In the Hunt Country Activities Among the Horse-Lovers in Virginia an By NINA CARTER TABB. IDDLEBURG HUNT'S opening meeting was held at Benton, home of the Master and Mrs Daniel S. Sands, on Monday morning. Their lovely old brick house was a fitting background for the smart crowd of people and thoroughbred horses gathered in the brilliant sun- ahine to start the fox hunting season. Mr. Sands and Miss Charlotte H. Noland, joint masters, rode down the driveway, followed by more than 100 riders. They crossed from the Ben- ton estate onto Duncan Reads’, then the Basil Hall's place and drew sev- eral coverts. While drawing William Benton's farm they started a fox that ran to Freddy Warburg's place, circled to William Benton's again and back to Warburg's they ran to William Hitt's place. It was a beautiful sight to see fox, hounds and the field streaming along the top of the hill in front of the Hitt house and jump after jump taken with the hounds in full The fox was denned after half an hour’s run in a field above the banks of Goose Creek near New Ford. Hounds were then brought back to- ward William Hitt's house and as riders circled the field in front, hounds nosed toward the vegetable garden and In full view jumped the second fox in Mr. Hitt's cabbage patch. Off they all went around the south field | to run toward Goose Creek, whieh the fox crossed to run up a hill on the Mackenzie Tabb farm. Here hounds were called off as the creek was very high from recent rains and riders didn't care to plunge into it. The day ‘was warm by that time and horses | riders weary from heavy going, so one jogged home. Children and parents were a feature | of the day, many of the youngster: riding their first hunt. Among the and children present were Mr. William Hulburt and their | , Miss Elizabeth Hulbert, and Hulbert, jr.; Mr. and Mrs. Arthur White and their son, White, who was home for the week end from St. Alban's School; Mr. Rogers Fred and his young daughter, Dorothy Fred: Mrs. James McMann and her daughter, Miss Thayer Mc- | Mann; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Atkinson and Miss Neville Atkinson, Mrs, Oliver Iselin and the Misses Nancy and Bar- bara Iselin, Mrs. Silvie Hazzard and her daughter, Miss Natalie Hazzard; Mrs. Merrill Hubbard of Chicago and her daughter, Miss Elizabeth Hubbard, and Mr, and Mrs. Barry Hall and their little daughter, Miss Nancy Hall.

GRASS GROWS ON CONCRETE Other Plants Also Supported in Seams of James River Bridge at Newport News. By the Associated Press. A. B. Massey, associate professor of wild life at Virginia Tech, has found more proof of the hardiness of crab grass and ragweed. He found them growing in concrete seams on the long James River Bridge above Newport News. There they had the most meager soil and were exposed to ex- tremes of heat and cold. Other plants found there were goose grass, knot weed, Spanish needle, agrostis, lamb's quarter, smart weed, white clover, bitter weed, pepper grass and smut grass. BACKS G. 0. P.
