to sport that is really just teething
in modern America.
GENERAL impressions gained from
talking with various hunt Of
ficials about Virginia and Maryland:
Some of the M. F. HIS balk at the
idea Of tagging point-to- point courses
even in general way. They think
flags or made" courses will en-
courage people to keep bad, or hot
headed. hunters merely for the pur-
pose of winning point-to-point races.
That would be pity. and an adul-
teration Of the purpose of the sport.
But why not get around it by re-
quiring all starters to have been
hunted at least s, maybe 10, times
by the owner during the season before
the springs racing?
Another cry against tagging: It
would bring lot of strange or alien
horses into a hunts private races.
Well, aren't all entries either ac-
ceptable to the committee or not
acceptable? Certainly the matter may
be controlled under that clause. They
also say that when you put up flags
you have to put out patrols to watch
every inch Of the miles. All right,
why not just put up the flags and
say 'This Is the direct line. Stick
with or near the flags and you'll get
home the straightest way. Go on the
left or the right of them, jump what
ever panels YOU like, but the flags
will guide you along the best route"
That way your visitor would
have an even chance with your
home hunter, and, after all,
isn't the purpose Of racing to
prove who has the best horse?
About that matter of making light
weights carry not less than 1855 pounds,
middle-weights not less than 1876,
heavy-weights not less than 200, some
comment has been made to the effect
that it will be too much trouble to
make up the weight differences with
pads and lead In case a light rider
has the mount on a horse.
Oh, well, If that's too much trouble,
why bother to get a horse fit ut all?
Why bother with getting q pair of
boots on to 60 hunting? Why bother
to feed horse? Why bother?
The purpose Of even weighing Is
to provide true sport. and what can
b too much trouble to tuldu that.

ACCCAG ouIVcy OOWH III virginia ana
Maryland shows that the various out
fits are lining up very much as they
did in 1887, and presume they will
do it the same way in future years.
The Middleburg Hunt, for example,
had its four point-to-point races
(outgrowth of the old hunter trials)
on March 20 last year. This year, ac-
cording to Daniel c. Sands, the M. F..
H., the meet will be on March 10.
Warrenton Hunt last year ran its two
hunter races week before Middle
burg, and If this calendar is followed
out again currently, that will mean
that horses should be ready to 60 at
Warrenton on March ~.
The Redland Hunt, in Mary
land, which followed Middle
burg by a week last season, def
nitely will do So again this year,
it has been announced by
Thomas T. Mott, M. F. H.
The meet in nearby Montgomery
County therefore will be held on
March rs.
Orange County Hunt, which has
almost invariably held its point-to-
point on the first Saturday in April,
probably will do so again, according
to Robert B. Young, secretary Of
the meet Of 1887.
ONE Of the more interesting ques-
tions before the house is, What
will the Riding and Hunt Club do
about point-to-points?" That Or
ganization has for years held hunter
trials in nearby Maryland.
It could follow the example Of Mid
dleburg and convert these trials into
the much more exciting and true
testing cross-country races, or it could
hold both.
Last year Riding and Hunt expert
mented with single point-to-point
race for members only. This year we
hope to see the hunt expand that
activity, either to embrace the old
hunter trials, or to stand as q sepa-
rate and open meet of several races.
While looking for dates, the
Hunt Committee might consider
the possibility Of opening the
season with . meet on March 5,
Or following Orange County
with = session on April 8.
Above all, in my opinion, the hunts
should attempt to avoid conflict Of
meetings, which cannot be helpful

1t Should Be Printed.

Full many flower, says the poet, is
born to blush unseen and waste it's fra
GRANGE on the desert air. So let it not
be with the fine report on District health
conditions which has recently been COM
pleted by the U. S. Public Health Service.
The Health Committee of the Coun-
Gil of Social Agencies is to be commended
for its resolve to exert every effort to
have copies of the survey printed for
public edification.
Great things were expected of this
survey, undertaken last December by
the competent and impartial experts in
the Federal department in response to
q request by Commissioner Allen, but of
what avail are the findings if they are
limited to the files of few officials?
DR.. Oleson of the Health Service has
pointed out that no funds are available
in his department to publish the sur
vey, but some other methods may be
found by this enterprising committee to
put this comprehensive document before
tho public.
Public health is "purchasable." An
authoritative catalogue of needs is not
. bad initial investment.
