42 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



Nov. 25. — Met at Wellesbourne Wood, and drew that 

 cover, Walton Wood, Frizhill, and Lighthorne, all blank. 

 At Itchington Heath we found a brace of foxes ; one of 

 them soon broke away, pointing for Ladbroke, but leaving 

 that place on the right, he kept forward over the finest part 

 of Warwickshire, for Bodington Hill ; and after very good 

 hunting for above two hours and a half, the scent became 

 very bad, and we lost our fox. 1 



Friday, December 5. 2 — Met at Preston Bushes, and 

 drew that cover, Spernal Ash, and several small places at 

 Alscot, without finding. Found a fox in the gorse near to 

 Eatington, and killed him in cover. Another fox was found 

 afterwards at Eatington Grove ; he was headed two or 

 three times, and then went away for Major Pigot's house, 

 and back for the Grove ; we lost him near Mr. Shirley's. 

 After that we went to Alveston Pastures, and drew that 

 cover, blank. We then took the hounds home, after a 

 fair day's sport. 



Dec. 8. — Hunted at Farnborough, and found in the 

 gorse. After hanging some time in cover, a fox made away 

 over the country, and took an extensive ring for an hour, 

 when we ran him into a drain in the middle of a large field. 

 We after that found a second fox in a gorse, and had a 

 good run over an extent of country for two hours, with a 

 very indifferent scent, and we lost him near Mr. Miller's, 

 at Radway. 



1 After this long and severe day we had full 20 miles to ride home 

 at night. 



2 The frost and snow had prevented the hounds from hunting for 

 s©me davs.
