The following are the nominating hunts and their masters: Albemarle Hunt, A. S. Craven, master; Charlottesville, Va. Bloomficld Open Hunt,, Elliott S. Nichols, master; Birmingham. Mich. Mr. Bchrs Hounds, B. L. Behr, master; Lake Forest, 111. The Cavalry School Hunt. Major D. W. McEuery, master; Fort Riley, Kans. Chagrin Valley Hunt, Windsor T. White, master; Gates Mills, Ohio.

The above is a thoroughly representative list of the hunting element, and the Between the Flags Steeplechase should do a lot to help the thoroughbred in communities where a few years ago there was little call for him. It is the first time in a long while that the United States Army has had a candidate in an open race of this character.
