Harry Worcester Smith was a successful businessman in the textile industry. Smith started the Grafton Country Club with the desire to bring wholesome English outdoor life, riding, shooting and hunting to America. He was a champion four-inhand driver. His horses "Sky-High" and "Sue Woodstock" won three National Horse Shows at Madison Square Garden. He took up steeplechasing in his thirties and placed first at the Grand National Steeplechase at Sheepshead bay in 1901, as well as in the Hempstead and Calvert Cups in Baltimore the same year. A pivotal moment in his foxhunting career is known as The Great Hound Match of 1905 in which English foxhounds and American foxhounds were put to the test to see which breed was superior. Smith and his American foxhounds proved to be the victor by the final judgment at the end of the two week match. Smith wrote numerous essays and authored several books, including A Sporting Tour through Ireland, England, Wales and France. This book tells of the author's trip to Ireland for the hunting season, 1912-1913, with horses and hounds bred in the United States. The author found that no more sporting race exists than the Irish, and that any sports-man going to hunt in Ireland who can ride straight is soon welcome everywhere.
