THE Westchester County Hunt was founded under the title of the 

 "Country Club Harriers "in the summer of 1 886, and at that time 

 Mr. F. O. Beach was Master. They were the first pack to be 

 established in Westchester County, although in 1 88 1 and 1 882 the Queens 

 County Draghounds, with Mr. F. Gray Griswold as Master, tried the coun- 

 try with a view to making a permanent stay, having their kennels at the 

 " Castle " in New Rochelie. 



As we have seen in the history of the Meadow Brook Hunt, Mr. Gris- 

 wold did not find that portion of the Westchester country which he hunted 

 to his liking, but the seed of sport which he had sown had taken root, and 

 eventually, through the generosity of Mr J. M. Waterbury, President of the 

 then new Country Club, a pack of harriers was imported from England. 

 Mr. Beach hunted this pack for one year, showing good sport, and turned 

 them over to Mr. H. N. Potter in the spring of 1 887. The country at this 

 time was limited in area, the kennels being at the wrong end of the county,
