192 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



Of Chapel House we caught a sights 

 Then left it bearing to the right. 

 Sweeping across the open grounds, 

 He led, in style, the willing hounds 

 To Heythorpe Park ; but even here 

 No friendly refuge did appear. 

 Still press'd along — he headed now. 

 And took for Sandford Park — but how 

 He kept his rate so long and well 

 Before the pack, which never fell 

 Into cold hunting — the fav'ring scent 

 Grew stronger as they faster went, 

 Astonish'd all who kept their place 

 In this severe and matchless chase. 

 Then near to Sandford village ran. 

 Where, turning to the right again. 

 He first was view'd — with ardour new 

 The pack continud to pursue 

 Their game — and kill'd near Kiddington 

 As stout a fox as ever run. 



Kiddington village lies to the left of Ditchley Woods. 

 The chase lasted an hour and 50 minutes. This was one 

 of the finest runs we had seen for many years, and the 

 termination was most satisfactory. Towards the latter end 

 of the chase, the Duke of Beaufort, Lord Dillon, and 

 some other gentlemen, joined the Field. 



Lord Clon?*iell, Mr. Shirley, Mr. H. Campbell, 

 and Mr. J. Lucy, had good places, but their horses were 

 all beat. The huntsman kept his place. 



The pack returned to kennel, not less than 30 miles, 

 the same evening — not a hound missing.
