HARE AND HOUNDS.
(To the Edito’\)
Sir, —As a lover of true sport I take off mv hat to your forcible leader in Saturday’s'issue on the alleged sport of coursing. Your sentiments will find ready echo in the hearts of all lovers of animals. The 'sport that consists in turning a bare loose m an enclosure and then enjoying the fun of seeing it torn to pieces by dogs is a brutal and degrading one such as no true sports.man could countenance. It may be too much to expect, however much it is to be hoped, that your leader will prevent any such spectacle being witnessed in Poverty Ray for the future,_ but of this much be assured your action will win its warm approval of a vast majority of tho people, and it may lead to such action being, taken as will have the effect. of relegating this sport winch is no sport to tho company of bull-baiting, cock-fighting, and other like discarded products l of human depravity.—l am etc. “SPORTSMAN.” June 7th.
