296 THE WAEWICKSHIRE HUNT. [I86ft 



middle of a forty-acre field at Fhford Flavel, six and a 

 half miles from Worcester." 



Robert Worrall gives much the same account of this- 

 in his diary, but he adds that the hounds ran eighteen 

 miles, and they had thirty miles to return to the kennels. 

 The distance from point to point is eleven miles, and 

 the date of the run is Jan. 11th, 1809, and the time 

 occupied was two hours. The Worcestershire hounds. 

 killed their fox so near to where the Warwickshire had 

 been running, that Mr. Greorge Hawkes, of Talton, who 

 was out with the latter pack, took home with him a 

 pad of both foxes which were killed. The covert in 

 which the fox was found is Red Hill, or close to it. —

In July, 1866, I was fishing on the river Yefsen, in 

 Norway, when a curious incident occurred. The salmon 

 nearly all ran up into two large pools at the top of the 

 river. The highest of these consisted of more than an 

 acre of water, and two rods fished it at the same time in 

 two different boats, the shallowest part of it, where the 

 fish rose best, being .t^Oft. deep. I was one day fishing at 

 the same time with the Hon. Walter Talbot, when he 

 caught eight salmon in succession, and I did not rise a 

 fish. Next day I lished the pool at the same time with 

 Mr. Watson, and caught eight salmon in succession,, 

 weighing 1.201b., the largest being 301b., whilst he did not 

 ri.se a fish. Mr. Talbot shortly afterwards caught a salmon 

 weighing 471b. — C. M. 



SEASON 1866-67. 

 From the Leruuington. Spa Courier .- 



The Old Wai-wieksliire, under a now master and a new staff, are to meet 

 ou the first day at the aneient and noble domain of H. Speneer Li;cy, Esq., 

 of Charlecote, when he will entertain the eompany at In-eakfast ; and on 

 Thursday at Walton Hall, the residence of Sir Charles Mordaunt. when the 

 inner man will lie regaled by a public bi'eakfast. We trust, after all this 

 feeding has subsided, they will settle down to quiet work, and show some 

 good sjtort. They have all the necessary material — a first-rate country, good 

 blood in the pack, a new man, Inxt with a good old name and repute, who will 

 uphold both and show good sport.
