HUNTING at Myopia had been going on for more than fifteen 

 years when, in 1 895, a number of gentlemen formed themselves 

 into an association known as the Norfolk Hunt, and elected 

 Mr. Joseph Balch to the Mastership. As all these gentlemen were mem- 

 bers of the Dedham Polo Club, the newly formed Hunt at first made its 

 headquarters there ; the Master finding good open country over which to lay 

 his drag. In those days there was no fox-hunting at Norfolk and there were 

 only about half a dozen followers in the Field. 



The first draft of hounds was bought at the Rugby sale in England, and 

 these were later recruited by some good drafts from the Montreal. The 

 Hunt throve and prospered like the proverbial green bay tree, and the Fields 

 grew in size in the four years during which Mr. Balch ruled over the pack, 

 and then, business duties taking too much of his time, he reluctantly resigned.
