A FOXHUNTING JOURNAL 147 



ing right back of him, jumped over both Bunny and his 

 pony. 



On the lower side of the Rocks, scent improved, hounds 

 racing down-country through the meadows back of the Leo- 

 pard to the Leiper Farm, and crossing the road into the 

 swamp to a sHght check on the far side, when they carried 

 it on to the Baker Farm, hounds marking their fox to earth 

 in the rocks on the hilltop, after a very nice forty-three 

 minutes. 



The going had been pretty heavy part of the way, and 

 every one being wet from the rain, the Master called it a 

 day, and hounds were taken in. A pipe of good tobacco 

 and a hack back to kennels with Ben Chew completed one 

 of the best days of the season to date. 



Among those in the field were: The Master; Mrs. Straw- 

 bridge; Bob Strawbridge, Jr.; Henry and Mrs. Collins; 

 Dave and Mrs. Sharp and Bunny; Count Frassau; Mrs. 

 Dorothy Taylor, of New York; "Mac" Kennedy, of New 

 York; Miss deCoppet; Ned Blabon; Ned Dougherty; Ben 

 Holland; Mrs. Gurnee Munn; Mrs. Charley Munn; Ben 

 Chew; Bob Montgomery; Miss Helen Hope Montgomery; 

 Frank Voss, of New York; Lowber and Walter Stokes; 

 Thornton Baker; and Dick McNealy. 



The Annual Meeting of the Club in the evening dragged 

 a bit, I thought. The absence of several flights of cock- 

 tails before dinner and of an unlimited supply of cham- 

 paigne during the meal did not tend to increase the con- 

 viviality of the evening. 



Messrs. Thomas G. Ashton, Charlton Yarnall, and Fran- 

 cis V. Lloyd were elected to the Board of Governors to 

 serve three years, replacing Messrs. Robert E. Straw- 

 bridge, Charles A. Munn, Jr., and J. Stanley Reeve, 

 whose terms expired.
