1863J THE GREAT RADBURNE RUN, 221 



tired one going back. This did for " Cecil," who got wind 

 of where the hunted fox had gone, and waited for the 

 pack to come to him ; but instead of that on they went, 

 too fast for any one to stop them, by Dalbury and 

 Trusley, where Mr. Clowes lamed his horse over the brook 

 and had to retire. Between Etwall and Sutton Hill, Mr. 

 R. FitzHerbert got a nick, which enabled his young filly,

 on January 10th from Spencer's Plantation ; but there 

 must have been some mistake, as hounds were at Swarkes- 

 ton Bridge on that day. But they did have an excellent 

 hunt on January 13th, 1863, all round and about the 

 woods, which is thus described : — 



" Found in the Heathfield, ran several short rings in 

 the woods, then went away across Blithfield Warren, New- 

 ton Hurst, up the Tad brookside to Kingston Woods, 

 into Lord's Coppice, out again by Dunstall, Blithfield 

 Warren, up the peaty fields by Hyde's, into the woods, to 

 Lord's Coppice, by Charles's of the Moors, in front of
