-HE Riding and Hunt Club
Hounds. at Bradley Farms,
Bethesda, Md. is the nearest
i and most convenient pack to
Washington, and it always has good
fields" In spite of the bad weather
and treacherous ground of the past
weeks, these hounds have been able
to 90 out regularly, on Tuesdays and
Saturdays. On last Tuesday meeting
at Travillah, they drew Roger Phelps
covert, hit a cold trail which carried
hounds over to George ESWorthy's.
Here they started fox and ran him
to Jamestown road, onto Frank ES-
worthy's place. and from there across
the Charles WEIGH farm. where he
turned, making a complete circuit of
the original course. It vas almost
like a drag, as he ran this line twice,
and was put to ground on the George
Esworthy farm where he started. This
was a good fast run and lasted for an
hour and 40 minutes. For at least half
of the time the fox was viewed" by
the field" which always makes run
exciting. Among those out besides
the master, DR.. Fred R. Sanderson,
were DR.. James Greear. jr..; DR.. and
Mrs. Robert Moran. Mrs. L. T. Hundt,
Miss Elizabeth Jackson, Mrs. Roland
Riddick, Miss Betty Couzens, daugh-
ter OF Senator Couzens; Miss Marga-
ret Cotter, Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall
Exnicios, Mrs. William Hill Miss Mar
garet Hill, Mr. George Walker, Comdr.
Justice Lee and DR.. Joseph Horgan.
CThe latter is brother of DR.. Ed
mund Horgan, who is master of Cob
bier Hounds, near Delaplane, Va
DR.. Fred Sanderson, master of Rid.
ing and Hunt Club, was seen at the
Chevy Chase Club on Saturday night,
dancing with his lovely wife. They
were attending party given them,
celebrating their fourteenth wedding
anniversary.
Riding and Hunt Club hounds met
on last Saturday at Mr.. Cranford's

poor, and although there was no run
to speak Of, there were several short
bursts, when hounds gave tongue.
After q good ride and most enjoy
able afternoon, the field" went to
Locust Hill Farm, the charming home
of Lieut.. Comdr and Mrs. Justice
Lee on the Rockville Pike where tea
was served. Those who had been
hunting were joined by many Of the
other members of the hunt and every
one had q jolly time. Out hunting
that day besides the master were
Claude Owen and Bobby Robey, acting
as whips; Mrs. L. T. Hundt. Miss
Elizabeth jackson, Mrs. Marshall Ex-
nicios, Mrs Roland Riddick. Miss Mil
dred Stamp, Miss Betty Couzens.
Messrs. Harry Semmes. George Walker,
Fenton Fadely. James Highes. William
Hanson, DR.. James Greear. Dr. Joseph
Horgan and Lieut. Comdr. Justice Lee.
One of the interesting things about
this hunt is. that among its members
are so many eminent physicians that
1t is jokingly called the surgeons hunt.
The comfortable feeling of having doc
tors Immediately available. may have
accounted for Fenton Fadely's and
Bobby Robey's reckless crossing of
frozen creeks on New Year day.
Both Of these well known show ring
riders crashed through-and Fenton
completely disappeared under ice and
water. Neither was hurt. Another
popular young doctor from Washing
ton, who is planning to hunt with
this pack as soon as he gets booted"
is DR.. Charles Houze. He will be q
great addition to the field" and in
hunting circles and his many friends
are looking forward to having him
with them.

dleburg entertained at luncheon on
Sunday. Among their guests were
Mr.. and Mrs. Houghton Metcalf, Mr..
and Mrs. Stacy Lloyd, Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur White, Mr.. and Mrs. William
