The Travellers Notebook
Riding the Hounds Is No Sport for Sissy;
Geese Plentiful as North Caroline Seoson Opens;
Florida Resorts Expect Record November

On a formal fox hunt you don't
hunt with dOgs--you hunt with
hounds. And the costume you see
hunters wear Is not a costume, it's
livery.
And you'd better be mighty care
full how you say all these things, for
no sport Is more conventionalized
and disciplined than a formal fox
hunt, as any novice will quickly find
out If he rides with a real hunt.
Riding spirited horses behind
hounds through fields, woods, over
fences, bitches after cunning fur
bearer is no sport for a sissy. The
rules and regulations are designed
for good order and for mutual pleas
ure and woe betide the hunter who
fails to observe all the etiquette.
Sedgefeld, N. c., is a semiformal
hunt. The staff and quite few
other members always wear livery,
but there are also quite a few OF
the members who wear rat-catcher
garb. Hunting formalities are well
observed and Sedgef1eld hounds are
whip trained pack.
Early of morning the hunters
gather at the place of the meet"
This may be at the stable or at some
members farm, or at some desig-
mated point within the hunting area.
The NTH master of hounds
Sedgefield has joint masters-con-
fer with the huntsman and instruct
him as to the place of the cast"
They also caution the members on
riding carelessly over the fields of
farmers and landowners. The
huntsman-the professional in the
ahead with his hounds
and two whippers-in just to the
rear. The masters follow at a re-
spectacle distance - giving the
sufficient distance ahead
to handle the hounds and enable
him to hear readily after hounds
are cast. The field" brings up the
rear.
Hounds, upon being cast, busily
hunt for the familiar fox scent and
once they find it and straighten out
the line, the chase Is on.
'Tallyho" was reputedly the Eng
fish cry when a hunter sighted a
fox, but the usual American signal
when hounds are once on the line
Is Gone away!"
Sedgef1eld hunts twice each week.
There are many hunt breakfasts
some given by the hunt and others
given by members who wish to en-
terrain. incidentally. a hunt break
fast, served after the hunt, is at
II to pm
Many think fox hunting is an
exclusive sport of wealthy people
but there is no sport that appeals
more to the average dirt farmer
and his workers than fox hunting
