2 SPORT WITH 



The four best runs I saw during my father's 

 Mastership were the following : — 



December 24th, 1861. — The hounds met at 

 Gateford. The hounds found in Tranka Wood ; 

 they then ran through Scratta to Whitwell Wood 

 on by Hollin Hill Gorse to Markland Grips, but 

 they did not hesitate here, but went on round by 

 Elmton Common to Creswell Crags, thence on by 

 Sloswick to the Manor Hills ; ran straight through 

 them up to the Clumber Lodge, where he was 

 headed back through the Manor Hills away to 

 Steetly Quarry and Scratta Wood, forward on 

 from here all over a beautiful bit of grass country, 

 up Hart Hill and by the Reservoirs through one 

 of the Barlboro' Woods up to the Spink Hill, 

 thence away over the canal opposite to Renishaw, 

 and thence bore to its left to Eckington, where we 

 eventually had to give him up by the railway 

 station, owing to all the railways and tramways. 

 A very fine run indeed. Three hours, fifty 

 minutes. 



The next run was on December 31st, 1872. 

 The hounds met at Thorpe Salvin. After drawing 

 the Thorpe Woods blank, they found in Cutbright 

 and ran over the road straight up to Kiveton 

 Station, then on the left along the canal and 

 leaving Hart Hill just on his left up to Norwood, 

 straight through it away very fast to Barlboro', 

 across the park to Nittiker Hill ; then to his left, 

 leaving West Cars on his right, away to the edge
