RECKLESS SOUTHERN HORSEMEN
When After Hounds Nothing Daunts a
Nirginian or Kentuckian.

1t Is hard to fathom the spirit of reck-
iessness that most sharply differenti-
ateS the southern hunter from his north
ern brother and that runs him amuck
when he comes into contact with horse
whether riding, driving or betting on
him. If thing has to be done in hunt
ing field or can be done, there Is little
difference between the two. Only the
thing must, with northerner, be
matter of skill and judgment, and he
likes to know his horse. To him or to an
Englishman the southern hunters per-
romance on green horse looks little
short of criminal. In certain counties of
Virginia where hunters follow the
hounds after the English fashion. the
main point seems to be for each man to
hang up" the man behind him, and
desperate risks are un II have stopped
that boyish foolishness, though" said
an aged hunter under 30; Il give my
horse chance" In other words he had
stopped exacting of him the impossible.
In Georgia they follow hounds at a fast
galfop through wooded bogs and swamps
at night, and l have seen horse go
down twice within distance of thirty
yards and the rider never leave his back.
The same is true in Kentucky and sup
pose the other southern states
l have known ore of my friends in the
blue grass to amuse himself by getting
into his buggy an unsuspecting friend,
who was as seGlate then as he is now
(and he is judge now) and driving him
at full speed through an open gate, then
whizzing through the woods ard seeing
how near he could Craze the trunks of
the trees in his course and how sharply
he could turn, and ending up the circuit
by dIashing, still at full speed, into
creek, his companion still sedate and
fearless, but swearing helplesSly. Be
ing bantered by an equally reckless
friend one dark midnight while going
home, this man threw both lines out on
his horsa's back and gave the high
strung beast a smart cut with his whip.
He ran four miles, kept the pike by the
sound mercy of providence and stopped
exhausted at his masters gate.
A northern visitor was irritatedI by the
apparently reckless driving of his host,
who Is a famous horseman in the blue
grass.
"You lunatic," he said, you'd better
drive over those loose stone piles!"

will." was the grave answer. ana he

II WILL" was the grave answer. ana he
did.
This is the Kentuckian In a buggy.
Imagine him on horseback, with no la
dies present to check the spirit OF the
spirits of the occasion, and we can be-
lieve that the Thanksgiving hunt OF the
Iroquois club is perhaps a little moro
serious business than playing polo or
riding after aniseed. And yet there Is
hardly a members OF this club who could
sit in his saddle over the course at
Meadowbroow or Chevy Chase for he
had never practicedl jumping horse in
his stride and because when he goes fast
he takes the jockey seat. which is not,
believe a good seat for a five-foot fence;
at the same time there is hardly coun-
trybred rider in the blue grass, man or
woman, who would not try 1t. Still, ac-
cidents are rare and 1t is yet a tenet In
the creed of the southern hunter that
the safer plan Is to take no care. On the
chase with grayhounds the dogs run, Of
course by sight. and the point with the
huntsman is to be first at the place of the
kill AS the greyhound tosses the rab-
bit several feet in the air and catches It
when it falls, the place is seen by all and
there iH mad rush for that one spot.
The hunters crush together and often
knock one another down. 1 have known
two fallen horses and their riders to be
cleared in leap. by two hunters who
were close behind them. One of the men
was struck by the hoof flying over him.
II saw a shoe glisten," he said, "and
then it was darkness for while. Cen.
