A FOXHUNTING JOURNAL 39 



year-old he is riding has a large consignment of Chester 

 County distributed over his forehead-band and face. Mr. 

 Fuller-Beans says, in reply to your inquiry about the 

 bouleversement: "Not a bit, old cock! And he's never put 

 a foot wrong since! A real topper, and he'll make up into 

 one of the very best." And that nice, persevering young 

 bay horse does perform brilliantly in Act II, just because 

 he realizes that Mr. Fuller-Beans's heart is in the right 

 place, and that a little matter like that fall over the bit of 

 a stick that mended that gap is not the kind of thing that 

 is going to choke him off or upset his temper. However, 

 it takes all kinds of people to make up the world, and 

 most of them are pretty nice, especially the ladies. 



Hounds went cubbing for the first time in 191 5, on 

 August 31st, at five-thirty from the kennels. From then 

 on, until the opening of the season, sport was fair, with a 

 good showing of cubs, but very dry weather, which inter- 

 fered with scent at times. 



Horace B. Hare, M.F.H., Harry W. Harrison, Francis 

 V. Lloyd, and Mrs. Victor C. Mather have been the regu- 

 lars out; but the meet at Happy Creek Farms on Saturday, 

 7th November, brought out a field of forty-five. Hounds 

 met as usual on the lawn at ten o'clock; but the country 

 was so dry that scent was poor all day. Finding their 

 first fox in Innes's Wood, hounds ran to Brooks's Wood, 

 turned east and worked slowly out to the Leopard Road, 

 where they gave it up. A second fox was viewed away 

 from Dr. Bartholomew's Wood, hounds crossing the road 

 into Mr. Pepper's, then left-handed to the Delmas Farm, 

 over the White Horse Road to Innes's Wood, and on down 

 country to earth in Harrison's meadow. Hounds then 

 pushed a third fox out of Mr. John Brown's covert, but 

 could do nothing with it, so were taken home.
