the sport. after the period OF bad wealth
er which has prevented hunting for some
time past. although old Reynard kept
his nose under cover. and the much-cov-
eted brush was not taken, It was most
successful meet. and everyone was we'll
pleased Despite the fact that the roads
were IN a bad condition. there were no
accidents or mishaps to mar the pleas
ures of the day.
The huntsman and whips were
mounted on Hawke. Lady Teasel. and
O'Malley. The run started from Bright
wood promptly at o'clock. The hounds
were cast soon after leaving Bright
wood. The chase led through the farm
and grounds Of the late Governor Shep-
herd, and then the hounds crossed Rock
Greek. with the merry crowd Of riders
bearing on close behind them. The
bounds entered a property, where several
pole in and out fences or various heights
and descriptions had to be negotiated.
Everyone was given an opportunity to
show his grit, and many were the mar
row escapes from tumbIes The thor
oughbreds then ran through the Blair
Lee farm. and across the large area OF
land owned by Montgomery Blair, where
more difficult fences were taken without
mishap
After a check. for short rest. the run
continued through Mr.. CaIahan's prop
erty. and in Rock Creek Park The road
was reached after the party emerged
from the park. AID then the gathering
rode to the clubhouse. beyond Chez,
