- Fox Chase.-On Saturday last there
was n grand old fashion fox hunt about
mile from Derwood. Early in the morn
ing the highways leading to the meet were
thronged with huntsmen and hounds, ana
the hills and dales of Rock Creek were
echoing to the horns of the hunters and the
baying of the dogs impatient for the start.
And now the dogs are off and the hunt
has begun. In about five minutes red
fox was started on Mr. Thos Cashells farm
with over twenty hounds hot ON his trail.
After a hard and exciting chase OF about an
hour Reward concluded he had enough OF
the finn and betook himself to his den near
the place of starting, where his capture
would have been easy, but the hunters
wisely concluding that the fox that runs
and gets away will live to run another day.
SO left his ioxship to furnish sport for an
other meet in the near future.
The hounds were again cast of and IN Il
short time another red iox was started near
Uorner's mill This time the game proved
a patriarch of the fox family, and from the
yround he selected and his wide running
gave huntsmen and hounds Ia understand
he was up to all the tricks for which ms klhd
are proyerbial, and that he would test the
grit aud staying qualities OF the dogs 10
their fullest limit before the chase was end
ed. but the pack proved equal to the test
4 Aarif accorded Them
by the old huntsmen present oil being among
the iruest and stickest runners they ever
followed. After running five or six hours
the second fox with dogs pursuing him by
sight took to ground on Mr.. VIM. Riggs
farm. This time the prospect oil bag chase
and brush was too strong temptation ior
the boys, and procuring pick and shovel
from Mr. Riggs in little while they had
Reynard in bag and were jogging along To
the farm of Mr. VIM. Fields, where the old
chan was again given a show, which proved
n very slim one, for his life
The fox was liberated in large open field
in front Of Mr. Fields house and started OIL
at a lively pace, and the hounds were gwen
the trail about 200 yards behind him The
run did no. last over five minutes, when the
fox was killed on Mr.. X. Watkins farm
Among those whose hounds were in the
chase were Messrs. Julian Walters and Jno
Hall. of Jamestown; Robt sherwood, Jr.
