MR. RUSSELL— 1833. S.'Sl 



returned back straight to Farnborough, where he ran to 

 ground. This run lasted an hour. Reynard was bolted, 

 and the hounds threw him up in the second field. 



THICKTHORNE, FEB. 2fi. 



Drew the wood, blank. Found a fox at Berricote- 

 wood, which led us away through Milverton and Cubbing- 

 ton, and then down to Offchurch. Crossing the water, he 

 made away for Long Itchington, and turned short back to 

 Offchurch, where he was killed, after a run of one hour and 

 45 minutes. 



AVON DASSETT, MARCH 2. 



A fox was found this morning at Windmill-hill, which 

 led straight off to Bodingtoii, and then to Prior's Hardwick. 

 Leaving that place to the left, he ran back direct to Farn- 

 borough, and was there turned up, after a run of about 50 

 minutes. 



MITFORD BRIDGE, MARCH 19. 



Drew Wolford Wood, and found. Our fox led us off 

 for Moreton-in-Marsh ; leaving that place to the right, he 

 led on to Addlestrop, where we killed. The run was a good 

 one of 43 minutes. 



The weather had been so unfavourable nearly for three 

 weeks, and the scent lay so bad from the prevalence of fogs, 

 sleet, snow,- and other impediments, that the hounds, when 

 they did meet, had not a fair chance to shew any sport. — 

 This falling off, just at the end of the season, was much 

 regretted. The hounds were in as good condition, and the 

 horses as fit for work, as they were at any time since they 

 commenced hunting, but they were beaten by the weather. 

 The atmosphere was most unfavourable to scent.
