Telephone South 420, * Picturesque Meets of the Hounds Are Pleasing Sporting Spectacles. Down in San Mateo County wealthy sportsmen are supporting the only pack of draghounds in all the West. Owing to their proximity to the city they can hunt neither foxes nor hares, so the draghounds afford excellent sport. The hunt means a spirited gallop of from ten to fifteen miles across country, with many intervening jumps to be nego- tiated. These are substantial board af- fairs and range in height from three and a half to five feet, enough to test the courage of man and horse. The San Mateo County Hunt is not intended to be an exclusive affair. It would afford the members of the gov- erning committee the greatest satis- faction to see large fields of well- mounted” horsemen out each Wednes- day and Saturday during the season. The club is in a particularly satisfac- tory condition, as its drag is laid over friendly territory, all of which is in large holdings. The magnitude of hunting in Eng- land may be gauged when it is said that $50,000,000 is invested in the sport. The horses alone represent a value of more than half a million dollars.” Ow- ing to the growing use of wire fencing in England many hunting men are turning to Ireland. That the sport means much to that country is shown by a writer who says: "It would be a black day indeed for Ireland if it should@ ever come to pass that hunting be abolished.” J. Downey Harvey performs the duties of master of the San Mateo hounds. His democratic ideas, coupled with his modesty and his kindliness, will not allow him to bear the honor- able title, which means so much to European sportsmen. B Among the regulars at the meets are Mr. Harvi and his daughters, Miss Anita and Genevieve: F. J. Caro- lan, Colonel Dunn, W. S. Hobart, R. M. Tobin,. Leon Bocqueraz, John Law- son and J. F. Sidebottom. Charley Dun- phy, on Del Monte, was the neatest horseman that ever followed the San Mateo hounds. He had the lightest of hands and a jaunty balance seat. With larger fields it would not be long before many riders would live up to White Melville's lines: Give me the one to whom naught comes amiss with one horse or another, that country or this; Who, with falls and bad starts undauntedly still Rides up to the motto—Be with them I will. The drag hunt was introduced to Amerfca in 1874 by Robert Smyth, mas- ter of the Imokilby Harriers, Lisquinlan House, C.stlemartyr, County Cork, Ire- land. It was at his suggestion, made to Hamilton Busbey of the Turf, Field and Farm, that a pack was organized which finally became the now famous Meadowbrook Hunt. If banks of sod ‘were substituted for the one panel in the rail fences, where the Ifne of scent is 1aid in San Mateo g:::gy t:uu;‘ could be mo finer hunting n America. The ung is chiefly undulating pasture with uZt = pebble in it. Under normal conditions the scent holds well and the hounds race away as though they enjoyed the rare sport. It is possible some of the hunts could be improved if the drag boy laid a more 21gzag course and not one in a straight line across the fields. One of the chief pleasures of hunting o watch the hounds make their ca: they follow the scent. This would also give horses and riders a chance to" catch thelr breath, in addition to the time afforded them by the check, which is usually made during each run. A ‘high-priced horse is not necessary for the enjoyment of the hunt. A bunt- (% kenstein’'s Sulu, E. J. Fitzgerald's Rest- less and F. Garrisse's Lark. The directors and many of the mem- bers of the S8an Francisco Yacht Club believe the resignation of the score or so of dissatisfied members is a good thing for all parties concerned. They say the founders of the new club have attempted during the past two seasons to hold independent cruises, dances and other entertainments and to create a club within a club. Dr. T. L. Hill, owner of the fast sloop Queen and a former commodore of the San Francls- co Yacht Club, tried hard to have the name of W. W. Haley as candidate for the office of port captain placed by the — er costing $125 will give as much satis- faction as one costing thousands of pounds. Fabulous prices are paid for seasoned hunters in England by men like F. J. Mackey, who will stop at nothing to gecure the best. Francis J. Carolan, the master of Crossways, creates a sensation in the English hunting fleld with Vidette, a hunter he bought in the Génesee Val- ley. This proved one of the best jump- ers and weight carriers in the country. Mr. Carolan was offered a long price for his favorite, but refused it. Jerry Keating, the clever huntsman of the San Mateo Hounds, originally took out a large pack. The result was there were hounds in every fleld along the line of the hunt. This afforded men who merely “hunted to ride” an oppor- tunity of getting between the leaders and the body of the pack. They foiled .scent with their steaming horses and unfairly tested tlie patlence of the mas- ter of the hunt. This is changed now, and a small pack of selected hounds of equal pace is taken out.” It is unfortunate the San Mateo hounds are not more musical, as that term is understood by hunting men. It they gave tongue they would enliven the. rt notieeably. They lack the thril melody of the English packs, which are: m_nfimfinnmu each undar aseh. | DOSIt. years old, who was married a year ago in Japan by photograph to R.

If she is found to have that contagious disease of the eyes she will be denied a landing and will be deported to Japan without an opportunity of an in- terview with her husband, whom she has never seen.

He failed to bring his fellow members of the nominating com- mittee round to this view, and, having done what seemed to him to be in the best interests of the San Francisco Yacht Club, will remain a member of the organization with which he has been connected for many years and to which he has rendered much valuable service. The Queen will be thorough- 1y overhauled before the opening of the season; her cabin will be renovated and fitted with new cushions. The founders of the Golden Gate Yacht Club say that they have no prejudice nor ill-feeling against the San Francisco Yacht Club. The flag of the new club consists of two triangles of blue with a white star in each: a chevron of white and a red diamond forming the point. ————————— Seeks to Save Her Gold.
