In the Hunt Country Activities: Among the Horse-Lovers of Virginia and Maryland. BY NINA CARTER TABB. LAUDE HATCHER of Virginia, | one of the best huntsmen and | handlers of hounds in the| United .States, who has been | out in Ohio this season hunting hounds for the Headley Hunt at Zanesville, {s back in Virginia and has the posi- tion as huntsman for the Fairfax| Hunt. This will be of great interest to all foxhunting people in this sec- | tion, Mr. Hatcher's home. He has| had some of the best packs in the | country, among them the first Middle- burg pack started by Mr. E. H. Harri- man, the Piedmont pack, Fairfax pack | and Loudoun pack. Last Summer Mr. Hatcher went to Ohio to hunt hounds and had a most successful season. Mr. Trafford Tal- madge, M. F. H. of Headley Hunt, has closed the season there on account | of cold weather and may come to Virginia to get in some hunting be- fore our season ends. Claude Hatcher took over his duties | as huntsman for Fairfax Hunt on| January 2, when hounds met at the | Warrenton pike at Cub Run Bridge. They had a good run and used three | and a half couples of hounds that Mr. | Hatcher had brought back from Ohio with the Fairfax pack. On Tuesday Fairfax Hounds met at Mr. Stewart | Preece’s place, with Reed Thomas, former master of the pack, acting| master in the absence of Dr. William | McClellan. M. F. H. Claude cast| hounds back of Government farm and | goon started a fox there. As they ran | a second fox was gotten up, which split | the pack. A few of the hounds went after one fox on such a hot trail that they couldn't be called off, but the majority of the pack gave the field the run of the season. Going toward ‘Waples Hill they ran over that coun- try and came back to Snake Den. Here the undergrowth was too thick for horses and riders to follow, how- ever, and they were very tired and stopped, while the hounds went on into the night before returning to| the kennels. Among those emo_\'mg‘ the day's sport besides Reed Thomas and Claude Hatcher were Miss Phl'h.si Swing, George Benoit. Joe Wheeler, Major McSherry and Stewart Preece. “TARRENTON HOUNDS met at| “Overbrook” farm on Saturday | with the temperature registering 75 degrees. A South wind, the bane of | fox hunters, blew lustily and the| prospect of sport looked rather poor | as the field rode off to draw the| Mitchell Harrison cover. At any rate scent or no scent, run or no rum, | here was a chance to really get warm | and rid one of the excess holiday avoirdupois nearly everyone had ac- quired. A fox was found in Col. Robert Wallach’s pines and despite the South wind, hounds hurried him | along at a great rate, and he was put | to ground after a lively 40-minute run. | Horses were blown and wet, the| temperature was still rising and the | field had had enough, so the master, Amory S. Carhart, decided to call it a day. Those out were, Mrs. Baldwin Spilman, Mrs, George Sloane, Miss | Mildred Gaines, Mrs. Robert Winmill, Miss Viola Winmill, Miss Emily North King, Miss Dorothy Montgomery, Miss Lucie Duer, Miss Dorothy Ney- hart, Miss “Babs” Batchelder, David Batchelder, Francis Green, Capt. | Richard Kirkpatrick, Alex Calvert and | Harry Poole. Warrenton Hunt, meeting recently | et Waterloo, had a small field of keen | but hardy enthusiasts out. Several| short, but spirited, bursts were en- Joyed, but no run of any duration gave the followers enough. Mr. Harry Pool, acting as master in the absence of Mr. Amory Carhart, persisted in | sending hounds on through various | covers under bad scenting conditions. | About dusk a fox was found, which went away on a straight course, de- manding much of both horses and riders in keeping up in the half-light. Several large fences were jumped late in the run, when it was almost totally dark. Miss Anne Shaffer came down when her horse faltered at a fence, due to the combined influences of both weariness and darkness, but she was not hurt. Those who finished the long after- noon's sport, still intact in the field when this fox was put to ground, numbered less than 10. Miss Emily North King, Miss Mildred Gaines, Mr. William Streett, Acting Master Har- ry Poole, Miss Lucie Duer and others came in with the hounds shortly after 7 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Poole and Mr. and Mrs. Raymond McGrath of War- renton are in New York, and will sail | for England this week. Mr. Poole and Mr. McGrath will hunt with the Cat- tistock pack there, by the invitation of Mr. C. V. Ruxton, who is joint master with Alex Higginson. Hunting Log—Tomorrow’s Meets. Virginia.
