34 THE BADMINTON HUNT. 



Mr Gales of Crlckstone ; but on a close 

 examination of the exalted retreat, it was 

 discovered that this high-minded fox was 

 not " at home " to the call of his acquaint- 

 ance. Other coverts were drawn un- 

 successfully, till they reached Oatlands 

 wood, near to which a fox was moved from 

 a hedg^erow, and ran throuorh Cranhill 

 gorse, and Dunley gorse, over a nice 

 country to Dunley bottom away, leaving 

 Hullavington on the right, nearly to 

 Norton, where he turned short, and gained 

 Surrendel wood, which he ran through 

 without dwelling, back to Dunley bottom, 

 when he turned for Grittleton Park and on 

 to Seventon, where he ran the hounds out 

 of scent. Thus ended a day which, al- 

 though not productive of sport in the true 

 spirit of the term, afforded a vast amount 

 of pleasure to an immense number of 

 persons.
