VISCOUNT GALWAY'S HOUNDS. 2^ 



Ranby, Chequer House, and Morton. Then away 

 on to Green Mile, and over the canal through 

 Barnby Wood, over the railway and on to Danes 

 Hill, on as if for Lound, and by Mattersey Hill, 

 across the river at Stone Hill. Round Scaftworth 

 back over the river, ran hard for Mattersey, and 

 then back to the river, where the hounds killed 

 and drowned their fox. A very hard day.

 Nicker Wood, raced up to Wales, then to his left, 

 over the railway, to Todwick Grange, on, leaving 

 Brampton Gorse on his left, nearly to Throapham. 

 A good thirty minutes, but a heavy storm came on 

 and lost. After hunting a fox about Dinnington, 

 settled to a fox below the Tips, ran merrily by 

 Laughtonand Lingodell, to Kings Wood, then away 

 up the valley back by Laughton, to ground at the 

 Tips ; on with another fox to Anston Stones. Here 

 we had three foxes before us, on with one, said to 

 be a tired fox, by Dewydale to Swinston Hill, and 

 slowly on to Brands Wood. Here a fresh fox, and 

 after running round by Cottage Plantation, stopped 

 the hounds. A hard good day. Bitches, 18 

 couples ; wind, west.
