46 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



Jan. 22. — This morning we met at Farnborough, where 

 we fomid three foxes in the gorse ; we hunted one over the 

 vale for Edge Hill, and lost him after a rmi of an hour and 

 a half, near Upton. Found again in a small gorse near to 

 Farnborough, a fox that led us a quick run, pointing for 

 Bodington Hill, where we marked him into a drain ; he was 

 got out and killed. Drew again, and found a brace of foxes 

 in Mr. Holbech's gorse ; we ran one of them for an hour, 

 when he returned to the gorse where he was found. Here 

 we had a brace of foxes up at the same time, and after 

 doing all we could to kill one in cover, he broke away ; we 

 ran him at a good pace for several miles, and did not stop 

 the hounds until dark. 1 The numerous Field of good 

 Sportsmen out this day, expressed themselves very highly 

 delighted. 



Jan. 23. — Met at Thickthorn, but the frost prevented 

 us from hunting. We then went to Kenilworth, and after 

 trying for some time, found a fox in Long Meadow Wood, 

 and had a very good hunting run for two hours and a half. 

 The fox first went for Berkeswell, near Meriden, through 

 part of Tile Hill cover, pointed for Ansley, and forward for 

 Coventry, going so near to the town that he would have ran 

 into the New Barracks, if he had not been headed. So 

 many persons had now collected, that in the confusion the 

 fox was lost. 



1 AVe did not reach home until eight o'clock at night. 



The Evening Uniform of the Stratford Hunt Club, was a scarlet 

 coat with a black velvet collar, and a handsome gilt button with the 

 letters S. H. upon it ; black Avaistcoat, breeches, and stockings ; the 

 tout ensemble of which, when the room was lighted up, was very 



good. — NIMROD.
