again. They hunted long and thor
oughly through an open woods. Dry
twigs cracked beneath their feet
The field crossed into a meadow and
rode down beside stream. An hours
steady searching was fruitless.
WORKING over to the edge of the
w Government farm, at last q few
hounds spoke. 1t was slow going and
they could not seem to settle on the
line. t4
Things began to look up. The
others were working in to them, and
the voices came steadier and clearer
to the field, waiting in an opening be-
side the covert. Then they were gone
away" It was brilliant, swift burst
across the country for more than q
mile and into another woods. There
the tongues were stilled again. They
had lost In the dusty leaYes.
The huntsman, spirits up after q
morning Of hopeless halloaing, whip
ped straight at wire fence, popped
over and rushed down to pull the
hounds together again and try to
guide them to the line. A pail Of de-
feat settled on the riders once more.
A lead hound spoke again, but
briefly. After three hours and
half. it seemed the jig was up. Re-
signedly the masters led the field
away and turned for the long hack
back to the club house.
AS somebody said, Ten cub hunts
this season and one blank day Ut was
dry then, too). One formal hunt, as
disheartening as 10 blank days"
Oh, well, the luck Of the game.
WHILE 1t neither sought nor re-
w oeived advance publicity, DR.. H.
A. Woods private horse show must
be accounted one Of the major sue
cesses Of the season.
Only owners and members Of their
families were allowed to ride, no horse
was permitted to win more than one
blue ribbon in any Of the classes at
Woodbourne on Sunday, but 1000
people turned out to see that sort Of
thing-contrary to all theories of the
professional show circuit. There were
about 80 entries in the hack class
alone.
Carlton Eacho's Drill won 1t and
later went home with the champion
ship. It was an amateur day from tip
to toe, and we congratulate the spon-
Sor on his sagacity in 50 making 1t.
DOR the first time since 1928 Hol-
= land will send a military team
to compete in the international COM
petition held nightly during the Ma
tional Horse Show in Madison Square
Garden, November 6-12. -Four OH
GERS and their mounts are due to ar
rive in New York October 30. They
will compete against Canada, the
Irish Free State, Chile and the United
States, the latter two teams fresh
from their meeting here in Washing
ton Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
A trick feature Of the national pro.
gram this year will be q dressage ex-
hibition by Maj. Hiram e. futile, who
will use o silken thread instead Of
reins to control his horse. Wait until
Col. c. L. Scott hears about that
one! Bet he invents an even snap
pier stunt for the Inter-American
program down here this week end.
A NY ONE who has ever watched the
international jumping in Madison
Square Garden will be tempted to
pronounce slightly balmy those people
who pass up the opportunity to see
it done outdoors down here at the
Inter-American. Over an outside
course the sport is twice as great, and
II excitement runs commensurately
twice as high down here, there viii
be noises like q small riot In Rock
Creek Park all this week end. The
spectators 60 wild over it In New
York, most blase Of cities. We won't
predict what they'll do here, but we
know what the reaction should be-
terrific.
