^66 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



Finding himself equally hard-pressed there, he boldly 

 faced the large enclosures of Pebworth, and skirting the 

 Gorse, he was most gallantly run into and turned up in the 

 open field on the top of Rumour Hill, after a most brilliant 

 run of one hour and five minutes, without a single check, 

 or the hounds being cast once during the whole time. 



The pace throughout was allowed by every Sportsman 

 to be unprecedented, for such a length of time. 



We are sorry to say that Mr. Thorn hill and Captain 

 Smith lost two valuable horses ; the former from his horse 

 slipping his hind leg into a rut, and breaking it short off at 

 the pastern joint ; and the latter from the animal breaking 

 its back in a deep ditch. 



Mr. Woodward, Mr, Smith, Tom Day, and Mr. 

 Shirley's Groom, on a young horse of his Master's, were 

 the only persons with the hounds for the first 50 minutes, 

 owing to the pace, and the large fences ; but the fox making 

 such a sharp turn to the left at Hullington Farm, let all the 

 Field in to witness the finale of this unequalled run. 



THE SAME, BY VENATOR. 



I've often been hunted and chas'd, 

 By dogs tliat could scarce beat a cow ; 

 But these Warwickshire follow so fast, 

 I ne'er got such a breathing till now ! 



At Ilmington village this morning wc met. 

 As noble a Field, as we ever saw yet ; 

 The dog-pack came ou^t in condition so fine, 

 Their soft Aelvet coats as a mirror did shine.
