Friday, 18th inst, the Green Spring Valley
Club had meet at the Manor. After hunting
over our beautiful fertile hills and valleys for
sly Reynard, with one accord at 1890 P. NJ.
they wendell their way to the Guild Hall for
luncheon, which the committee in charge had
prepared upon request. The guests were very
liberal and courteous to the committee in
charge, who doubtless hope, if the Guild should
give another oyster supper in the future, the
gallant hunters and fair huntresses may be
among their guests. Their fine horses were
left inside the rectory grounds while their
owners were at lunch. Later they changed
their horses for fresh ones and as the calvacade,
headed by the baying hounds, swept out on
the road, with the rays of the midday sun
lighting up the scene and the red coats adding
a touch of color. formed a beautiful picture

mother earth for moulding or back ground.
