Jan. 22nd. — Met at kennels. Gutters full of snow and lots 

 of ice on the road. Nevertheless, at noon threw of at Mr. Sur- 

 tees' Plantations ; found instanter. Ran very hard for two hours 

 backward and forwards in these and Sockburn Plantations. 

 At length a fresh fox crossed the Tees at Girsby Scar, and 

 went straight to Worsall Gill, past the Church, then away to 

 Falkland's Whin and forward to Salter Gill where we again 

 changed foxes, our fox being then dead beat. Stopped the 

 hounds near Hetson. Had 22^ couples of hounds out. Fair 

 scent. Rode " Lady Bennett." Out: The Squire, Messrs. 

 G. J. and R. Scurfield, T. W. Waldy, Ed. Waldy, Capt. 

 Hardinge, G. Brown, J. Colling, etc., etc. A very hard day 

 for horses and hounds. Not less than half-a-dozen foxes on 

 foot at Sockburn.
