140 RADNOR REMINISCENCES 



for as luck seems to have it, it's generally windy, cold or 

 rainy, when we get as far away from home as Goshen. 



In drawing southward from Goshen, we saw Sam Kirk's 

 hounds running up-country, our hounds harking to them 

 on the hills back of Miss Hook's, where the main body of 

 the combined packs checked for a moment; but several of 

 us saw a few hounds cross the Goshen road, below Miss 

 Hook's, into the swamp, and apparently pointing to But- 

 ton's mill, where later the rest of the two packs went, 

 making a turn there and carrying the line on back again 

 and into Fairy Hill, with the field spread all over the sur- 

 rounding country side. 



After drawing Delchester and on to the paper mill, 

 and coming back through the southerly side of Delchester, 

 another fox went away, giving a good gallop of about 

 twelve minutes to Fairy Hill, where he was marked to 

 ground at twenty minutes to one o'clock. 



It seemed that most of us down-country people had 

 ordered our cars to be at Sugartown at one, so it gave us 

 just time to hack back there, send our horses home, and 

 motor over to the Pickering Races. 



There was only a moderate field out, including the Mas- 

 ter, Miss Ellen Mary Cassatt, Ben Chew, (the Duchess) 

 Mrs. Louis Clark, Walter and Dick Stokes, Bob Mont- 

 gomery and his daughter, Henry and Mrs. Collins, Miss 

 Heckscher, Gurnee Munn, "Roddy" Wanamaker, and 

 Tom, the Ash ton Boy, Harry Barclay, and Ben Holland; 

 but, when we ran into Kirk's hounds, we also met Dave and 

 Mrs. Sharp and the Misses Beatrice and Gertrude deCop- 

 pet, of New York, who have arrived for the season. They 

 were given a great reception and a good deal of ragging 

 about being out with Kirk's hounds, when Radnor was 

 hunting the same country.
