326 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



BY THE SAME.— EADBOURNE. 



I must beg to relate, though but briefly I am afraid,, 

 an account of a very beautiful burst with Mr. Thornhill's 

 hounds at the end of this Season. We met at Radbourne, 

 and found instantly ; went away to Prior's Hardwick, left 

 that to the left, and straight on to Boddington Hill, where 

 he was headed. Reynard turned back, came down to the 

 village of Ladbrooke, left it a little to the right, crossed 

 the Learn, between DafFer's Bridge and Thorpe's Bi'idge, 

 and w'as gallantly run into near to a malt house at Harbury 

 Village. The distance was about twelve miles ; the first 

 part of the run particularly quick, and the latter a good 

 hunting pace. Mr. T. Norris, on a grey mare well known 

 for her extraordinary performances, had the cream of this 

 famous run to Boddington Hill. Mr. Thorn hill, Mr. 

 Brown, Mr. H. Horley, Mr. Patrick, and a few others, 

 were up at the death. 



BY NEAR-PAD. 



PILLEETON. 



About the middle of this season we had a very prime 

 day's sport with the Warwickshire Hovmds, which met by 

 appointment at Pillerton. The pack quickly unkenneled a 

 stout old fox at the Gorse, which led us straight away at a 

 rattling pace for Butler's Marston, then for Combrook, 

 over the pool to Frizhill, through Moreton Wood, by 

 Newbold, and down the earths at Middle-hill. Here he 

 made to Barford, reached Warwick Park, and then ran by 

 the side of the rails, as far as Mr. Robbins's house, where 

 he turned back, and went to Oakley Wood, at which place 

 we changed foxes, and the hounds were whipped off. 



This was a very excellent day's sport, and the pace 

 and distance made many of the stoutest nags, especially 

 those with heavy weights on their backs, to give in.
