VISCOUNT GALWAY'S HOUNDS. 85 



back, but they drove him eventually away by 

 Braithwell, and running from scent to view, killed 

 him beyond Greenlands. Bitches, iSJ couples. 



March 23rd, 1893.— Met at Eaton Hall. While 

 we were drawing the new covert, a fox swam over 

 the river to us, so got a rare start, and I saw him 

 all the way in front of hounds to Apley Head, round 

 it and Sharpes Hill, and killed him at Apley Head. 

 A capital thirty-five minutes. Did no good in Pat- 

 more. Found in a field by Apple Pie, and ran a 

 fast ring for Eaton, then away across to Patmore, 

 on to Bothamsall, to Lawn Covert, over the river, 

 to his left to Gamston Village. Here we were un- 

 luckily halloaed to a fresh fox, who took us over 

 the river again and eventually lost him beyond 

 Jockey House. Two hours and thirty minutes. A 

 good day but disappointing, not killing this last 

 fox. Dogs, 18 couples. 



March 23rd, 1893. — Finished hunting on April 

 6th, the ground being very dry and dusty, with an 

 unusually early spring. The hounds were stopped 

 hunting twenty-two advertized days.
