VISCOUNT GALWAY'S HOUNDS. 133 



March 24th, 1904. — Met at Stainton. Found 

 in Stainton Wood, ran for Braithwell, round by 

 Cockhill and Wilsick, through Wadworth and Ed- 

 lington Wood, to ground in a hedgerow. Stopped 

 from a vixen in Maltby Wood, then found in Wool- 

 thwaite Bottom, ran to Malpas Hill, on by Firbeck 

 to King's Wood, away nearly to Barton Wood, to 

 his left by Letwell, Park Hill, to King's Wood. 

 Then away, and leaving Thurcroft close on his left, 

 also Morthen Gorse and Morthen Hall, by Whiston 

 to Canklow Wood. Here, as all earths were open, 

 our fox no doubt got to ground, and fresh foxes on 

 foot too. A fine day's sport. Dogs, 15.^ couples. 



The hounds finished hunting on April 8th, 

 having killed 47 brace of foxes, besides running 

 24I brace to ground.
