THE WAEWICKSHIEE HUNT. 



[1866 



here; we hear two more were found at Itchiugton Holt, and on Thursday 

 that favourite covert, Debdale, was drawn blank. There must be some cause 

 for it. Cannot some means be devised to stop this wholesale destruction ? 

 If not, we fear blank days will not be few during the season. It is most 

 disheartening to master and men who wish to show good sport. 



Robert Worrall's diary {continued) ; 



26</i, Brailes House. — We had a capital day's sport, and were running all 

 day. Killed a brace. 



December 3rd. — A useful day. Killed a fox from a meet at Long 

 Marston.

Nimrod was a good-looking dog, and good in his work. He was the sire of hounds 

 in the Belvoir, Duke of Grafton's, and other kennels. He had none of the hlack and 

 tan stain in him at all. — W. de B.
