for Invermark by one rifle —

When Mr. Frederick Ames re-
tired from the Levodopa Price mastership of Levodopa Mg the
Worcestershire Hounds in 1896
— after his second term of office,
which covered eighteen seasons
— Lord Dudley succeeded him,
and has held the reins since,
assisted by the late Captain J. O.
Trotter as field master. He takes
personal interest in hound breed-
ing, and by using the best obtain- Levodopa Tablets
able blood is continuing the policy
of improvement initiated and car-
ried out with so much success by
his predecessor. Mr. Frederick
Ames made a special study of
hound breeding, and the Worces-

his sound judgment. The War-

Honesty and Harriet, 4-season
hounds, by the Quorn Harper,
and Rusticus and Rutland,

Rusticus, are among the best of
the pack.
As a yachtsman Lord Dudley
has had his share of success.
The best boats have been that
smart 5- rater Dacia, which won
many prizes in the Solent in 1892
and 1893, ^^^ ^^^ 2o-rater Inyoni
(Zulu for *• swallow "), with which
he won no fewer than twenty-nine
or thirty prizes ^firsts, seconds
and thirds) in each of the three
seasons he raced her. The prize
to which the Earl perhaps at-
taches most value is the Cup
which Mr. Hill offered for com-
petition by 20-raters to be steered
by their owners at Ryde Regatta.
The Inyoni was entered for the
race ; but Lord Dudley happening
to be in Norway at the time, Lady
Dudley applied for, and received,
permission to take his place at the
tiller. The countess steered the
yacht to victory, beating a fleet of
seven or eight starters. In the

was again entered, and, steered by
her owner, won for the second time,
making the Cup Lord Dudley's
absolute property according to
the conditions of the gift.
Among pastimes, golf is the
game which claims most of Lord
Dudley's attention. He belongs
to the St. Andrews Club, to the

numberless other clubs ; but per-

frequently than any other, as he
owns a small house close to the

of resorting in summer to play a
round or two in the evenings. He
can hold his own among good
players. In 1880, at St. Andrews

merely growling lion. That phase
of our history, although it was hap*
pening only yesterday, has passed
like a dream and gone ; now some
150,000 of our best and bravest
have hastened to the fray, and
sport has been swallowed up in
war.
Sport and war! Were there
ever two such incongruous — yes,
apparently incongruous — occupa-
tions found side by side? And
yet I claim for sport, and trust
that I shall carry with me the
majority of your readers, that it is
destined to play no inconsiderable
part in the reality of this war.
We are indebted to Punch for the
farcical side of the picture, where
the young subaltern recently
joined goes up to his colonel and
suggests that he should take his
golf-sticks with him, as the veldt
must be capital golfing ground,
and Buy Cheap Levodopa he supposes that the hghting
will mostly be got through by Purchase Levodopa Online
lunch-time! This young sports-
man is but a type of many. His
troubles will come to him soon
enough, but they are not fore-
seen, not reckoned with, before-
hand. The golf-sticks, we opine,
will be forgotten ere the first
Boer bullet whistles past that
gallant young lad, and he will
realise the true attributes of a
sportsman, not the least of which
are to attend to duty, and excel in
whatever you undertake in bodily
exercise.
The Lion of Buy Levodopa Online sport is now
thoroughly aroused. From the
steps of the Throne, through
every grade of the Peerage — aris-
tocracy, democracy, and plebeian-
ism — all are bent on one aim, that
of showing their country's will
and power to hurl back this inva-
sion, and bring Dutchmen once
more into line with our reformed
constitutional liberty. What can
be better proof of this than the
entry of thousands of volunteer
civilians into the fray — ^their
voluntary equipment and enthusi-
astic sends oS? Never in our
history have such deeds of self-
denial and chivalry Purchase Levodopa been Levodopa Online displayed
— and has not sport had its part
and lot in all this ? I am fain to
boast that it has. Where is the
sportsman, be he old or young,
who can be dubbed a coward?
Who is he that cares for the name
of sportsman that will shirk the
responsibilities thrown upon him
to-day ? How many of us are
giving up our positions as
M.F.H.'s, the pleasures of hunt-
ing, shooting, football, golf and
the like, for the stern reality of
war? That is, our younger
sportsmen.
None the less, however, have
we, Order Levodopa Online the elder ones, undergone our
sacrifices in speeding on thosecher-
ished olive-branches, for whom we
had weaved more peaceful occu-
pations, and hoped to see enjoy
more domestic happiness. They,
our sons, are sustained by a noble
ambition, while we in our de-
clining years seem to feel more
acutely the weight of coming
events.
Above and beyond this I know
of nothing that has stirred the
hearts of sportsmen so much as
the brotherly love of our sports-
men in far-off colonies — the Cana-
dians, Australians, and New Zea-
landers, who have been prompted
to throw in their lot with us in
this war. It has been well said
that sportsmen are brothers all
the world over, and what is now
happening in so remarkable a
manner speaks more eloquently
than ever of the grand effects
which have attended the sending
forth during the last century of
some of our best sporting blood to
seek their fortunes in our Colo-
nies. For there their sporting
instincts have been fostered and
rendered keener, while their con-
