The Hunting Log Chronicles of the Run, the Field, Squires and Their Dames. BY NINA CARTER TABB. VERY nice feature of Thanks- giving day at Middleburg, Va., A is that our “parson” has services at the Episcopal Church at 9 o'clock in the morning instead of the usual hour, 11 o'clock, so that his congregation, who are almost all foxhunting people, can go te the Thanksgiving service and on to the fox hunt from there. Mr. Mayers, our minister, invites every one to come to this early service in their hunting clothes, and he always has a good congregation. It is very Impressive and interesting. The church is decorated with fruit and’ vegetables of all kinds and the congregation arrives in pink coats, top hats, black habits, checked coats, various colored riding breeches, etc., to worship before going on to the meet. The offering taken up on this day is sent to the Home for Homeless Boys at Covington, Va., and the fruit and vegetables that different people have given to decorate the church is sent to the Loudoun Hospital at Leesburg. Blue Ridge Hounds met at Clay Hill on Saturday, drew Mr. Lindsey's ment hounds on Friday at 10 o'clock, pulled out about 1 o'clock, mo- tored to Mr. Langley’s flying field, where he was met by Mrs. Guest and they took a piane and flew to Wil- mington for the wedding of Miss Alice du Pont to Mr. James Mills, which took place on FPriday after- noon. Mr. and Mrs. John Hay Whitney, entertained with a large seated dinner party on Thanksgiving night at Llangollen.

Dr. Randolph, who is noted for giving his field a good day always, drew the George Glasscock farm, moved onto Crenshaws Cross Roads, and Hubert Phipps to Paul Llewel- lyn’s, started a fox on Lakeland, had a good run in circles and put the second fox in.

It was a lovely day for fox hunting, with 80 in the field, and although none of the runs were very long “a good time was had by all.” After hunting, there were many late lunch- eons, teas and partles of all sorts held In different houses, but not many din- ner parties that night, as every one was tired and went to bed early in order to go out with the many packs that were going out on Saturday.
