COSTLY CLUB.

Very few people know that E. d.
Hartman, the railroad magnate, has es-
tablished one of the costliest clubs in
the country near Middleburg, in Lou
doun county.
As a rule the members OF the club
keep to themselves and live in their
clubhouses and have no association with
the people of the county. Ali went
smoothly, however, until few days ago
when the club gave dinner to the farm
ers over whose lands they hunt to hounds
and it is reported, that an open rupture
occurred because Hartman and others
dined in a separate dining-room and
some of the guests left angry.
The club is exclusive and consists OF
Mr.. Hartman, his two daughters, Miss
Katherine Elkins, daughter of Senator
Stephen B. Elkins, and four wealthy New
Yorkers. 1t costs so, 900 to join and
So, 900 year for dues. One popular
move of the club was to pay farmers for
all CHECKERS killed by foxes or other dep
relations OF these animals.
The railroad msgnate visits his hunt
club frequently during the year. He usu-
ally comes in his private car, and he and
his daughters and the other members
spend a week hunting the willy fox over
the hills and fields of Loudoun.
Two packs of thoroughbred hounds are
maintained by the club, each including
100 fine dogs. The club has a stable at
Middlebufg and one at The Plains, and
they contain some of the very finest
horses in America. A score or more OF
grooms and stableboys are employed the
year round.
The country around Middleburg is the
finest hunting ground in Virginia and
has been visited by wealthy huntsmen
from New York and elsewhere for years.
The people are all well satisfied to have
ths.club, as the $24, 900 in dues paid by
the eight members is spent there, but it
will be long time before they get over
what they consider an afront from the
club members.
