40 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



Mickleton, and through an extent of as fine a country as 

 a Field e\ er rode over for near ten miles, to the village of 

 Welford, where he was lost ; the run was a very quick one, 

 only two hours. 1 



Nov. 13. — On putting the hounds into Wolford Wood, 

 we very soon found a brace of foxes ; one of them instantly 

 left the cover, and went over the country for Barton Grove, 

 near to the cover, but did not go into it ; then went forward 

 pointing for Chapel House ; when the hounds got close 

 up to their fox, he earthed in a stone quarry. 2 — We after- 

 wards drew Barton Grove and Wichford Wood, and to our 

 great disappointment, did not find. 



Nov. 14. — Hampton Wood was the place of meeting, 

 this morning, but we did not find till we came to Snitterfield 

 Bushes. Our fox took away for Austey Wood, where we 

 had three foxes afoot. For some time we ran rings, in and 

 out of cover ; at last we got away after one to Snitterfield, 

 and killed in that cover, after running him for more than 

 two hours. 



Nov. 16. — At the meet, Weston Park, we found three 

 brace of foxes, which we constantly changed. As we drove 

 some of them out of cover, the hounds divided ; one part of 

 the pack turned up their fox in the open country, a short 

 distance from the cover ; the other part earthed their fox 



1 Mr. Boycot went away with the hounds ; had Mr. Corbet been 

 there the fox certainly would have been killed. Mr. Boycot was much 

 delighted at having- all the sport to himself. 



2 The hounds ran at their quickest pace for 25 minutes ; so fast 

 that but few of the Field could keep up with them ; 1 had that pleasure. 

 Mr. Morant was first up in the run.
