an attraction that brought back memories
Of the field BY the time the foxhounds
we're led into view the main ring was lined
several deep with fanclers, and the vantage
points in the galleries also were occupied.
Only two packs were shown in this class,
the Middlesex Foxhounds, Of South Lincoln.
Mass, and Major w. i. Wadsworth's
hounds, from Genesee, n. Y. DR.. f. Les
ter Jones did the judging.
The Middlesex Hounds are owned by A.
Henry Higginson, whose huntsman and
whipper-in were attired in the familiar
pink" coats The Genesee men wore more
subdued colors. When the rival packs were
brought In they were placed in separate
pens at opposite ends of the ring. From

possessed trihe the better fronts. In fact,
both packs were types Of the exaggerated
English fronts so different from the Amer

in front. but lighter. Jones gave the blue
to the Middlesex pack leaving the reserve
for Major Wadsworth's dogs.
