340 WARWICKSHIRE HUNT. 



of great anxiety to the Sportsmen who were fortunate 

 enough to keep their places to the end of the run, and the 

 fox was at length killed by the gallant bitch-pack, in the 

 open. 



The distance, from point to point, was not less than 

 nine miles, which we ran, with but one check, in the space 

 of 41 minutes. Very few were near the hounds at the death, 

 viz. : Mr. John Lucy, Mr. R. Greaves, Mr. Horridge, 

 Mr. Hues, of Cherrington, Mr. Hurlstone, and Mr. 

 Smith, of Pebworth, on his famous little chesnut mare. 



The huntsman on Shamrock was well up to the heel of 

 his hounds. 



THE SAME, BY NEAR-PAD. 



The field, this morning, was not very numerous, but 

 many of those who were present were known to be of the 

 right stamp. We drew Honnington coppices, blank ; and 

 went to Brailes, where we found directly, hallooing our fox 

 away in good style. He went off to Sutton North, by Sir 

 G. Phiups's, of Weston, over Little Wolford Heath, and 

 then turned to the left, over the brook up Long Compton 

 Hill, and he was killed in a barn yard at the top. 



The distance was not very great, but the pace was 

 tremendous, and many of the field were thrown out by the 

 brook we had to cross. Amongst those who had the good 

 luck to witness the whole of the run, were — Mr. J. Lucy, 

 on a bay horse, Mr. R. Greaves, Mr. W. Hurlstone, 

 Mr. Horridge, Mr. Smith, of Pebworth, Mr. Bicknell, 

 Mr. Wallington, jun. Mr. Waddams, on Red Rose, and 

 a few others. This was as fine a run as any one could wish 

 to see.
