 Howard Davison of the Altamont Stock Farm maintained a 

 small private pack in the late nineties which was used for a season or two 

 for drag- and hare-hunting. In August, 1 907, a draft of six couples of Eng- 

 lish foxhounds was imported by Mr. Charles C. Marshall, and these, aug-

 Master of the Watchung Hunt, were established in kennels at Millbrook. 

 A number of the residents of the neighborhood, all of whom owned large 

 estates, subscribed to the maintenance of the pack, among them being Mrs. 

 Daniel S. Lamont and the Messrs. Oakleigh Thome, L. Stuart Wing, H. 

 H. Flagler, Barnes Compton, H. Louis Slade, J. T. Tower, J. Morgan Wing, 

 and H. R. McLean. Mr. Charles C. Marshall, who owns the pack, was

 Honorary Huntsman to the Watchung, consented to act in the latter capacity
