FLYING UPSIDE DOWN

-. An example of endurance and skill
that is interesting, even if it seems to have
little practical value. was the upside down
airplane flight made recently by the Ital-
ian aviator, Lieutenant Tito Falconi, from
st. Louis to Joliet. til.
In making his inverted flight, Falconi
remained in the air hours, minutes and
80 seconds. breaking the record of hours
and 20 MINUTES held by Milo G. Burcham,
young California flyer
Faleoni declared that he could have
held ont considerably longer. except for
the TACT that one of the three straps which
held him in the plane broke, making his
position extremely uncomfortable during
the last hour of the flight, as most of his
weight was thrown on one shoulder
Airplanes carrying observers for the
American Aeronantical Association accom-
parted the flight to make the record off
cial.
To those of us who do not indulge in
such performances the stunts of flyers are
little short of amazing. How so many get
away with them without breaking their
necks is indeed marvellous

Fox Hunting Helps
u. s. CavaIrvmar

Our Cavalry of. today in recon-
naissance and battle must trans
port its personnel and fire power
across country with speed and GER
tainty. Men and Cavalry weapons
(rifle, machine guns, antitank
guns, and 81 nm. guns) must fire.
quently be moved on the battle
field at the gallop up and down
hill, through wood, across bitches,
fences, streams and shell holes in
order to attack with this tremen-
dous fire at critical times and
places. The ability to execute
movements Of this nature consti-
tutes what is termed "battlefield
mobility" and the well bred, well
trained horse and bold, skillful
rider possess this essential Cavalry
characteristic to a degree not yet
equaled by any mechanical means
In almost every respect the re-
quirements for training the mill
tary horse and rider for such cross
country work are similar to those
for the horse and rider in fox
hunting. Many Of the leading
nations Of the world, the United
States included. so we'll recognize
this fact that officers and enlisted
men in their cavalry units at cav
airy schools are not only encour-
aged but are required to ride
to hounds as part of their regular
instruction.
For well we know that the fierc-
est fight,
Mid the crashing shell and the
crumpled wing,
was led by men Of the Old First
Flight,
Who rode till dark in the Sport

Scarlet Coat Origin
AS Hunt Emblem
Is Unknown

The origin of the scarlet
or pink coat as an emblem of
the sport Of Riding to the
Hounds is not known.
Many writer's diligently have
searched the works of all
sporting historians, but fail
ure to discover the answer to
this perplexing question
frOwned on them. There is q
legend which says that King
Henry III ordered those who
rode the bounds to wear pink
coats and that they should
be taxed accordingly as Of
the Weather class. However,
this story has been pro-
nOunced absurd. 1t is known
that the pink dinner coat
was introduced by the Mel.
tOnian dandies of the English
Shires who diSliked the
custom of dining after a hard
run in sOiled pink riding
coats and who, therefor,
changed to pink evening
coats before sitting down to
dinner.

Beaufort Houn
Trace Beginning
Back to 1850

In 1760 an Englishman, b
name James Wallace, from Glou
cestershire, home Of the Duke Of
Beaufort, surveyed a tract Of land
near Harrisburg, Pa, which he
called Beaufort"
In 1875 a patent for this tract
was granted to John Elder, the
famous fighting baron" from
Paxtang.
In 1929, when it was decided to
organize a Hunt near Harrisburg,
Mr.. Ehrman B. Mitchell, ESQ. (the
present Master), was chosen to be
M. F. H. Because the estate has
been in Mr.. Mitchells family
since 1870. it was decided to adopt
the name Beaufort" for the
Hunt, especially since it is such
an illustrious name in the annals
Of Fox Hunting.
The colors of the Hunt are SINH
lar to those of the English Hunt,
of the same name, the turnout be.
ing blue with buff trimmings.
The pack of hounds are cross
breds with some pure Americans,
these being Walkers. The season
opened September 16, with fix
lures every Wednesday and Satur-
day and occasional bye days. Ere
quent drag hunts are held, on
Saturdays, while the fox is hunted
Wednesday.
Fields vary from eight to 80,
averaging around 25.
Hunting conditions are much
more propitious this year, since
the turf is not dry and parched
like last season, consequently
scent will carry better and horses
will not have such hard ground to,
contend with. It will also be
easier on those who Unexpectedly
come-a-cropper
It is planned to have a weeks
hunt on the new artillery reServa-
ton near Manada Gap. This Is
ideal hunting country, being farm
land which is no longer under the
plow, with plenty of covets with
abundant foxes.
Honorary secretary is Mr.. R. B.
Gerhardt, and honorary whip
pers-in are Mr.. Farley Gannett
and Mr.. Edwin S. Rockefeller.
Mr.. Paul r. Gable and DR.. George
R. Moffett are joint field mas.
ters, since the master hunts his
own hounds. Mr.. Frederic G.
Morgan is field secretary.
The Washington times., 1933-09-20

Those who have never had the
fortunate opportunity of fox
hunting might consider this sport
as purely an idle amusement,
leading to nothing but a few
hours of fun. In reality, this
pasttime tends to form the finest
qualities required in the training
of the young student.
One Of the greatest Of these is
the development of courage,
which in fox hunting is exempli-
fled by the horseman's will to
overcome difficult and dangerous
obstacles. This, qualified by sane
judgment, forms a valuable ad-
junct to any form Of education.
Since a major portion of every
PERSONS training for life should
teach him to "give and take, 2"
in this respect the rigidity Of fox
hunting rules with regard to
etiquette and manners in the
field, politeness to strangers and
friends, self control, and a mu-
tual love of the chase furnishes
a firm foundation. AS well as
this feeling Of good fellowship in
the field is the intense pride and
love Of fox hunter for the GAL
liant animal that carries him. He
knows that his care, thoughtful
ness and kindness toward his
horse will result in increased
thrills and an abundance Of
pleasure in his days sport. This
idea Of training and conditioning
his horse will foster in his own
mind the desire for personal fit

From the clubbing to date, in

While there has been no de-
crease in enthusiasm among our
members, we have had some res

due to the conditions Of the
times, but for the most part,
these memberships have been re-
placed from the waiting list.
We have the same huntsman

and our First Whipper-in has
been with us for IS years.
The huntsman's daughter is

Kennel huntsman, George Leave1
has been in our employ some
eight years. We are. therefore
starting the season with a well
reasoned outfit.

Virginia Hunters
Meet This Fall
In Louisa

The Virginia Fox Hunters AS
sociation will hold its annual
hunt this fall in Louisa county,
in the Green Springs Valley.
This is a departure from the
practice heretofore followed in
that they will not 60 to some
city in the state and attempt
to hunt the country some miles
distant but will go to a country
where riding conditions are ideal
and where red foxes are album
dant.
The Green Springs section Is
largely open country, mostly in
blue grass pastures. The fields
are large, scenting conditions
superior and the best opportuni-
ties should be present for the
judges to see the dogs work.
Brackets, the home of Carl H.
Noting, chairman of the Virginia
Commission Of Game and Inland
Fisheries, will be the focal point
and the Monticello Hotel. at
Charlottesville, will be the official
headquarters.
Kennels for 200 dogs will be
provided at Brackets and stalls
for 100 horses there and in the
immediate neighborhood. Chair
man Carl H. Noting Is intensely
interested in fostering and in
creasing the wild life in Virginia
and feels that the fox hunting
interests should receive the sup
port Of the commission to the
U. s. Bureau of Biological survey.

Bet Over Colts
Origin Of Va.
Horse Show
By JULIAN MORRIS
Former NJ. F. H., KssIOick Hunt
and Noted Sportsman Of In
ternational Fame

Former NJ. F. H., KssIVick Hunt
and Noted Sportsman Of In
ternational Fame
A bet settled by Col. Richard
Dulany in 1855 at Upperville, Va,
Is. the real origin Of the Horse
Show in Virginia, and from o
seemingly trivial incident has
grown an institution that an
nually claims the attention Of
thousands.
The horse show originated here
in unique way. One day Colonel
Dulany. who owned nine farms
around Upperville, drove to town
for his mail. One Of his man.
ayers approached and told him
he had a bet of $40 with a friend
as to which had the better colt
that year and would like the
Colonel to settle the argument.
Hundreds Gathered
The old gentleman baked at
first, but when told the money
would be given to the Church,
agreed to settle the dis
pute the following Saturday.
When he reached Upperville at
the appointed time he was sur
prised to find several hundred per-
sons gathered for the event. After
the Colonel had given his de-
cision, he turned around and said:
"If this many people will
come out to see two colts
judged we should have a colt
show"
From this beginning sprang the
Upperville Colt and Horse Show,
and it's first program was held IN
1887. With the exception Of two
years during the Civil War it has
been staged every year since.
which makes it the Oldest show OF
it's type in the world.
Our horse show was held at
the Madison Square Garden IN
1888. and the Garden continued
to be it's home for almost 40
years. Back IS years ago, when q
very high class hunter was led
out for exhibition. the highest
compliment we could pay him
was to say:
"Hero is one good enough
for the Garden"
In 1895 I exhibited five or six
hunters at the Garden and they
were the first fox hunters ever
shown there. I did not win a
first but captured several seconds
and thirds, and made up my
mind I would come back some
time and win with Virginia hunt
ers.
In 1905 I returned and my
horse Keswick won four blues
and the lightweight champion
ship, the first hunter to do this
in % years of the show.
In 1910, at the International
Horse Show at Olympia, England,
7 won three out Of five qualified
hunter classes with four Of my
horses. one Of them-David
Gray-won the world cham
pionship for that year.
