Excerpt from Hunting and Sporting Notes in the West Midlands, Season 1885-86: Containing Accounts of Sport in Cheshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Herefordshire, and Wales

Nimrod tells us That foxhunting suspends the cares of life, whilst the speculations of the racecourse too generally increase them. The one steels the constitution, whilst the anxious cares of the other have a contrary effect. The love of the chase may be said to be screwed into the soul of man by the noble hand of nature, whereas the pursuit of the other is too often the offspring of a passion we should wish to disown. The -one enlarges the sympathies, which unite us in a bond of reciprocal kindness and good 0 'ces in the pursuit of the other almost every man is our foe. Lastly, the chase does not usually bring a man into bad company the modern turf is fast becoming the very manor of the worst.
