Weather warm and still ground wet. Drew Red Oak as far as the Figgins then turned north along west branch, No luck. Weather got so warm we decided not to draw the Figgins but to go in. In crossing Warren's Mountain drawing is a very casual manner hounds suddenly started a fox who went away towards Naked Mountain, then crossed the New John Marshall Highway west of the Warren house and across theri pasture to Goose Creek. Here I viewed him not twenty yards ahead of the hounds. Ran through the Dennis McCarty place as far as the kennels farm then turned back. The hounds were right on him in the edge of the woods and we planely saw him squat and the whole pack go over him with Faun leading. He turned back into the McCarty Corn field where we tri to whip off but the hounds were too far ahead of us and killed him in the corn. A Big young Fox. Time 45 minutes with very fast galloping and a lot of big fences the horses were all in and many of the hounds were pretty tired due to the heat. [*KILL*] Field.

[*Oct 20 1934] Cobbler Hunt and Festivities Provide Entertainment Long To Be Remembered By NINA CARTER TABB The Cobbler Hunt started off the 1934 season on Saturday in the most delightful way. Lieut. Col and Mrs. George Patton, jr., joint Masters of the Hunt, staged a day long to be remembered in this part of the country. At 9 o'clock the first meet was held at the home of Mr. H.M. Luttrell, president of the Hunt Club. His spacious lawn with its picturesque background of the Cobbler Mountains was a lovely sight, as 50 followers of the hounds rode off after the Masters, Huntsman and Whips, to draw the Luttrell farm and Alvin Baird's. Here they started a fox and ran across "Oak Hill" and Web Maddux's farm to the Curlette farm, where they denned a 40-miute run. They then drew Curlette Farm and soon got up another fox and had a short run and lost, after having been out three hours. Everyone was hungry for the barbecue at 1 o'clock. This festivity was in the nature of a good-will gathering of the land-owners and renters, whose land is in the Cobbler territory. All roads were leading to the barbecue and tournament held in one of Mr. Luttrell's fields. About 2,500 persons attended. The "piece de resistance" was a fine fat steer, roasted to "the queen's taste" on a huge grate. All the accessories to such a feast were there--rolls, salad, pickles, etc. It was one of these occasions, we all love to go to, before these glorious fall days go by. The Tenth Cavalry's noted cook, Tom Slocum, and his able assistant, "Thunderbolt," were on hand to see to the food and what a feast it was. After lunch every one went to a nearby hill to watch the tournament. The Pattons really stage a show when they get under way. To Colonel Patton, was the responsibility of charging the knights, about 30 in number. His words of advice resounded across the foothills of the Cobbler, in no uncertain tone. The gallant knights then went forth to their duty, and how they did ride and take those rings, to the delight and merriment of the crown. Mr. Eddie Strother, a tournament rider of great fame, was the winner. We then gathered around the flower-bedecked platform to see the queen crowned. He placed the garland of flowers on the lovely, curly, blond head of Miss Jane Fairfax Dudley, small daughter of Mrs. Fairfax Dudley. George O'Bannon crowned Miss Edna Johnson as maid of honor, James Gibson crowned Miss Ruth Ellen Patton as second maide of honor, and James Strother, Miss Anne Robertson as third maid of honor. General Cromer, chief of cavalry of Fort Myer, was master of ceremonies at the coronation, and made a most eloquent speech. Among other notables present were Col. Kenyon Joyce, commanding officer at Ft. Myer; Gen and Mrs. Hugh Drum, Capt. Allen, Capt. Marion Carson, Capt. James Duke, Major John Davis and many other officers from Ft. Myer. Gen. "Billy" Mitchell was there chatting with every one. Then there was "Shorty" Lipscomb, Master of Loudoun Hunt with his house guests, Mr. and Mrs. Scott, of Philadelphia, and Mr. and Mrs. de Pyster, of Newport, who had hunted with Loudoun Hounds that morning and then hurried over for the Cobbler Hunt gayeties. Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Baird, Mrs. Baird wearing a smart plaid cape. ("Buzz" Baird is ex-master of Cobbler Hunt, and another ex-master of this hunt present was Mr. Will McCarty.) Dr. and Mrs. Cary Langhorne came over from their place near Upperville. Mrs. John Waters, of Ft. Riley, Mrs. Merrill, Mrs. Ridley McLean, Miss Julia Gatewood, Mr. and Mrs. Channing Delaplane, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Glasscock, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Bayly. Dr. and Mrs. Edmund Horgan, whose place adjoins the Luttrell farm; McKay Smith of Millwood, George McGonnigle, Ernest Redmon, Jack McCarty Clay Bayly, John Butler, John Rawlings, and John Waller, our noted wit and teller of delightful horse stories. Besides these, there were many hundreds of people. Long will this be remembered and talked of as a perfect day of sport and enterment. 1934 Cobbler Hunt OCTOBER Saturday, 20th.....Mr. Luttrell's Gate Meet, 10:00, Barbecue & Tournament, 1:00 Note: All land owners, renters and recipients of hunt cards invited.

Saturday October 20th, Mr. Luttrell's; 10:00 AM. Weather cool with a heavy dew and now wind. Due to the large field and the many who came in vans the start was delayed until 10:15 AM. We then drew south accross the Luttrell and Baird fields bordering the Paris-Marshall road taking several jumps in order to settle riders and horses. After twenty minutes we turned west to a locust grove where we had located several earths. Here the hounds went away almost at once running south with a great head through a bottom there were several nice jumps the rox then turned toward the hills and ran for about a mile when he turned north running along some rough ground with small trees and large fences after some two and a half mi miles on this line he turned south east along a fence line and went to earth not half a mile from where he had been unkenneled. The run was actually thirty minutes but several people who should have known better called it fifty minutes. The pace was so good that many of the horses including The Fox ridden by the Huntsman had had enough. On the Master suggesting that some of the field go in he was upraided so drew again and having crossed the New John Marshall Highway struck the rather cold line of a fox in the William Strother place the hound worked this line for about an hour but never got on terms woth their fox so at 12:30 the hunt was stopped in order that the rest of the Day's festivities might take place. (See Clipping on preceding page). [*Run*] Field: The largest field ever to ride with Cobbler honored the start. There were more than forty five riders excluding grooms. Among the more not worthy guests were Gen. Drum, Deputy Chief of Staff, U.S.A.; Gen. Kromer Chief of Cavalry, fourteen officers from Fort Myer, Three of the McCarties, Two Gaddises, Miss Gatewood, Mrs Delaplane, Dr. Langhorne to mention only a fiew. Horses Thornton, The Fox and Keaau, Kent, Kaili; Self, Budway, Beatrice Memorial, Ruth-Ellen, Quick Silver. There were between 1500 and two thousand people at the barbecue and tournament. All were fed and had more than enough to drink. Privates Slocum and Harrison 10th Cav. Were the cooks. Headquarters Fort Myer Virginia November 1, 1934 Memorandum: Lieutenant Colonel and Mrs. George S. Patton, Jr., joint masters of the Cobbler Hunt, invite the officers and ladies of Fort Myer, Virginia, to hunt, as their guests, with the Cobbler Hunt during the season 1934-35. A fixture card will be posted on the Bulletin Board at Post Headquarters showing the time and place of hunts. Any horse able to jump three and one-half feet is capable of hunting in Virginia. By order of Colonel Joyce: J.T. Menzie Captain, 3d Cavalry Adjutant. Distribution: COBBLER HUNT DIARY, 1934-35. Page 5. 2. Wednesday , October 24th. Vernon Mills, 9:00 AM. Weather cool and moist ground. Drew south along Thumb Run Mountain into the Williams place with an idea of giving some of the [*Run] field a little jumping. The second jump was realy large a post and rail with two feet of day light under the top rail. The jump was probably better than four six. Unfortunately Louise crashed it before the person for whom it was intended got up. Struck a fox in the Williams farm just east of the Orleans road the fox crossed the road ran up the hill towards the bean field on the John Marshall place. We had to take the big snake fence with the ditck then the fence into the bean field then out and then out of the pasture, all were up as cattle were in the fields next we crossed Thumb Run Creek and up the hill towards Preesly here the fox turned right over four fine fences one of them leaning over a ditch with rocks on the take off side which had to be jumped from a walk. We finally lost in the woods near the new saw mill west of preesly. Time 25 minutes of most excellent going over some realy interesting fences. Field. Beatrice, Ruth-Ellen, Louise, Mrs. Whitney the Davis boys and a friend of thiers. Horses, Beatrice, Memorial, Ruth-Ellen, Q.S., Self Budway, Thornton Popcorn; Kent, Keanakolu. 3. Saturday, October 27th, Mr, Edward Strother's, [*B*] 9:00 A.M. [*M.F.H*] Drew the hill back of house then mount Ede and the woods back of Delaplane Manor, Then along by Devil Jack Glascock's and then accross [*Run] the bars into Brushy mountain. Here a fox was started -probably a gray who ran in the woods up and down the hill for about 20 minutes and was finally lost by going up a tree.

Weather dry with a north west wind that changed to south about 11:00 A.M. Ground cold Drew the little wood on Mt Blanc where the legendary foxes are supposed to live and as usual failed to find them. Drew all of Red Oak blank- last year it was a sure find, so far this year it has been blank, I think that the cover is so thick yet that the hounds cant get in- Crossed the road and Tried the Figgins found in the usual [plav] place in the woods above the Railroad on the north end, worked the fox slowly to the west lost in some cattle, Struck another in the woods so south of the big gate and carried him about two miles at a walk finally loosing him near the stone wall with the wire over it that I jumped the first time we hunted the Figgins. An impossible senting day.[*Run Poor.*] Field; Beatrice, Ruth Ellen, Louise Myers, Chub Lee, Dr. Horgan and Louise also Mason Rector and a friend. Horses, Beatrice, Memorial; Ruth-Ellen, Q.S., Self Budway, Thornton, Popcorn, Kent, Kaili. As there were still lots of cattle out the fenc were nice and big and the day fine for riding if not for hunting. 5. Saturday, [October] November 3d : Delaplane Manor, 9:30 A.M. Weather warm with a south wind. Drew James Gibsons woods, The woods back of Delaplane Manor, The draw north of Devil Jack Glascock's house. Here we started a graf fox and the gounds ran him at sight for about a quarter of a mile. He dodged into some brairs and the pack over ran. On a circular cast they found him just where they had lost him and he circled again and went to ground in the same briars. [*Blank*] We then drew Edward Strothers and found a cold drag in the Washington place while the hounds were working this at a walk we had to take several very nice jumps. One was so high that I took off a top rail but Hukupu was insulted and jupmed the high part to the left of the gap. B on Keanakolu did the same but crashed she sat very well and did not go down. The next fence an oblique in and out over a road lost several riders. We drew the earth below the Washington house but the senting was so bad that COBBLER HUNT DIARY, 1934-35. Page 7. the hounds would not even own it. We then drew bac of Ed's hill and next mount Edi. No go. As it was now one o( clock and Mrs. Delaplane had asked us for Breakfast we went in. BLANK DAY. Field. Beatrice, Ruth-Ellen, Col. Joyce, six officers from myer, two artillerymen, Dr. Langhaorne, the Delaplane's Julia Gatewood the McCarties and several others including Dr. Horgan and a friend. Breakfast: As usual there were many more people at the breakfast than in the field. Also as usual at Delaplane Manor the entertainmen was superior. Earnest Redmond tried to sell me a horse . I looked at it but did not like it. Horses: Thornton, The Fox; Kent [Kaili] My Risk; Self [Budway] HukuRu; Beatrice, Keanakolu; [Ruth-Ellen, Q.S.] 6. Wednesday, Novemnber 7th, Mr. Harry Smith's 9:30 A.M. Weather; it had rained in the night and the morning looked promising but just as we started the South Wind came up. We drew the woods east of Carrington and started the Carrington Fox which we viewed a fine large fellow. A man cutting brush turned him as he [*Run] made south and he went to the Little Cobbler [*Poor.] the hounds right on him and took him over the mountain. We galloped to the Mt. Blanc (south) end in hope that he would come out there were som nice fences especially the one Called the Rose Boy fence which while not as big as when it got its name for nearly killing the Rose boy , was large enough. In coming back Mason Rector took the pannel on the south end down hill at an angle and his horse -a green one of Mr. Tisousky's rolled on him and we thought he was badly hurt as he threw up blood and his liver seemed crushed. Dr. Horgan and I stayed with him till a farmer came up. (Actually he was not seriously hurt). After waiting an hour to get the hounds out we finally succeeded in securing four and decided to draw back of the Recyor place. When we got there we had only one hound ,Tulip, with us so gave it up. Field: Beatrice, Major Davis, Louise Myers, Dr. Horgan , Mason Rector and some others. COBBLER HUNT DIARY, 1934-35. Page 8. Horses: Thornton, The Fox, Kent, My Risk, Major Davis, Little John; Self Hukupu. B. Keanakolu Mrs Harry Smith saw another fox cross the road while we were drawing while Mary Warren saw a this sitting on the hill leading to Broom Sedge. At least there seem to be plenty of foxes. BLANK DAY except for the hounds in the hill. 7. Saturday, November 10th, Mr. James Gibson's 9:30 A.M. Weather: Cold and blowing with ground dry and the leaves not packed. Still as James had seen a fox right behind his house several days we hope for a run. [*2 Runs Fine.*] Drew: James seed corn field and woods, then the William Strother woods, then the Will McCarty pla place, Then Warren Mountain, Here after about thre hours riding we struck a fox and had about ten mi minutes very fast when he went to earth. James and Kent both got in the wire but were not hurt. Next we drew Broom Sedge, Then crossed over into The rector place and worked down to Carrington gate. By this time we had been out nearly three and a half hours maby four and every one was tired and the south wind was blowing. We drew the broom sedge field where the Carrington Fox stays (uses) and failed to find though there was a very nice wall to jump. Then we drew on towards home when just before the Bar Way the hounds found a fox. He reversed at once and headed south along the edge of the woods with the hounds close on him. He went over the Mt. Blanc end and then headed back trying to cross the road into the Rector place but was head by William Strother's boy on a horse in the road. he ran through some cattle and finally crossed just at Carrington gate. Then up through Broom Sedge, and over the chicken coop and big rale [ne] fence into Ashby Glen. Here the scent became so poor and the horses so tired that we blew off after a run of fifty minutes at the end of a five hour ride. When we reached the Kennels we had been out over six and a half hours. Field. Beatrice, Ruth-Ellen, Major Davis, Capt Duke, Lt. Gannell, Capt Mallet (Two artillerymen on artillery horses-first time on record) Louise Myers, Dr. Horgan, William McCarty, Edward S Strother. and several others. COBBLER HUNT DIARY, 1934-35. Page 9.

Thornton, Popcorn; Kent, Kaili: Dr. Horgan fed us whiskey. Found all the soldier grooms quite drunk especially Joe Risarlo. Fine DAY. 8. Wednesday, Nov. 14, Hume : 9:30 AM. Weather :Dry with brisk N.W. wind and cold. Made the usual draw through the fields towards John Marshall's (Who has died lately) but did not draw the little cover to the west of his house where the Larabbee fox lives. Drew the pea field and woods south of it then down by the goat pastu where I had a fall. Budway failed to rise at a middle sized fence. He fell on his chest and skidded along on his face I thought he was going to roll over [but] and stepped off he did not roll but in getting up stepped on my toe and near ly broke it. We came back through the woods where where the 19 cows were killed by lightning and ha to jump a big fence leaning towards us. In fact I think we took more big jumps this day in cold blood than I can remember, With the exception of Budway all went well. At last we drew the Dr. Lang Langhorne woods also blank so quit. Hounds could n not work in such weather. [*BLANK*] Field: Beatrice; Ruth-Ellen; Whitside Miller; Dr. Horgan. I sent home a groom of Mr. Pierson's fro breaking fences. Horses: Thornton, The Fox; Beatrice Keanakolu; Ruth Ellen, Quick Silver; Self Budway. Kent not out due to a boil under his arm. [*BLANK*] 9. Saturday, Nov. 17, Ada; 9:30 AM Weather very dry but no wind. Drew accross Glenara and struck cold trail south of Phillip Triplett's house which we worked up going towards Vernon Mills then turned west and crossed the lane over some very big fences. Hilda on Ironmaster went fine as did Fred. Lieut. Mather had a hard fall over the lane but it did not seem to hurt him. We finally lost the line near Texas Gate and then drew Texas Mountain blank when we got to Priesly we saw the Davis boys hunting and were very mad as since they get our card thet knew we were COBBLER HUNT DIARY, 1934-35.

He raced away towards Hume with the hounds right on him then turned south up a bank and over some large and to me new fences headed south. We crossed the Orleans-Hume road and went down a valley and over a brook Tehn up a hill to One of Philip Tripletts Corn fields here the hounds made a loss but some men on the road said the fox had crossed back into the Mrashall place so we crossed again over very tricky jumping. The hounds were so hot that we over ran and lost again then as the Davises were coming we blew off so that they could not chase and kill a [RUN] beaten fox after we left. Time Twenty Five minutes over fine open country with nice fences. The Army Officers Govt. Mounts went well but had the run lasted longer I fear that they would have come down. Fine day: Field; Ruth Ellen; Hilda; Frederick; Major Davis; Lieuts, Hero, Cole, Frame and Mather. Dr. Horgan; Horses: Ruth-Ellen, Q.S.; Self, Hukupu; Maj Davis, Little John; Thornton; Popcorn, Kent Kaili. 10. Wednesday, Nov. 21st, The Kennels, 9:30 A.M. Weather foggy, with dry ground and south wind. Large field so we drew the Rose place and the William Strother placevfirst. Then we crossed the RR and drew the woods where Spark Plug jumped on the Harrow then the woods back of the Warrens Tenant Farmer. In passing from one wood to the other we came to a worm fence with a ditch [BLANK] on the take off side. Even the Fox Refused but made it the second time. Budway refused and I did not make a second trial (This is the first fence I ever quit on) Kent jumped it on My Risk so Did James on his big mare. Twice we struck lines but it was so dry that the hounds could not work the line. In jumping into the lane leading to the Warren's a red headed boy hit the wall and fell off on his head cracking it so that Dr. Horgan had to stop and fix it up. We went on accross the Broom Sedge and back of Ashby Glen to Carrington. Here the hounds undoubtedly found a fox but again could not work him so we blew off. COBBLER HUNT DIARY, 1934-35.

Rode up the valley west of the church and into Brushy Mountain which we drew backwards that is north. It was so wet that the hounds were not interested. Near the big drop jump west of Delaplane manor Near Devil Jack Glascock's True boy struck a very cold drag which he puzzled over for a long time. Then Thornton thinking that the fox had gone up the fence line lifted forward but we could not make it go. As a last resort we decided to draw Mt. Edie about the middle of the covert Trueboy owned the line and headed west all the hounds joining except Faun and Goby who COBBLER HUNT DIARY, 1934-35. Page 12. headed east. Presently True boy and his assocaiets owned that they were running heel and joined the two bitches Music tried to take the line too fast and over ran twice but Blue picked it up and went away towards the hollow on the east when they got to the fence they developed a lot of tongue an went away hard the fox turned east and circled coming back over Mt. Edie and then crossed the road towards the Dorsey hill Thornton and I were well up and in coming out of the Locust thicket jumped a huge fence we had never seen before then another and so on to Falls Hollow (or Glen) here it got very rough and we had to go slow finally whipping off in the rain and fog almost at the top of the Blue Ridge. Time 33 minutes the first 25 very fast. Coming back I tried to shut a gate on Hukupu and h he got mad and rearing fell on a woven wire fence with me under him he got all four feet caught but kicked him self clear and ran away till he hit a second fence when I caught him. Neither of us was hurt. Racket ran away with Kent who rode hi in a snaffel also he was not so fit so Kent had to pull out. Field: NO ONE.

In crossing the upper reaches of Thumb Run the stream was high and Hilda's horse Hellszella fell and rolled with her she came out spouting water [h] so mad that she could nei[a]ther laugh or cry. Henry took her back to the car where she drove to the Gaddises and got some more clothes rejoining i in about two hours. All thought her very sporting. In the little woods west of the Marshall house struck a line which hounds ran heel for about a quarter of a mile before correcting them selves while they did this we had to jump the big fence i in the bottom three times. We then had a catchy se scent with several fast bursts for about twenty minutes until we were cut off by the Davis outlaw pack. We turned back over Priesly and drew Texas woods and then accross by the Dr. Langhorne woods and over the country between Cobbler Farm and hume all to no effect. In coming out of this country DR. Horgan's horse fell over a bar way and badly sprained Dr. Horgan's knee. Next we drew Mt. Blank and as a last resort Carrington. Here I hd given up hope when at the last minute the [g]hound struck a fox who went away north ran through the Smith's corn field then crossed the road and going between the Broom Sedge and Ashby Glen then he cro the highway and ran through the Warren place we lost time opening gates so that when he got to the Scuffleburg road hounds were out of sight but as we had tunted six hours and hounds had run thirty minutes we were not tired. Racket was completely exhausted and most of the field quit Ruth-Ellen, Hilda and I went on about twenty minut more very slow and then gave it up as the hounds h had crossed Naked Mountain and could not be got t to.

This tim we knew where the wire fences were were so got on terms with the hounds and held them though for the first two miles it was a flat race.

LANGHORNE ----- Scores of Virginia Foxhunters Compete in Hunter Trials. ----- Special Dispatch to The Star. MARSHALL, Va., April 3-- Dr. Cary D. Langhorne won the coveted Master's Cup of the Cobbler hunter trials here yesterday as scores of Virginia sportsmen gathered on the adjoining estates of James McCarty and Dr. Edward Horgan to test the cross- country skill of horses they have ridden to hounds during the past season. Favored by a warm, bright day and more than 150 high-class entries, the trials attained a definite niche of prominence on the Viirginia calendar of Spring horse sport. Second to Dr. Langhorne's good bay was J.W. Adams Lock Box, which also turned in a sterling performance over the 2-mile course. The Joint Masters' Cup, a division open to women who hunted with the Cobbler hounds this season, sent to Miss Beatrice Patton, daughter of Maj. and Mrs. George S. Patton, joint M. F. H. of the hunt and donors of the trophy. Miss Patton rode her own Keanokaln. Army Units Compete. A large entry from Fort Myer and Front Royal competed in the Cavalry Cup, a class for officers of the Regular Army. Despite equal representations of 12 horses each in the event, the Fort Myer riders captured all the honors. Judges of the trials were Henry G. Vaughan, president of the American Fox Hunters' Association; Col. Kenyon Joyce, U. S. A., and Maj. Wilfrid M. Blunt, M. F. H. of the Washington Riding and Hunt Club Hounds. Summary of Events.
