The issue of the Leamington Spa Courier, Jan. 22, 1882, 

 contains an account of the following runs : 



The Warwickshire hounds met at Hounds Hill on Thursday. Having- 

 drawn, and found a good fox in Alveston Pastures, off they went at a 

 slapi)ing pace in the direction of Alveston Tillage. He then turned short to 

 the right for Wellesljourue Wood, Walton, and Bowshot, and after leading 

 his pursuers to Lighthorne Rough, returned to his old haunts near Alveston 

 Pastures. This run, which lasted from eleA'en o'clock till past five, and at 

 times going the very best pace, proved that the Warwickshire hounds are 

 what they always have been — " out and outers." Almost every nag wa» 

 knocked up, and their riders were obliged to say " Enough ! " 



On Saturday these hounds met at Avon Dassett, and after vainly trying 

 a snuill gorse, started a fox in a fallow field. After giving a circle, he went 

 away towards Boddington Hill, but, being headed, he led his -pursuers a chase 

 back to Farnboro", where he jumped into a pond in the vain hope of eluding 

 his pursuers, and was killed. In the excitement of the scene, the horse of a 

 gallant Nimrod sprang with his rider into the water, thus inflicting an 

 unnecessary ducking on his master, but affording him the honour of di-agging 

 dead reynard out of the pool. 



On Jan. 26th, 1S32, "Anonymous" tells us of a very 

 severe run from Eadhourne dorse, which was the crack 

 covert of the Hunt, a sure find, and noted for stout and 

 wild foxes. Sportsmen came long distances from Leicesterr 

 shire and Northamptonshire to see it drawn. On this 

 occasion a fox went away at once, and ran nearly straight 

 to Itchington Holt, and through there to Chadshunt 

 Spinneys, and part of the way to Kineton. He next 

 turned back to the Holt, and, after going twice round the 

 covert, went away again towards Kineton, and, turning to 

 left ran to Burton Dassett, wdiere the hounds were whipped 

 off. Out of a field of three hundred only six saw the 

 finish, and one gentleman kijled his horse. 



The Leamington Spa Courier had an account of this run 

 in its issue of Jan. 28, 1S32, evidently by the same writer 

 quoted above. 



The Warwickshire had a tremendous run on Thursday. Drew Radbourue 

 Gorse, and found almost instantly. This is the third time this covert has 

 been drawn this season, and it has the rare credit of furnishing the best 

 description of foxes, and it is almost a certain find, and they have never yet 

 been disappointed of what in sporting phrase is termed an "out an outer.' 

 The fox this morning added fame to the Radbourne breed, and went off
