Traditions and customs OF the
hunt and the whole concept OF fox
hunting often are misunderstood
even by a great number OF the
smartly attired riders seen ut the
start. Less and less frequently
riders are found who take a scien-
tiflc interest In the art and sport OF
fox hunting, and more and more
frequently are found those who
hunt in order to ride over Jumps
rather than those who ride IN order
to hunt" These folk, who prefer to
show of their skill over fences, are
bored with waits while hounds are
casting and are irked by the rigid
rules OF the sport, would ind greater
satisfaction in the drag hunt or IN
steeplechasing.
Although an arduous sport, fox
hunting is one of the very few active
sports that may be enjoyed by men
and women alike, regardless OF age.
There are on record masters and
ihuntsmen, as we'll as members OF
hunts, who in their 80s still are
following the hounds.
Potomac Has Long History.
The busy hunt season now in full
swing finds scores of horsemen and
women riding to hounds on the
average of twice q week. Local fox
hunters support two active hunts
and there are great many recog-
nized packs in the nearby Maryland
ano Virginia area.
The Potomac Hunt, whose fore
runners, the Riding and Hunt Club,
Chevy Chase Hunt, etc., have a
century -olo history, was recognized
in 1881. Potomac boasts a we'll

spirit of the English gentry riding &c
