In the Hunt Country Activities Among the Horse-Lovers of Virginia and Maryland. BY NINA CARTER TABB. HE prospects for polo in Vir- ginia for the season of 1937 are brighter than they have ever been in the past, with more players and better fields. The mild Winter has helped the turf on both the Marshall and Phipps fields. | Polo promises to be of a higher class than in 1936 due to the fact that Raymond Guest and Aubrey (Dick) Floyd will be seen in the line-ups of the different teams. Mr. Floyd, in partnership with Mr. Walter Eaton of New York, is operating a polo ranch at the old Capt. Jack farm, on the Remington road. Mr. Charles Cushman of Upper- wville will also play with the Fauquier- Loudoun Club. In addition to these newcomers the usual local players will be active, including William Hulburt, John Walker, Turner Wiltshire, Dick Kirkpatrick, Hubert Phipps, Henry Bkinker, Howard Fair, Kenneth Je right The Spanish influence in a dashing bolero with white scallop edging. $16.95 seated The peplum flares forth in a gay print frock with kins, Rodney Woodward, Philip Trip- lett, Gould Shaw, John Rawlings, Henry Frost, Henry Lewis and Hugh Fontaine, late of the Iroquois Club, in Kentucky. Perhaps Harvey Shaffer will be seen in action. Polo in Virginia is unique in the fact that most of the players raise and train their own ponies, usually undersized race horses or hunters. All of the players ride to hounds and during September and October it is possible to hunt in the morning and play polo in the afternoon. The itinerary of the Fauquier-Loudoun | Club includes games with Baltimore, | White Sulphur Springs, Harrisburg, | Pa.: Meadowbrook, Long Island; Hagerstown, Md., and Lexington, Ky., as well as numerous games with Army | teams at Fort Myer and Washington, D. C. | The weather is far too warm and | unseasonable for foxhunting this week and the fields have been very small. THE EVENING Many of the hunting set of Middle- burg are planning to go to New York for the wedding of Miss Rosemary Ward, daughter of Mrs. Newell Ward of New York and Middleburg, and Mr, George W. Blabon, 2d, of Phila- delphia. Their marriage will take place on Friday, January 22, at 4:30 p.m. at Central Presbyterian Church, New York City. * % * ¥ I HAVE had numerous letters and telephone calls in regard to the lost hounds I wrote about last week, showing the interest people in Mary- land and Virginia take in good hounds and sporting events. One letter says: “I am writing in regard to a letter in a recent edition written to you by Mrs. McWhorter about three stray hounds that came to her place, and asking you what disposition she should make of them. I would like to have you contact this party with the view of having her accept my offer to give the hounds a good home, if she is unable to locate the owner. You may call me at Marlboro and reverse the charges. Thanking you for whatever assistance you can give to help me get the hounds. “Yours truly, ‘The lost hoynds were restored to their owner through this column. ‘They belonged to a man in Maryland who says they were evidently stolen and carried to Virginia, by some one whom he thinks wanted to sell them to one of the hunt clubs here, By the kindness of Mrs. McWhorter, who kept and fed the hounds and wrote me of them, the hounds are now safe- ly at home again. They are from a private pack and are very valuable. Mrs. William Mitchell has been visit- ing Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Iselin for a few days. She came here from De- troit, where she is spending the Winter with her father, Mr. Miller. The two Mitchell children, Lucy and Billy, jr, are attending schools in Detroit this Winter and are greatly missed by their friends at the Hill School in Middleburg. Mr. and Mrs. STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
