     With regard to methods of procedure in the hunting´field�察�enough has 

been said。��1�А�But there are many benefits which the enthusiastic sportsman 

may expect to derive from this pursuit。��2�А�I speak of the health which will 

thereby accrue to the physical frame�察�the quickening of the eye and ear�察�the 

defiance of old age�察�and last�察�but not least�察�the warlike training which it 

ensures。 To begin with�察�when some day he has to tramp along rough ways 

under arms�察�the heavy infantry soldier will not faint or flaghe will stand 

the toil from being long accustomed to the same experiences in capturing 

wild beasts。 In the next place�察�men so trained will be capable of sleeping 

on hard couches�察�and prove brave guardians of the posts assigned them。 In 

the actual encounter with the enemy�察�they will know at once how to attack 

and to carry out the word of command as it passes along the lines�察�because 

it was just so in the old hunting days that they captured the wild game。 If 

posted     in  the  van   of  battle�察 �they   will  not   desert   their  ranks�察  �because 

endurance is engrained in them。 In the rout of the enemy their footsteps 

will not falter nor fail�此�straight as an arrow they will follow the flying foe�察�

on every kind of ground�察�through long habituation。��3�А�Or if their own army 

encounter      a   reverse   on    wooded     and    precipitous    ground     beset   with 

difficulties�察�these will be the men to save themselves with honour and to 

extricate   their   friends�察  �since   long   acquaintance   with   the   business   of   the 

chase has widened their intelligence。��4�А�
