The Rose Tree Hunt Club which has
been meeting with poor success in its runs
lately, had fine chase yesterday lasting
nearly two hours. A fox was started at
Snake house woods, aud from the jump
led the pack merry and fast run. The
chase was through Upper Providence,
Marble and Newtown. Once Reynard
was near death. The hounds ran him on
sight across an open field, and only his
good sprinting and good wind saved his
brush. He was badly frightened, but he
got away by taking to dense thicket and
soon after found safe retreat, and took
to earth.
Some of the hunters who helped to drive
the fox home were Simon Delbert Jr.,
William Kennedy, J. Howard Lewis, Jr.,
