TALLY IlO
"A Day with tho Hounds


They had fox hunt down ut West
Chester the other day and, besides the
local club, members OF the Rose Tree and
one Of our Lancaster county hr!ntsacn
participated. Upon reaching the Cas!in
farm, in East Bradford, the dogs soon
started 4 fox under the management of
Master Of Hounds Jefferson S;hancr
When the dogs commenced giving tongue
tho horsemen at once started on Il good
run which lasted for about Il mile, when a
little out was made, but the hounds soon
recovered and reynard was sent along
again .at q lively rate. After making y
circle around George Hoffman, place the
fox started for the Brandy closely
pushed by the dogs, while some Of the
hOrsemen were also riding close up
with the hunt. After making a short
run OH the other side of the creek,
the fox again crossed to the east side
when it at once made for its starting
point. This time the animal concluded 10
stay nearer at home and continued to run
in a circle for the rest,<,Y the hunt. In the
afternoon the ground had become SO mud
dy that it was hard for the dogs to do any
good, but they kept on running and at 3
O'Clock holed the fox in Joseph Cactcr's
woods, not more than two miles from
where it started. 1t will be seen that the
fox ran for nearly seven hours and during
that time did not get over three Or four
miles from it's starting point, thus giving
the fOOtmen who accompanied the
hunt several good views of it
without much walking. When it Was
found that the fox Was ho,ed, tools
were procured and the work OF dig
ging it out commenced. This operation
was done with 4 will, especially by some
of the farmers who had lost chickens or
turkeys by the sly animals visits to their
poultry yards. After digging for about
an hour the fox was reached. The Iucs-
tiOn now arose what to do with tie thief
let it out at once or save it for another
day, when the latter plan was agreed upon.
Before going home the club promised to
tell the~day when the fox would be let out
that all might be present at it's death Al
together the days sport was very fine
and enjoyed by all. The riding of some
of the hunters was very good, fences and
bitches being taken in fine style and
4 single accident cannot be accorded to the
hunt, save tumble one man got in q
swamp and he was not hurt. Darlington
Strobe was unfortunate enough to let his
horse got away from him, which caused
him to go afOot for an hour, when some
one caught the animal for him. Another
feature in the hunt was the small boy Oh
the dun horse. The boy was with the lead
hOrsemen most all the time, and when the
fox was holed lie was right there, smiling
and as happy as you please.

SENATOR WAGNER. who vas killed

SENATOR WAGNER, who was killed
in the New YGfk Central railroad acci-
dent, perished in one of the luxurious
parlor cars of company in which he
was heavily interested and whose inter-
ests he represented in the Legislature.
His death has tragic coincidence in
this fact; and, in view of the close divi-
sion of the New York Senate and the
quarrel over the organization, it may
have some political significance. 1t
would be strange indeed if Senator
Jacobs, the Democratic candidate for
president, opposed by the Tammany
anti-monopolists, would yet owe his elec-
ton to the reduced Republican vote
ensuing from the death of g. monopo-
list " member of the Senate.
SOME of the Republican politicians af-
feet to he surprised at the statement that
Beaver was nominated for governor at a
conference in Washington some weeks
ago ; and they mildly deny it. The
truth is Beaver was nominated for gov
ernor of Pennsylvania at the Republican
national convention of Chicago in 1880,
when he led the Pennsylvania deleSa-
tiOn for Grant. There was no special
conference about it. Don Cameron dill
it. And it stands yet.
