1760. — Saw the end of the reign of George II., His 

 Majesty having expired on October 25 in that year. During 

 the thirty- four years of his reign, the regular followers of the 

 Royal Buckhounds thoroughly enjoyed and highly appreciated 

 the exhilarating sport provided by the pack. As in the 

 preceding year we have not found any records of the runs 

 that had taken place in this season, nevertheless, it appears 

 by the certificate of Master of the Buckhounds, that down to 

 June 24, 44 stags and 39 hinds had been killed and hunted in 

 the vicinity of Windsor Forest by the pack.
