306 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



groinid, the scent lay so bad, that the hounds could not 

 make him out. We then went to Lighthorne Rough, where 

 we found a good fox, but we were compelled, by the bad 

 scent, to relinquish the sport. Woodbine was killed on this 

 day. 



Oct, 29. — The appointment, this morning, was at our 

 favorite cover, Farnborough, and we are seldom disappointed 

 in unkenneling, at this fixture, a fox of the right stamp. — 

 Found instantly, and pug led us direct to Dasset ; here he 

 turned short back to the left, and made Warmington, over 

 the hill to Horley, and leaving that place to the right, he 

 Mcnt direct through Wroxton, to Shutforcl, where he kept 

 dodging about the village till we lost him. On leaving the 

 place we viewed reynard making the best of his way up the 

 road for Shennington ; the hounds being laid t©^ htm, they 

 shortly turned him up. The run lasted two hours and a 

 half. 



The fixtures at Mitford Bridge on the 6th, and at 

 Gibbet-hill on the 7th, November, were not attended in 

 consequence of the dry state of the ground, which also 

 ])revented our sport in several other instances. 



Nov. 11. — Met at Foss Bridge. Found at Print-hill, 

 and away to Upton- wood ; which reynard did not enter, 

 but leaving it to the left, he crossed over the road to 

 Chesterton- wood ; being headed, he came back to Radford 

 village, which he skii'ted to the left, and went over the 

 canal, through the village of Offchurch, and then on to 

 Cubbington. He next took the way to Whitnash Gorse, 

 and then to Chesterton-wood. After running two or three 

 rings in the wood, reynard ran straight to Itchington-heath, 

 where he went to ground.
