320 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



clevcrlj' the hounds hit it off, and shewed to what perfection, 

 by proper kennel management aad training, homids may be 

 brought. Many severe falls occurred in the course of this 

 day's sport. 



The greater part of the Field returned home through 

 Farnborough, it being their direct road. Here they received 

 a warm and hospitable invitation from Mr. W. Holbech. 

 Stables for their horses, a place for the hounds, and re- 

 freshment for the company and huntsman, were instantly 

 provided. I scarce need add that after so long a run this 

 offer was most acceptable, and having refreshed ourselves 

 with a snap and a few glasses of capital old ale, sherry, &c. 

 the Field remounted, highly delighted with the liberality and 

 hospitality of their generous host, who entertained us — 



' Like a fine Old Englisli Gentleman, one of the olden time. ' 



We all strongly felt how deservingly this observation was 



applied. For myself, I returned humming — The Blood — 



'Of Bugler and Brilliant is all I desire. 



So give me the hounds of the Warwickshire Squire. ' 



BY WHOO-WHOOP. 



Feb. 24. — Met at Lighthorne this morning, and found 

 at Chesterton, ran reynard in the wood for an hour and 25 

 minutes, when we killed. Found a second fox at Itchington 

 Heath, which brovight us at a very sharp pace again to 

 Chesterton ; after running one ring in the wood he again 

 returned to Itchington ; passing over the Heath, he ran 

 through Gaydon Spinies, by Northend, over Burton Dasset 

 Hills, and then to Farnborough. Leaving that place to the 

 right, he went on to Cropredy, where turning to the right 

 again, he made Bourton and on to Claydon, where, from 

 being deceived by a false halloo, we lost our fox. This was 

 a spirited run of three hours and 45 minutes.
