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.

Superb!!!!
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 4)
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I purchased these beauties 6 months ago and they are still fluffy and firm. I'm amazed by the price point. I will definitely re-order for the guess bedroom.

Soft and comfortable, NOT firm.
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Overall, these are comfortable pillows for the price, especially if you prefer something soft rather than firm. The pillows arrived vacuum sealed, which is pretty standard. Once opened, they fluffed up well after some time and looked full enough to use. Right away, they felt soft and plush, and sleeping on them was comfortable from the first night. In terms of comfort and support, these pillows are definitely on the softer side. They work well for side and back sleeping if you like a pillow that you can sink into a bit. They’re not firm or dense, but they’re still cozy and gentle on the neck and head. After a few days of use, I did notice that the pillows started to look a little lumpy and uneven. The filling tends to shift, so they don’t hold their shape perfectly and need regular fluffing. That said, even when they look a bit misshapen, they’re still soft and comfortable to sleep on. If you’re someone who needs strong neck support or prefers a firm hotel-style pillow, these may feel too soft. However, if comfort and plushness are your priority, they do the job well. For the price, I think they’re a good value. They’re not luxury pillows, but they’re comfortable, decent quality, and perfectly fine for everyday use or a guest bed.

Would buy again
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
This is a good pillow if you like them firm and thin. I let them sit out for 2 days (per instructions). After having them a week, they've perked up and became more full. I guess they just need time after being in the air. They are softer now but your head doesn't sink thru it. They are actually nice and soft to the touch as well.

On the thin side....
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These are described as "high loft" and "supportive", but they are fairly thin/flat and very soft.
