gives breathing time for the riders

losing the scent. The hounds follow II
clear and fast and the rnders must Keep
up with them or acknowledge that they
have no business in such company.
The anise seed bag is employed be-
cause the majority of the hunting set
are men with business cares, who can
only give two afternoons a week to the
sport. They arrange to be at the meet
at a certain hour and If long time were
wasted in stirring up fox the pleasure
of the hunt would be greatly diminished.
Sometimes the hunts take place in the
morning, and many of the riders ex-
pect to get through in time to go TO
town in the afternoon to attend to their
business affairs Foxes are uncertain
animals, and in all probability they
would carry the riders long way from
railroad station before falling victim
to the speed of the hounds. For these
reasons the anise seed bag is used, al
though at regular interval foxes are fol-
lowed to keep the hounds in good trim.
The principal hunting clubs around
New York are the Westminster, near
New Rochelle, N Y; the Meadowbrook,
rear Hampstead, l.. l.; the Rockaway,
near tCedarhurst, l.. L.; the Essex coun-
ty, New Jersey. and the Richmond coun-
ty, Staten Island. The two Long Island
clubs are the favorites because of the

great number Of country seats in their
vicinity owned by rich New Workers..
These houses are very convenient for
hunt breakfasts, hunt teas and hunt
balls, thus blending social pleasures
with the joys of the field.
And the best women riders are to be
found on Long Island. Besides Mrs
Kernochan there is Miss Anna Sands,
who goes in for every variety Of sport,
from catboat sailing, golfing, bicycling,
to rifle and revolver shooting. Then
there is Mrs. J. Boardman Hartman,
who divides her presence between the
Westminster pack and the Long Island
hunts. Mrs. Adolph Ladenburg has not
been seen in the saddle since the
death of her husband year ago, but 1t
is expected that she will grace the Long
Island meets this fall. She is almost as
clever a rider as Mrs. Kernochan, and
will take chances with five barred
fence that would faze the average man.
Mrs. E. d. Morgan is another clever
horsewoman, and so is Mrs. August Bel
mont. Mrs. Tom Hitchcock, Jr., is nat
urally good rider, and SO is Mrs Fox
hall Keene. These two young women
have the advantage Of possessing hus-
! bands whose fame in the hunting field
is known far and wide.
OF riding costumes there is little
change from those used last fall. This
| year there are two riding coats in vogue
One is a jaunty double breasted cuta-
way made to show vest and linen
| chemisette. It has q small turnover
Also mannish pocket near the left

vesting in plaid designs. They are ex-
tremely stylish and give the correct
touch of color to dark costume. The
| novelty Of the season Is dark blue and
bright green plaid. Plain red vests are
always In favor during the fall, and
they are pretty enough to be worn the
! year round.
Shetland cloth is perhaps the newest
material for riding habits, but the stand
ard cloths, like whipcord, melton and
| covert, are always to be relied upon.
| The favorite colors are dark blue brown,
black and deep green. The skirt of the
! well made riding habit does not fit toe
tightly over the hips. It measures two

that comes in their way with the breezy
nonchalance which only the real hard

stances.
The fox hunting season will soon be
In full cry, and then the women Of the
smart set will forget all about bicycles
and golfing sticks. These latter will be
cast aside as affairs too tame for use,
and all the attention that has been law
ished upon them for months past will be
concentrated upon riding clothes and
the stables which shelter madam's hunt
era
From this it must not be imagined that
every woman in the swell set of New
York rides to hounds. At the most the
total number Is not greater than three
score, for fox hunting is a rare sport,
requiring rare nerve, rare sense and rare
horsemanship. Not every woman pos
1esSea these qualities. But the more
fortunate who do, give the lie to the pop
ular idea that the woman of fashion is
merely some dainty thing whose sole
mission in life is to sit still in her franz
ings Of finery and be admired.
These women of the hunting set ride
straight and true, never fiinching when
the pinch comes, and often beating

and the swift pace. OF these fortunate
and hardy ten the most conspicuous was

woman to finish. Since then Mrs. Kerr
