OLD HUNT CLUB
HAS INNOVATION
FOR NEXT MEETING

Thursday, October 10 and Saturday,
October u, have been selected as the
dates for the annual autumn meeting
Of the Rose Tree Fox Hunting Clup,
and as usual the races will be run over
the beautiful dumbell shaped course
near Media. Over 500 entry blanks
have been sent out and a record NUM-
Der of entries is looked for when the
lists close, October 3. These races
have gained in popularity each year
and new grand stands have been built
and thirty-two new boxes added. Tho
Rose Tree Club was organized in 1859
and for thirty-hve years these races
have drawn the pic kof hunters and
steeplechasers OF this section.
The purpose of the meet is primar-
lily for the entertainment OF the neigh
boring farmers whose lands are rid
den over in fox hunts and some of the
races are exclusively for horses owncu
by farmers and ridden by the owners
or their sons. After considerable dis
cussiOn il was decided this year 70
dcviate from the policy of former RAGS
meets of recent years and substitute Il
number of jumping classes. This will
give the farmers good opportunity
to see from the jumping performances
which members of the hunt clubs arc
responsible for the breaking of fences
during the hunting season. Ono spc-
cial feature in the first four jumping
classes will be a distinct innovation.
After completing the regulation jumps,
each rider will be requested to dis
mount and lead his horse over "A three
foot post and rail fence, the idea being
/ to test whether or not entries arc
thoroughly schOoled to meet all hunt
\ ing conditions. II is quite often neces-
sary in the hunting field to dismount
and lead owing to rough going, jump
ing down hill or into thick under-
brush.
After the jumping classes on Thurs
day there will be three races and on
Saturday six racing events are sched-
I uled.

then threw the bali into the crowd,
Booth going to second. Lewis drove

falling back OF the line. Thompson
drove one to Middleton in an effort
to get Booth Off the bag, but the run
down play failed when Thompson
threw the ball bad, allowing both
Booth and Lewis TO score.

was stopped. Dougherty declaring the
