294 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



Whoo-whoop says, this was a very severe and capital 

 run, and lasted, from the commencement, for ahout six 

 hours. The horses were beat, and the hounds behaved 

 exceedingly well. 1 



BY WHOO-WHOOP. 



Feb. 13, — Met at Kenilworth, and found in Waiubody 

 Wood, where we ran our fox for 45 minutes ; at length he 

 went away at a very sharp pace, but the hounds ran into 

 him in eleven minutes. Being now hallood to a second fox, 

 we hunted him to Berricote Wood, although he had been 

 gone for 20 minutes, and on to Waverley Wood, where we 

 gave him up. We then found a third fox on Chantrey-heath, 

 which we drove along at a very quick pace to the Glasshouse 

 Wood, where we lost him. 



Feb. 14. — The hounds met to-day at Princethorpe, and 

 on going to Debdale, found a prime fox that led us away at 

 a slapping pace to Print Hill ; through that covert, and off 

 to OfFchurch, where he much disappointed us by taking to 

 ground. We then went ])ack to Print Hill, but did not 

 find. 



1 Mr. H. Horley, as he was riding by the side of the dam near 

 Wickham Mill, on Shakspeare, his horse swerved and fell backwards 

 into the water. Captain Lamb came up at the time on a chesnut horse 

 of the right sort, and assisted Mr, Horley to get his horse out of the 

 water; but, in doing so, he broke one of the stirrups. He nevertheless 

 followed and caught Captain Lamb's horse, which had ran away for 

 some distance ; and after taking him back to the gallant Captain, 

 overtook the hounds about half an hour before they lost, and was up 

 at the time. When the fox first went away. Lord Howth and Mr. 

 Horley had a good start together, and cleared the first brook near Mr. 

 Holbech's house, abreast, five successive times, in spite of tlie advice 

 of Tom Day, who holding up his hand exclaimed ' It wont do.' The 

 Master and several other Sportsmen were up when we lost.
