Cheered on their way by a large and
enthusiastic gallery, the anise seed drag
pack Of the Chevy Chase Hunt, with a
large field following close on their heels
started from the Chevy Chase lake yes
terday afternoon.
Meeting at the lake, to which place the
master and Miss Moore came with the
hounds from the kennels, the usual gay
Saturday assembly of society people who
follow the sport went after the pack
down below the lake to large field on
the left of the car track. in which the
huntsman cast the hounds. After a few
minutes they had a line and were max
ing merry music with the field. steadying
their horses down the steep hill and heed
ing the huntsmans warning to 20 easily
To take off of the first fence they Jump
ed carefully and then went through the
NARROW place. took another small fence
and entered the woods on the west edge
Of the Dunlop place. Here the field be
came separated in trying to catch I'D
some going to the right, taking the big
post and rail fences. and others taking a
road in the woods, coming out at the
east corner Of the place and there joining
The other part of the field, to go down
he road at a fast galiop over the bridge
across Rock creek.
The running in the road checked the

The line easily and rapidly over the farm
OF the Ray brothers. They crossed the
It'll street pike, over a big in and out,
which failed to hang up anybody, and
slipped through the big flights of rails
on the Riley place, then back by the
same way, and over hill and dale to For
est Glen. Going down near the seminary
they entered Mr.. Moore's place. where
they took every conceivable jump from
aedse to stone wall. The riders did not

The first cropper this season.
His second horseman caught the
mount. but by the time he was again
in the saddle the field was out of sight
He cut across the country, but arrived
only as the hounds checked up.
The field took some of the biggest
Stat fences and ms and outs the coun-
try afforded, including those on the G.
Thomas Dunlop estate which theE
nearly circled, finishing at the mansion
with thirty well taken fences to their
credit.
After the finish the entire field. with
many of the occupants on the car
riageS and automobiles, took tea with
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunlop.
Among those riding were the master

thoroughbred, Miss Lana; C. H. L.
Johnston on Cornelia and J. A. c. Pal
mer on the Greyling; Capt. c. F. u

as did Miss Siddons and Mr.. Blackwood.
Miss Townsend. with an escort. while
coming only for the meet rode over u
few fields with the pack and then
watched the rest of the run. Baroness
Hengelmuller and her daughter saw
the hunt from their motor. as did Mrs.
Harlow and many others. Mr.. and Miss
Palmer followed the hunt as far as
possible. a large number of spectators
drove to near the finish, and, alighting
from their carriages and automobiles,
saw the best part of the going near the
end of the run. The going was very
good and very fast, with the scent
laying much better for the recent rains,
enabling the hounds to run fast and
well. They were practically never at
fault
The riders were much delighted with
their run. Miss Moore saying that it
was much the best of the season.
The next meet of the pack will be to-
morrow at Cabin John at 10 o'clock,
when the fox pack will be taken out.
