In the Hunt Country Activities Among the Horse Lovers of Vir- ginia and Maryland. BY NINA CARTER TABB. In Howard County, Md., where the Howard County Hunt goes out three times weekly, enthusiasm runs high, | both during the cubbing season when meets are at 4:30 am. and on days| when winds and clouds threaten storm. Foxes seem plentiful and often lead hounds on for hours, until even the Xkeenest riders are glad to have them whipped off the line. Such days pro- duce memories of good cheer and good tales told by delightfully tired fox hunters while gathered around open fires. Although the present hunt was not organized until 1930, fox hunting in the county is as old as the county itself, many having hunted their own hounds or with the old Patapsco Hunt at Elkridge which sbme years ago moved its headquarters to Baltimore | County and eventually became the Elkridge Hounds. Howard County has much historical | & background, many old homes and old | 3 There are four or five |i: families. manors in,a beautiful state of preser- vation, yet with the atmosphere of days before the Revolutionary War, and, too, there are still farms of large acreage which give followers of the hounds uninterrupted territory over which to hupt. The modest but comfortable club house and kennels are located at about the center of hunting activitiés in & community known as Glenelg. Hounds go out every Saturday after- day morning, weather 3 Augustus Riggs, 3d, and Philip Bowen, joint masters, hunt an American- bred pack, noted for its speed and |:: stamina. On Saturday afternoon, December | 8, hounds met at Walnut Grove, the beautiful farm belonging to T. Stock- ton Matthews, president of the hunt. A cast at the rear of the farm in woods proved blank, but the second draw at the adjoining farm, Hayland, brought forth a large dog fox, which, after an exciting run, fell prey to the hounds on the Parlett farm about an hour later. He was game, if indis- creet, and came at once to the open, running very fast over the large flelds at Hayland, hounds crying loudly at his heels and the field viewing him as they followed in a feverish excite- | ment. road and turned, taking the hounds back near to the place where they had | picked him up, through some woods, | over a stream, through a long meadow, taking rail fences at intervals and |% over a wheat field. Another rail fence | & came in sight. He ran through that. The hounds were almost on him. | Weaving his way back and forth through this fence in an effort to rid himself of the hounds he must have heard the thunder of hoofs, for the fleld approaching saw the run was over. Miss Neville L. Lee received the brush. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Dawson Lee of Howard County. Her father is ome of the whippers-in and -her sisters and brother are equally enthusiastic over hunting. One of the masters presented | the mask to Mrs. Gerald J. Muth, member of a family of ardent fox| hunters, being the former Miss Mary Lee Carroll, daughter of Mrs. Charles -Carroll of Howard County. On the following Tuesday, December | 8, hounds met at Oak Hill in the upper | part of the county. The day was rea- sonably clear and very calm and that elusive requisite of a good hunt, scent, ‘was excellent. Only the sound of hunter and hound broke the stillness of the morn- ing as the hunters entered Dead Horse | Meadow. Presently a note rang out and another joined in, another and still another. They are on a line, they | & eircle the woods. “Gone away”"—“Tally-ho.” The ealm of the morning was broken. One of the longest and hardest rides of the /season was on. Hounds were flying, horses eager, riders tense. . After three hours steady going the | 3 hounds were whipped off. The fox | had been viewed seven times, with the | % flying pack about 200 yards behind, |3 ;then- magic notes in the valley and now on the hill. It would have been hard afterward for riders to retrace “their course, for the fox had taken a puzzling route—circling, zigzagging, up | the river, down to the mill, into the | fgame reserve, back o its original cover, “in Dead Horse Meadow, across the Kemp farm, back to Glenwood, to the ¢Macy’s farm, to Dan Gaither's farm, to the game preserve again and then due west almost to Cooksville. Hounds ~were whipped off. Riders were weary. | i +Their minds turned to open fireplaces sand a table, laden down. : HUNTING LOG—TOMORROW'S MEETS, Virginia, ~ The Pairfax Hunt—William Mc- +Clellan, M.
