STIFF FENCES AND GOOD JUMPING Reynard Doubles On His Pursuers and Disappears. THE SEASON FAIRLY OPENED. “To hunt the fox with hounds and horn,” the Queens County Hunt sot out yesterday afternoon, and _Mbose who joined with them in their maiden effort, hewever doubtful they may bave boon at the start, have only words of congratulation for them at the Gnish, Thiswas not the Ors: formal meocting of tho Hunt. It was only a preliminary dash, but it served to show what tho future promises for tne effort to ex- tablish huoting on a permanent basis noar New York. ‘The day was rather warm and tho fleld smaller than it should have been—evon under the circumstances—but the rua was splendid one, the jumps sumefous and ‘pretty stiff, and the misbaps, with ono exception, of no moment. That one exception wag the very sudden doath, undor unexplained circumstances, on the hupting field and'in the very midst of ehaso ‘ot Mr. Harry Blaston’s “big Hearted little pol /Hornor, of which more hereafter. gallop across country after'a well established in vld huating countries no huntaman would griidge sev- tral days ot preparation. It was a splandid dash. Could it havo been seen from end to end by such a crowd agsome- times witnesses our regular steoplechases, or, rather, from tbe beginning of the first check, there is no doubt that it would have elicited a yery liberal measure of applause. Imagine a run of somo seven miles or more, broken only by a@ brief check of about five or six minutes in a wood, over an undulating country where the flelds were small and fences numerous and ~Ml done wishin fifty minutes, and you may have, to start with, a fair basis of appreciation of yesterday’s bunt. Fellowing a pack like this one, to attond Whose mootings all aro welcome, whether subscrib- ers or not, the field are not all expected to go with the hounds “as tho crow files,” “Many good horseman who like the sport cannot afford to keep one or two hunters and aback with this purpose in view, and with less they cannot be sure to do it rogularly and cred- \tably, One may get. lamed of injured, and, there should always be another to take his place.

It can be done iu Queens county, and the present effort to demonstrate this fact snoutd be encouraged. Tho master of the hounds, Mr. F. Gray Griswold, yesterday showed himself a thorough huntsman 1 all thiat the occasion called for, Ho rode superbly, and, though getting a slight toss, kept with the pack throughout, not swerving from any ovstacie that came in his way, even though that obstacle should prove to be a five-rail tence, ‘THE ASSHMBLY, The Hera, inthe article publisned Tuesday an- nouncing the intention of the Queens County Hunt to bave their preliminary meeting, stated that the meet- ing would be at the kennel, three miles east of Garden City, Such was the original intention, but o subsequently ordered it should be otherwise. Out of tonsideration doubtless for tho ladies, friends of tho subscribers to the new pack ana yis- itors from all over the county, it was do- termined yesterday morning to meet at the Garden City Hotel and at the samo hour that had been fixed on for the mecting at the kennel, This was without doubt a very good idea for several reasons, Until fox hunting is bettor understood here people will attend mectings in wagons and carriages, and hope to have a full view of the c! 8 If loxes wi xpected to be polite enough to skirt the roads or run tn a set groove for the benefit of onlookers. But the fox decides as he pleases—and he genorally pleases to disappoint puch expectant observers. Yesterday was no excep- tion to the rule respecting these expectant obstrvers, They came to Gardon City in wagons of various sorte— wagons drawn by tandem teams, wagdns owned by country peoplo and wagons owned by city people. It was nota very large assembiace, tor the notice was brief, butit wasa suiliciently varied one‘to give it spice aud picturesqueness, and really moro people came out than ought to have been ox- pected. Among those who were at Garden City were Mra. A. T. Stewart, with Judge Hilton, some friends and memberS of his family, Mr, W. Wetmore was on the ground with a foer-in-hand turnout—bays with long tails. Thao were also present some other prominent ladies from Now York, who doubtless woutd prefer not to achieve notoriety by being men- Moned a8 «amateur Lady Gay Spankers, however? they Yhey may favor the sport, Tho number ot Queens county visitors was quite encouraging to the young sportsmen, 5 AT THE STABLE Whilo the people were gathering about the hotel and ‘while thoso who had already assembled were discuss- Ing the day’s prospects; while men with mounts wore flattering themseives that thoy would be with the frst lot throughout tho run, and those who had none wore considering how to get mounted, the writer strolled over toward the hogel stables to take a look at the lot that wore to form the principal part of the hunting fleld. This stable is a spacious brick building, with roomy stalls, weil lighted, thoroughly ventilated and very comfortable looking. Nearly ail the stalls were found to be full of hunters. There stood Mr. Babeock’s chestnut horse Persuader, Mr. Robort Cc rs five, thoroughbred bay pbuuter, which he bought of Mr. Hitches ; Mr. Beimout Pardy’s pretty bay mare, a thoroughbred al Mr. Zvorowski’s mount, a big, likely looxing horse, seoming all over the weight carrying hunter. There was also in one ot tho stalls a hunter belonging to Mr, Herman Oclrichs, one of the subscribers to the pack, Mr. Harry Blas- son had three horses there, First and foremost was old Jack Horner, who has at Jast and forever retired to } Sultan, a Canadian horse, and Nobie, a brod of home raising.

The hungrier they are, without physical detriment to them, the better they taxe the scent, While the hounds and their master were attiacting the attention of the little knots of spectators on tho hotel piazza the stable attendants were busy saidling atid preparing tho hunters for tho anticipated run, Presently they were pulled out and soon they were ridden to the place of meeting, [t is a cheeringsight to the lover of fox hunting this gathering of the “field.’? So indeed js it @ proud mo- ment for the master of the hounds, but this latter vanity can best be indulged wiere flelds are largo and hunting well cstablisied, Then the field ts greatly at the mercy of the maser, Now, the master Is trying to encourage the fleld, md, mstead of holding them at nis mercy, he acts best nd most wisely by consulting to a reasonable extent thir wishes and conveniences, The master of the Quens county hounds does not seem ir to press iis claims to universal homage. He dently ande. stands bis business, goes dircetly to the point ina manly though perfeetly modest way and nas abundar pluck for his position, STARTING OFP. Not much timo was lost after the arrival of the hounds, Mr. Griswold and his friends did not seem enger to attract too much attention apparently, Be- sides thoy had business in hand and the hour was too far advanced to admit of further loss or waste of time, With one or two short binsts of the horn the mastor turned his horse’s head to the castward and started with bis pack. Behind, again at his post, was the whip. Thon it was seon that the following gonti men were also mounted and realy for the chase:— Messra, William E. Peot, Belmont Purdy, Robert Center, ©. De B. Wagstaff, E. Zborowski, Harry Blasson on Jack Horner, his boy op Noble, and, last of all, the writer. Thero wasalso with this company a lady on a pretty looking animal, This lady is the wifo of one of the subseribers to the pack, and her husband ac- companiod ber. Of the nuimber present only ono more beside tho huntsman and whip, was in “paint.” That was Mr. Ztorowski, who was in full bunting costume, Most of the others wore bunting or racing brocches, with dark coats and hunting caps of black volvet or tall bats, The horses pranecd and capered, some canter- ing rakishly, othors trotting with heads erect, and all eager fora break, So thoy moved eastward fora tow bundred yards. Then they headed to the north. Af- torashort trot to the northward along the road they turned ‘o the northeast, leaving the fields and com- moveing to take ‘their first fences, Most of the horses went kindly at them and jumped bandsomely, while a few refused at first, (hough they subsequent!y got ovor safoly, the lady who attended taking her first jamps with quite as much spirit and case as could bo expected of one anused to hunting. Meantime the road bobind us had become pretty well occupied with the various kinds of conveyances that had gathered at the hotel during the fore. noon, Some of these seomed to move along briskly enough, while others jogged rather slowly onward STRIKING A SCENT. We had not proceeded iar through the folds before , the foremost hounds commenced to give tongue, The pack, with the hantsman and whip, wo had permitted to move a little im advance of us, so tho cry reached us bat faintly. We saw there was some commo- tion among them, however, and their sharp yelps and rapidiy wagcing tails told us they must have struck a sceat, Giving our borses a little rem we cavtered on in a north. easterly direction and nothing too soon, for wo now saw they were already of. On various sides encour- aging exclamations were uttered, and very readily we found ourselves speeding across ficlds and clearing fences in fine order, The fields were smal), the fences numerous--rather too {r. quently encounterod for some of our friends, but neither too stiff nor wo frequent for a good jumper ot fair spesd. They proved a little too stiff and too numerous for somo, however, as the sequel showed. THE KUN. . y soon after first giving tongue the pack got fairly away, Thoy were well together at the siart lod by Regulator and Ransom, both white hounds markea with black and tan. Thoy ran well, too, but did not make music enough to glad tho car of anyone who hnd ever bofore beard tho rousing melody of a good sized pack in full cry, But then most of the field bad no time to speculate on the musi- cal part of tho entertainment. They were obliged to keep on the rt, for oecasionally a borse would turn tail on his fences and only tako them when some leader had touched a rail and thus Tessened the task of clearing them. For tho first milo orso we were not much divided among ourselves, The huntsman and whip were right with the hounds, and atleast five or six of us were close behini—as close as we cared to be—for there was ry indication of a long ana pretty fast run. I noticed a8 wo sped onward that the huatsman stuck close to his pack, The dogs ran through the rails and thoir master cieared them. He was not mounted ona thoroughbred oither, but on a good jumper of no notable breeding that wont at his task with a will, About the secund mile our Jine of hunters commenced to got strung out, The master, or huntsman, and whip held their places, but their fol- lowers wore fewer by far than at the etart, JACK HORNER. OF the dead nothing but what is good has been for many long years am accepted maxim, though it has been recently contended that “of the dead nothing but what is true’? would bea juster one. Ineither evout it can be said of poor dead littie Jack Horner that in the first two miles of yesterday’s hunt he acted nobly. He took the fences, largo aud small, and with @ fair estimate of their size just cleared them all, About the close of tho tecond mile, while we were going at quite a warm unting paco, Mr. Griswold sent his “nag” at afive- Qrrod fence. 1b was clearly taken, but the horse tell © his Knees at the other side, and Mr. Griswold slyped off striking on bis:shonidor. A moment alter ne we up and off. Indeed, he would not have fallon @t\l but fora trivial accident, By some oversight bis Ma neglected to put’a stop in front of one of the rings of te maftingalo, and in taking the jump the ring shpad ap too tar and stuck in tho bit, This was what broubs the borse down and the rider with him, After Mr. Giaword camo Jack Horner, next the writer—ail safely over,” Overtaking dir, ‘Blasson in the fieid yeyond’ with the hantsman and Whip just alad I noticed that his horse appeared a littic distress, Ho eased him then ana I lett him to send back to (m the maa’riding Noble, who was some way off to th right, Abeut this timo the bant was at its height.

HOMEWARD BOUND: Alter the dogs had been called together we turned in the direction of a neighboring farmbouse, tn a pond in the yard attached to which ihe bounds had a good bath, While here some of the stragglers came up, and there was some comparing of notes and a general “buzz!” about the run, All agreed that it was a good one, and that tho hunt was fairly put ander way, It was here that we heard of the death of poor Jack Horner, After 1 had left Mr, Blasson he put the spur to Jack, ana finding no response foored something must be wrong. He had been walking him a little and thought to sot of cn & quiet cantor again, Now, however, he dismounted, und had no sooner done 60 than Jack fell over, rolled back and forth once or twice and died in “harness.” Alter a brief breathing spell at the farm house wo walked back to the kennel and thence homeward.
