158 RADNOR REMINISCENCES 



finding out later on that they were the Rose Tree, having 

 brought a fox over from Broadlawn.

 Hounds not having had anything top-hole for so long, 

 owing to the bad weather, it was a relief to-day to see them 

 really go, even if the going was such that a horse could 

 barely live with them. It was quite knee-deep in places 

 and in good shoe-pulling mud. 



Meeting at the Happy Creek Farms barn at one-thirty, 

 hounds found very shortly in the swamp back of Mrs. 

 McGovern's, and, crossing the Paoli Road, raced into Dr. 

 Bartholomew's, crossing the Leopard road into Lockwood's 

 Hollow, and on to Cathcart's Rocks, to Fairy Hill, then 

 straight up-country to Miss Hook's corner, where they 

 gave it up, scent failing completely. 



It was a seven-and-a-quarter-mile point, done in fifty- 

 three minutes, which, considering the condition of the 

 ground, was not bad at all. Hounds never dwelt a mo- 

 ment from the time they found. 



There was only a small field out; besides the Master, 

 there being: Miss Ellen Mary Cassatton "Hopewell"; Miss 

 Eugenia Cassatt on "Lord Culpepper"; the Secretary, 

 Walter Stokes; Gerry Leiper; Nelson Buckley; and Arthur 

 Meigs.

Although the going to-day was hock-deep in places and 

 fetlock-deep everywhere, hounds ran and horses galloped 

 an hour and twenty-five minutes in the hilliest part of our 

 country. But the air had a good crisp snap to it, and, if 

 hounds checked a moment on the windy hilltops, one had 

 to keep on the move at once to keep from shivering.
