MANY HUNTERS AND DOGS OUT.

Yesterday was the second day Of The
Worcester Fur company's fall nuht
and although no pelt was secured, the
days hunt was far more successful
than on the opening day, when a lone
fox was knocked down.
The district hunted yesterday was the
Asnebumskit and Stonehouse hill dis
tricts, the central point being the Hold
en- reservoir. The dogs did not drive
fox near enough for a good shot, al
though one or two hunters got sight
of one at a distance and blazed away.
Horace Adams tried long range snol
at one about / o'clock on Pine hill and
knocked him down, but the animal was
not killed. and nothing more was heard
or seen OF him. He was driven by
James F. Adams Sport, brother of John
R. Thayers Ranger, George A. Waites
Meg, and John N. Watson's Ben. The
dogs kept on after Mr.. Adams shot,
hut returned in Is or 20 minutes, having
caught and killed the fox or run nm
to cover
A. B. f. Kinney felt like getting out
of his wagon and kicking himself yes
terday afternoon. While he was drlVins
along the road at the head of Hold
en- reservoir a fox trotted contentedly
across the road directly in front of his
horse, and not more than two rods
away: Mr.. Kinney was seeking his
dogs at the time, and his gun was in the
bottom of his team. He reached for it
in record time, but the fox was out of
sight. When he got together a pack of
dogs and put them on, they CARR I'd ,he
trail away, and nothing more was seen
of them.
There were five foxes started during
the day, and the running was excel
lent. The day was perfect for fox hunt
ing The ground was moist, holding a
trail well, and a steady wind blew
fIom the southeast, which did NOT inter-
fere with the conditions.
The start was made from the Bay
State House at s o'clock about 80
hunters making up the party Many
of them took breakfast at the hotel
About 20 went in a barge, the remain
ing going in their carriages. One pack
of dogs was put in north of Stonehouse
hill toward Holden. The Kinney
White party put their dogs in on
'Bumskit hill early and they soon had
fox running. The party was COM
posed of A. B. F. Kinney John M.
White and Frank Hoyle of Sutton,
Ernest and Walter Walling. There
were in the pack of hounds
Mr.. Kinney's Keno and Duke,
the southern hound Marksman
belonging TO Col. Roger Williams
of Lexington, KY, Logan, Belle K,
Sam. Guess and Spot of the White
Kinney pack Ernest Walling's Rock
and Walter Walling's Chester B.
One of the best runs of the day was
started on Pine HILL the hounds driv-
ing to the west. They kept the fox on
the run for three hours. One or two
shots were heard in that vicinity by
hunters in the main party, but they
did not learn whether members of the
company fired them or outsiders.
Lunch was taken at the reservoir.
The majority of the hunters remained
in the field until about o'clock. At
that hour the barge picked UP it's load
and started home
The two days hunt has resulted in
adding to the score of the fur company
a single pelt, the female fox killed on
Bond hill Wednesday by w. S. Morine.
