I— 1 The Hunting Log Chronicles of the Run, the Field, Squires and Their Dames. BY NINA CARTER TABR ilVUI >JVi MHtUnWtWJ VMIMVMf Oxon Hill, Md. Mae Bayne Tennant , :ame to this part of Virginia (be tween Leesburg and Middleburg) from Washington 30 years ago as a bride, >nd has made a place that her many friends know can never be filled. In thinking over early recollections 3f Virginia sporting events they are >11 associated with her. She had such a happy life then, and she and her husband. David B.

David Tennant, with Arthur Chichester, W. A. Metx ger, E. B.

He hunted his own hounds and was a born huntsman and horseman, the riding of his wonderful' horse Jubilee in horse shows is still talked of in sporting circles. He died some years ago, and Mae Bayne Tennant has car ried on in such a courageous way that she has been an inspiration to all of us. No matter who was in distress or trou ble she was the first to come, her own sorrows put aside in helping others. And when at times our burdens seemed too hard to bear a visit to or fiom Mae, and her outlook on life, made things seem brighter to us, for her iheerfulness and bravery was great. Mr. and Mrs. David Tennant had ,wo children—Jack Tennant, who died ft few years ago, and Anne Tennant, who is now Mrs. J. Southgate Morison of Baltimore. Md., and Virginia. Mrs. Tennant’s brother is Dr. Breckenridge ; Bayne of Salubria, Oxon Hill, Md. , The sorrowing faces of the many who loved Mae Tennant filled the lit tle church yesterday. We left her in , the old cemetery there, amid a ' bower of roses, Spring flowers of all ] kinds, lilies, Southern smilax and vlo- ’ lets—her favorite color—and with 1 heavy hearts we came back to Vir ginia, which will never be the same without her. t The Rev.
