riding to hounds" in jeeps and
stock cars has become an annual
classic at the beach resort of Mays
Head, North Carolina, where the
seventh annual Valentine Season
Foxhunts will take place Febru-
airy 1919.
The Mays Head event draws
sportsmen and spectators from
half dozen states, and the pack

follow over the dunes and beaches
is marshalled from the Carolinas
and Virginia. John Ray Watkins

nearby to house the more than 100
foxhounds brought to the coast
for the chase.
The Hunt Ball, a rollicking
square dance featuring a string
band and an amateur floor show,
will be held at the Carolinian the
evening of February 10.
Each day of foxhunting begins
at 7 am. after guests at the
Carolinian are awakened by the
music of an old-fashioned hunting
horn. The first "cast" of hounds
is usually made near Bodie Island
Lighthouse, just south of Mays
Head, and hunting days some

had walked and hitch-hiked since
Saturday down from Virginia
Beach. Mr.. Ferebee picked them
up on the beach at Mays Head,
and gave them some food.
Their stay at the town hall
doesn't speak too well for the
alertness of the town, for despite
their tender age, Mr.. Cannady
didn't call their parents to notify
them, stating that the town would
not pay for such phone calls, and
he would have to wait to morning
to get the county to pay for a call.
They did get S. for the rifle they
carried, which was enough to buy
them ous fare back to Elizabeth
City, and they left Manteo. for
gotten fol the time being. They
announced their plan to go ''ome,
but were later seen in Elizabeth
City. In MaIteo they said they had
run out of gas and sold the rifle
for money to buy gas.
