igo FOX-HUNTING RECOLLECTIONS 



of a good run from Crick Osier Bed, past Long 

 Buckby and Whilton, to Brockhall. 



Very fair sport continues, hounds running 

 every day ; the following two seem about the 

 best at this period : — 



" November 28th. Clipston. — Twenty-one 

 couples ; old pack. Drew Marston Wood blank. 

 Found at Hothorp ; ran him very quick the line of 

 hill ; back again away past Sibbertof t, close to 

 Nethercote's Gorse, over Naseby Field, and killed 

 her at the Woollies — a cub bitch- fox ; very nice 

 forty-five minutes. Drew Scotland Wood blank. 

 Found at the Engine Pond; went away to the 

 Dales by Hazelbeach on to Pursers Hills, and 

 back again, and kept ringing round with several 

 foxes till near dark. Rode Beeswax and Weaver ; 

 Will, Gravenell; Jack, Lightning. 



'' November 29th. Glendon. — Twenty-two 

 couples; young pack. Drew Glen Gorse, Rush- 

 ton Spinney, Gaultney Wood, and found in 

 Alder Wood; ran very fast through Gaultney 

 Wood up to Brampton Wood, through it very 

 quick, through Hermitage Wood down to Bray- 

 brook, and ran into him in one of those large 

 fields near Arthingworth ; fifty minutes — an old 

 dog-fox ; a very excellent run. Rode Yafiil and 

 Leopold; Will, Sally; Jack, Shepherd." 



His field appears to have been unruly at times. 

 On the 1st of December at Kelmarsh their first fox 

 was headed in every direction and chopped.
