By Elisabeth McSherrl,

Redland season opened auspic-
iously on October 14th, with a
clubbing meet at the Kennels at 7
A. M. Twelve regular followers,
and several youngsters having
their first go, were on hand. 1t
was one of those perfect mornings,
with the mists rolling up from the
valleys under the rising sun.
Hounds were anxious, a promise of
good seeming. The cast was made
in Bready's meadow, and the
huntsman hardly had time to urge
his hounds when the old familiar
voice TO Speaker" was heard. In
a matter of seconds the balance of
the pack did full honor, and the
red was on his way, followed by a
field tingling with excitement. In
the masters pocket rode LISA Nc
Sherry, promoted to the good mare,
Gould Be-, this season.
Red put his nose on a two mile
point northeast to Lex Barnsley's,
right handed across Welch's mead
ow, and on to the Redpath farm,
where the field viewed him several
times. Hounds marked him to earth
on the Fraley place.
There we're a few more good
hunts before winter set in. What a
winter! Never have | seen its like
in Maryland. Hunt after hunt was
called off, the frozen ground un-
safe for horses. We met each other
at jolly breakfasts, but the tack
hung idle in the stable.
Hounds met at Olney January
9th at II A. M. 1t was another
lovely day. Hounds were cast in
Bob Chichester's woods. After fif-
teen minutes they started a grey.
We listened to 35 minutes of good
hound music in the large cover be-
fore the trail was lost.
