RedIond Hunt To Roam
New Territory In Future

There is a news story of consid-
cradle human interest in the re-
vival of the Redland Hunt meets.
Beginning in 1880, the Redland
Hunt was built up over the course
of years largely through the eff
forts of one man, who is still the
Master of Fox Hounds, Thomas L.
Mott.
AS has been customary in the
past, hunting will be by subscrip-
ton only, except for resident land
owners and renters. According to
the secretary, the hounds will meet
on Wednesdays and Saturdays,
weather permitting, till March.
The annual point-to-point will be
held, as usual, on the second Sat
urday in March.
The new headquarters of this
the oldest recognized Hunt in
Montgomery County is Sandy
Spring, Box SO. The move from
Rockville was effected by Mr.. Mott
to leave the Potomac Hunt a clear
field of operations in the territory
coded to the Potomac Hunt. The
present territory of the Redland
Hunt consists of approximately 15
square miles of rolling and open
country, including two creeks and
some rivers, with stone fences,
chicken coops, and post and rails.
The official colors of the Redland
Hunt are scarlet and old gold col
lar with black piping.
At the same time that Mr.. Mott
effected the move of the hunt head
quarters to Sandy Spring, he an
nounced that, in addition to Joseph
Richards, Jr., who will continue
to serve as secretary, the other Of
ficers of the Hunt for the 1946-47
season would be: Mrs. Frank J.
McSherry, Tom Mott, Jr., Mrs.
Heel WEIGH, honorary whips. Mr..
Mott also designated as chairman
and members of standing commit
tees the following people: Panel
ling and Race Committee, Chair
man, Bill Carl; Nancy Hanna,
John Richards, and Tom Mott, Jr.;
Hunt and Subscription Committee
Chairman, Ed Fletcher; Ed Flet-

annually consumed by the fox
hounds in their feed, Mr. Mott or
dered the destruction of practical
ly all his prize hounds. The re-
naming few hounds were sent to
the nearby farm of Miss Nancy
Hanna, who personally fed them
and cared for them until the pres
ent time. These hounds are the
nucleus of Mr.. Motifs future pack.
