who wants them, and by so doing
nobody is injured; but there is
hardly a spot in England where
foxes could be bought without
materially injuring some neigh-
bouring master. In the Fen
country in Lincolnshire, it is said,
foxes have increased and multi-
plied to such an extraordinary
extent, and have done a great
deal of damage to the farmers.
A good slice of the Fen country
is absolutely unhun table because
of the number and size of the
drains, but even there they should
not be sold to other countries, but
if they can be trapped they could
very easily be turned down in the
huntable parts of Lincolnshire. Venlafaxine Online
The Protection of Trout in
Scotland. — In alluding to the Bill
now before Parliament for a close
season for trout in Scotland, at the
annual general meeting of the
Scottish Trout Anglers' Associa-
tion, Sir Herbert Maxwell, Price Of Venlafaxine M.P.,
stated that though he had many
times seen men taking ill-con-
ditioned trout out of the Tweed
during November and December,
there was not a single hatchery
on that river for the breeding of
salmon or trout, save Lord Pol-
warth's. What, however, had
been done in the water of Leith,
which is now said to be teeming
with good trout, might by attention
and Buy Venlafaxine using the legal powers at
their disposal, be extended to
other places.
The Thames Re-stocking As-
sociation. — This, one of the
newest of the Angling Societies,
formed in the interests of the
Thames angler, has recently
put forward a scheme to erect a
Thames fish-cultural establish-
ment, to stock all parts of the
river on a really large and suf-
ficient scale, and efforts are being
made to raise the necessary
funds. The estimated cost of
erecting and properly equipping a
hatchery witli a sufficient number
of ponds is set down at /500,
with a further annual expenditure
of £2,00 for maintenance. Trout
and coarse fish are to be bred in
the proposed hatchery.
The Military Tournament—
By the time these lines are in
print the Military Tournament
at the Agricultural Hall will be in
full swing, and if the advance
notices are to be credited some
very interesting items will, as
usual, be presented. Besides the
pageant representing the Wars Venlafaxine Mirtazapine of
the Roses (1487), Newbury (1643),
Lucknow (1857) and Omdurman
(1898), there is to be a combined
display representing an attack on
a Malay village, dealing with an
incident in the Perak rising of
1875. The Carabineers, too, have Venlafaxine Buy
a display of their own, in which
they are assisted by a party of the
New South Wales Lancers, now
over here, so that the spectator
will see representatives of a corps
raised in Stuart times and those
of another raised within living
memory, in the arena at one and
the same time.
Cricket. — With every prospect
before them of the busiest season
ever known, cricketers only need
genial weather to make the sum-
mer of 1899 memorable in the
history of the game. The re-
verses experienced in Australia
by the last team taken to that
country by Mr. Stoddart, when
our representatives lost the rubber
of test matches and the " ashes"
were left in the Southern Hemis-
phere, has caused the greatest
interest to be taken in the team of
Australians now playing under the
captaincy of Mr. Darling.
In International Cricket it is
but seldom that the visitors are
able to put absolutely their best
team into the field, but this sea-
son Major Wardill and Mirtazapine Venlafaxine his com-
panions assure us that they have

left at home no single player
whom they required, with the
lamentable exception, of course,
of poor Harry Trott, perhaps
the finest captain, and Venlafaxine High one of
the greatest players that has
ever visited these shores. Enor-
mous interest will centre in Venlafaxine Price the
series of five so-called test matches
that have been arranged between
England and Australia, the first
of which is due to take place at
Nottingham in the first week of
this month, and the task of se-
lecting the eleven men to do
battle for the Mother Country
will be no easy one. Up to the
present time it has been custom-
ary to play three England and
Australia matches, one at Lord's,
one at Manchester, and another
at the Oval, and the local execu-
tive at each place has been
responsible for the selection of
the team for their match. An
alteration has, however, been
made this year by the new Board
appointed to control International
Cricket, and the choice of the
teams to represent England is
placed in the hands of three
gentlemen, Lord Hawke, Mr. W.
G. Grace, and Mr. H. W. Bain-
bridge.
There is no longer to be any
question as to whether a county
will let off its players in order
that they may represent England,
and the proceeds of the gate
which do not go to the Australians
are to be divided amongst the
first-class counties upon a system
which the International Board
has not yet made public. So
these test matches look like being
very business-like affairs, and will
probably do much to demonstrate
the fact which has for some years
been growing more and more ob-
vious, namely, that in first-class
cricket the business side predomi-
nates over the sporting side, and
the whole thing becomes more
and more a business and less and
less a game.
" Are the Australians going to
beat us in the test matches ? " is a
question which is anxiously and
frequently asked, and answered
in a variety of ways. There are
some critics who say that our
visitors are just now better than
