BY NINA CARTER TABB,

TT WAS cold and the ground frozen
much too hard to take hounds out
yesterday. SO Middleburg Hunt
d called off its meet.
Orange County meeting, at II o'clock
at Little Georgetown, drew down to-
ward Dave walters place and rode
around in the cold wind for a. few
miles, but did not stir fox, so every
one came ina blank day.
On Tuesday morning Orange County
Hunt met at Rectortown Station and
Piedmont Hounds met at Pierce's store,
Rectortown, at pm.
Orange County drew Mr.. ]. w. Raw
ling's farm, jumped a fox there and
ran to Oak Hill across the Mason
place, to John Rawlings farm, then to
Rectortown and on toward Delaplane.
Back by Oak Hill and lost on John
Rawlings farm after a good run OF
over an hour. They then drew the
Arthur Rawlings farm and jumped a
gray fox. Had q short run to Shelby
Carter's and killed Mrs Robert Young
got the brush, being the first woman
In at the finish.
A good many of those hunting with
Orange County came back to Rector
town, changed horses, and went out
with Piedmont Hounds.
Among those hunting with both
packs were Miss Barbara Phipps, Will
liam Phillips. Horace Moffett and Fred
Carter. Piedmont Hunt had field OF
rs out They rode from the Rector
town -Upperville road, across Mrs. John
Ramey's farm, toward Crenshaws
Cross Roads, then across Hubert
Phipps' place. Started fox and ran
straight away across that farm and
Paul Llewelyn's, crossed the Atoka-
Rectortown road and ran in circles
over RAYMOND Guests farm, then or
down into the Orange County country
over Jay Phipps' place to the Rumsey
farm.
It was such hard long run that the
master and field stopped and called
hounds in, as horses and riders were
spent and tired. There was much
laughter and fun on this hunt, as some
OF the very best riders in the country
took tumbles. Among the first to &C
of was Raymond Guest. A slip OF q
girl, Fanny Gardiner, who Is hunting
in Virginia for the first time this sea-
son, chased after Mr.. Guests horse, as
the reins were dangling on the ground
and brought him back to his rider
