NO portion of Long Island is better fitted by nature for cross- 

 country riding than Suffolk County. Acres on acres of good, 

 sound turf with very little cover and practically no swamps make 

 the gallopmg all that could be desired, and to these natural advantages the 

 farmers have added the cleanest of timber fences, big and stiff, but so well 

 placed that any good hunter can negotiate them. 



We have already said, in the chapter on the Essex Hounds, that Mr. 

 Pfizer had been in the habit at one time of bringing his pack down to 

 Southampton for a part of the season, and when the time came, as it did in 

 1 906, that he did not return, many of the summer colony who had estates 

 in Southampton, Water-Mill, Bridgehampton, Amagansett and Easthampton 

 found that they had become so much wedded to the sport that they could 

 not dispense with it. Accordingly, on October 1 5th of that year, Messrs. 

 Charles Coster, H. P. Robbins, W. Scott Cameron and Richard Newton, 

 Jr., representing the keenest of the hunting element, met at Southampton and 

 formed the Suffolk Hunt.
