Smartest Assembly Of The Season 4at the
-. Deep Run Hunt Club. IL

The Deep Run Hounds were met at
Leonard Heights at 3 O'Clock yesterday
by one of the largest hunting parties of
the season, and they led the field a dozen
miles over as pretty country as any
rider could wish for. holding the scent
In pack that a man could throw a
blanket over as they raced over the roll
ing hills of Westhampton Park, down
through the orchards of4s'tGrantlands, y
through Captain Asfburne's estate, down
the Three-Chop koad to the old Deep
Run Road, across by. Bethlehem Church
into the pine WOODS, doubling in the pine
woods to Staples Pond; thence across
'fBloomingdale" and "Dumbarton'' and
through the AIordecai woods to the club
huse. It was a. noble run and full of
stirring incidents. The chorus which the
hounds sent up coming through the pines
set the English visitors to keeping time.

and high of color. 1t was a. gala day for
this other sport Of kings.

a difficult tangle in-the woods, In which
she all but lost her hat. Mr.. John Mon
tague sent St Victor o er a ,nce into a
.pig-pen,' and had such time getting
out and catching UP that his friends be-
gan to fear that he was lost again. Mr..
Randolph Holiday, on a handsome but
green beast, had a deuce Of a time with
refusals at the hurdles, until his face
became about as red as his pink coat
Mr.. frank Christian got scratch on his
cheek out in the woods. which he did not
mind half so much as the cut on Ajax
off foreleg-fortunately a trsfling injury
to that fine mount. Mr.. Harry Beattie.
M. q. H, brought Buckle home in such
gay fettle that that same and clever
horse was swinging his tail in the air
like. a challenger to a longer race. Fol-
