1882] PLANTAGENET AGAIN. 81 



Philips' Gorse, and killed him at Fole Hall. A grand hunt, 

 and for the time we were running, and the country, fast. 

 A good many beaten horses." 



On the next day the hounds went to Darley Moor, and 

 again had a capital day — these days, be it understood, 

 being nothing but fair samples. 



" Ran a fine line by Osmaston from Holly Wood up 

 towards Bradley, and lost near Snelston. Found a second 

 in Holly Wood, and lost near Cinder Hills. Found in Lime 

 Kiln, and ran tremendously fast towards Cubley, by Mars- 

 ton Park, back to Snelston, and killed an old dog fox. 

 Very fine, fast run. Never saw hounds go so fast for 

 forty -five minutes. Whole run, one hour." 



Of this day after the ball (on February 2nd), " Planta- 

 genet," in the Field, tells us, and discourses pleasantly 

 of the Meynell country in general. He made his start 

 from Burton, which did not strike him favourably, and 

 arrived in due course at Radburne, where a huge field 

 had assembled. Amongst others, there were present : 

 "Squire" Chandos-Pole, M.F.H., Mr. John Chandos-Pole, 

 Miss Chandos-Pole, Miss Beckett-Denison, the Hon. Mrs. 

 Colvile, Miss Bagot, the Misses Leigh of Amington, Lord 

 and Lady Parker, the Duke of Portland, Lord Harrington 

 (Master-elect of the South Notts.), Lord Berkeley Paget, 

 the Hon. E. Coke, Sir John Hardy, the Hon. E. Pierre- 

 point, and others from the Quorn ; Mr. and Mrs. Firman, 

 Mr. and Mrs. D'Arcy Clarke, Colonels Buller and Milligan, 

 the Revs. R. FitzHerbert and A. Colvile, Mr. Arthur Holme 

 Sumner (Master of the Cotswold), Messrs. Buller, Godfrey 

 Meynell, J. Bird, Hamar Bass, Allsopp (2), J. B. Wood, 

 H. Broadley Smith, R. Gladwyn, P. Cooper (ex-Master of 

 the South Notts.), Roden, F. Rendall, West, R. Sale, Walker, 

 Hodgson, Kempson, Gumming (2), Jervis-Smith, A. Eddie, 

 John Smith, Fountain, A. Grossman, Waite, and Hall. 



The Master drew several small places to get the crowd 

 away from the Rough before drawing it. Charles took his 

 time over it when he did get there, and, having apparently 

 tried every inch of it, reluctantly took the hounds away.
