50 SPORT WITH 



April 22nd, 1886. — Met at Jockey House, the 

 last day of the season. A very large field. Found 

 at once by the ford, ran to Lawn Covert, back to 

 Patmore, away again by Lound Old Church, for 

 Bevercotes, round to the Decoy, back to Patmore. 

 Away for Markham Clinton, on through Bevercotes 

 Park and Nicker Bush, to the Decoy, where they 

 nearly caught him, on to ground under the road 

 by Elkesley Village, and got him. A good hunting 

 run to finish with. Dogs, 15^ couples ; wind, 

 north. 



The hounds were stopped hunting twenty-six 

 advertised days by frost, and a very unsatisfactory 

 season for stormy weather.
