Durant’s
Phantasmagoric Hunt
By Mary Jamison
On that densely foggy Saturday, January 12, “The Hill,* the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Durant II, was the scene of one of the eeriest foxhunts Culpeper county has experienced in ages. Out of the boiling mists of that Limbo-like day Foxhunters and Foxhunt breakfasters materialized from very far and very wide. They came by van, by truck, by car and by horse; they came by hard road, gravel road, backways and byways. From the North appeared Mr. and Mrs. Frazer Brooks of Wayne, Pa.; Mr. Stuart Wells of Long Lake, Minn.; John Rinka with Alex Stull, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Burrell and Mr. Joseph Fitzpatrick, all from the Capitol; from White Post came Mr. and Mrs. Milton Ritzenberg; from Upperville, Mrs. A. C. Randolph, MFH, and Mr. and Mrs. Austin Kaye. From the South, Charlottes* ville, arrived Mrs. Ralph Minnick, Mrs. Evelyn Galbln Mrs. Kauffman and Mr. Van der Cliff. From the East, Fredricksburg, came a bevy of pretty, young Mary Washington College Hoof Printers with Mr. Kirschner in charge; also Mr. and Mrs. William Dameron and Cheryl Ward. Mrs. Knight Tholman appeared out of Orange. Added to these enthusiasts, the regular Rappahannock Hunt members and hunt followers of our two counties of Rappahannock and Culpeper totalled 37 mounted hunters and a full 200 strong breakfasters.
