A FOXHUNTING JOURNAL 151 



Finally, just beyond Goshen School, we met a farmer who 

 said hounds had gone on towards Hershey's Mill, and, gal- 

 loping through John Sullivan's farm, we heard them on our 

 left; but, by the time we reached the Mill, hounds were 

 out of hearing again; then, on going out the King Road, 

 we heard them in a wood; but a very angry woman would 

 not let us cross her farm, so we had to do more road work 

 and make a detour up to the Convent; turning left-handed 

 and crossing the railroad beyond Morestein Station, we 

 came up with hounds in the Morestein Wood, they having 

 marked their fox in a drain. Sam Kirk on a mare Dr. Ash ton 

 loaned him. Bill Evans, Jr., and Mrs. Strawbridge were the 

 only ones with hounds near the end; all the rest of us be- 

 ing quite off to one side. There were about twenty left of 

 the sixty-two that started, and a muddier lot I never saw. 

 Hounds ran sixty-five minutes, making a five-mile point, 

 and covering, according to my map and measuring instru- 

 ment, about twelve miles. 



The fog settled down again, it began to drizzle, and the 

 eighteen miles home looked pretty long to me, when a cer- 

 tain beautiful but much mud-bespattered lady came down 

 a lane and cheered me on my way. I remembered my 

 sandwich case, so we had a bite to eat and a smoke, and let 

 our faithful horses walk for two hours, when I accepted a 

 very delightful invitation to tea and sent my good horse 

 "Poacher" on home by my servant. 



Among those at the breakfast and hunting were: Mrs. 

 Archibald Thomson, motoring; Mr. Davis S. B. Chew on 

 "Cambridge"; The Master; John H. Converse; "Randy" 

 Snowden; Henry and Mrs. Collins; Edward Ilsley, in a 

 motor; the Misses Beatrice and "Diana" deCoppet; Ned 

 Blabon; Dave and Mrs. Sharp; Bob and Mrs. Strawbridge 

 and Bob, Jr. ; Mr. Beale: Ben Holland; Max Livingston, Jr.,
