The month of November, a blank, as far as good runs were concerned.

 Park Woods — our steeplechase course — to Rundells, with a kill. 



Monday, December nth. — Dagenham. Another clinking good run of 

 an hour. 



Wednesday, December 13th. — Nasing Common. Those who were lucky 

 enough to see the run from the marshes, behind Holly field Hall, to the 

 Forest, will never forget it — pasture, pace, point. 



Monday, December i8th. — Swallows Cross. A most enjoyable day, 

 ending in a good gallop from Hylands to Galleywood Common. 



Wednesday, December 20th. — Thrushes Bush. "Good wine needs no 

 bush," so from Harlow Park to Luftman's Earths (50 mins.) speaks for 

 itself. 



Wednesday, December 27th. — Kelvedon Common. A screaming twenty 

 minutes from Mr. D. Christy's cabbage field to Ongar Park. Gerald

Went down into Northamptonshire about this time, so have no further

 Down Hall, Brick Kilns and ]\Ian Wood coverts. 



Monday, February 5th. — Shonks Mill. A very fast thing with ^Ir.

 day no one ought to have missed. 



Wednesday, February 7th. — Nasing. A teaser from Galley Hills, over 

 Nasing Common to ground at Parndon. 



Wednesday, February 14th. — Thrushes Bush. The plough at its best in 

 the evening run, with a fox froni Harlow Bury Farm, killing him in the 

 open beyond Sheering Street. 



Frost set in on the 19th ; disappeared suddenly on 24th. 



Saturday, February 24th. — White Roothing. The evening gallop of fifty 

 minutes (with an outlying fox at the back of Hatfield town), better known 

 as Mr. Collin's run, ranks second to none this season. 



Monday, February 26th.— Passingford Bridge. Hounds beat us all in

 fox scored again in the gallop (which only ten stayed for) from North 

 Weald to Moreton Wood. 



Wednesday, February 28th. — Little Laver jNIill. No day for feather-bed

 to Poplars, and finishing up with two fast runs by Matching Park. 



Monday, March 5th. — Swallows Cross. One hour and fifty-five
