| on one OF my occasional visits 20 the
town OF Magnolia and / could not Well
miss going in to see TIT Draper and hy
the way Tit has moved his grocery
store into larger and more convenient
quarters in the Red Mems Hail. where
he IS the better prepared. TO accommo-
date his many customers and entertain
his fellow sportsmen.
The fox hunters were IN evidence and
Harry W!lcutts, master Of hounds. was
ready as ever TO tell Of the merits or
dement's Of man or hound. that is con-
cerned in the club or participate IN the
sport.
About week OF ten days ago a num-
ber OF their friends from fredericksburg,
Nd. as follows A. II. Covey, j. o. Will
liams. Frank Bradley. Raymond Charles,
Frank Spicer and Harry Carroll came
over bringing six Of their dogs, Of the
best staying qualities and early In the
morning the club started for the place
Of operation and al 1880 a. m. Reynard
was up and going and for four hours Of
continuous running with every dog pack
ing together he was run 20 earth az 1880
a. m.
The company took to their cars and re-
turned 20 Magnolia where they were roy
ally entertained at dinner by the MEM
bers Of the club. As soon as the dinner
was over they took 10 their cars and
returned to the hunting grounds and In
few minutes after arriving there an
other fox was started and by the time
the sun was lost TO view the second fox
was run TO earth.
The visitors then concluded that be-
ing forty-eight miles from home that
they would have to make their departure
and thanking the club for their enter
tainment and promising TO come again as
soon as the season opens next fan they
bade goodbye and left for their homes.
You can put this down as one Of the
finest days sport the club has ever had.
They have had several communications
from other clubs and promises TO meet
with them all during the hunting season
but they failed to materialize, but 1t re-
mains for the nearest club TO them to
fail in their appointments, they certainly
have cold feet and are afraid 20 put their
dogs In company with the Magnolia pack.
The season of hunting viii close with
this month and they hope that they viii
groom their dogs and improve their pack
so as 10 be in readiness 10 give them an
interesting run when the next hunting
season opens.
The club expects 70 improve their pack
during the closed season, not by having
any better dogs. or ones with better
staying qualities, but by ddding more in
numbers
While the past hunting season has been
excellent and the club has enjoyed many
a fine race they have had to regret that
other clubs that claimed TO have dogs
Of speed and staying qualities have held
themselves aloft from meeting with them
during the open season. The master OF
hounds, Wilcutts. says that he feels JUS
titled in speaking for every member OF
his club that the string Of the door latch
hangs on the outside and that all clubs
are cordially invited 10 meet with them
when the hunting seasons opens and
will further add that If any club or in
dividual has any running dogs bring them
along and if there is one that can and
does beat ours we certainly will not sit
down and cry. but on the contrary will /
further extend the hand Of welcome to .
