 Covert the hounds were thrown in. and after a time a fox was sent away from 

 the Hai-dwiek Field side, over the Tysoe Brook, where numerous immersions 

 took place. Pointing for Hardwick Fann, and over Herd Hill, the hounds 

 with a grand cry ran, with but few of the field near them, through Pillerton 

 New Covert, when the hounds took a tuni, leaving the Old Covert on their 

 left and Pillerton Village behind to the right, dipped into the Vale down to 

 the Oxhill Brook, where some came to gi'ief The hounds on the other side 

 of the stream hunted nicely into Oxhill Goi'se. and here, in this dense covert, 

 a fresh fox upset the performance and the pack got divided. A few couples 

 of the leading hounds stuck to the line of their hunted fox, and, with the 

 noble huntsman, who had lost his whips, they went away again over the 

 brook, then to the right of Whatcote Village, through The Brake almost up 

 to Honington ; ringing to the left along the valley, breasting Brailes Hill, 

 continuing on leaving Spencer's Gorse l)ehind on the left, with Winderton 

 Village on the right, eventually his lordshi]). single-handed, ran his fox to 

 ground, after a racing run, in Epwell Warren, with a few good riders up to 

 share the disappointment of such a finish. Simultaneously with this event. 

 Jack Boore and the second whip went away with the rest of the hounds upon 

 the fresh customer from the gorse with most of the field in their wake, over 

 Kirby Fai*m, pointing for Compton Wyniates, and the himting was continued 

 on and through Tysoe Village, finally losing their quari-y in Lower Tysoe. 

 As soon as tlie pack could be got together again, his lordship drew Spencer's 

 Covert, and here another was soon padding it. and he broke away at the upper 

 end of the covert, over Mr. Spencer's farm, piloting to the left of Winderton 

 Village, and Avas eventually marked to ground on Winderton Hill. Another 

 call Avas made upon Oxhill Gorse, but, as might Avell he expected, it did not 

 hold a fox, so a trot on Ijrought them to Kineton Holt, and a fox Avas sent 

 aAvay from here OA'er the brook, aci-oss HardAvick Farm, over Hei'd Hill, Avhere- 

 aboiits seA'eral saddles were emjitied. At this juncture the fox was headed 

 back, and tlie hounds turned .short to the left, pointing for the Sun Rising. 

 They left Tysoe Village on the right, and after hunting on past the Sun 

 Rising, and AA'liilst running in the direction of Shenington Irons, a check 

 oceui'red Avhen darkness was setting in. and further attempts of recovering 

 the line Avas abandoned, and orders were for liome. 



With all due deference to the correspondent of the 

 Co/frier, I Avould ventnre to remark that the fox which 

 went to Tj'soe was almo.st certainly the hunted fox. —
