IW WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



ALVESTON PASTURES. 



Found a fox at Alveston Pastures, and ran him by 

 Loxley, through Wellesbourne Wood, and on to Walton. 

 Then along the Bath Hill to Bowshot, where we changed 

 our fox, and ran him throvigh Moreton Wood, and then to 

 Lighthorne Rough. As Mr. Russell would not permit 

 the hounds to be thrown into the covert, we returned to 

 Bowshot, and found the hunted fox. He took us away, 

 first to Moreton Wood, and then on to Newbold Pacey ; 

 left that place to the right, went straight through Charlecote 

 Pai'k, and then off to Al\ eston Pastures. Here we changed 

 our fox, and he led us back to Sir John Mordaunts, 

 where, as it was now getting \ei'y dark, we stopped the 

 hounds. 



WIMPSIONE BRIDGE, .IAN. 24tH, 1831. 



Hark I liark again I the horn so gay, 

 The ' Tallyho,' and ' Gone away;' 

 The hounds in ftill melodious eiy, 

 And ho7semen o'er the fences fly!' 



The meet this morning, January 24th, was at Wimp- 

 stone Bridge. Preston Bushes were drawn in vain, but 

 Wimpstone Bushes soon produced us a fox that was viewed 

 away in gallant style, the hounds following him at a rattling 

 pace. He crossed Preston brook, leaving the Bushes of 

 Preston on the right, and then traversed the fine grass 

 country at Admington, as far as Meon Hill ^ when he had 

 got half w ay up, he suddenly turned down hill, bounded 

 through the valley at a good hunting pace, and took to 

 ground at Mickleton Wood. Here might have terminated 

 a good day's sport, for the mettle of the nags had been 

 tried by the sharpness of the run, and the heavy country 

 through which, they had just passed.
