A FOXHUNTING JOURNAL 93 



Rose Tree, as Sam Riddle said. They had quite the de- 

 sired effect; pink like the Rose Tree, or green like the 

 Radnor pastures, it made no difference! Every one 

 loved every one else and the food was good; what more 

 could foxhunters ask after two good runs? 



Mrs. Jackson, of Rose Tree, brought Miss Blanche Ring, 

 who, after speeches by Mr. Beale, Mr. Riddle, Mr. Jack- 

 son, and Mr. Chew, sang several of her favorite songs, in- 

 cluding that wonderful "Rings on her fingers and bells on 

 her toes," which was quite the hit of the day. Sam Riddle 

 then sang the "Sign of the Rose." Several people wept, 

 but Roy Jackson saved the situation by bringing in a tame 

 fox on a lead. It was fed on the table, then led around the 

 grounds and put safely away; the kennel doors thrown 

 open and the whole Rose Tree pack came out with a roar. 

 They picked up the line with a burst of music that could 

 be heard for miles, ran it halfway round, and then went 

 off down-country all on their own, but evidently on the 

 line of another fox, and finally disappeared over the hill- 

 tops, undoubtedly having the time of their young lives. 



Among those hunting and at the luncheon were: The 

 Master and Mrs. Jackson of Rose Tree; the Master and 

 Mrs. Chew of Radnor; the Master and Mrs. Riddle of 

 Mr. Riddle's hounds; Mr. Beale; Mrs. Snowden; Walter 

 and Mrs. Jeffords; Mrs. Victor C. Mather; Mrs. J. Stanley 

 Reeve; Bob and Miss Montgomery; Laurence Bodine; 

 William F. Reeve and Foster Reeve; Leander Riddle; 

 Misses Ellen Mary and Eugenia Cassatt; Mr. Kerr; 

 Walter and Mrs. Roach; Frank Lloyd; F. Wallis Arm- 

 strong; Gardner Cassatt, Emanuel Hey; Eddie Dale; Ned 

 Blabon; Nelson Buckley; John Converse; Lem Altemus; 

 Geo. Brooke III; and Wm. Churchman.
