H, the paper trail was laid just prior to the chase and was broken in places, necessi- tating a search for the new trail. Maj. Stanley L. Scott won the men’s * chase, and of the ladies, Miss Hall of Washington was first in. A group of spectators gathered to witness the finish, and breakfast was served at Mackenzie Hall.
