From the Lrajj/u/r/fo/i Spa Courier, March 16th : 



The Warwickshire liounds met on Tliursday at Harwood's House, and 

 trotted to Warwick Park, where a gallant fox was found, who broke at tlie 

 top end and pointed for Whitnash. through the spinney, crossed the road at 

 the top of the liill, leaving Whitnash Gorse to the right and Radford to the 

 left, straight up the valley to Ufton Wood. Pug here made for another point, 

 through Print Hill and on for Oft'church, through Himningham Copj)ice, 

 where he ran to ground. A short distance fui'ther and pug must have died, 

 for the hounds ran him iu Anew across the two la.st fields. This was a good 

 run across a stilf ploughed country.
