Montgomery Hills.

Walter r. Tuckerman, master Of fox
hounds Of the Riding and Hunt Club,
led a small field of riders behind the
clubs two packs of hounds On a FIVE
mile drag hunt across the Montgomery

of the hardest riders of the whole
company was little James Devereux, son
Of DR.. Ryan Devereux, astride his little
black pony, Dynamite.
Dynamite hugged close to Lady Jane.
the big steed Of Mr.. Tuckerman. and
took all the fences and water jumps, the
hills, and the hollows. The course
started at Mr.. Tuckerman's residence at
Edgewood, turned north to the George
town pike, then west through a strip of
woods and south to the old Goldsbor-
ough farm. From there the drag hunt
went east again to BILLY Hibbs' place,
near Edgewood.
In addition to James Devereux and his
Dynamite, John Devereux, his brother,
rode a white cob over the course. The
inclement Gather Of the morning kent
many Of the riders away, but the Dew
ereux boys were the life of the after
noon. Another drag hunt will be held
next Wednesday.
