A Big Fay in Clip.

Tuesday, December q. 1898, was red let
ter day in the quaint old town of Clip. At
IL o'clock the hunting clubs of Jefferson,
Clarke and Berkeley counties had rabbit
chase. The Clarke and jefferson clubs were
represented by Messrs. Edgar and Arthur
Carter and Joseph T. Grantham. and to
these gentlemen must be given the credit for
carrying the chase to such q successful ter
inination- The Berkeley club was not rep
resented, and the other members regretted
it exceedingly. Promptly at the appointed
hour the rabbits were turned loose and sew
eFal pretty chases resulted. The dogs showed
good training, and about 10 were in the ra-
ces. Mr.. Grantham is a thorough sportsman
and it was principally his efforts that gave
the large crowd present this days pleasure.
All the rabbits were caught, and every one
enjoyed the sport to its fullest.
In the afternoon parade of swampood-
lers took place and a large crowd was on the
streets. At night an oyster supper was held
in the Masonic Hall for the benefit of the
Clipper Brass Band. Wehope thegentlemen
will have another chase soon and feel sure
it viii be equally as successful as this one.
