LKAVKS FROM A IIUNTINC; DIARV 



and back to Matching Tye, to ground in a summer house (Sir Evelyn 

 Wood being about the first up), from which Jack and I and T. Matthews 

 eventually bolted the fox after hounds had gone home. 



Major Riddell will never forget the good hunting run of an hour and 

 fifty-five mmutes from Menagerie Wood, on Monday, March 5th, when we 

 killed in one of Mr. Fane's coverts. I say Major Kiddell, for he and the 

 huntsman were the only two who rode every field with the hounds, or could 

 stick to them all the time. The best part of the run was the first, as our 

 fox went straight away from Park Wood, and nearly up to Brentwood 

 before he turned. Mr. P. M. Evans went home before the run was over, 

 and the Mate on his young mare was out of it — -why will he ride young 

 ones ? — though he managed to drop in in time for some refreshments at 

 Captain Ricardo's afterwards.

I should like to have had <i photograph of his favourite grey 

 hunter which carried him so well for so many seasons in Essex, 

 and must have jumped nearly every ditch in the Roothings.
