194 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



The scent lay coldly thro' the day. 

 Oil tilth and fallow, sward and clay ; 

 Still of the pace the sporting train 

 Did not at any time complain. 

 The rising hills and fences too, 

 Found the best nags enough to do 

 To keep their place ; as on he paae'd 

 To Heyford, o'er closures and waste. 

 Near to the wood of Aston Park 

 The Field old reynard view'd — and, hark 1 

 The cheering halloo ! welcome sound 

 To ev'ry Sportsman on the ground ; 

 But to our fox, that nobly fell. 

 It was — of death the direful knell. 



The fox was killed not far from Cheltenham, upwards 

 of 15 miles from the place where he was found ; after a run, 

 chiefly cold hunting, of two hours' duration. 



Lord Clonmel, Mr. Pole, of Todcnham, then a 

 spirited subscriber to the hounds, Mr. Fellowes the 

 master, some other Gentlemen, and the huntsman, were 

 up at the death. 



BY HARK-FORWARD. 



MEET bishop's ITCHINGTON, MARCH 7tH, 1829. 



This morning we drew the coverts at Ladbroke, Rad- 

 bourne, and Watergall, blank. The foxes had been rattled 

 about so much during the season, that we felt but little 

 disappointment at the result. We then went to Itchington 

 Heath, where we found a good fox that led us away through 

 Chesterton Wood ; then leaving Lighthorne to the left, he 

 passed through Chesterton spiny, and from that place the 

 pack pressed him gallantly along to Edge Hill, where he 

 was killed, — The run lasted 54 minutes without a check.
