A FOXHUNTING JOURNAL 115 



breakfast for the farmers, nor horse show nor races, and, 

 owing to the war economies, hounds even were not sched- 

 uled to go out; but, thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Bob 

 Strawbridge, the governors decided to let hounds go out 

 in order to give the officers, who were home from Camp 

 Meade for the day, a bit of sport. 



Major Francis V. Lloyd, I mounted on "Tommy"; 

 Nelson Buckley lent "Duster" to Lieutenant George 

 Brooke; Miss Alexandra Dolan mounted Lieutenant Bill 

 Corcoran on "Sloe Gin"; the Cassatts gave Lieutenant 

 Clifton Lisle a horse; Lieutenant Bobby Strawbridge was 

 on his father's "Radnor"; Lieutenant Harry Barclay on 

 Miss Barclay's "Sandy"; Captain Clarence H. Clark III 

 and Lieutenant Gurnee Munn were also among the offi- 

 cers out. 



There was quite a bit of snow on the ground, but the 

 going was fairly good, and fortunately we found a fox in 

 Yarnall's Hollow. He went out the upper side of the 

 covert, over the hill and on across the Wyola Road into 

 the farm "Pick" Harrison used to have. Hounds checked 

 here a moment, ran into the wood, and, turning left- 

 handed, crossed the brook, then on at a nice galloping 

 pace over the Newtown Road, into the field opposite the 

 Harrison Meadows, then out to Hector NcNeal's on the 

 Paoli Road, where they turned down-country again and 

 crossed into Happy Creek Farms to the Old Mill, where 

 we had a good view of our fox, a rather small one. Turn- 

 ing again, hounds sank the vale and swung up-country 

 again, practically over the same line as before, then 

 down-country once more through Mr. John Brown's wood 

 and on into Yarnall's Hollow, where he must have gone 

 to ground in the rocks, but hounds did not mark him 

 under.
