tlc SCcHe lHlS nOTuluS OI the ITS
cast in the annual meet of the Ma
tional Fox Hunters association
Long before the prosaic jewellers o.
the city had aroused from theil
downy pillows, the visitors and home
lovers of the sport of kings" haG
breakfasted and were well along OF
the first chase in the Derby, which
is to prove the best fox hound in the
United States.
Hunters from many states were
present at the start and followed
the roads and bride paths in sight
and hearing of the packs. Some OF
them were owners of dogs in the
chase while others were only lovers
Of the sport and were there to revel
in the music, of the voices of the
dogs. Many Maury countians were
in the large caravan of saddle horses
and automobiles carrying the specta-
tors and audience. -
The chase this morning was not
ended in time for the judges to an
nounce their decision for this edi-
ton of The Herald, but complete de-
tails will be carried in tomorrow's
report of the meet. The Derby will
be completed Tuesday evening or
Wednesday morning, and then will
begin the All-age chase, which to
many will be the most interesting.
The visitors began arriving Satur-
day and by Sunday afternoon the
lobby of the Bethel House was
crowded with men of various descrip-
lions from tho genteel, Immediately
dressed Southern gentleman to the
clean-cut, aggressive business man
of the north Arkansas and Missis
sippi planters rubbed shoulders with
business men and farmers from the
West and North.
1t was announced Sunday night
that Miss Louise herrfn Of aClarks-
dale, Miss, daughter of w. K Herrin,
