 Drew Romley blank and unluckily chopped a fox 

 in the gorse by the railway. Found in Barlboro'

 Spink Hills, opposite Renishaw. Then found in 

 Nittiker Hill, and ran by West Carrs to Cutbright

 dale, by Cross Plantation, away to his right, by 

 Red Quarries and by Throapham, on to the corner 

 of King's Wood ; one hour and twenty minutes up 

 to here. Away on for Laughton, then by Norwood 

 to Hoot on Levett, down to Maltby Village, bore to 

 his right to Roche Abbey. Here we had a brace of 

 foxes before us, and I stopped the hounds from 

 going into Maltby Wood. Every hound up and 

 keener to go on than the horses were. A very fine 

 run of two hours and twenty minutes altogether ; 

 twelve-mile point. Dogs, 18 J couples.

 Wigthorpe, and lost beyond Wallingwells. Then 

 killed a very old fox at Hodsock. Then to the Fifty 

 Acres — a brace of foxes ; Abelard killed one single- 

 handed in the open field between it and One 

 Hundred Acres, and we ran the other fox away to 

 beyond Gateford and lost. Dogs, iSh couples.
