up the side of it to opposite Gringley Gorse. Here 

 he crossed it and straight over the carrs, which 

 rode very well, to the river, along the bank to

 lows up to the canal opposite Clayworth. Here 

 he was viewed and ran hard over the grass up 

 close to Tilne, then away over the river to Ling- 

 hurst, back, and to Bollam Broom, Bollam Hills, 

 over the river. A check by the North Road, but

 A very good hour and thirty-five minutes. Found 

 by Ranskill station, and ran about Mattersey, but
