Atcham Jiridfic — .4 Ihiy in TFcs/ Hereford. 11 



Herefordshire. Colonel Price had a siolendid run from- 

 Ahiieley, on Monday, the 9th. Fmding in Foster's 

 A\'ood, close to the meet, hounds ran across the railway 

 to Elsdon, nearly to Penrhos, then left-handed to 

 BoUmghani and Queesmoor, nearly to Cwmma Moor. 

 Skirting this, he crossed the Apostle's Lane, down to 

 the Arrow, and past Huntingdon nearly to Gladestry,. 

 then to the right over Hargest Eidge nearly to Kington. 

 Once more swinging round the hill, this splendid fox 

 managed to crawl into an earth in Worzel with the pack 

 at his brush and saved his life. The pace was good all 

 the way, and their run could not have been less than 

 fifteen miles. A very good day I hear also resulted on 

 Friday from Huntingdon, of which I have not space to 

 speak. 



The Welshpool stag hunt came off a few days back — 

 a sporting feast, which seems to partake very much of 

 the old defunct Epping Hunt. Lord Pow^is's fat stag, 

 dropped down dead in front of the hounds. Surely it is 

 time that these exhibitions were put an end to, time 

 honoured though they may be. How^ much better that 

 the heroes of the day should be the United Pack, and 

 that a good fox from Powis Castle Park should be the 

 theme of his lordship's after-dinner oratory, rather than, 

 a fat carted staj^;. 



FOURTH WEEK, Novembeh 16th to 21st. 



A broken week, in which Jack Frost has held sway for 

 three days, an usual occurence in November. On 

 Monday the Shropshire w^ere at Coton Hall, betw^een 

 Whitchurch and Wem. A cold frosty morning, that 

 gave out hardly a particle of scent, consequently the 

 Coton foxes, in their usual tactics of crossing the London 

 and North- Western towards Prees Heath and back 

 again, had a most succesful exploration, which will- 

 benefit their understanding on the next occasion that 

 hounds put their powers to the test. Some youth 

 astonished the master and field by letting fly at a rabbit,, 

 when much bigger game was in the line of fire. Luckily.
