Cartoons from Punch 1908 PART 4

A CHOICE OF ENDS Stranger (in response to general movement behind him). "He doesn't kick." Sportsman. "Does he bite?" Stranger. "No." Sportsman "Well anyhow, would you mind just turning his other end round this way?"

"OF MANNER GENTLE." Master (to unlucky sportsman, who, on making a short cut, has jumped into the middle of the pack at a check). "Good morning Sir! Do you happen to have seen the hounds?"

Sportsman (having just come over cramped place after a refusal). "Funny thing the old horse refused. I suppose it was because I got on his neck to miss that bough." Cruel Fair. "Don't blame the old horse. Perhaps he thought he had jumped!"

"We have deep and even turbulent streams to cross before we come to the end of our journey. But we know where we are going - (loud cheers) - and we shall not lose our way." (Renewed cheers.) (Mr. Asquith at the Reform Club April 30th 1908)

LONG FELT WANTS IN THE HUNTING FIELD (A suggestion for next season.) Why not have a starting-gate for the Thrusters?

TRIALS OF A HUNTSMAN. Huntsman (who has come a long way to a holloa). "Have you seen the fox?" Boy (from safe side of the gate). "No." Huntsman. "Then why was ye hollerin'?" Boy. "'Cause we wanted to see the 'unters."
