 County Hunt, organized in 1877, at Orange, N. J., 

 hunted in Essex and Union Counties until 1890; 

 since then it is a private pack, with subscription 

 privileges, located at Morristown, 1890- 1893; 

 since then permanent. It is a post and rail coun- 

 try, mainly drag hunting, the riders average 

 twenty men ; very few ladies turn out, the country 

 being too stiff and the coverts too thick and large 

 to permit wild-fox hunting successfully, which 

 sport is followed with varying success during the 

 winter months, but it is not a regular fixture. 

 Part of the pack is hunted annually at Southamp- 

 ton, L. L, during September and October.
