A Fine Day for the Chase and a Good Field. to hounds yesterday’s weather may be Called decidedly good; as «cool, bracing autumn day Mt could scarcely have been excelled, It was no Wonder, then, that a pretty large fleld gathered at tho Tegalar meet of the Queens county hounds or that the Concourse of spectators, desirous of seoing all they could of the run from the roads, was large, » As chance willed it they wore gratified by a good view of Bearly two-thirds of the run, To sum up in brief the experiences ot the day, it may be said that the hunt, began as a drag, ended in a chase, the fox be: fost; that the run ‘Was au uousgally dificult one; that tully one-half the fold made commendadie efforts to follow straight, which were mostly crowned with success; that some fine jumping was done across country and seen from ‘Uhe roads, and that no falls or serious accidents bap- Pened to spoil with regrets the recollections of the day’s pleasure, The course was more difficult than usual because it led through more bigh praeh and wild Woodland than was pleasant, But, then, this: also ©scasioned checks which gave the lagging ones a chance to make up for lost time, #o that each fresh dasb into the open brought out generally a larger fold than was seen together just Previously. The checks, though slight, served to ob- tain for the more tired horses a breathing spell that Tofreshed them and sent them torward on cach suo- cessive dash In far better form thau they would have been were the run continuous and uninterrupted, The oxperience of the day was moro like what a genu- ioe fox hunt after » wild animal in such a country would be than almost any run since the inauguration of the sport in Queens county, As it happened, the fox hunted, though a “bagman,” would seem to have ‘acted as it at home hereabouts, Perhaps, indeed, he ‘Was @ native, though pot to the manner born’ THE MEKT, ‘ The place ol rendezvous was Mineola Court House, which is located about a mile west of Mincola etation. To this point carriages trom the country side crowded by the dozen about noon. The horsemen who were to Participate in the chase came riding up soon after, In Pink were Sr, E, Zvorowski, Mr. Belmont Puray, Mr. Robert Center, and, later on, Mr. Griswold and the whipper-in. In black woro Mr. Clarence Levey, Mr. Frost, Mr, Crussman and Mr, Ticehurst (two latter of Huntington), Mr, Townsend Verey on a white polo pony, Mr, Hosfeld on a Queens county horse that carried a “pad” ut the previous hunt. Mr. Hinckling, of ‘Brooklyn, and his son, roae @ match team on the Toad, Cooney, the jockey, was up on Stumpmaster, and three or four other jockeys aud grooms and some country boys also joined the field, Atriend of Mr, Mortimer rode his horse, There was also one lady out on Borseback, Avout half a scoro of the neighbors loltered in the Court House greeu, and two or three pt the villagers bad climbed to the little bell tower On the roof of the Court House, hoping to have a glimpse of the start from their elevated position, Along the road in front were strung out between twenty aud thirty light wagons in readigess to follow as far as a view could bo obtained. When the Huntsman and his hounds cast up as they did promptly at the appointed hour no time was lost in getting off. The direction taken from the rendezvous was northward, and the start was In a Wood about a mile from the Court House. Ai this péint the entire line of onlookers in the carriages bad a good view. They saw the hounds turow off, heard their merry music and saw the horse. men fly the first fences, “PORWAKD |”? FORWARD”? ‘The chase led northwest from tb cled custward, then doubied, and after many windings finally ended with about a mile of Mantusset Atter the first balf mile several very stiff fences in- tervening #ervel prebiy well to weed out the ficid, Duta check soon ensuing, and the conveuient roads utlording the bindermast, Who would otherwise have Deon thrown out aliogetuer, a chance to cut off cor- ners, most of the horsemen were up when we bounds ufter the first check lett a strip of wood on a hillside, about —throo or four mit from Mineola, unt pursuing the chase more rapidly into tue open, were presently oit again in full ery. Similar dashes and similar Suecks succeeded oue another on plain aud woodiand to the Gnish, the fox fually getting away aiter passing through the last wood und crossing a running stream Uhat skirted it, Here the hounds lost the scent, and though the heighbortioot was pretty well searched the (ox was not discovered. ‘Iwo or three water leaps were taken in the course of the run, and these, with a fow brush levees, were the only unusual jumps of the day. ‘The rest was the regular old post and rail busi- ness, Some of these latter jumps were high enough to impound a large,preportion of the field at times, but the removal of a rail or the touching of one slightly decayed generally: brougot the fe: low enough jor the poorest jumper, A little perseverance, w litie piuck, good Judgment and a quick eye often nolps one worly Mounted to make u better figure in the hunt ug Held thud a thoughtiess borseman would make on ® Uret class hunter, Tbe time has now come for the exercise of these qualities after the Queens county hounds, Several borses that foliow the hounds regu. larly uro already very nundy at their timber, Others, though out only afew Umes, are still green and not dn tbe very best condition. Both kinds are crowded loward the sume gap, if there chance to be one, by their rider’, and as the spaces between the posts of most of the fences bereubouts are uot always wide enough for two to jump together, this Habit 18 not to be commended, | Lt would be saler and betier vy far for the tield to spread out und take the fence ut some other point. Iv moreover detains those who are not wt the very frout of the chase, Over “blind”? hedges this would be au exceedingly dangerous thing tu do, aud in case of a “cropper” would prove disastrous to the foremost rider. Fortu- nately bo accident bas resulted trom it so tar, but cauuon should iuereage as vhe fletds become largor. The uext meet will be at New Cassel Wood, next Saturday, at one o’clock P, M, Those intending to participate will need to leave Garden City or Mineola About LoD. ‘The uuut bali which ts to be grvon tothe farmers over whose lund the Queens county tiounds have huutea will be beld at Garden City Hotel on thanks. giving Eve, It is expected to be an interesting affair, ui which the Queens county foiks will do thomseiy Juli justice and show the interest with which the new sport is received by them. ‘I'he invitations are soon to be issued, Un Thanksgiving Day—tbe day al the ‘bail—there will be a sweil m tho rendézvous to be at Garden City.

Mr, Ingersoli, on behaif of plaintif, argued Loat the statements of the angwer lakcu in conuection with tue evidence of the empoyés of tie Cartridge Manulacturing Company, who acted as agents for the plaintiff in the premises, show that that the 152,000 bad, pending the war be- tween Frauce and Prassia, been delivered ut the French steamer.

He furtuer in- sisted that apy shipment of them had been at the risk of plaintitl or bi agent; that it was the proper course, because the evidence tended to show that the plaiutiff bud acted in & mauner not consistent with his ofice; that as’ iwid down by ex-President Woolsey and other authorities on tuternational luw ib was contra boas mores and illegal by such law for a private trader upon the soil of a neutral country to engage io traffic, the object of which Was to Uruish one of LWwo Warring peoples with gun cartrigges, being articles coutraband of war, Ln this connection Mr. Chittenden read au extract from ex-Prosident Woolrey, declaring ‘hat the same wroug 1s done when a private trader does au as Woulu be dove Should the neusral country itself $0 Yio.ate pood {aith, Much more, be clauned, thau this aight be said inthe case of a consul general, He stated in a yn that he wag prepared with numerous authoritl pon the point, but the Court stated that without passing upon it disinissal would be granted upon the first meutioned grouud.
