22 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



hour 5 the scent was bad, and he was lost. Drew on to 

 Lighthorne, and found at three o'clock. The fox went 

 briskly away for Frizhill, and on to Walton ; then over the 

 country for Kineton, pointing for Edge Hill, and leaving 

 Itchington Heath on the right, and then pushed forward 

 for Chesterton. We ran reynard half an hour after dark, 

 and had him among the hounds ; we should certainly have 

 killed him, if it had been day light. The Field was a large 

 one, and the)' were inuch gratified by the sport the day had 

 afforded them. 



Nov. 26. — Hunted at Eatington Grove. A fox went 

 away before the hounds reached the cover, and we ran 

 him with a cold scent over Mr. Shirley's Park, and then 

 returned to the Grove. Drew it again, and afterwards 

 the gorses without finding. Found a brace of foxes in 

 Wellesbourne Wood ; one of them led us to Charlecote 

 earths, and back to W^ellesbourne cover ; from thence to 

 Walton Terrace, and Walton Wood, in which place the 

 hounds changed their fox, and ran him on to Frizhill. 

 The pack here divided, ten couple and a half in one division, 

 and fourteen and a half in the other ; both divisions gave 

 general satisfaction to their attendants, bvit lost their game, 

 after running them well for three hours and a half each. 



Nov. 28. — We threw off" at Lord Northampton's, and 

 found a brace of foxes. One of them the hounds killed 

 in cover J the other was run three quarters of an hour, 

 taking an extensive ring very quick round Brailes, and 

 then earthed near the White House. After drawing other 

 gorse covers we found a brace of foxes at Shutford Long 

 Hill ; we ran one, in two hours within ten minutes, at 

 least fourteen miles. The first part, and the ending of the 

 riui were very quick, and had not the fox gone to ground
