TWICE a week Jim
Boyd, master of the
Weymouth hounds," and
his brother Jack and
Rodman Wanamaker II,
whips, gaily clad in the
pink colors of the Sand
hill Hunt lead the hunts
men of the district a
merry race over the countryside.
The chase takes place here and there
over the section, wherever a country
squire has squared his fences and laid
his route, and signified his pleasure in
the sound of the horn and his desire for
good company. This is known to all
men. Many a day our eyes have danced
to see the tally-ho and the gallant out
riders, and the gay cavalcade set out
from the Carolina to join the sport or
view the race.
Tuesday last the meet took place at
Charlie Williams' Farm, between here
and Southern Pines. Charlie Williams,
is the dean of fox hunters, the owner of
the champion mule of all creation, and
a local sportsman without a peer.
The trail led over fence and ditch and
across the woodland to the Van Lindley
Orchard, rolling out again into the brake
and the black jack, to end headlong at
the experimental farm above the river.
Pinehurst was well represented in the on
set. There was Miss Dorothy Barber of
Englewood, a leader in the lists of the
gymkhana and Miss Hanrahan and Miss
Wing of Boston; Mr. Blanding and Mr.
and Mrs. J. B. Murphy and Clifford Serl
of Syracuse; Mr. McGievy and Mr. and
Mrs. II. F. Fisher of Rochester; Mr.
Mattheys, winner of the tennis tourney,
and Mr. Mills.
A number of these enthusiastic horse
men took part in the games on the polo
field Monday. The scarf race was a tri
umph for Miss Dorothy Barber and Mr.
Blanding over Mrs. Tufts and Mr. Mc
Gievy, and Mrs. Leach and Mr. Weller.
Mrs. Frank North and George Leach,
M. F. II., surpassed all comers in the
Gretna Green event, including Mrs. Tufts
and Mr. Weller and Mrs. Leach and Mr.
McGievy. Miss Barber took her second
prize and the last of the day in strenuous
competition aganst both Blanding and
McGievy in a rough house horseback
known as the bow-knot contest.

THE

Trolling- Matinee II ring- Out Home
Pant Amatfuri in the LalieiT
Event
As was expected, the ladies put up the
best performance at the races Wednesday.
The dash for ladies' saddle horses re
sulted in- a magnificent race and a dead
heat between Miss Bessie Clum of Roch
ester riding Rex and Mrs. George Leach
flying on the Green Eagle. Miss Dorothy
Barber was a close third, the whole bunch
passing under the wire within a length.
The heat was run off, but proved less of
an event due to the homesick disposition
of the Green Eagle. Half way down the
course he spied a breach which reminded
him of the road to home and dinner, and
this he took, in spite of all efforts to
the contrary.
W. K. Weller on Jessie C. established
his claim to being the best amateur jockey
in the village, leading the field in the
Guests 3-8 mile dash on Jessie C. Sam
ridden by J. Mattehys of Toronto was a
close second, a head to the good of H. F.
Fisher astride Nobby. H. C. Blanding
and C. G. McGievy on Hattie also ran.
At least one surprise was sprung in
the open trotting event. There were
three heats, and Are Am Bee, back, in
form, was the favorite. The first race
threw Swinerton, driving the famous
horse, almost into a panic. He was fair
ly and squarely beaten by a small mar
gin by Fred Patchin, driven by Thomas,
with Red Bird, McCauley's favorite, third.
The next heat however re-established the
expected order, Are Am Bee leading them
all, and Red Bird still last. The third
heat was a trimuph for Red Bird in the
race for second place, Patching dropping
his laurels.
There were six entries for Colonel Swi-
gert 's cup in the steeple chase. Nat Hurd
was up on Travellor, Vernon rode Welch's
Jav Bird, Jack Boyd entered Gladiator
from the Weymouth stables, M. N.
Suffffs Dut in his new thoroughbred, Dan,
with H. Cameron in the saddle, Batchelor
and G. Cameron rode Tufts' Miriam H.
and George.
It was a rjretty race, with Miriam M.
leading most of the way, and finishing
strong a length ahead of Nat Hurd urg
ing Travellor to the limit, triaaiator
was third.
