Still vastly athletic, the owner of an estate in Far Hills, N. J. and a stable of thoroughbreds, he is president of the Essex Fox Hounds and a faithful huntsman. Last week he was re-named head of the hunts committee of the National Steeplechase & Hunt Association...
...forget why one put them there. . . . There are all sorts of suggestive stimuli which might be employed. Such for example might be a notched stick or prayer wheel. . . ."

Quite frankly the Vagabond has never cared deeply for Wordsworth. He exhibits, in his poetry, too frank an interest in the exact size of a newly dug grave, or the precise circumference of a huntsman's swollen ankle. But he has compensated for this rather crass precision by developing an excellent and timely theory to the effect that the world is too much with us. And so the Vagabond will go today to hear Sholley, Keats, and Wordsworth as they troop across the platform, and to see them bow gracefully, when they pass Professor Lowes...
