IJ2 FOX HUNTING. 



seasons of trial satisfied Mr. Farnum and the mem- 

 bers of the club that the English hound could not 

 compete with the American in our hunting fields, 

 either in nose, voice, or endurance, and the ex- 

 periment was not a success. 



The Radnor Club, of this county, after their 

 organization, experimented with a pack of English 

 hounds for several years, but, for some reason, are 

 now doing their hunting with American hounds 

 only. 



LADY RIDERS. 



Ladies rode with the Rose Tree Club hounds 

 as far back as 1878, and for several years after, and 

 they were as daring lady riders as the American 

 hunting field has ever had. Many stories are told 

 by the old hunters how fences and walls, that were 

 refused by the less bold gentlemen riders, were 

 fearlessly taken in a flying leap by these ladies. 



WELLS ROGERS, HUNTSMAN. 



Wells Rogers, usually called "Doc" Rogers, 

 was appointed Huntsman of the pack in Novem- 

 ber, 1878, and has filled the position to the present 

 time, having full charge of the feeding and care of 

 the hounds in the kennel, and of the hunting of 

 them in the field: and so long has he thus served, 

 as well as in taking charge of the club house, that 

 he seems to be a part and parcel of the club.
