II will DO seen that there are In the
United States but thirty-iive recognize !
hunts. eleven OF which are located IN
Virginia, eight in Pennsylvania, lour ~
MARYLAND, five In Massachusetts, hve IN
New Jersey. three in New York and one
in South Carolina. OF these, Middlesex
belongs both to Virginia and Massachu-
sctts, and Orange County Club Is regis
tered bothain New York and virginia. ~
viii be seen. therefore. that Virginia has
more recognized hunt clubs than any other
State in the Union.
IN addition there are the following or
,{ot, to, mi hpcN
recognized, but which hunt regularly:
The Mecklenburg Pack. OF Mecklenburg
county; Colonel Hughes NJ. F. n. The
Boydton Pack, OF Boydton. Va; Mr.. Ed
win overly M. r. IT. Tho TomahawK
Pack, OF Orange, Va: Mr.. Wallace san
! ford, NJ. f. II. The Blue Run Pack, OF
Somerset Va; Mr.. Dupont. NJ. +, "a.
| The Charlottesville Pack. OF charlottes-
vile, Va: Mr.. Cary Rufiln Randolph,
master The staunton Pack, OF staun-
ton, Va: the Bull Run Pack. OF Manas-
sas. Va: the Middleburg Pack. Of Middle
burg Va; Mr. Percy Evans. NJ. L. II.
The Virginia Carolina Fox Hunters AS
ISOLATION, of Chase City, Va: the Lynch
burg Pack. Lynchburg, Va: the Front
Royal Pack. Front Royal. Va, besides
many other small private packs,
This would show that Virginia has cleV-
en- we'll organized hunts. outside OF the
recognized ones. making total OF TWEEN
ty-two regular hunt clubs. or about as
many as all the rest OF the country COM
bined. It Is n matter OF regret that such
being the case, oil the hunt clubs do not
secure recognition and dominate the hunt
ing policy OF the country.
Virginia, with its many hunts, has no
voice in the management Of affairs, CIV
Ing way entirely tc New York, with its
three hunts, and to Pennsylvania, with
its eight. 1t is the duty OF the Virginia
masters to meet and make a combined
effort for recognition on the board OF
stewards OF the National Stceplechase and
Hunt Association. which IS now COM
posed entirely OF men from the North.
