Although the White Marsh Valley Hunt was not founded until 1903, by the Messrs. Edward D. Toland, Thomas Stokes, James G. Leiper, Jr., R.H. Johnson, Jr., and Welsh Strawbridge, the fathers of several of these gentlemen had run paper-chases in that part of the country for some years, and the interest in cross-country riding, having been handed down to the present generation, had never entirely died out, so that as these gentlemen grew up and began to ride, they in their turn kept up the paper-chases in a desultory sort of way. The runs became more frequent and their devotees increased; until presently, as is often the case, came the taste for hounds, and in 1903 a few couples were bought. The natural advantages of the country, which is level and largely used for grazing purposes, were all favorable, and as soon as the residents of the White Marsh Valley found how much pleasure could be derived from riding to hounds, they all joined in with a will and the Club was soon formed.

In the second season, Mr. Welsh Strawbridge, who had been elected Master at the start, bought a small draft of English hounds, but found that these ran almost mute on the drag, as they often do. Accordingly, he began to cross them with the native hounds, and found that the animals so produced were, on the whole, more satisfactory for the purpose for which they were needed. At present, Mr. Strawbridge has twelve couples of hounds in his kennels, most of them bred along the lines indicated above, some few drafted from the neighboring Hunts and a few from Dr. A. C. Heffenger’s pack, — the Portsmouth.

The White Marsh Valley Hunt developed slowly, in this manner, up to the season of 1907; when, its Fields having grown in numbers and enthu-siasm, the members began to yearn for the “real thing.” The Master was only too ready, and during the autumn of 1907 a small pack was kept exclusively for fox-hunting. The country is nearly perfect for the sport, the coverts being small and scattered widely, and the open country between quite ideal for riding purposes, being mainly a grazing country, and the land-owners, a very good class and fond of sport, keeping their farms and fences in the best of condition. Wire has not, as yet, crept into the country at all and the fences are almost entirely old post-and-rails, large and stiff, but with clean take-off and landing.

Foxes are none too plentiful, but many have been planted and as they have thriven well, there seems to be no reason why fox-hunting should not be firmly established and excellent sport obtained in a short time. The huntsman, Mr. James G. Leiper, Jr., is a keen sportsman and may be depended upon to do all he can toward attaining the best results.

The Hunt now has a commodious clubhouse, stables and kennels, and visitors are always most welcome. Most of the members have a strong lean-ing toward the thoroughbred when it comes to a question of mounts, although there is a small percentage of cocktails generally to be seen.

Comfortable Everyday Shorts with a Clean Casual Look
Size: Large, Color: Dark Grey
These shorts strike a good balance between casual comfort and a more put-together appearance. The twill fabric feels durable enough for regular wear while still being lightweight. The drawstring adds flexibility in fit, which makes them easy to wear in different settings—from casual outings to light activity. The 7-inch inseam gives a modern, slightly athletic look without being too short. Pros • Comfortable fit • Versatile casual style • Lightweight but durable fabric Cons • Not performance-focused • Limited stretch compared to athletic shorts Overall A solid everyday short that works across multiple casual settings.

Good Basic Pair of Basic Shorts
Size: Large, Color: Khaki
These are a good basic pair of shorts. They fit well with a comfortable drawstring waist and a nice length that’s not too short or long. The material feels a bit thin, which is actually a positive for summer since they’re lightweight and breathable. The color came out a little more gold than true khaki in person, but it still looks decent. Overall, they’re solid for casual wear, beach days, or just around the house. We’ll see how they hold up after washing, but so far I’m happy with them for the price and will be wearing them regularly.
