 Card Tourney Results
 The Washington Hills dropped their first contest inthe St. Fran cis Holy Name forty-five tourna-
 ment last night but still remain in first place by the margin of one game. Mike Gogglns and his Row CTS had the honor of being the first outfit to knock off the league leaders. - r.- High score for the evening went to Les Coughlin's Buckle Shop Bucklers who swamped the Sham rocks led by, the old reliable John Fitzmaurice by a 37-26 count. MT. Fitzmaurice said that his boys
 had read the weather report be- fore going down to the hall and when they saw the prediction of snow, they figured the Shamrocks would be buried so they in turn let the Bucklers bury them. Joe Phalen and his crew made a good comeback last night and after their 36-27 win over Jimmy
 Cusick's team are now only one
 game behind the leaders, the Hills. Tom Horan and his mates won another match last night and their victims this week were Dennihan's s All Stars. The Horanmen have found their stride now and the rest of the teams will have to
 watch out because after a poor
 start last year the Boy Wonders won the tourney.
 George O'Neills team is still continuing to remain out of the cellar and last night took a 33-30 decisioin from Francis Shanna,-
 hans team. The boys are begin-
 to land in first place before they
 stop.
 Bowey's team remained in the
 running for first place honors
 with a 32-S1 win over Johnny.
 Phalen's outfit. the Phalenmen
 showed strains from that great
 battle they won last week and al-
 though they were in the lead sev-
 eral times last night they could
 not hold onto it.
 The Earbenders took it on the chin again last night despite the fact that they had Bob Sheehan in their lineup and the winner over
 hte Gaughmen this week was the
 City Yard outfit led by Jerry Shan
 nahan. The final score of the
 match was 33-30 in favor of the shovel pushers. It Is reported that

.l.O7O ON MUTUAL
 AID RELIEF ROLL
Fuel Adds to Weekly EX= pense AccOunt-Re=
 ceipts Over SS,OOO

Receipts of the week amounted to $S,100. comparing to e&pendi- lures of $9,12S, according to the report of the Mutual Aid fund submitted at the weekly meeting yesterday. The balance is now e9,204. The increase in eXpens- IS was caused by the payment of several bills and a purchase of fuel. Expenses were as follows: s6,S74 for wages; $1,144 for milk: s733 for fuel; $122 for food; S53 sor rent: and $200 for sundries.
 A total of 1,070 persons is being given work; 94 are on direct re- lief: and 37 are given food and lodging in St Johns parish house. Director William NJ. Harris denied reports that single men were un- able to obtain lodging at St Johns pr Brookside because there was no room. There is still room at both places, according to Mir Harris, but It is not desired to send inebriates to St Johns and they cannot be sent to Brookside unless they are committed by court. In the fu- .ure this policy will be employed, Mir Harris said. There will be 100 additional beds installed on the .op floor of the Brookside home.

Unanimous approval of the 1885 budget. as set up by the finance Commissioners, was voted last snight by the board of aldermen, The budget, providing for a S2- rnili tax rate and expenditures of ! $6,17S,S1S, was adopted without debate following brief caucus during which the aldermen gave their sanction to the 1885 financial slate. The appropriations for the coming year are $19.000 greater than those for 1884 but by cutting down the margin of safety be- tween estimated expenses and esti- mated revenue it was possible to make the drop of one-quarter of mill in the tax rate.
 Waterbury, apparently. has reached the peak of it's bond retire. ment expenses. In the 1885 the amount set up for bond redemp- ton is s964.O00 as compared with an item of over S1,000,000 for the current year. The interest on bonds for 1885 will be only $69S,O0O as compared with over $725.OOO tor this year. As the city plans to ask the legislature for permission to font two $5O0,000 funding bond is-

Sand-Clay Best

Warrenton on Sunday is now
a good imitation of Fifth Ave
nue. and Forty-secont. Street.
and one takes ones life in ones
hand to cross the highway in
Middleburg on horseback. And
the farmers hate these maca-
dam roads: their teams can't
stand up on them. What with
the present traffic, it's a lard
matter to get a load Of corn
to town.
The improved Sand-clay road
is the best for this section,
cheap to build, inexpensive to
maintain, fine for horses, and
adequate for motors.
The average fox-hunter is a
conservative, good citizen, and
is unusually persistent in the
prosecution Of his sport. Fox
hunting has weathered the
chestnut blight, the World War,
epidemics of mango in foxes,
distemper in the kenn> S, and
the depression. Whether it can
survive the present policies of
the government of Virginia is
extremely doubtful,

Stone w lis Go

An organized hunt kills very
few foxes in a season for the
reason that when a fox is
tired, he goes to earth, the
master calls it a day and takes
hounds home, or else finds
another. It is possible that
foxes may destroy perhaps 200
turkeys annually in the three
counties cat $500 each,
100000. Offset that against
the many hundreds of thou
sands spent by hunting people
each year. Fox hunters are
required to take out a game
license $500 resident, $3.50
NONRESIDENT but insofar as
can be ascertained, no part of
the game fund is spent for the
protection of foxes!
Regarding co: Virginia has
five-cent tax on gasoline. This
has brought in so much money
that officials don't seem to
know what to do with it. Back
roads connecting a hamlet of
40 souls with another of 80 have
been macadamized. Roads have
been widened all through the
hunting country, and the old
rail fences and stone walls torn
down and replaced (by the
State) with wire.
There are now a dozen pro-
jectS on hand for the improve
ment" of the hunting counties
to widen this road, Straighten
that one, to cut through this
mans farm, to run a highway
here, another there. The whole
hunting country is now in a
ferment.
No one wants a new highway
through his place. People have
come here to get away from
trucks and BUSES, away from
tourist camps, neon lights, hot
dog stands and filling stations.
Delegation after delegation
from this section has been to
the State Highway Commission,
in Richmond, to explain the
situation, and beg for respite.
They are heard politely, but be-
fore they get home. a new road
has been started.

RedIond Hunt Was F Formed
Before the Civil War

this subscription pack seeks to
better its own record in the
cool months to come. It is an
old but young pack.
First organized before the
Civil War, it was disban0ed
during the conflict between the
States. It takes its name from
the vast acreage known as
"Redlands," the property Of
one of its first organizers. Fol-
lowing it's disarmament its
hounds did not run again until
the 1882 season.
A policy of a limited number
of subscribers has thus far
kept the total to 80 people.
Landowners and tenants living
in the nine-mile-square area
which its hounds traverse, how.
ever, are always welcomed at
the running of the pack. There
are some $50 of these land
holders in the territory.
OF these people who ride to
hounds, no man or woman
could be more enthusiastic
about the approaching season
than those of Redland.
A few weeks, harvested crops,
glistening frost to tint the
foliage of well-Shaped coverts,
and once more a roaring pack
will run on the heels Of Red
lands Reynard.

COFFEE Pot" Coyote

The quality OF horse has i'm
proved greatly and the quality
and style of the Workmanship
has perhaps improved to a
greater extent.
Cards are sent each week to
the farmers in the country and
frequently they and members
Of their family ride with us.
In the early days Of the hunt,
one morning while the hounds
were at exercise, they almost
had an attack of D. It's when
they viewed as near a relation
to a pink elephant as our four
footed friends are entitled to
witness. Their SternS dropped
between their legs, and a tremu-
lous whimper spread through
the pack as they attempted to
hide under the legs of the
huntSman'S horse. Clankety-
clank down the road came an
old, blue-enamel coffee pot,
propelled by a young coyote
who had stuck his neck out
and into the pot for some bee
ties, or perhaps for the elusive
aroma of the coffee grounds.
The hounds were turned back,
the coyote rescued from his
coffee pot and allowed to de-
part in peace into an adjoining
covert to recover from his caf-
fem jag.

hounds. 1t became more and
more difficult for an individual
landowner to maintain q pack
of hounds, and a good many
packs had to be given up.
About 1900, a Hunt Club came
down from New York and set
tied in upper Fauquier county.
to take advantage of the longer
season than the climate Of New
York afforded.
In 1905, near Upperville. Mr..
Harry worcester Smith and
Mr.. A. Henry Higginson held q
match between American and
English foxhoundS. (Mr. Smiths
American hounds won). This
brought many visitors, and gave
wide publicity to the merits Of
this country as a foxhunting
locality. Shortly after this
match, several new Hunts were
established, and two or three
older packs were reorganized.
From this time on there has
been a steady influx of hunting
people from all parts of Amer
lea, and there are now eight
recognized packs hunting in the
three counties mentioned.
