 once a week, or oftener, for the hunt, but the 

 Revolutionary War for a time put a stop to the 

 sport, when President Samuel Morris and twenty- 

 one others of the club, including Thomas Leiper, 

 who was first sergeant, organized the First City 

 Troop of Philadelphia City Cavalry. Captain 

 Morris' negro slave, "Old Natty," served the club 

 as aid and master of hounds from 1769, at $50 per 

 year, and the club furnished him with a house and 

 horse, his assistant being Jack Still. The uni- 

 form of the club in 1774 was a dark brown cloth 

 coatee, with lapeled dragoon pockets, white but- 

 tons and frock sleeves, bufif waistcoat and 

 breeches, and black velvet cap. In 1775 the pack 

 consisted of thirty-one hounds, and in 1778 the 

 kennels on the Delaware near Gloucester Point
