Cast-Next Meet Next Wednesday, and
Season Closes Saturday, April IL.

With the hunting season drawing to a
close, after a series of the most success
full runs ever held around Washington,
the Chevy Chase hounds were out yes
terday afternoon, meeting at Kensington
Station, Md, at o'clock. Whether the
meets have been close to Washington, or
the riders been compelled to road eight
or ter miles, the fields have always been
large, clearly showing that those who
have been following the pack during the
present season have done so purely from
the love OF the chase. The string of
horses now following the hounds in
cludes many well-known ones from differ
ent parts of the country, horses that
have not only demonstrated their ability
to carry their riders grandly across coun-
try. but have left their mark in show
rings at the various horse shows.
The present season will hold its last
run on Saturday April 70, hounds meet
ing at the Forest Glen Hotel at o'clock
The season of 1902-l903 will be inaugural
ed on Saturday, November /, and in the
meantime decided addition to the pack
will be made by the arrival OF the late
purchase of sixteen couple OF young
hounds which are now on their way from
England
Fine Riding Over Fair County.
The field yesterday took complete pcs
session Of the little town of Kensington,
Md. Between the time of the meet and
the casting of the hounds expressions of
regret that hunting would so soon be
over were frequently heard, but when the
master signaled for the hounds to be cast
all else was forgotten in anticipation Of
the afternoons sport, as the pack worked
well from cast to finish, and horses and
riders enjoyed q good gallop across ten
or more miles of very fair hunting coun-
try, with a liberal supply of fences and
enough bitches, blind and otherwise, to
add an amount of uncertainty to the jump
ing.
