THE RADNOR 



Now they'll mark, — which is more than they'd do before." So much for 

 the improvement in the work of the Radnor under Davis. It is to be hoped 

 that he will have equal success in breeding for straightness and levelness. 



At Radnor, only the native fox is hunted. The season opens about 

 October 15th with cub-hunting (the meets being scheduled at sunrise), un- 

 til about November 10th, when the regular hunting starts and continues 

 until the middle of March. Barring times when the snow may be too deep, 

 or the ground too soft to gallop over without cutting up grass fields, the pack 

 is hunted regularly throughout the season. The Radnor country is rolling, 

 with lots of cover, and foxes are, and always have been plentiful. 



The farmers owning the land hunted over are all more or less interested 

 in the sport, sometimes joining in the hunts and often appearing in the fields 

 and giving information of the fox on the line of which the pack may be 

 working. In 1 907, Mr. W. Hmckle Smith was elected to the Mastership m 

 place of Mr. Valentine, who had resigned, and it is his hope and that of the 

 Radnor members that they long will continue to be as interested in the sport, 

 and be as good friends of the Hunt as they are at present.
