Hunt Clubs. 211 



runs are generally had, the country carrying good 

 scent. About fifteen men and two or three ladies 

 turn out at each meet. 



The Harkaway Hunt, organized in 1903, is a 

 worthy successor to the Pittsburg Hunt, organ- 

 ized in 1899. Mr. Frank M. Lowry is the Mas- 

 ter, and Hon. Waltey Lyon the President. The 

 fourteen couples contain American, English, and 

 Irish hounds. Semi-weekly hunts, alternating 

 drag and wild foxes, are held from September 

 to May 1st, in the vicinity of Donald, Pa. 



Mr. Edward Crozer, the Master of the Up- 

 land Hunt Club, furnishes good sport to its sixty 

 members, few of whom, however, avail them- 

 selves of it, hunting eighteen couples of American 

 hounds on native foxes, from October to March 

 1st. Delaware County (Pa.), the hunting 

 ground, is rather hilly and stiff, in which post 

 and rail fences abound. 



The hunting fever reached the Pacific Coast 

 in 1900, at which time the Portland Hunt Club 

 was organized. The drag pack of ten couples of 

 American hounds are run under the Mastership 

 of Mr. T. S. McRath. Fifty of the 125 members 

 are generally in the saddle, and though the coun- 

 try is brushy, the log and low rail fences make 

 it an easy one for cross-country riding. Many 

 ladies grace the occasion of each meet with their 

 presence.
