254 THE MEYNELL HOUNDS, [18(3S 



Finding at Foston, they ran over the brook by Hugo Law- 

 ley's, crossed the railway and the Dove by Coton, and ran 

 under Hanbury church, by Hanbury Wood End, to the 

 right of Hanbury Park, over Coulter Hills, into the Brak en- 

 hurst. Thence they rang a ring out and back again, and 

 lost their fox after an hour and ten minutes. On the 23rd 

 again they had a capital day in Derbyshire. The fox went 

 away from the Reeve's Moor at Longford, and they ran 

 him well over the Park, through Alkmonton bottoms and 

 by the Dairy House, into Potter's covert, where they got 

 up to him. Getting away on capital terms, they ran fast 

 by Barton Fields, across the Longford brook, by Nether 

 Thurvaston, and Trusley, past Radburne Rough, straight 

 on to Langley village, where they got up to him in Mr. 

 Brough's garden. Here he had a very narrow escape, but 

 just managed to get over the wall, where the hounds could 

 not follow him, and ran into another garden on Langley 

 Common, which bothered his pursuers and enabled him to 

 reach Pildock Wood, dead beat. A fresh fox jumped up 

 just before the hounds got there, and there were two fresh 

 ones in covert, so the fox beat them after all. Still it was 

 a capital run — six miles from Potter's in forty minutes, to 

 say nothing of the rest. On the 27th they ran from Eaton 

 Wood to Yeaveley and lost. This brings us to February, 

 and the great event of this season and many others. Mr. 

 Meynell Ingram's account is as follows : — 



Radburne, February Gth. — Found at 11.30 in the Eough, came awa}' to Osier 

 Beds, and out towards Mickleover, where he was headed and came back througli 

 Five Trees and thence straight on to Pildwick (? Pildock) Nursery ; left Radburne 

 village on his left, by the Rough to Trusley and Thurvaston. Here he was headed 

 back and ran to the Rough, where we had two foxes before us ; through the covert 

 leaving Reginald's Gorse on the right, to Mr. Cox's covert at Brailsford, over the 

 Ashbourne road by Mercaston, bore to the right to the Pleasure Ground Wood at 

 Kedleston. We viewed him across the last field to this jDoint. Here we had two 

 scents. Went on by the Vicar Wood, almost to Markeaton, when one fox went ou 

 towards Allestree. Ours turned up the brook side straight up Kedleston Park, 

 through Smith's Plantation to Langley on to the turnpike road, where I stopped. 

 On by White's covert to Mercaston Stoop, by Mansel Park, crossed Spinnyford 

 brook, under Gerrard's Gorse, up to Hulland, over the Belper road by Biggin to 

 Blackwall. Here he turned back and was killed, between Biggin and Hulland 

 Ward, at 3.55. Missy (Miss Meynell Ingram) on Paladin, Bass, Tom Gresley,
