A FOXHUNTING JOURNAL 145 



Coming towards home from the far side, " Wolferton," who 

 was well up in front, had a bad time in the creek, losing 

 about twenty lengths; then "Bill" Whaley turned upside 

 down with "Andy Porter," a nasty-looking fall, but with 

 no bad results. "Royal" fizzed out at the top of the hill 

 and " Eddie " Cheston pulled him up, leaving " Whirlwind " 

 and "Wolferton" to fight it out; but " Wolferton " had a 

 good deal the best of it and won quite easily; Ralph B. 

 Strassburger thereby getting a leg on the Radnor Valley 

 Farm Challenge Cup. 



R.H.R. "Bint" Toland won the second race, the Mas- 

 ter's Cup, with "Lakewood," from a field of eight; after 

 which every one went either to Mrs. Brown's luncheon or 

 back to the Club to lunch with the farmers. 



At three o'clock hounds met at the kennels, with about 

 forty in the field, and nearly as many following in mo- 

 tors. After drawing up-country for an hour, a fox went 

 away in front of hounds from Harrison's meadow, and, just 

 as our pack spoke to the line, we saw Donnon's hounds 

 running up-country in the opposite direction. Radnor 

 hounds came up to the Donnon pack with a beautiful cry 

 and evidently scared his mongrel curs out of their wits, 

 for they scattered in all directions; so we rode on through 

 them down-country to the John Brown farm, on down 

 to Yarnall's Hollow, where our fox turned right-handed 

 up-country again, by the race track and on through Cal- 

 vert's, hounds marking their fox to ground on the hillside 

 opposite Mrs. McGovern's, just at dusk, and after a very 

 nice thirty-three minutes' gallop. 



Some of those hunting were: The Master; Mrs. Straw- 

 bridge and Bob, Jr.; Mr. Beale; "Bint" Toland; Ben 

 Chew; William M. Kerr; William Foster Reeve and his 

 bride, from Rose Tree; Gardner Cassatt; Gerry and Mrs. 

 Leiper; Harry Barclay; and Charley and Mrs. Munn.
