hounds and hunted in that territory the balance
of the season. Mr.. Gould has lost much OF MS en-
tbusiasm for cross-country riding. and Is now de-
voting his time to polo playing. He Will hunt oc-
casionallv with the Monmouth County pack Out II

The removal OF Mr.. Goud's hounds leaves the
field open to ]. J. Dwyer, the owner Of the Lake
wood Foxhounds. This pack has had long rest,
owing 10 the wet weather that has prevailed In
the pine regions the last two weeks. There seems

ments as to have rain on tap every day that
the hounds have been advertised to meet In the
last fortnight.
