Mobbing a fox. Is when foot passengers, or foolish jealous horsemen so surround a cover, that the fox is driven into the teeth of the hounds, instead of being allowed to break away and show sport.

Mute. When the pace is great hounds are mute, they have no breath to spare; but a hound that is always mute is as useless as a rich epicure who has capital dinners and eats them alone. Hounds that do not help each other are worthless.

Noisy. To throw the tongue without scent is an opposite and equal fault to muteness.

Open. When a hound throws his tongue, or gives tongue, he is said to open.

Owning a scent. When hounds throw their tongues on the scent.

Pad. The foot of a fox.
