308 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



Nov. 22. — Met atDuuchurch, threw off at Ilillmorton 

 New Cover, and found almost directl3^ Reynard took ns 

 away at a very fast pace for 15 minutes up wind to Barby ; 

 but as soon as he turned down wind, he bade defiance to 

 the whole Field. We returned back, found a second fox, 

 and chopped him in the cov^-er. We then went to Mr, 

 Cooke's Gorse, where we found a leash of foxes ; ran one 

 to Rugby and lost him. 



We then took the hounds off to Captain Ibbert's 

 Gorse, where we found a litter of cubs and killed one. We 

 were shortly hallood to another fox, and went away with 

 him, leaving Dunchurch to the left ; we soon got upon good 

 terms with him, ran him straight for the Popels, where he 

 was killed in gallant style in the oj)cn field. The hounds 

 were then taken to the Milvcrton Kennel, and thence on to 

 Butlers Marston. 



Nov. 24. — Met at Whimpstonc Bridge, found a fox 

 at Galley Oak, and killed him after ringing him about there 

 for fortj'^ five minutes. Drew Preston Bushes and Whimp- 

 stonc Downs, blank. Tried and found in Eatington Grove? 

 when reynard took away through the Park to Halford Bridge, 

 where he turned short back to the Grove, and we there 

 lost him. 



Nov. 29. — Met at Southam, and found at Tomlow, 

 when our fox went away at a most tremendous rate, for 3.5 

 minutes, to Bunker's Hill, where we lost him. Found a 

 second fox in Ufton-wood, and ran reynard without getting 

 him out for two hours, when we lost. This was another of 

 those bad hunting da5's, by which the pack had been so 

 much annoyed this season, and the sj)ort we expected so 

 much injured.
