Another clergyman, under the pseudonym of Uncle Scribble, contributed to the pages of the Sporting Magazine an admirable series of photographs to adopt a modern word of hunting and hunting men, as remarkable for dry wit and common sense, as a thorough knowledge of sport. But Uncle Scribble, as the head of a most successful Boarding School, writes no more.

I may perhaps be pardoned for concluding my hints on hunting, by re-quoting from Household Words an Apology for Fox-hunting, which, at the time I wrote it, received the approbation, by quotation, of almost every sporting journal in the country. It will be seen that it contains a sentence very similar to one to be found in Mr. Rarey’s Horse Training A bad-tempered man cannot be a good horseman.
