VISCOUNT GALWAY'S HOUNDS. 77 



Cross Roads. Found in Mormon Wood, and ran 

 for Hayton with a brace of foxes before us. One 

 went to ground in the plaster pits, and killed the 

 other by Clarboro'. Then found in Hutchinson's 

 Holt and ran away to Hayton Village, down over 

 the canal, over the steeple-chase course, and 

 stopped at dark by Hayton Village. A good hard 

 day. Dogs, iSJ couples. 



January ist, 1892. — Met at Sturton. Ran a fox 

 hard from Fenton Gorse to White's Covert back 

 and lost. Found in Burton Willows, and raced 

 away by Sturton station, on by Leverton mill, to 

 opposite Treswell Wood. An A.i. twenty-five 

 minutes. Here he was headed, and turned down 

 wind, and eventually lost by White's Covert. 

 Drew Rampton Thorns blank, but got up to a fox 

 in Hungry Hill, ran to Laneham, to his left to 

 Rampton, got up to him here in a field : the beaten 

 fox ran to Leverton Village, round to Treswell 

 Village, and gave up on Rampton field at dark. A 

 good hard day, but the hounds deserved a fox.
