Wlieatley Village, and away at a good hunting pace over 

 West Burton Farm to Sturton-en-le-Steeple, turning to 

 the left and over the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin- 

 colnshire Eailway to the village, which he threaded, 

 and away on the west side nearly to North Leverton ; 

 but here he turned over the Leverton Eoad and on to 

 Fen ton Bsmk, straight away to the gorse, through it, 

 and on to Littleborough, threading the small osier 

 bed, and running parallel with the Trent up to 

 Cottam Osiers, down to the railway bridge over the 

 Trent and Torksey, and away still at a racing pace to the 

 earths at Kampton, which he found stopped against 

 him, and rattled on without lingering to Fleet Planta- 

 tion, and skirting it away to Colonel Eyre's osiers on the 

 Trent bank, but turned short to the left, went back with 

 those of the numerous field who had managed to survive 

 by Torksey Bridge, reerossing the railway, and run- 

 ning nearly the same line back to Littleborough, the 

 hounds literally racing with their fox for a hundred 

 yards in front up to Fenton Gorse, and nearly up to 

 Sturton, where he turned sharp round into Fenton 

 Bankj and here they ran up to him, but he still tried 

 hard to beat them, and the brook gave him a short 

 respite. But they were not to be denied and pulled him 

 down in Mr. Cobb's garden, after a grand hunting run 

 of two hours and twenty-five minutes, which will not 

 be forgotten by those who were up at the finish.

Dear Mrs. Musters, 



Any details I can give of the great run up to Sturton 

 must of necessity be only second-hand, as my riding in
