In the Hunt Country
Activities Among the Horse-Lovers of
Virginia and Maryland.
BY NINA CARTER TABB.
RANGE COUNTY HOUNDS
met at Robert Young’s place
on Saturday. They crossed
the road to draw Mrs. Geroge
Garrett’s woods, and in three minutes
they had started a fox that ran across
the road to Bobby Young’s, turned
left to cross Katrina McCormick
Barnes' farm and on to the Meetz
farm. From there they ran over
Horace Moffett’s plaoe and Delancey
Nichols’. On the latter farm the pack
split and five hounds carried the fox
on to Mrs. John Anderson's place, the
Walter Woolfe farm, the Rumsey farm
and on toward "The Mill,” owned by
Jay Phipps.
The field stopped following these
hounds while the huntsmen collected
hounds that had gotten off the trail.
They then drew Mrs. Garrett’s place
again, where another fox was picked
up, but they made a loss. Hounds
were taken to the Young place, drew
that and the Brent farm, going to
ward the Harper place, turning right
toward Mrs. Johnson Redmond’s and
then to Whitewood. There they start
ed a fox and all set sail for a good run.
Fletaher Harper, master, had a fall
at the first fence. As he went down
and was seen to be unhurt, Harry
Worcester Smith—as usual up front—
took the field and they went at a fast
clip to cross the Red Brick House farm
and the Brent place to Mr. Meetz’s,
where they turned left by Bobby
Young’s and denned on the Brent
place. It was late after this run, so
they called it a day and took the
hounds in.
Among those out were Mr. and Mrs.
Freddy Prince, Mr. and Mrs. Delancey
Nichols, Mr. and Mrs. William C.
Langley. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Young,
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Harrison, Mrs.
Elizabeth Skinker Keman, Mrs.
Fletcher Harper, William Philips.
Hubert Phipps, Henry Skinker, Horace
Moffett, Roger Lambdon, Fred Carter.
John Rawlings, William Eaton and
“Jazz Bo” Keman.
Horace Moffett soid his lovely 4
year-old gray mare by Tom Tiger, to
Mrs. Johnson Redmond last week.
Her young son rode the mare with
Orange County hounds and pro
nounced her as good a hunter as she
Is good-looking.
Middleburg Hunt met at the race
track on Saturday and drew back
of Mrs. Newell Ward’s house and the
Fred land. Hounds started a gray fox,
which ran around in circles for. a
little while, and they killed without
the field having anything of a run.
Then they drew the Whitfield place,
Foxcroft, and rode over several farms
in that neighborhood, but started
nothing. It was practically a blank
day, as they had been out from 11
a.m. until after 4 p.m. Suddenly, as
they were about to come in, a fox
was jumped on Foxcroft, which ran to
the Whitfields’, came back to Fox
croft and was lost back of the stable
there, giving the field half an hour’s
run. The crowd was jubilant over
this, as they were about to go in
very sad over the day’s sport.
The few who had stayed on until
the finish seemed to be well repaid by
this end of the day’s run. Among
those hunting were Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur White, Miss Charlotte Noland,
Miss Laura Sprague, Miss Thresa
Shook, Mrs. Oliver Iselin, Miss Jennie
Green, Miss Julia Whiting, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Sabin, Miss Bettina Bel
mont, Miss Julia Gatewood, Mrs. John
Hay Whitney, Miss Nannie Fred,
Barry Hall, James B. Skinner, Ridglejr
White, Robert Clark, Waugh Glasscock,
Rogers Fred, James Pennebaker, Col.
Harry Whitfield and his two daugh
ters, Mrs. Holga Bidstrup and Mrs.
Gttynor, Miss Connie Regan, Louie
i/eith. Miss Louise Myers of Wash
ington and Danny Shea.
Mrs. Dobson Altemus of Philadel
phia is visiting her daughter, Mrs. J.
H. Whitney and was an Interested
spectator at the Middleburg meet on
Saturday, following the road in Jier
oar to see quite a bit of the hunt.
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Guest have
returned to their Virginia home near
Middleburg after having spent the
Christmas holidays with Mr. Guest’s
mother In Palm Beach. Mr. and Mrs.
Danny Shea of Washington spent the
week end in Middleburg as the guests
of Miss Connie Regan in her hunt
ing box on the Charles Sabin place.
Mr. Shea, who has long been famous
as a rider of high jumpers in all of
the largest show rings, has been
training a string of race horses most
■uccessfuily for the past year for sev
eral prominent horsemen. He has his
horses out at Benning this winter.
Eight of them belong to Mr. Sumner
Pingree of Boston. Mr. Shea went
well in the hunting field on Saturday.

FOUR FACE DEATH
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
Group Is Second on Sing Sing
Mass-Execution
Schedule.
Br the Associated Press.
OSSINING. N. Y., January 11.—
Three colored youths In their teens
and a white man have four more days
to live unless Gov. Lehman saves
them from execution.
They are the second of three groups
In Sing Sing Prison's death house
who were to die In mass executions
on successive Thursday nights, be
ginning last week. But four of six
young hold-up killers were saved from
the electric chair last Thursday, giv
ing renewed hope to those scheduled
to die this week.
The four now facing the chair are
Wentworth Springer, 17; Lawrence
Jackson, 18, and Robert Taliaferro,
19, colored, convicted of killing Mor
ris Ernest for $3.50 in a Manhattan
hold-up, and Louis Lazar, 39, convict
ed of slaying Morris Saskowitz In
Brooklyn in a fued over money.
Five other prisoners, two of them
minors, are under sentence to be exe
cuted a week from Thursday night.
Humanitarian groups besieged Gov.
Lehman with appeals for clemency
last week, and two nights before the
scheduled execution 200 Italian fathers
and mothers from the Italian sec
tion knelt in prayer In the street be
fore the Governor's home In New York
City.
"I’m younger than Scata, but no
body cares about me,” Jackson, one of
the colored youths, said today.
He referred to 19-year-old Salvatore
Scata of Hartford, Conn., saved only
a few hours before last Thursday's
executions of Theodore Dldonne, 31,
and Joseph Boiognla, 24. The three
other participants In the Brooklyn
hold-up slaying of a subway collector,
saved by the Governor the previous
night, were Dominick Zizzo, 27; Sam
uel Kimmel, 22, and Eugene Bruno,
23. All face life Imprisonment.
Lazar’s chances for clemency rest
chiefly on the fact that It required
two convictions to keep him in the
death house. His first conviction was
set aside by the Court of Appeals.
About 2,000 applications to see an
execution are on file at Warden Lewis
E. Lawes’ office. Prom this list he
will select a dozen citizens to be legal
witnesses Thursday night.
