In the Hunt Country Activities Among the Horse Lovers of Virginia BY NINA CARTER TABB. OX hunting during the holidays has been the very best of the season, all packs going out on Christmas day with large flelds. Pledmont met at Upperville and had & great run. Starting a fox on the cliffs of Panther Skin Creek on Wel- bourne Farm, they ran straight across country over such good galloping farms as the Slater’s, Fletcher's and Metcalf’s and on to the Gen. Buchanan farm, near Blakely grove, to the Rich- ardson farm. Then they ran across Windsor (now owned by the Charles Cushmans, where the fox was denned near The Trappe. The few who were in at the finish said that it was a most exciting run and the fences the biggest they had taken this season. Those in at the end were the M. F. H., A. C. Randolph; huntsman and whips, Irvin Beavers, Mr. and Mrs. William Stevenson, Dulany Randolph, Jack Butler, Harry Worcester Smith and Archie Cary Randolph, jr. Dr. Cary Langhorne entertained the fleld and & number of neighborhood people at an eggnog party after hunting. The Middleburg Hunt met Christ- mas day at Mrs. Newell Ward's gate at 1 pm. At noon Mrs. Ward, Miss Rosemary Ward and Mr. Buddy Ward entertained at & hunt breakfast. Mid- dleburg had & snappy run “right off the bat,” which gave them half an hour’s sport. They then started a second fox and ran to Pole Cat Hill. Blue Ridge Hunt had a good run on Saturday, when they met at Springsbury, the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Greenhalgh. After the run, which the fleld enjoyed no end, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Gilpin gave & hunt tea for the field and neighbor- hood at their lovelv home, Scaleby. Warrenton Hunt met at Creedmore Gate, with Jack Williams as M. F. H,, as they were hunting the Casanova country. The large field enjoyed a marvelous run. ‘The Loudoun Hunt met at Kincaid's gate and from all reports the field, made up of many people home for the holidays, had a glorious day. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Green entertained at & hunt breakfast afterward. Orange County Hounds met at Mr. Phipps’ red brick house on Saturday morning and enjoyed a good run. Mr, Hubert Phipps had a fall at a fence, but was soon up and after hounds again. Miss Charlotte H.

Student Charmer Of Snakes Wants An Elephant Act Girl, 18, Appeared at o High School Show With " Boa Constrictor. By the Associated Press. CATSKILL, N. Y., December 28. Eighteen-year-old Martha Thiele, who | & made her first stage appearance in a Catskill high school entertainment with an 8-foot boa constrictor as a neck scarf, “likes” snakes; but her real ambition is an “elephant act of my own.” The high school senior created a | furore when she came to school with | & the reptile. She explained to school authorities that she merely wanted to do her part toward raising funds to send Catskill seniors on their tradi- tional educational trip to Washington. Aided by Martha's snake-charming act, the show was successful and a | considerable sum was added to the seniors’ trip fund. Her brother, John Henry Thiele, jr., internationally known dealer in zo- ological specimens, lent the snakes |i& for the class show. Martha looks to graduation as a chance to enter into | i & business partnership with him. She also wants to become an animal trainer with an “elephant act of my own.” cently in London for $12.50. - Education Group to Dine.
