A WOLFORU FOX. 



BY A VETERAN FOXHUNTER. 



Jan. 25. — We hunted this morning at Wolford Wood, 

 where, as soon as the hounds had been thrown into the 

 cover, they found two brace of foxes. Three of them very 

 quickly got away, while the hounds kept with the fox that 

 remained in the wood. He did not stop long, but he was 

 frequently headed, and that prevented him from breaking 

 away sooner. He ran first for Barton Grove, forward for 

 Weston and Sutton North, near Lord Northampton's, 

 Epwell, and on for the village of Sibbard, full 15 miles from 

 the cover he was found at. He then bore away for Brailes, 

 and on for Halford Bridge j then ran for Idlicote, and over 

 a very fine country for Sutton, and on to Wichford Wood. 

 Here the hounds would have killed him in the wood, if they 

 had not been halloo'd away by a footman to a fresh fox. 

 The hounds, on catching the scent, hunted him over the 

 country to Wolford.
