i6 RADNOR REMINISCENCES 



However, I'm off my track again, for I started out to 

 tell about the last run of the season. Hounds met at the 

 Kennels at ten o'clock, and found a cold line in the 

 Bromall Wood, with scent very catchy and a hound only 

 speaking to it here and there, until they had worked down 

 to Powder Rocks, where they were able to do it a bit 

 faster. Crossing into Moore's, they evidently were on 

 pretty close terms with their fox, for they went very fast, 

 and turned right-handed out across the meadows to the 

 Milk House on the Springfield Road, then, swinging 

 around, raced back to the Lawrence Mills, crossed the 

 Pike, through Bergdoll's to the creek, and here most of the 

 field made the mistake of going through Bergdoll's with 

 hounds, so were all tied up in wire. A few of us crossed 

 the Pike at the Hillcrest Farm, getting on even terms with 

 hounds as they came up the creek. Crossing the Marple 

 Road above Sanderson's, hounds fairly raced over the 

 hills to the Chester Road and on through Saw Mill Hill to 

 the Radnor Barrens, where we had our first check. It was 

 hot and our horses were boiling, so was Alex. Brown, for 

 he had a painful carbuncle on his neck. 



There were only eight of us there, out of a field of 

 twenty-eight: Horace Hare; Harry Harrison; Alex. Brown; 

 Antelo Devereux and Mrs. Devereux; Gerry Leiper; and 

 Will Leverton. 



Scent seemed to fail from here on, for, after crossing 

 Bryn Mawr Avenue into the Hospital Farm, hounds were 

 put to their noses all the time; the line fizzing out com- 

 pletely near Old Square.
