Mr. and Mrs. J. W. McDonald gave a
very unique party at their country place
on Thursday evening, for their sister,
MIbb Regna. At 7:30 a number of the
guests joined in a paper chase. Mrs.
McDonald, mounted on her tall sorrel
horse "Colonel Vifquain," and Miss
Regna, on Ben Bolt, were the hares
leading the chase. Then came the
hounds at a tearing pace, for the hares
were well out of sight, having been given
seveaminuteH start. The hounds guided
their mounts by the trail of bits of paper
across country, for in a prairie chase
there are no fences to hinder and the
best horse wins. The hareB doubled
back several times to make the chase
more difficult. Mr. Henry, Jr., was the
leader of the hounds and kept the hunt
ing-horn sounding. By many people
rthe scene will ''long be remembered.
The women in white habits, some in
scarlet hunting coats the men in white
breeches, some in military uniform, giv
ing a touch of color a9 they swept by.
Near "The Blow" a mounted policeman
was busy keeping the road clear for the
returning riders. The prize winners
were Miss Gladys Henry, who is known
as one of the finest riders about the
country, Dr. G iff en and Mr. Folsom.
A pair of silver mounted fox brushes
and a pair of Dobson's English hunting
pictures were tbo prizes. After the ride
they returned to the bouse for informal
dancing and supper on the lawn. The
grounds were illuminated by hundreds
of electric lights in gorgeous Japanese
lanterns. The sgrass was partly car
peted with oriental rugs, and with the
many palms gave a tropical tone to the
whole. The beautiful scene presented
by the many lights above the high green
hedge and a peep now and then through
it at the smartly dressed set, mingling
together tho "pink" coats of the riders
and the full evening dress, enchanted
the many spectators on the outside.
Ices and punch were served on the lawn
from a large, round table, canopied by
, an immense Japanese umbrella, from
the edge of which hung many tiny lan
terns, giving n artistic lighting to the
cooling dainties beneath. Coffee was
served from the summer-house. A
platform had beon erected on the east
lawn where the riders danced in their
habits and boots. Over a hundred
guests, not participating in the ride,
were invited for nine o'clock. They
were received on the west piazza by the
host, assisted by Mrs. A. Bruce Coffrotb
and Mr. and Mrs. William Leonard, in
full evening dress. Mr. Zehrung and
