place the pack divided, and the body of the hounds returned 

 to Hampton Coppice. The other part was stopped when 

 running hard for Shirley Street, and brought back to the 

 others at the coppice. That cover being very much stained, 

 we drew Barber's Coppice, where we directly found three 

 foxes ; the hounds ran one, in circles, to Hampton Coppice, 

 Barber's Coppice, and Aspery's Rough, but did not kill him. 

 We then found a fox in drawing Aucot Hall Rough ; the 

 hounds drove him round the cover, with a most melodious 

 cry, for a quarter of an hour ; he then broke away, and 

 went through Chelmsley Wood, over Coleshill Heath, by 

 Thornelow's, pointing for Mr. York's, where they lost him. 

 — A very hard day's work for the hounds. 



Oct. 25. — Drew Long Meadow Wood, found, and the 

 fox went immediately away to Bushwood ; being headed 

 back from Rough Close, he took over Weston Heath short 

 of Park Wood, and ran to ground in Long Meadow Wood ; 

 bolted him and ran him round the wood, where it was 

 supposed, he earthed again. Went on to the Kenilworth 

 Chase Woods, and found a fox that took us away to Balsall 

 Heath, Burton Green, to Long Meadow Wood, and on to 

 the Danvats ; being headed back again, he took a turn in 

 Long Meadow, and then away to the Warren House, on 

 Weston Heath, over the heath to Park Wood, and on to 

 Tile Hill ; here the hounds ran into their fox in good style, 

 after a chase of two hours and ten minutes. — A hard day 

 for the hounds. 



Oct. 26. — Met at Meriden Shafts, and then drew the 

 Packington Out- woods, where we found a brace of foxes, 

 and killed one. Ran the other, in rings, in the adjacent 

 covers for an hour, and earthed him. Found a third fox in 

 Birchmoor Stumps j he ran for the Shawburys, and over
