and beautiful, they stretch themselves
across country after fashion that tests
the gait and endurance of the best or
the horses that follow. The two packs
combined aggregate thirty-five couples
of hounds.
Among the prominent Washington
people who follow the hounds faithful
ly and constantly, are numbered Miss
NewlaDds. Miss Elkins, Miss Helen
Bell. Miss Boomer. Mrs. Snyder. Miss
Posthlewaite. the Swedish and Danish
ministers, Fred and Reginald Huide-
koper, Aeck and Hugh Legare, Capt.
Lars Anderson, Dion and Chester Kerr,
Count Zichy and a number of others.
The hunt meets at various places
throughout the District and the adjoin-
ing Maryland counties, including Be
thesda, Plyers Postoffice, Forest Glen,
Brightwood, Tenleytown, Kensington,
Silver Spring, and the house and ken
nels of the club. Notice of the place
of the meet is given in advance. and
from fifteen to fifty men and women
follow the hounds. AT the last meet of
the season just closed there were sixty
in the field.
Hunt Is Finely Appointed.
In dress and appointments the hunt is
not surpassed in this country-it holds,
indeed. an almost unchallenged pre-
eminenCe. The huntsmen and whips
wear the scarlet and black of the club
and every piece of accouterment glistens
from the combined application Of pipe
clay and elbow grease. 1t Is as spick
and span as a church parade and in
every possible way a most attractive
spectacle.
OF what the club has accomplished in
the matter of improving the breed of
horses the recent exhibitions and con-
tests held under its auspices afford a
striking and convincing illustration 1t
must be a good nag that can beat a
Washington hunter. that has attained
anything approaching recognition. over
fence or across ditch. Those that can
not accomplish five feet eight are very
much in the second class. and a greater
height than this is within the easy reach
of quite a number of them.
And that's some jumping.
1t is one of the boasts OF the club that
it has held four meets a week during
twelve seasons with never any very Sc
rious accident. That there have been
tumbles and falls innumerable and some
nasty troopers is a matter of course
and excites scarcely passing comment.
But nobody has been killed" Mr.
Moore viii say, and everybody is con-
