ton.] Dixon saw another pheasant, so from the whin we tried 

 for him in the afternoon but were unsuccessful, 



Nov. gth : Met Hurworth at Low Middleton. Drew 

 along the river banks. Newsham banks blank. Found no fox 

 in Fountains' Plantations. Went to Burdon and found in a 

 stubble field. Ran over the railway near the quarry hole, 

 down past Fighting Cocks to Dinsdale Wood, thro' it to 

 Blackett's, where he ran to ground. Dug him out and killed 

 him. Very fair day's sport. 



Nov. 24th, 1842: Hurworth at Yarm. Drew the banks

 Worsall Gill where he was killed, after running once up and 

 down the Gill. Found again at Farthingside Whin and had a 

 very pretty ring. Left them running near Over Dinsdale.

 Trundlemire, ran a ring to the North to the cover again. 

 Went thro' without dwelling and ran over the hill towards 

 Ingleton, before reaching which he went to ground. Dug him 

 out and killed him. Went to Hilton Tarn (or Cairn), found 

 and ran him through Trundlemire, over the hill, and ran into 

 him in 16 minutes. Very fast. One fall. Rode " Samson."

 some whinny pastures and ran to ground immediately. He

 and bolting.
