Oelrichs jumped the part OF the fence,
and almost Immediately In hts wake rode Mr.. Rooss-
than she struck Mr. Oerchs, knocking him out OF tho
saddle. The writer was just behind approaching tho
in time to avoid further trouble by not taking the
fence AZ the same point Happily no one was
hurt, and the unseated riders soon remounted
and tho sport proceeded. We estimated
that had now made some four miles rather more
having been going about half an hour at fair pace
We bad had another brief check too, but were
again, now moving directly toward the north. Alter
taking bali dozen more jumps we crossed the Con-

however and soon they had mounted TO the top OF a
little higher ground, about mile and half to tho
south OF Hcksville.

Arrived at this point, with tho dogs lttle 10 the
nlng along beside fence, with splendid dash tho
master OF the bounds cast his dogs along the drec-
pursued by Inc whole pack Il was not long to the
finish after this, but the finish was the very best
part OF the run. Across the field, beyond the
lead they needed Mr. Griswold dashed, followed by
the whip, aud after HIM ran Mcssrs zborowsk, Cen

posed but all pressed and cleared them quite pre-
tily except Mr. Roosevelt, whose animal had evil

The farmers generally do not seem antagonis.ic 10
the recently inaugurated sport, though one or lwo
