Note 22 — BLOOD-SPORTS AT SCHOOLS
Reading edition
It should not be forgotten that hare-hunting is also carried on by our naval cadets. Here is an extract from the Naval and Military Record of March 1, 1906, describing a run with the Dartmouth (“Britannia”) Beagles: “Just outside the covert a hare was moved in the ploughing by hounds, and gave a most exciting chase around two fields, and when killed was found to have only three legs.” A fine sport for our future naval officers!
