80 CIRTY., Country Activities Among the Horse-Lovers of Virginia and Maryland. BY NINA CARTER TABB. IDING and hunt club members have a good many children who are excellent riders, hav- ing had ponies and learned to ride by the time they could sit on & horse. Some of these youngsters ride to hounds with their parents and are well known in horse show rings. This season they have started s new hunt club, calling it the Junior Hunt. They have a few hounds of their own with which the grown-ups help them. They hope next Spring to collect a larger pack and will train them and eventually manage the whole club by themselves, laying drags and acting as their own hunt ser- vants. Every Saturday morning at 10 o'clock & drag is laid for them now (weather permitting). Recently they met at Bradley Farms, and during the run hounds left the drag and went off on a live fox scent! This was most exciting for the riders, who are too keen to be long satisfied with drags, and will all want to fox hunt. _But starting out with drags is the best way for young persons to start and these are learning fast. Among the energetic members of the new sporting venture are Tom Mott, jr. son of the master of Red- land Hunt; Margaret® Sanderson, daughter of Dr. Sanderson, M. F. H. of the Riding and Hunt Club Hounds; Robin Riddick, Elaine McDowell, Mary Jackson, Patsy Ann Benoit, Joan Morgenthau, Mary Lou Miles, Mal- colm Ford, Russell Ford, Van Ness Philips, Louise Crosby, Stratton Nicholson, Tony Walker, Dick Alexan- der and Margaret Hill. The latter is well known in the hunting field and show ring, having won many seat and good hands classes in the largest shows in the country. * ok x ok AT STUYVESANT SCHOOL in Warrenton, Va., the boys have their own hunt club and go out hunt- ing once a week. They also own their hounds and train, feed and care for them. It is very interesting to see them coming in from a hunt, as I saw them not long ago, all loking happy; and healthy.

Mr. Suter t;) Speak to Republican Women Mrs. William Fitch Kelley, president of the League of Republican Women, announces that Mr. Jesse C. Suter is to be the guest speaker at the meeting to be held at the club’s rooms Friday morning at 11:30 o'clock. Mr. Suter was first president of the Bociety of Natives and now is hon- orary president for life, and former president of the Federation of Citi- zens' Associations. He is vice chair- man of the Citizens’ Joint Committee is riding instructress at the school and if you have ever seen her in the hunting deld, show ring or riding in a point-to-point race you know that the Stuyvesant boys couldn’t have a better teacher. Among the leading riders of the school are Billy Hulburt of Middleburg, Buddy Baldwin: of ‘Warrenton, Noel Armstrong and Peter Houget. Paulina Longworth is an enthu- siastic rider of the younger set. She is back in Washington, having ar- rived with her mother, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, just after Christmas from Cincinnati. Paulina’s pony, Maggie, came back to Washington with her and she rides regularly. Maggie is a lovely black pony that was brought over to this country from England by Winston Guest. He played polo on her and then she was bought for Paulina as a riding horse. I saw Maggie on Saturday at Roland Dawson's stable, where many of Washington's best riders keep their horses. The Hon. Frederick Guest, M. P., of London, England, is visiting his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Guest, at their home near Middleburg. The young Guests gave a dinner party on Saturday night in honor of their father. The French horse, Cypress de Beau, that caused so much interest and ex- citement. last week when he was put up at auction and sold to the highest bidder, is resting peacefully at Mrs. Eleanor Patterson’s place, Dower House, in Maryland. Mrs. Patterson bought him for her daughter Felocia, who will use him as a hunter. Cypress de Beau likes his new home and has lost all the nervousness caused by not enough exercise and the crowds of people that went in to see him before the sale. Miss Frances Morison entertained at a dinner party on Saturday night at her home, Welbourne, in honor of her house guests, Mrs. Mary Cole and Judge Watts May of Westmoreland County, Va. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Duval Tyler, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Marshall, Miss Eliza- beth Lemmon, Col. John Butler, Mr. James Pennebaker and Mr. Nathaniel H. Morison. * % X X% Hunting Log—Tomorrow’s Meets. Virginia. Piedmont fox hounds—Dr. A.. C. Randolph, M. F. H,, Delaplane, 1 pm. | The Fairfax Hunt—William McClel- lan, M. F.
