SEASON OF 1918-1919 



The second season of war-time hunting naturally found 

 Radnor better able to see its way more clearly than at first. 

 The War Master had settled the question of " carrying on," 

 and did "carry on" in a most excellent and business-like 

 manner. He adjusted his methods to his means and pre- 

 served not only the outward appearance of the sport, but 

 also the fine spirit and traditions of the Radnor kennels. 



At the close of the previous season. Will Leverton had 

 entered the Service, and Mr. Bodine was fortunate in get- 

 ting Radnor's ex-huntsman. Will Davis, for the duration 

 of the war; but he was much more fortunate in having 

 that most popular and splendid horsewoman. Miss Ellen 

 Mary Cassatt, as whipper-in for a large part of the time. 



Sport was quite good the season through, I'm told, so 

 much so, in fact, that at its close the Master was given a 

 complimentary dinner in recognition of the sport he had 

 shown, and an effort made to persuade him to retain the 

 Mastership another year. 



A good many of us happened to have done our bit for 

 our country with the Remount Branch of the Army, and 

 to all of them I am sure the following poem by W. J. 

 Ogilvie, which appeared in "The Horse and the War," 

 will recall many interesting moments: 



THE REMOUNT TRAIN 



Every head across the bar, 

 Every blaze and snip and star. 

 Every nervous, twitching ear. 

 Every soft eye filled with fear.
