244 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



hunting succeeded for a considerable time ; when at last 

 we got up to him at Chadshunt coppices. From this place 

 he led us along at a good rattling rate, to Kineton ; here 

 our fox turned short to the left, and came back until near 

 to Gay don ; having him now almost in view, he doubled 

 short to Chadshunt House, where he was killed. This run 

 lasted three hours. 



EPWELL WHITE HOUSE, DEC. 8. 



Our fox, the moment we found, went first direct down 

 by Compton Wynniate, up to the windmill, and then on for 

 Edge Hill, turning short to the right, for Epwell-gorse. 

 Leaving that covert to the left, he turned short back to 

 Compton Wynniate, and on for Idlicote. Turning here to 

 the left, he came back to Tysoe, where the hounds ran into 

 him in noble style, in the middle of a field. This was a 

 very fast thing indeed of 40 minutes. 



Went on to Brailes, where we found a second fox, and 

 killed him in ten minutes. — Then tried further and found a 

 third fox, which in about a quarter of an hour we ran to 

 ground. 1 



WHIMPSTONE BRIDGE, DEC. 10. 



This morning we found at Gaily Oak, when reynard 

 split away for Pebworth ; but inclining there to the right, 

 he soon made Clifford Hill. Leaning to the right again, he 

 bore down for Stratford ; then to the left straight through 

 the Cherry Orchard, where he ran to ground. This was a 

 brisk run of 35 minutes. We dug the old fellow out, and 

 gave him another start ; but he was nearly done up, and 

 we ran into him in about ten minutes. 



1 It was on this day that Jack Ransom killed Crazy.
