A FOXHUNTING JOURNAL 95 



Hounds moved off at ten-thirty and picked up a good 

 line in Mr. Earle's wood, carrying it over the hill into Yar- 

 nall's Hollow, and, keeping Waterloo Mills on their right, 

 rolled their fox over in the McGovern meadow, after a very 

 short but fast gallop. 



Having seen a fox sitting in the wood on the upper side

 kennels and order some lanterns sent out, Sam Kirk called

 Ellen Mary Cassatt, going beautifully as usual; the Pres- 

 ident, Mr. Beale; Harry Barclay; Gardner Cassatt on 

 "Greymaster"; Miss Eugenia Cassatt on "Tango"; Miss 

 Barclay on "Sandy"; Dave and Mrs. Sharp on chestnut 

 colts; Mrs. Chew and R. Penn Smith in a motor; Mr. Hat- 

 field; R. Nelson Buckley on the "Iron Woman"; Miss 

 Sinnickson on "Uncle Joe," but with an eye on some one 

 else who was on a chestnut; Harry and Mrs. Harrison;
