Her father, the late Percy

hunting here. Middleburg met

at 12, and Piedmont at the Ken
nelS at / o'clock. A great many
gathered at each hunt, as
there are many people in the
country who came down for the
Hunters Trials Saturday and
STAYED over to hunt Monday.
Daniel c. Sands, Master OF
Middleburg Hunt, Is certainly
to be congratulated on the good
day of events he pulled off on
Saturday. This great master OF
fox hounds rode slowly around
on his large chestnut horse on
Saturday, and you would not
have known that he was re-
sponsible for the pleasure every
one was having.
think it was the best day
the Hunter Trials have had any
year yet. There were more
riders and it could not have
been better managed, and car
ried out than in the way Dan
Sands did it.

ing at McManns at noon, had

thing happened. They treed a
fox.
The fox, hear, ran up this
perfectly straight tree, to

looked down upon the crowd;
as he had given them a good
run, the field agreed not to
shake him down, but all went
home, leaving Mr., Fox "un a
tree"
