The eighth annual field trials of the
Maryland Fox Hunters Association were
held last week at Soldiers Delight. near Ow-
ings Mills, Md. The course was in excellent
shape for the fox hunt with it's natural
barriers and the weather was ideal.
An unusual incident started the day s
events. When the signal was given the
hounds Immediately struck the scent Of
the fox and began as evenly a matched
race as hunt followers have seen on Mary
land fields.
The fox, after being chased five miles
up the country to the North Branch river.
stopped on the bank Of the stream. After
debating whether to redouble its flight or
take to the stream finally decided on the
latter course and jumped into the water
to swim to the opposite bank. When the
riders came to the scene the fox was swim
ming the stream with the hounds in close
pursuit
Honors for the best pack of hounds went
to Walter johnson. former star pitcher of
the Washington Senators. and Joe Engle.
The judges were : Miss Alberta Brice.
Lewis Mannion. Clarence L. Gilpin and
Paul Smith. The summary:
