Hunting was rather at a standstill
the past week end on account of frozen
ground. Blue Ridge Hounds went out
meeting at Clay Hill, but it was much
too cold and windy for scenting con-
ditions so the field came in after riding
around bit. When Blue Ridge
Hounds met at Carter Hall, the home
OF Gerard B, Lambert. recently they
had one of the best runs of the season
Drawing the Carter Hall estate. which
was blank, they rode to Barnaby
Ridge, started fox there that gave
them a short run; lifted hounds and
drew Fox Springs Woods, jumped the
second fox in the Meade's Meadow and
started of for the best, longest and
most thrilling run of the season
through the John Paynes' place they
went. then to Phillips place, skirted
Lands End and on to Springsbury,
from there to Woodley, then through
George Burwell's farm, Mount Airy.
They had been running for over three
hours. with only short check all that
time. 1t was getting toward dark and
