62 RADNOR REMINISCENCES 



over the hill and back to the Barrens, where he again 

 turned and was viewed, being coursed and nearly caught 

 by one hound, the main body of the pack being a couple 

 of fields behind. 



He took hounds once more to Evans's meadow (what a 

 persistent lover he was!), then evidently decided to go to 

 his home earth and wait for things to quiet down, for he 

 swung up-country to Miss Hook's, crossed into the swamp, 

 and, turning left-handed into Delchester, we viewed him 

 again, and this time thought he had met an untimely end, 

 for he came up over the brow of a hill face to face with two 

 of Dr. Ashton's terriers. The terriers rolled him over, but 

 he was up and at them and whipped them both, dis- 

 appearing along the hillside. Hounds had checked a 

 moment in the wood, but, on coming out, marked this gal- 

 lant lover to earth in the next field. As he had given us a fair 

 two hours and forty minutes, the Masters called it a day. 



Out of a field of fifty, there were left at the end only: 

 the two Masters; Miss Eugenia Cassatt; Fred Sturges on 

 "Pocono"; Mrs. Sturges on "Frosty"; Dave Sharp on a 

 colt by "Master of Croft"; Mrs. Sharp on "Ovation"; 

 Harry and Miss Barclay; Mr. Beale; Ben Holland on 

 "Jim Bludso"; Lawrence Bodine; Clyde John; Lem 

 Altemus; Harold Wilcox; Buck on the "Iron Woman"; 

 Miss Margaret Hopper; Mr. Kerr on a big rangy thorough- 

 bred bay; Henry and Mrs. Collins; and Miss Ellen Mary 

 Cassatt, going brilliantly on her brother's "Greymaster."

It was a pretty raw sort of morning when Alec Brown and 

 I left home to motor to Marshallton to the joint meet of 

 the Brandywine and Pickering.
