146 SPORT WITH 



(M.F.H.) out from Serlby. Found in afternoon in 

 the Mattersey Hill New Plantations, and ran on 

 merrily forty-five minutes, having Blako Hill on 

 his right up to Tilne, over the old Eau, and back 

 to ground near Wiseton. Dogs, 17 couples. 



April 9th, 1907. — We met at Serlby, the last 

 day of the season. A very large field out, and all 

 my friends came into the house to see us. Also 

 the Duchess of Newcastle at the meet presented 

 Sam Morgan with an illuminated address and £350. 

 Drew the Laurels, Ruins, and Mattersey Wood 

 blank. Found in the young plantation and ran 

 seven minutes to ground in Mattersey Wood — a 

 vixen with cubs laid up. Then as we were going 

 up the lane below Blako Hill, a fox came into it, 

 so got a capital start, and ran nicely up to Ling- 

 hurst, on by Lound Village, across nearly to Rans- 

 kill station. Got up to him here, and ran back by 

 Mattersey Hill to Mattersey Thorpe, and ran over 

 to the river, leaving Pusto Hill on his right, down 

 to Everton Village, over the hill down into the low 

 ground and up to the river opposite Misson. From 

 here slow hunting all the way up to opposite Baw- 

 try, to his left up for Scaftworth, headed and killed 

 him in the river opposite Newington. A very good 

 hunting run of one hour and forty- five minutes, 

 and a capital finish. The dear old dogs worked 

 beautifully on this my last day, after all these 

 years of hunting my own hounds. Dogs, i6| 

 couples.
