first Hunt of Manj to Come indi
cate What i in Store for De
votees of the Chase.
ANY a rare day's sport is
assured lovers of fox
hunting through the
coming of J. F. Jordan
of Greensboro, who, with
his family, is spending
the winter at the Arlington cottage. Sev
eral preliminary runs have been enjoyed
since Mr. Jordan's arrival, several weeks
ago; but the first important hunt, and
one of many to come, was held during
the week, a large party accepting Mr.
Jordan's courteous general invitation.
While no kill resulted, there were sev
eral bursts of music, which plainly indi
cate what is in store for devotees of the
sport, for Mr. Jordan's pack runs as one
hound and its music sets the blood ting
ling. In the hunt were Mr. and Mrs. Jordan,
Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Tufts, Mrs. Herbert
L. Jillson, Miss Firth, Miss Partridge,
Mr. J. Cashing Todd, Mr. T. II. Bauchle,
Jr., Mr. N. S. Hurd, and Mr. Chester U.
Palmer.
AliOUT THE HOUNDS.
Mr. Jordan's pack numbers an even
score, among the hounds being "Beck,"'
who won first in the All-age stake, and
' Belle," who took second in the Derby
(two out of five judges voting to give her
first) in the Virginia-Carolina Fox Hun
ters Association's annnal trials at Chase
City, a year ago last October.
In the All-age race were forty-three
picked hounds, representing the best of
Maine, New York, Kentucky, Virginia
and North and South Carolina, eight on
the list being Mr. Jordan's entries. The
heat lasted five hours and twenty min
utes, and at the "death'' were only ten
dogs ; the eight entered by Mr. Jordan
and two other hounds also owned by him
which had escaped from the kennels and
joined in the race !
Mr. Jordan has been a breeder of
hounds for nearly thirty years, and his
present pack represents the best strains
of Virginia and Carolina "red bones"
combined with the "Goodman" of the
famous blue grass region of Kentucky.
The result is hounds of medium size, no
table for nose, speed, endurance, voice
and intelligence.

men everywhere, for not only is he a
