1880] CAPITAL CUBLEY DAY. 53 



The first being the Bradley Tuesday, described above 

 in Lord Waterpark's diary. 



From Lord Waterpark's diary : — 



Saturday, Draycott Cliff. — One fox only in the whole of the Banks, no scent 

 in covert, and soon lost him. Found in the Cliff Banks, ran about the woods, over 

 the Park, back over Buttermilk Hill, and out, through Tomlinson's corner, nearly 

 to Newborough and into the Greaves. 



Monday, Decemler 13th, Blithlury. — Found in Hay End Wood, ran a ring 

 by Pipe Wood and Gold Hays Fields down for Pipe Ridware, back by Hamstall 

 Ridware, and on to Purley Hill, and lost. Found in Rough Park, and ran to 

 ground in Ridden's Pit. Killed a fox in the Bath Covert at Hoar Cross, found 

 again in the Chantey, ran back to the Lawn Pit, and lost. 



On Tuesday, at Cubley, in addition to those out on the 

 previous Thursday, there were Mr. Clowes, Lord Petersham, 

 Messrs. Coke, Bird, Firman, F. Cotton, T. P. Kempson, 

 Nuttall, Sir John Hardy, Col. FitzHerbert and daughters, 

 G. H. Allsopp, H. Bass, M.P., etc. 



They found in Cubley Gorse, ran very fast up to the 

 Lime Kilns at Snelston, right through the corner of the 

 Holly Wood, pointing for Shirley Park, swung to the right 

 within three fields of Longford Car, where there was a 

 leash of foxes in front of them. Into the Car they 

 went, and nearly caught the fox in the churchyard 

 beyond, but he struggled on to the Shrubberies, and there 

 they caught him, after a good hunt of just an hour. The 

 first part was very fast, and the hunted fox probably went 

 on to Bentley Car. They found again in Reeve's Moor, 

 and ran by Hollington up to Nun's Fields, and on to 

 Trusley. No sooner were they over the brook than they 

 ran hard to Radburne Rough. Hence the fox was viewed 

 away more than half beat, and they ran him well to the 

 Nursery Covert, brought him back from there, over the 

 road, through the Black Covert, and, running from scent 

 to view, bowled him over in the open four fields beyond 

 the Great Northern and Mickleover Railway, after a 

 capital run of one hour and a quarter, with no check worth 

 mentioning. 



Every one was delighted with the sport the hounds
