ONE of the younger Hunts in the vicinity of Charlottesville, Vir- 

 ginia, is the Blue Run, whose kennels are located at Waverly 

 Farm, in Somerset, Orange County. In December 1 905, a num- 

 ber of gentlemen, landowners who controlled most of the hunting country 

 around Somerset and who had been hunting from time to time wdth the 

 Charlottesville and Keswick packs, came to the conclusion that they might 

 as well support a Hunt of their own and, joining together under the Presidency 

 of Mr. William DuPont, formed the Blue Run Hunt. 



The officers elected at that time were William DuPont, Esq., of Orange, 

 President and Treasurer; George Barbour, Esq., of Somerset, Secretary, and 

 James N. Andrews, Esq., of Somerset, M. F. H. These gentlemen still 

 continue in office and the Master, now in his fourth season, has got together 

 an excellent pack of eighteen couples of English hounds.
