one Of number that have recently come
Into the possession of the former organiza-
ton. The hounds were first warmed I'D on
the usual anise seed trail, starting In the
vicinity of the Tunlaw place. They went
through the country to the southwest, as
far as the receiving reservoir. Then a turn
was made. At Somerset Heights the stag
was let loose with his head toward the
stables of the club where he had been con-
nned long enough to get used to the place
When the hounds saw him they gave re-
newed vigor to their legs and when the
timid game became aware of the proximity,
ieetness and object of the hounds, he sud-
denly remembered that he had a pressing
engagement at the club stables. The path
OF stag. hounds and horses was beset with
trenches, hills and fences, which added to
the excitement Of the chase The hunted
animal outdistanced them all and entered
his quarters safely. after having given two
or three Impressions to the hunters that he
was on his way to Europe
