VISCOUNT GALWAY'S HOUNDS. 145 



saw the fox here, and away by Windmill Planta- 

 tion, Dinnington Hall, Common Plantation, to the 

 new railway. A check here, but hit him off, and on 

 by Wright's old gorse, up to Todwick Grange, on, 

 and bearing to his right, they ran into him in 

 Morthen Village. A very fine run. Unluckily in 

 late afternoon chopped a fox in Brampton Gorse, 

 and did no more. A very cold east wind. Bitches, 

 17J couples. 



February 28th, 1907. — Met at Steetley. A 

 white frost. Found in Whitwell Wood, after some 

 turns ; away to Cutbright, to Thorpe Woods, 

 Anston Stones, Swinston Hill, Dinnington, on as 

 if for Laughton, and to his right. A check near 

 Wheat Wood, so I stopped from King's Wood, 

 and swinging the hounds on, hit him off over the 

 valley into Grange Wood, where he had laid down 

 dead beat, and killed him in five minutes. Only a 

 moderate scent, the ground being dry and the 

 hounds wanted a good deal of help, but they 

 worked beautifully. It was a real good hunting 

 run, with a very good point of nine miles, as the 

 fox was never once seen all the way. Did no 

 good in the afternoon with other foxes in King's 

 Wood. Dogs, 16 couples. 



March 4th, 1907. — Met at Barnby Moor. 

 Bathurst (M.F.H. of the V.W.H.) out from Serlby. 

 Ran several rings about the low ground, but only 

 a moderate scent. 



March i8th, 1907.— Met at Serlby. Exeter
