MR. FELLOWES.— 1829. 199 



On Tuesday, the hounds threw off at Farnborough, 

 where, after a httle parley, a game fox broke cover, and led 

 his pursuers at a very trying pace, over hill and dale ; when 

 after a brilliant and gallant run of three hours and 20 

 minutes, reynard closed an excellent day's sport by suddenly 

 taking to earth. 



BY HARK-FORWARD. 



MEET FARNBOROUGH, NOV. 3rD. 



Found on the Mollington side, and after our fox had 

 taken a sharp ring for 20 minutes, he went to ground. We 

 soon found a good game fox in that part of the gorse near 

 the earths, which went nobly away. Ringed by Mollington, 

 and then took straight over Boddington Hill, and through 

 Prior's Hardwick. Taking the left of Prior's Marston, he 

 led on through Griffin's Gorse, Hellidon village, and the 

 Charwelton spinies, to Preston Gaps, and then to Church 

 Wood, where we stopped the hounds, after a fine run of one 

 hour and fifty minutes. 



This being early in the season, our horses were all 

 I)eat ; and as we knew the cover to be full of foxes, we 

 thought it would be the best plan to stop the hounds, 

 which was done just before they reached the wood. 



MEET OXHILL VILLAGE, NOV. 7tH. 



After the meet, we found a capital fox in Hell Brake, 

 and he went aM'ay at a good rattling pace to Brailes Hill, 

 and by Sutton North. Leaving Cherrington on the left, he 

 bore along straight through Wichford and Long Compton 

 woods, and Rollright Coombs. By passing that village to 

 the left he ran to Over Norton, where we ran into him, 

 after a very good run of one hour and 4.5 minutes. 



This was a most severe day for the nags ; Captain 

 Grkgoky's horse died near Halford Bridge.
