A LIVELY FOX CHASE IN GUNPOW.
DER NECK.


A large number of huntsmen and hounds col
lected together on Saturday morning, the 9Th in-
slant; on Mr.. Augustus Rembold's farm, for a
fox chase: Accordingly at nine o'clock, Mr.. VIM.
Piice, of Baltimore, turned Reynard loose. AT
ter thorough shake and look back at the
crowd, he started off down the lane over the
fence across the fields and was soon out of sight
The dogs, numbering about twenty-five, were
let out about fifteen minutes later. They soon
camo upon Reynard, and he was killed after a
short but lively chase, in the centre of large
field: Mr.. Henry Price, of Rock Hall, was first at
the death and captured the brush" which was a
about four inches of the end being white.
After short parley the dogs were taken over
to strip of woods bordering on Kings Creek,
and sent of, In short while Reynard No. was
under way with the dogs close behind him. He
gave very pretty chase. running over the same
ground some three or four times, causing the
huntsmen to travel around the fields and over the
fences in hurry. He was finally captured by
the dogs after about one and a-half hours run
Mr. Daniel Sullivan, of Gunpowder Neck, sue
ceeeded in getting the brush.
About noon Reynard No. 3 was found by the
dogs in Gators woods, and made the grandest
hunt of the day. He would run up as far AS the
railroad, then turn and go back to point about
five miles below, when he would again turn and
come up He was under the eye of the huntsmen
most of the time and appeared to run for the
pleasure of the chase. He finally ran into his den
in Little Britain woods, where he was allowed to
rest.
Reynard No. 4 was then aroused and he made a
run of about an hour which was quite as exciting
as Reynard No. l. lie was also run into his den
Reynard No. was surprised in Long Point
woods, and beat "A hasty retreat up along the
shore of Gunpowder River for nearly mile
then turned to the right and came back over the
| fields into Long Point woods, crossing at the
head of Sundays Creek, turned down to Doves
Cove and then came up the shore of Bush River
as far as Postum Cove. He then doubled, ran
1 back the shore short distance, turned and came
over the fields u Little Britain woods, through
which he crossed to the Neck road in the direc-
ton of Gunpowder. Here the dogs were called
of at sunset, and huntsmen and dogs all started
for home, after having one of the best hunts that
has ever been held in Gunpowder Neck.
During the chase of Reynard No. 3 Mr.. John
Magness' horse in jumping over q pile of stone
| crossing branch was thrown and turned COM
plete somersault. Mr.. Magness escaped injury
| he having jumped and landed safely on his feet
| but the horse was severely bruised about the
knees and skinned in several places on the head
| and ears About two " ecks ago, these same gen.
| tlemen had hunt in Gunpowder Neck, when
| two foxes were killed, Mr.. John Magness getting
| one brush and Mr.. Thomas Sullivan the other
Two other foxes were run into their dens. 1t is
| to the credit of the dogs that they did not on
either day make a loss that they did not pick VI
| again, making better record than the Elkridgt
| Club dogs, of which we read such vivid accounts
| in the Baltimore Sun occasionally, and as was
said by member of the Elkrdge Club "They
| are not thoroughbreds either
