Myopia Hunt to Try American Foxhounds This Fall
The Myopia Hunt will inaugurate a regular fox hunt using American bred foxhounds from Virginia and the South, loaned by H. J. Winguit of New York. Unlike English drag hounds, the American pack is slower and built for keen noses, enabling longer trails across rough country. The experiment aims to attract more riders, especially ladies, and begins Thursday at 6:45 a.m. with a full day anticipated.

New York Club in Clash Over Amateur Entry Rules
Tense dispute between the New York Athletic Club and the New England Amateur Athletic Association centers on Bernard Wefers and A J Remington. They were ruled ineligible at the New England championships in Worcester. The NYAC secretary John Gulick cites AAU rules forbidding competing under different clubs within three months. Tensions rise as NYAC sought qualified amateurs to challenge England. Wefers later won both the July 4 Newton dash and Worcester 120 yard run, raising questions about eligibility and credit. An October NEAAA meeting is anticipated as one of the most spirited gatherings.
