ifty of our young ladies and men, girls
md boys, went out to the old Troupe
place, about mile and half from town,
where they met Mr.. D. A. Horton with his
bounds and the captive fox, to enjoy a
OK chase. At 8:2O the sly reynard was
liberated. He dashed away like an elec-
;ric streak and was urged on to safety by
he anxious mouthing of the hounds that
chance for his life. After few minutes
wait the dogs were unleashed and went
bounding in pursuit. Owing to some
noisy school boys with fire crackers, the
dogs became confused, and it was an hour
before the hounds got straight, They kept
up lively gait and pretty noise until
eleven o'clock, when old Rock (our famous
deer dog), leading the pack, pressed Mr..
Reynard to seek safety in the trees.
Lorick Horton and Jimmie Sandidge, who
were mounted and following the pack,
made him jump from his refuge twice, and
the dogs soon caught and dispatched the
sly fox. Although minus the ready prey,
we expect to have other races, as there are
plonty more hereabouts.
