32 THE BILLESDON HUNT. 



28th of October, rescinding his former pro- 

 position. 



On the 25th of October, the hounds met 

 at Wistow to work the cubs, and after the 

 morning's sport. Sir Henry Halford invited 

 the field to lunch, I being of the number. 



Several of the party were interested in 

 the prospective arrangements, and the sub- 

 ject was fully discussed. Sir Henry Hal- 

 ford stated his intention to call a meeting 

 at Wistow Hall of the landed proprietors, 

 owners of coverts, and subscribers, all those 

 present being under the impression that the 

 Marquis was desirous to undertake the re- 

 sponsibilites of master, the more so as he 

 was at the covert side in the morning. The 

 Wistow meeting took place accordingly, on 

 the 15th of November, and was very numer- 

 ously and influentially attended. It was 

 unanimously agreed to request Mr Tailby 

 to continue to hunt the country, which he 

 has kindly consented to do.
