HUNT UlLL
The Annual IlrvaLfMitt uud Itunce
on tbe Hoard 2Vxt Wk
Tuesday evening, March 7th, will be a
banner day in the annals of the village,
or there is many a valient committee will
know the reason why. For it is ordained
that casting aside each and sundry all
gloom, remorse or sorrow whatsoever each
and every the sportsmen of the environs
shall foregather at the Carolina Hotel on
pleasure bent. They shall not be denied
or disappointed.
It is the night for the Grand Hunt Ball
and Breakfast. At nine o'clock prompt
ly they will strike up the band, and the
master of the hounds, glorious to behold,
clad in the fiery rainment of the chase,
leading the eager hounds straining at the
leash, followed by those survivors of
many desperate fences, the whips of the
Sandhill Hunt, will lead the Grand March
into the dance. There will follow the
veterans of many a ride, girls in gay cos
tume, and stalwart putteed men, to
be ushered in by polo players, darl
ings of the turf. There is nothing
exclusive about this joyful occasion.
Let those who follow the hounds
follow the leaders disguised as is their
wont on those occasions. But all manner
of sportsmen and athletes, and those that
love a fair round waltz or a dizzy trot,
are welcome to join the frolic arrayed as
they are accustomed to dress for their
favorite pastime. Golfers will wear kilts
or knickerbockers or what they please.
Tennis sharks will grace the occasion in
flannels, and the huntsman in boots and
shooting coat.
And as you enter the ball room you
will be astonished and delighted. For
lo! it will be as a section of the green
wood, an exact imitation of the Forest of
Arden, all resplendent with holly and
cedar, and the long leaf pine, fancifully
wraught by the skillful hands of Mrs.
Leonard Tufts, Mrs. A. S. Newcomb,
Mrs. John C. Spring and Mrs. Parker W.
Whittemore. For these are the committee
who will transform the scene to suit the
event, for your pleasure.
Under the able command of Mrs. Daisy
Porter, Mr. George Leach, master of the
hounds, and Mr. T. B. Boyd, treasurer of
the occasion, have marshalled the services
of three other battalions a committee
on breakfast, constituted of the three
leading judges of such matters south of
Labrador, Mrs. H. W. Priest, Mrs. W. K.
Porter and Mrs. E. A. Swigert. The
music and the dancing are under the par
ticular command of Miss L. L. Gillette,
master of all matters terpsicorean, and
Mr. J. H. Clapp, cotillion leader. The
publicity, as may be observed, is in the
hands of your orator and Charlie Piquet,
non plus ultra.
This breakfast arrives at the shank of
the evening, and will crown a memorable
evening. At twelve exactly, you will es
cort your partner in to the strains of
delightful music, which we are promised
will continue during the entire evening
or if no partner, then lead your appetite
to a banquet which will be both refresh
ing and diverting.
There will be a concert in the music
room while the crowd assembles for the
event. And in case any living soul who
reads this has any doubts
being earnestly welcome, or
mation not conveyed herein,
about costume, she will find
Porter, commander in chief,
enlighten or to assist.
There will be a charge of
Hunt Breakfast, which sum
the benefit of the Sandhill
School.

on .Fount ing- Day
The village and neighborhood turned
out Monday to see those versatile on
horseback, and the voracious picanniny
make merry around the course, and do
jesting joust for the fun of the multi
tude. E. Burns and A. E. Booth stood
to judge the course of the games, and the
events were ordered in this wise:
First the herald announced a water
race, a matter to be undertaken only by
nautical riders, and those familiar with
the old pump. The rules provided that
each knight or lady be provided with a
bucket. And in the bucket was set a
mark, below which no man could spill
his water and still win the covetted prize
Provided then with this vessel full of
the elusive liquid the riders were off to
round the distant goal, and race home
again. And this drove everyone into a
high good humor. For in his eager
haste to make the distance, Tevor Smith
from Brooklyn charged home minus pail
and water both, leaving the master of
the hounds in command of the race.
It is said by those present on this
memorable occasion that there are great
possibilities of facial expression and the
art of dining not generally known to
those who failed to see TJylesses Grant
Jackson break his own record of one
custard pie in thirty-seven seconds. We
wrere about to say the pie disappeared in
that time. But subsequent witnesses
testify that suggestions of it were worn
as a kind of artistic war paint by Oddy
seus for some time thereafter, adding
greatly to his laurels and the high favor
in which he stands among the humorists
of this town.
Not being willing for bodily skill alone
to triumph in this meet, intellect was
given a premium in the next event. Miss
Olva Slade and Mr. E. Wardwell, by
fast riding, team work and some lighten
ing calculations came near finishing
ahead of the invincble master. But it
could not be done. This was Leach's
day. He also carried his colors triumph
ant in the potato race, spearing with
deadly . accuracy and inconceivable skill
hundreds of terrified potatoes in rapid
succession, and bringing them captive
home on his spear. He finished at break
neck speed a hair's breadth ahead of
Wardwell in this exciting contest.
The colored population of male per
suasion finished the gala day in hot com
petition for final honors travelling on
three legs, an average of a leg and a
half a man. Needless to say one of them
won, to the great and lasting joy of
the gallery.
