I70 RADNOR REMINISCENCES 



at last, and another season is on, so sit down in your saddle 

 and keep his head straight." 



My first day of the season was with the Cheshire, on 

 August 19th. 



Frank Dare brought out a mixed pack of twenty-seven 

 couples. The most hospitable Master, Mr. Kerr, and my- 

 self constituted the field. The wood which hounds drew 

 was full of cubs. We viewed them in all directions, and af- 

 ter an hour and a half of very interesting work, went in. 



The season at Radnor opened on September ist, and, 

 barring some dry weather in October, the prospects were 

 most promising. 



Will Leverton brought out a beautiful young entry that 



went to their work in pretty good style. Some of them 



were a bit riotous at times; but what puppies are not, 



when tempted by a nice fat bunny running in front of 



them? 



Saturday, gth October, 1920 



For a cubbing morning and a seven o'clock meet up- 

 country, there was quite a fair-sized field out, thirty-five, I 

 counted one time, but not at the end of the very nice 

 twenty-three minutes' gallop, I assure you. 



After drawing the Hawthorne and several other coverts 

 blank, hounds picked up a cold and spotty line in Lock- 

 wood's Hollow, and, working it with great difficulty, car- 

 ried it with several bursts of music to Cathcart's Rocks, 

 where they swung sharply left-handed and went away at 

 good pace with one hound quite far out in the lead, across 

 the Seventy-Six Farm into Lockwood's, then through the 

 Delmas lane and over the White Horse Road into Innes's 

 Wood, to Brooks's, throwing it up near the du Pont barns 

 at Centre Square. Every one was dripping, including the 

 horses, and all had had enough.
