VISCOUNT GALWAY'S HOUNDS. 39 



and then rode across the Isle, and could hear the 

 hounds a long way before me. I followed them 

 across the Isle to Finningley and eventually found 

 the hounds by Rossington Village, having either 

 killed their fox or run their fox to ground, as they 

 were quite satisfied. Two hours, fifty minutes. A 

 very fine run. Bitches, 19 couples ; wind, west. 



December 31st, 1883. — Met at Barnby Moor. 

 Did no good with the fox from High Wood, as he 

 was headed in every direction. Found in the 

 rushes by Tilne, ran on to Bollam, away over the 

 river and canal to Babworth, then on, hunting 

 slowly to Morton Grange, to Apley Head. Here a 

 brace of foxes, ran on by Silver Firs, Culloden, 

 Apley Head, the Silver Firs again, down parallel 

 with the railway, over it by Rayton Holt, and, 

 viewing our fox, the hounds ran into him in the 

 middle of a field between Worksop and Worksop 

 Forest. A good hunting run. Bitches, 19J 

 couples ; wind, east. 



January ist, 1884. — Met at Sandbeck. Found 

 in Maltby Wood and ran a quick ring of thirty 

 minutes round by Lilley Hall, about the wood by 

 Rough Park and Hell Wood, to ground, and got 

 him. Then hunted a fox from Foulds Wood with 

 a bad start, away by Styrrup. Found in Toad- 

 holes and raced up for Styrrup, to his left, by Her- 

 miston, across to Ashton's Farm, by the edge of 

 Carlton Village, straight to Champion's Planting. 

 A capital fifty minutes without touching a covert.
