THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1936. . B—$§ In the Hunt Country Activities Among the Horse-Lovers of Virginia and Maryland. BY NINA CARTER TABB. HERE was good cub hunting on Saturday among all hunts, and those in this neighborhood went out early io order to attend the race meeting of the Blue Ridge Hunt, held at Annefield, estate of the M. F. H. Williem Bell Watkins, in the afternoon. ° Pijedmont hounds met at the polo fleld and had an excellent run over some of their best country. Middleburg hounds met at Roger Fred’s place and drew toward Sunuy Bank, started a fox, which was put in after a short run. They later started another- that ran to Mrs. Henry Fairfax’s farm and was lost. ‘They got up a third fox on Mrs. Fairfax’s place and were given a good run toward Johnson Russell’s, crossed his farm and circled around the Furr farm. The field had a good morning’s huntiag. E 3 As the huntsman was taking hounds home, two of the animals were killed by a truck on a curve of the road. Twenty Foxcroft schoolgirls, among them Miss Nancy Penn Smith, daugh- ter of the late Penn Smith and Mrs. Plunkett Stewart, were with the hunt on Saturday. Miss Smith is an ex- cellent horséwoman and has ridden since she was a small child. Her father was master of Orange County Hounds, at The Plains, when he died several years ago. He was also one of the best steeplechase riders of Amenica. Her mother is an ardent follower to hounds and has a lovely farm in the Orange County hunt country and comes here during the season for some fox hunting.

While hunting with Orange County Hounds on Saturday, Mrs. Lillian Langley of New York and Virginia made a sensational jump during a run, when her horse took & high stone wall with a 12-foot drop. It did not check this rider or bother her good horse and on they went after hounds. * ok k% Mrs. Paul Abbott, who had an acci- dent while out with Warrenton hounds on Saturday, is resting comfortably &t the hospital in Warrenton.

L Warrenton Hunt will open officially, with the first hunt on November 7. Mr. and Mrs. Amory Carharst are en- tertaining with a large hunt breakfast on that day.
