letting two other foxes go. Found in Nicker Wood ;

 railway up to Norwood, but he bore away to his 

 right, and we killed him in the river Rother, by 

 Bedgrave ; good fifty minutes. Dogs, iqJ couples. 



December 27th, 1895. — Met at Sturton. Could 

 not hunt for frost yesterday, but sleet this morning. 

 Found in Fenton Gorse, ran hard up to Leverton, 

 back to Fenton, then away for Treswell Wood, but 

 stopped the hounds as the ground was so hard on 

 the higher ground. Found again in Fenton Gorse 

 and ran by Leverton on to Rampton Hall. Then, 

 as hard as they could race, quite straight up to 

 Dunham. Hunted him away on for Darlton and 

 leaving East Markham covers on his left, to Upton, 

 and he got to ground under a gate by Headon 

 School-house, but got him out directly with a 

 terrier. A very good hour and fifty-five minutes. 

 A long point and A.i. work of hounds. Bitches, 

 22 couples ; cold east wind.

 to Hungry Hill Plantation, then to his left down 

 to below Laneham, and on to Dunham, away up 

 the Darlton Brook, round by Drayton and Stoke- 

 ham, and we lost our fox somewhere by Rampton
