There remains one cardinal principle with regard to the spirit of
Fox-hunting. If it is to retain its vigour, it must never become the
privilege of any particular class. Like all other really good things it
is either national or else it is nothing. If ever it presents the
appearance of being based upon exclusiveness the whole fabric will
dissolve. The proper preservation of Fox-hunting is a trust held by all
parties to its direction, whether landowners, farmers, or subscribers,
in order to provide the healthiest form of British sport for every one
who can enjoy it, whether on foot or on horseback.
