Firbeck Village, One of the best thirty-two

 and ran round by Carlton, to ground at WaUing- 

 wells. Bitches, 21 couples ; wind, south-west. 



November 26th, 1877. — Met at Blythe Law 

 Hill. A frosty morning, and the ground carried 

 with our first fox, which we ran round by Hodsock 

 and Winks Wood. Found our second fox in 

 Blythe Ashholt, ran across the Torworth Fields up 

 to Brecks Wood, across the park and river and 

 through Blyth Wood, away then by Toadholes to 

 Hermeston Hall, on by Haven Farm to Langold 

 House, on to Wallingwells. Here a turn or two 

 with two foxes on foot but away by Langold ; on 

 as if for Dinnington, but round to his right by 

 Lettwell and Park Hill, up to Stubbins Wood, 

 where we ran into him. Two hours, ten minutes, 

 with only nine of my field at the end. Bitches, 

 2o| couples ; wind, south-east. 



January 7th, 1878. — Met at Babworth Bar. I

 Walker's Plantation blank, found in Eaton Brake, 

 ran to Gamston Low Covert, along the river to 

 Cobler's Holt, to his right and all over the open 

 to Normanton Bridge, the bitches streaming away 

 beautifully, up to Normanton Inn by Cabin Hill, 

 round across the water, over the open, leaving 

 Hardwick Wood on his left, and ran into him 

 before he got to Taylor's Lodge. A capital fifty- 

 three minutes. Found later on in Worksop Forest,
