VISCOUNT GALWAY'S HOUNDS. 53 



February ist, 1887. — There was great chaff as, 

 after a bad day and long draw about Dinnington 

 and Aston, I came to Anston Stones. As it was 

 down wind I said to George Outram, extra whip 

 * * Gallop away to the far end, to halloa a fox away 

 for Dewy dale." We very soon heard a holloa, so 

 off hounds and all of us went best pace, but not 

 being able to hit any line, and asking the whip, 

 he said, * ' I never saw any fox, but your Lordship 

 told me to holloa away for Dewy dale, and I 

 obeyed orders ! ' ' Tableau ! 



February 4th, 1887.— Met at Grove. Hunted 

 a fox from Gamston Wood through Treswell Wood 

 down to Leverton, and lost. Found in White's 

 Covert and raced by Fenton and crossed the Trent 

 at Red Quarries. We all galloped to Littleborough 

 Ferry, but the man had not put the boat back 

 after the floods, so, I with Sam, crossed in a Httle 

 row-boat, ran up to Gate Burton Hall, where we 

 got ponies from Morland Hutton. We found the 

 hounds beyond Lea Station, George Hutton, who 

 came out from Knaith, with them, but having lost 

 their fox. Brought all back over the ferry, the 

 hounds swimming after the row-boat. A scurry 

 from Fenton Gorse, but all the field had gone 

 home. Dogs, 15} couples ; wind, south-west. 



April 13th, 1887.— Met at Rossington Village. 

 Ran quick for ten minutes from Awkley, and killed 

 him by Rossington Farm. Then found in Holmes 

 Carr, ran back by Hunster Wood, by Eastfield,
