A FOXHUNTING JOURNAL 141 



The racing at Pickering was fair; the Point-to-Point be- 

 ing quite the best, and won and well ridden by "Bint" 

 Toland on his " Standpoint," by " Jack Point " out of " Gold 

 Lady," who seemed to have lots up his sleeve at the finish. 



The Pickering Challenge Cup had six starters. Welsh 

 Strawbridge on "Riverbreeze"; Clarence Kline on "Rus- 

 kin"; "Gerry" Leiper on R. B. Strassburger's "Wolfer- 

 ton II"; Tommy Wright on "Whirlwind"; Andy Porter 

 on Bill Clothier's "Aldrian"; and "Bint" Toland on 

 "Lake- wood." 



It was a nice race until two, " Riverbreeze " and "Lake- 

 wood," went down at the fence after crossing the brook;

 and, in the mix-up, Gerry Leiper broke a stirrup leather, 

 putting him out, and "Ruskin" and "Aldrian" were left 

 to fight it_out, "Aldrian " finally winning.

 mile point and a very stout fox in front of hounds. 



In drawing up-country we crossed into Hog Lane and 

 worked up to the Hershey 's Mill Wood, where Ben Chew, 

 on the hillside just above the millpond, viewed a big "dog 

 fox," as he described it, sitting out in the open. He hol- 

 loaed and hounds were brought through the wood, owning 

 the line at once, swinging right-handed into the wood, 

 then out and down the hill into the meadow, when they 

 turned down-country, racing up the opposite hill. 



Just as hounds went away, accidents began to happen, 

 so some of us had a bad start. Mr. Bodine in going through
