PROBABLY more Hunts flourish around Philadelphia to-day than in 

 any other portion of the country, and the Upland Hunt, now Mr. 

 Crozer's private pack, is one of the most recent of these. 



In 1900, Mr. Crozer and Mr. J. Howard Lewis, Jr., whose father was 

 one of the founders of the Rose Tree Fox Hunting Club, supplied a long- 

 felt want by starting the Upland Flunt in a section of the country which, 

 up to that time, had not been hunted by an organized pack of hounds. 

 Messrs. Crozer and Lewis, as well as a number of other residents, had been 

 hunting the country in an irregular manner for several years, and when the 

 organization was started it was joined by pretty much everybody around the 

 country. Mr. Crozer, who was elected M. F. H., owned most of the 

 hounds, many of them bemg part of a pack owned and maintained by one 

 branch of his family in Delaware County, Maryland, for the last seventy- 

 five years. 



The Upland hounds are hunted by Abner Garrett, a typical American 

 huntsman, who handles them in the good old-fashioned method which has 

 been in force in America since time immemonal and has not yet been dis-

 keen hound-man, taking as much interest in the work of his hounds as he
