thoroughly satisfied), up Long Down, through Eartham 

 Common i'ields,and Kemp's HighWoods (here Billy Ives 

 hired his second horse, and took Sir AVilliam, by which 

 the Duke of St. Albans had no greatcoat, so returned to 

 Charlton). From Kemp's High Wood the hounds took 

 away through Gun worth Warren, Kent Eough Piece, 

 over Slindon down to Madehurst Parsonage (where 

 Billy came in with them), over Poor Down up to Made- 

 hurst, then down to Houghton Porest, where his Grace 

 o£ Eichmond, General Hawley, and Mr. Pouncefoot 

 came in (the latter to little purpose, for, beyond the 

 E,ace Hill, neither Mr. Pauncefoot nor his horse, Tinker, 

 cared to go, so wisely returned to his impatient friends) ; 

 up the Race Hill, left Sherwood on the right hand, 

 crossed Offham Hill to South wood ; from thence to South 

 Stoke, to the wall of Arundel Kiver, where the glorious 

 twenty-three hounds put an end to the campaign, and 

 killed an old bitch fox, ten minutes before six. Billy 

 Ives, his Grace of Bichmond, and General Hawley, were 

 the only persons in at the death, to the immortal honour 

 of seventeen stone, and at least as many campaigns." 



The Charlton Hunt came to an end, and the kennel 

 was removed for a short time to Goodwood, afterwards 

 to Petworth, whose owner, Lord Leconfield; is still the 

 M.F.H. of his locality.

HUNTING SONG FOE THE TEAK 1824. 



I am a jolly huntsman, and rise before 'tis day; 

 Let loose my dogs, and mount my horse, and halloo 

 come away. 



And a hunting we will go.
