SMYRNA FOX CLUB ENJOYS FINE HUNT
Wednesday. Thursday and Friday Morn
ings Down in ThOrOughfare Neck.

The Smyrna Fox Club, John G.
Blizzard President, had another one
of their three days outing last week in
which some fine sport was experienced.
The party with a pack of % or 80
hounds rendeZvoused at the farm of
William Armstrong near town last
Wednesday morning. The hour for
moving IF was five o'clock. Some
went horse back and others went in
their teams. Wednesday, the first day,
was spent in ThorOughfare Neck.
They succeeded in getting up one fox
but rather poor chase was reported.
Thursday morning the party rendez
voused again about the same hour and
went down in the vicinity of eagles
Nest" where they jumped a fox.
Shortly after that they jumped an
other and the chase was on in force.
The hounds were excited and the air
fairly rang with their music. One fox
was sighted several times and some
| great sport was had in chasing 1t back
and forth through Gardner's Woods.
Finally the fox was hOled and the
chase was called off. Friday morning
the spOrtsmen, despite the two pre-
vious days excitement, were up early
again and after meeting at Will Arm
strOng's started ont upon the final
days hunt. This time they went to
the vicinity of the "Shaddon Point
Farm" where in short time they got
up with two more foxes. The excite
ment was intense and for fully an hour
and a quarter it was a continuous
chase. Those who were able to keep
up with the pace saw some fine work
from the hounds, there being thirty.
five or more in the pack. ''Fleet," the
hound of Will Armstrong, and the
hounds of John G. Blizzard attracted
the most attention. At the close of the
cross country run "Fleet" was at the
fox's heels most of the time until
finally when the fox upon reaching the
road leading from Sam Derrickson's tc
Gardeners Woods, was jumped upon by
the hounds and killed. The three
days hunt was a decided success.
Among those who participated were
Congressman Hiram r. Burton, o
Lewes; DIR. p. w. Tomlinson, Will
mington; W. W. Richardson and J
Frank Startling, of Dover; Nathanie
f. Grow and J. E. Baker, Philadel
