1894 RUN FROM SPENCERS GORSE. 279' 



Pillerton. The I'illertuu Coverts were drawn blank, and 

 a fox was found at Oxhill Covert, which was hunted over, 

 the brook nearly up to Whatcote Village, thence across 

 Kirby Farm, and over the hill to Compton Wyniates, and 

 to ground in Meadow Lane Covert after twenty minutes 

 without a check. Another fox was found at Spencer's Gorse, 

 which proved a very stout one. Breaking aw^ay at once, he' 

 first set his head for Tysoe, then turning to the I'ight over 

 Compton Wyniates Hill, leaving Epwell Warren to the 

 left, he bore to the right as if for Traitor's Ford ; thence 

 left-handed he went over the Vale, and to the left of 

 Sibford Village, over the Brailes and Banbury Koad, and 

 leaving Shutford Spinneys on the left, the pack ran on at 

 a great pace, leaving Swalcliffe Village on the right, to. 

 Sibford Heath, wdiere this good fox got to ground just in 

 front of them, after a very good run of nearly eight miles 

 from point to point. 



On Tuesday, the 13th, another good day's sport took 

 place from a meet at AVolford Village. A fox was found 

 in the wood, and the hounds soon got away wdth him, 

 passing through Flat Heath and Barton Grove, and over 

 the hill, and eventually killing him in the Heythrop 

 country, in the open, close to Four Cross Inn and not far 

 from the Heythrop Kennels. Another fox was found at 

 the Golden Cross, and the pack got away on good terms 

 with him ; he ran first nearly to Shipston-on-Stour, then 

 over Todenham Hill, and on for the Golden Cross Inn, 

 over the Fosse Road, pointing for Potter's Bank, then to the 

 right across the Vale, alongside the railway, and again to 

 the right across the Fosse Boad, and over TreddingtonHill, 

 close up to Shipston, and over the Stour, by Honington 

 Hall, across St. Dennis Farm, and again towards Honing- 

 ton Hill, where the hounds threw up, and their quarry beat 

 them after a very good gallop, in which many came to grief.
