Virginia and Maryland.
BY NINA CARTER TABB.
OX hunting during the holidays
has been the very best of the
season, all packs going out on
Christmas day with large
fields.
Piedmont met at Upperville and had
a great run. Starting a fox on the
cliffs of Panther Skin Creek on Wel
bourne Farm, they ran straight across
country over such good galloping
farms as the Slater’s, Fletcher’s and
Metcalf’s and on to the Gen. Buchanan
farm, near Blakely grove, to the Rich
ardson farm. Then they ran across
Windsor (now owned by the Charles
Cushmans, where the fox was denned
near The Trappe. The few who were
in at the finish said that it was a
most exciting run and the fences the
biggest they had taken this season.
Those in at the end were the M. P. H.,
A. C. Randolph; huntsman and whips,
Irvin Beavers, Mr. and Mrs. William
Stevenson. Dulany Randolph, Jack
Butler, Harry Worcester Smith and

Langhorne entertained the field and
a number of neighborhood people at
an eggnog party after hunting.
The Middleburg Hunt met Christ
mas day at Mrs. Newell Ward's gate
at 1 p.m. At noon Mrs. Ward, Miss
Rosemary Ward and Mr. Buddy Ward
entertained at a hunt breakfast. Mid
dleburg had a snappy run “right off
the bat,” which gave them half an
hour’s sport. They then started a
second fox and ran to Pole Cat Hill.
Blue Ridge Hunt had a good run
on Saturday, when they met at
Springsbury, the home of Mr. and
Mrs. George Greenhalgh. After the
run, which the field enjoyed no end,
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Gilpin gave
a hunt tea for the field and neighbor
hood at their lovely home, Scaleby.
Warrenton Hunt met at Creedmore
Gate, with Jack Williams as M. F. H.,
as they were hunting the Casanova
country. The large field enjoyed a
marvelous run.
The Loudoun Hunt met at Kincaid’s
gate and from all reports the field,
made up of many people home for the
holidays, had a glorious day. Mr.
and Mrs. Stanley Green entertained
at a hunt breakfast afterward.
Orange County Hounds met at Mr.
Phipps’ red brick house on Saturday
morning and enjoyed a good run. Mr.
Hubert Phipps had a fall at a fence,
but was soon up and after hounds
again.

Of Snakes Wants
An Elephant Act
Girl, 18, Appeared at
High School Show With
Boa Constrictor.
By the Associated Press.
CATSKILL. N. Y.. December 28.—
Eighteen-year-old Martha Thiele, who
made her first stage appearance in a
Catskill high school entertainment
with an 8-foot boa constrictor as a
neck scarf, “likes” snakes; but her
real ambition is an “elephant act of
my own."
The high school senior created a
furore when she came to school with
the reptile. She explained to school
authorities that she merely wanted
to do her part toward raising funds to
send Catskill seniors on their tradi
tional educational trip to Washington.
Aided by Martha’s snake-charming
act, the show was successful and a
considerable sum was added to the
seniors’ trip fund.
Her brother, John Henry Thiele, Jr.,
internationally known dealer in zo
ological specimens, lent the snakes
for the class show. Martha looks to
graduation as a chanoe to enter into
a business partnership with him
She also wants to become an animal
trainer with an "elephant act of my
own.”
An antique mouse trap was sold re
cently in London for $12.50.
