SYoSSET, n. Y, September IL
For three and half hours today the
Prince of Wales rode to hounds, hold
ing firm seat on a white horse
which carried him over 12 rail fences,
took him over a score of bitches
and over many miles of Long Island
fields.
1t was all very jolly-a tremen-
dous success-his highness affirmed at
the close, although no fox had been
brought in. Standing on the porch
of his holiday home at the James A.
Burden house, he removed his black
bowler, gave his sweating face and
brow vigorous mopping, and as
sured Capt. A. F. Lascelles that he
had enjoyed himself thoroughly.

Brook Hunt Club, started at $50
o'clock, at which hour 80 men and
women Respondent in the traditional

The winding OF the huntsman's horn
aroused the prince. who soon ap-
peared on the scene with Capt
Lascelles. His highn"ss wore IL
khaki riding habit anu a gay yellow
sweater
1t was lively party, although all
members of it had danced late into
the night at the Jericho home of
Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Cd, where the
prince was guest of honor Ghost, a
handsome white hunter belonging to
Harvey Ladew, was led out for the
prince. He mounted, the master of
hounds wound his horn and they were
of.
Prince Smiles At Sport.
The flashing red of the hunters, the
gliding thoroughbreds. the baying of
the eager hounds unleashed, the dash
through underbrush and timber,
whose dew-laden leaves glittered and
flashed in the sun, brought a smile
to the princes lips. He remarked to
u member OF the party that it all was
very similar to cub hunting, as the
September sport is called, in his
homeland. lie was impressed with
the we'll trained animals and the
ability of the hunters TO jump timber
only once did Ghost disappoint his
rider This was when he refused a
try at fence just after he had
SKINNED gracefully over another par
ticularly high one. The royal rider
urged his mount for a moment but
when the horse continued to hesitate
the prince directed him around the

Despite his early rising and his
strenuous exercising the Prince was
out again after tub. rundown and
a light meal. He drove over to the

Whirled into another of his beloved
games of polo.
