Plenty of galloping and jump

of jumping. 1t may be said
that most of the subscribers
take part in both fox hunt and

Famous Contest

The Northerners, and many
VirginianS, over whose lands
they had the privilege to ride,
enjoyed the hunting in those
days. Then word being noised
abroad about the sport, and our
good hunting country, in the
spring of 1905 there was another
big excitement in our then quiet
Virginia.
A. Henry Higginson, master Of
the Middlesex Hunt in Massa-
chuSetts, wrote an article and
published it, saying the English
fox hound is the only kind to
ride to-"
Harry Worcester Smith, Mas
ter of the Grafton Hunt, also
in Massachusetts,, challenged Mr..
Higginson, contending that the
American hound was better.
These two gentlemen decided to
have a match, each putting up
$1,000, the whole to go to the
winner. They thought this part
Of Virginia, considered the best
fox hunting country of America,
the place to have the match.
The American hound is a
hardy, fast hound. The English
hound is larger, prettier, and
showers That spring, sportSmen
from Massachusetts,, New York
and Canada began coming down
and driving all over our country,
with horse and buggy, or cart.
They seemed well satisfied and
got permission to hunt over the
country during the fall season.
Those were gay times. All dur.
ing the summer different people
would come to Virginia, and
very charming people they were.
We received them with open
arms, for we liked them. They
rented furnished houses, and in
the season the sport began.
Harry Smith, with his energy
and enthusiasm, had us all in
terested and excited We would
get up in the middle of the
night, it seemed, and ride for
miles in the dark to Meets
held at daybreak, to see his
American hounds, or Mr.. Hig-
ginson's English hounds, start
off. That season was very dry,
which was the reason they went
out so very early.
The American hounds finally
won, and our fox hunting
friends departed, but I think

that all who were here that
season came back at one time
or another. Many bought
places here, and still continue
to come.

Never will I forget the thrill
OF the first fox viewed" Away
we went!
Long before Piedmont's day,
every gentleman and farm
boosted Of their several hounds,
which they would collect to-
gether by sending messages or
by the blowing of their horns.
Any man having hounds, or
wanting to hunt, when he heard
the sweet notes of the old COW
horn, would drop what he was
doing, get horse and hounds,
and join his friends. But, if
it happened he could not join
them that day, the hounds
would be let loose to join the
others and soon they would have
a good7Sized pack, and always a
good days sport, for these old
timers knew how to pick a good
seeming day.
From anywhere between the
Blue Ridge to the Bull Run
Mountains they would run.

been raised on the stories of
these marvellous hunts. Ger.

Middleburg Formed

Blue Ridge Hunt, lover the
mountain" from us, has had a
pack of hounds for a long time,
as has had the Warreaton Hunt.
But in the days before automo.
bileS, this was too long a jour-
ney, except occasionally, and
then only by the very ambitious.
In 1900 there was a great com.
motion in our country. We
heard that the Orange County
Hunt (from New York;, headed
by Mr.. E. H. Hartman, wanted
to come to Virginia to fox hunt,
as they had such a short season
in the North, due to cold
weather.
Orange County Hunt arrived
and was received with the usual
hospitality of the South. They
made their headquarters at The
Plains, and arranged to use the
good pack Of hounds which
William Skinker, one of our best
hound-men OF Virginia, had roll
1ected for his own Use and that
of his friends.
A club house was built at
The Plains and the crowd who
came down to hunt grew larger
and larger. They then wanted
to spread out, and as the coun-
try between The Plains and
Middleburg was not territory of
an organized hunt, the Orange
county started another pack,
calling it the Middleburg Hunt.

IN CALLED VIRGINIANS TO HUNT LONG BE
BY JAMES w. APPLETON
M. F. H., Myopi1 Hunt Club,
Hamilton, Mass.

Myopia Hunt Club was a pic.
neer in organized hunting in
New England. The club, founded
a few years earlier, began in
1881 it's activities as a fox-hunt-
ing organization in it's present
location. A few years later a
pack of diversified beagles was
imported and soon, owing to the
difficulties Of hunting the fox
in this country, fox hunting was
discontinued.
During the next few decades
the country was greatly i'm
proved and opened up by the
cutting of rides through the
large woodlands, making the
whole country rideable and, in
1911 when I became Master
hunting was renewed and has
since been carried on with good
fields, sometimes on holidays as
many as 100 turning out.
The country was originally
fenced entirely by stone walls.
To certain extent the old walls

say:
what can the new Master
do for fox hunting here?"
He was criticized "a way we
have with newcomers but he
withstood all difficulties and
criticism, and slowly, but surely,
built up fox hunting. Today
he is one of the best riders,
and one of the most popular
and beloved citizens of Virginia.
