MR. FELLOWES.— 1829. 195 



BY ANONYMOUS. 



MEET WOLFORD WOOD, MARCH IOtH. 



We started a fox out of this cover at the Moreton end^ 

 the pack well up, and the Field in good place. As he 

 crossed Moreton Common, the fleetest nags for a time had 

 the advantage. He then took through Evenlode, and held 

 stoutly on, at his best pace, unchecked, to Chastleton ; and 

 led us gaily along to Addlestrop, in Gloucestershire. Then 

 turning to the right about, he changed his route, took down 

 the meadows, and over Evenlode brook ; crossed quickly 

 the meadows on the other side, gained the high ground, 

 and away to Broadwell. Our fox next made play through 

 Upper and Lower Swell, Upper and Lower Slaughter, and 

 passed by Cold Aston Farm. It was now pretty evident 

 the hounds were gaining ground upon their game. We soon 

 Tallyho'd him in view, and not long afterwards he was 

 turned up by the leading hound. 



Hark-Forward has favoured us with a description of 

 the same run. We killed our gallant fox, (he says,) near 

 to Northleach. The run lasted two hours and 30 minutes, 

 the first hour quick, and the latter part excellent hunting. 

 As fine a sporting run as any gentleman could wish to 

 enjoy. 



THE SAME, BY VENATOR. 



' Happy the man, who 

 With nnrivall'd speed can pass his fellows, 

 And with pleasure view the struggling pack !' 



Sportsmen are flush' d with pleasures high 

 When they this fav'rite cover try; 

 While fancy and her gaudy train 

 To charm the heart, inspire the brain !
