DIG FOR FOX
REWARD MAKES HOLE AFTER
Z AN EXCITING RUN.
Eludes Pursuers at Chevy Chase in
Flight Over Pasture and
Through Woodland.

Chevy Chase hunters enjoyed their holi-
day yesterday by chasing a fox over the
country around Cabin John bridge. After
an exciting run the fox made his hole.
and the huntsmen, chagrined at losing
after such a long ride, dug him out for
the pack.
A large field rode out yesterday. The
master of the hounds rode Lord Craven,
and all his men were mounted on heavy
weight hunters. Mr.. Knut rode Twilight.
Miss Moore Miss Bell and Miss Merriam
were out, as were also Capts. Sowerby,
Philips and Fortesque The fixture was
at Cabin John bridge, in the best of fox.
country.
Near the historic bridge the cast was
made in a big covert to the north. The
pack started fox before they had time
to draw in. Reynard. seemed to be
traveller and manfully took to the open.
Those who viewed him expected long
chase After passing the old mine the
line lay toward the Falls. The field kept
well up, although needing the caution
of the MASTER that the fox appeared TO
be a runner, who would put up a strong
chase.
Mud Ankle Deep.
Doubling near the Falls, the fox turned
left-handed and then headed toward Po-
tomac post Office. Here the line lay
through rough country and ankle-deep
mud. But the field kept close to the
hounds, who were screaming after their
quarry.
Pasture, plowed land and woodland
flew by as if in a panorama. Reynard
dashed into coverts but was forced out
again before he could find a haven. His
doubling was of no avail. as the pack
wss at his heels and the scent was good:
Turning to the north the fox crossed
the open country between the river and
the heavy pines Pack and field gained
on him steadily. while the fox, weighed
with mud and dragging his tail, turned
right-handed and made for his hole,
where he forced the huntsmen to dig.
