VISCOUNT GALWAY'S HOUNDS. 89 



SEASON OF 1894-1895. 



November 5th, 1894. — The hounds met at 

 Gringley. Away at once from the gorse down over 

 the railway by Walkeringham station, to Becking- 

 ham Willows, then over the grass up to Bole and 

 Burton Willows, straight through them by Sturton 

 station, nearly up to Clarboro', but a heavy storm 

 of rain came on and he beat us. One hour and 

 fifteen minutes. A good run. Then found a litter 

 of cubs in Caddow Wood, and after running about 

 some time, killed one. Bitches, 23J couples. 



December 14th, 1894. — Met at Dunham. I was 

 laid up with the influenza, so Sam hunted them. 

 They found in the Willows, and the fox swam the 

 Trent at a little distance above, so all the field 

 were able to cross at Dunham Bridge, and got to 

 the hounds before they reached Thorney. They 

 ran through Thorney coverts, and by the Foss 

 Dyke, on to Saxilby Gorse, through it, a ring, then 

 away, and eventually lost him near Stowe. A fine 

 run. The Dogs. 



December 20th, 1894. — Met at Aston. After 

 drawing Spring Wood blank, killed a shabby fox 

 in Nicker Wood. Found in Brampton Gorse, and 

 ran very fast nearly to Wright's Gorse, to his right
