conditions for chase were anything but
favorable. the pack contest, the final
event Of the three-day field trials Of the
Montgomery County FoXhunters Asso-
citation, took place at Jacksonville today,
according to program.
Seventy-two dogs. or nine packs OF
eight dogs each. participated, and while
good running was out of the Question,
the hounds were kept out from o'clock
this morning until early afternoon. Two
foxes were started, and several short
lived chases were enjoyed, but as it was
apparent that there was no possibility
OF fox being run in or killed, the
dogs were shortly after noon called off
and the meet declared ended.
The judges decided that the pack en-
tered Jointly by John c. Bentley Of
Sandy Spring and Edmund c. Davis of
Coiesville had made the best showing,
and its owners were awarded the cash
prize, amounting to three-fOurths Of the
entry fees. and the silver cup donated by
Col. George Dunn, L. s. A., Of Washing
ton.

lion. color and beauty. a bench show was
held today, and the judges unanimously
decided in favor Of Walker. belonging
Ia George Edwards of Colesville.
In spite of poor trailing conditions yes
terday and today, the meet was regarded
great success, and there is not much
doubt that the Jacksonville neighborhood,
where foxes are plentiful and the coun-
try well suited TO the sport, will be Sc
Iected for the meet IL has already been
decided to hold next fall.

distance, expressed themselves as c.
lighted with the treatment accorded them
by the people of Jacksonville and vicin-
ity. They were shown every courtesy,
the people OF the community entered into
the spirit of the occasion and nothing
was overlooked to make the three days
