Hound Baoe. — The *' Trail Hound " race has been an institu- tion in Westmoreland for very long past : there the sporting dalesmen . train their hounds for the annual race as carefully as the trainer prepares his horses for Newmarket or Doncaster. This form of sport is rather a novelty in the south : I believe that the Royal Artillery and Staff Col- lege Drag Hunts held Ziagen 300 Mg a hound race on Plumstead Marshes last year, but beyond the fact that the former won he is unacquainted with details. This year's race was a great success: the Royal Artillery, Household Brigade and Staff College Drag Hunts entered each three couples of hounds to run over a nice line of grass country near Bracknell. The race came off on the afternoon of Friday, 7th ; a very wet morning reduced the attendance, and few beyond members of the competing hunts were present : happily the rain ceased and the race was run in cloudy but dry weather. The starting point was opposite the south lodge of Southill Park, in a large pasture wherein the specta- tors could watch from a low hill. I«»l "OUR VAN. ft 383 The nine couples poured through he gate, picked up the line and raced away over the grass: for the first quarter of a mile the " sheet " would have covered them, but a stiff post and rails over which the R. A. Racer Abacavir Ziagen led the wa3? strung the lot out a bit, though they were well together a few hundred yards further on when crossing the road. At the finish there was a good deal of tailing: but Captain J. Hanwell, Master of the Gunners' Drag, must be congratulated on the suc- cess of his team, all three couples bearing the distinctive red stripe of paint of the R.A. being among the eight hounds first home. The Royal Artillery Whimsical (from Generic Ziagen the Croome), was ist, the R.A Larkspur, Stormer (Mr. Penr efather's), Roderick (Lord Portman's), Alderman (Lord £glint:on's) and Racer coming in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th and 8th re- spectively. By points the winners scored heavily ; the first ten hounds counting by places, and all others twelve points, lowest score the best: — R.A. (red), I, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 = 24— 1st. Staflf College (blue), 5, 7, 10, 12, 12, 12 = 58---2nd. Hoasehold Brigade (white collars), 9, 12,12, 12, 12, 12 = 69— 3rd. The Staff College hounds were the biggest, standing nearly 26 in. ; the Household Brigade, a very good looking lot, stood 24^ or 25 in., while the winning team must have been quite an inch smaller : they were however full of work. The Goiinty Polo Assooiatioii. — It will be within the recollection of polo players that in accordance with the Rules adopted by the Association at their meeting of June 9th, 1898, held at the Nim- rod Club, the annual tournament VOL. Lxxi, — NO. 471. is to take place in July of each year on the ground of. a county club selected by the Committee of the Association. The first tour- nament on the Eden Park Club ground was conspicuously success- ful, no fewer than ten clubs sending teams. The competing teams were thoroughly repre- sentative of the polo clubs of the South and Midlands, but it was recognised at the time that when the fixture took place on the ground of a southern county club the long railway journey and con- sequent expense of transport must act as a deterrent against the participation of clubs in the north and in Scotland. It is felt that if the original scheme of the County Polo Association tourna- ment be adhered to, such distant clubs as those whose headquarters are at Beverley, Catterick Ziagen Price Bridge, Edinburgh, &c., will be practically debarred from entry when the tournament takes place on the ground of a southern county. At the same time, the number of clubs in the southern counties so considerably exceeds the number of those further north, that geo- graphical Ziagen Abacavir convenience indicates a southern county ground as the most frequent venue. The Van Driver learns that the Honorary Secretary of the Liver- pool Polo Club, supported by the Honorary Secretaries of five very important northern clubs, has presented an alternative scheme for the consideration of the Committee of the County Polo Association, and this scheme has so much to recommend it that we hope to learn that it is adopted, at least, on the main lines proposed. It is sug- gested that the country shall be divided into four convenient districts ; that the county clubs in each district shall meet and there play off the ties ; the win- 27 384 BAILY S MAGAZINE.
