VISCOUNT GALWAY'S HOUNDS. 117 



Thorns ; twenty-five minutes. After drawing 

 Rampton and Cottam blank, found in South 

 White's Willows, and ran very fast to ground by 

 Norwood Farm. Dogs, 19J couples. 



December 17th, 1900. — Met at Serlby. Found 

 in the bracken, raced round by Bishopfield and 

 Scrooby Hills, and killed by the kennels. Found 

 in Mattersey Wood, away for Scaftworth, but all 

 up the river-side, by Mattersey, then over, on by 

 Otters Covert, over the canal by Hay ton, to his 

 left, to Freeman's Gorse, Clayworth Wood, 

 Saundby Park, up to Wheatley Wood. Here I 

 was taken to a fresh fox, and hunted him away 

 round by Beckingham, but no good — unlucky. 

 Dogs, 21 couples. 



January ist, 1901. — Met at Stainton. Found 

 in Stainton Wood. Away to EdUngton Wood, 

 through the two top quarters of this, away to 

 Conisbro' Crags. He turned at the corner of the 

 road, and away below Crookhill, past Chfton and 

 Micklebring Gorses, on nearly to Wood's Gorse. 

 Turned away to his right through Silver Wood, and 

 the fox jumping the park wall in view, the hounds 

 rolled him over fifty yards inside Thry burgh Park, 

 near the keeper's lodge. A really fine run ; a fast 

 hour and ten minutes. Let us hope a good begin- 

 ning of the century ! Did no good in the after- 

 noon with foxes in Maltby Wood. Dogs, 18 couples. 



January 14th, 1901. — Met at Scaftworth. Lost 

 our first fox from the hills in Everton Village.
