the tufters, and the pack was soon got on him, when a 

 most brilliant run to Brandon Barton occurred. The deer 

 saved himself by mixing with the herd on Scobhill, when 

 the hounds divided in all directions, and drove the deer 

 into the wood adjoining, and into Farleigh brake, from 

 which at least twenty hinds broke, but the old cunning 

 stag would not leave the brake, and thus saved himself. 



October 7//^.— F'ixture Cloutsham. Found in Horner 

 the same stag as we had run on the 30th of September. 

 He broke at once on to the common above Stoke Pero 

 Church, where the pack was laid on. He went away at

 where he soiled ; skirted Badgworthy Wood and over the 

 moor to Brendon ; crossed to Farleigh Combe, beat down 

 to the Lyn, and took soil in the river under Barton. He 

 then crossed over for Countisbury, turned and went down 

 to sea between Countisbury and Glenthorne. Here he 

 took up his position on a rock, from whence he was dis- 

 lodged by the foot people, and went away as if he was 

 going to the open again. He turned, however, to Glen- 

 thorne, and took refuge in a small wood just above the 

 beach. Being pressed by the hounds, he leapt on to the 

 beach, and went to sea, where he was taken, and on being 

 brought to shore was killed. The pace throughout was 

 first-rate.

 for the coverts around Barbrick mills ; these were drawn 

 blank ; returned to Cheriton Ridge, when shortly a ' tally- 

 ho' was heard from Parsonage Wood, and a fine hind 

 broke for the open, and up the side for Farleigh and
