DEATH OF MR. R. SALE. 157 



Harrington had a good run the same day, so it looked as 

 if there was a scent in more places than one. 



On the 18th, at Foston, a dead, mangy fox was found 

 in a tree, and later on they ran from the old Dove osier- 

 bed, across the river by Fauld up to Tutbury, where some 

 one halloaed them on to a hare. 



Next day most people were at Derby races ; but those 

 (of whom Mr. Grossman was one) who went to Woodroffe's 

 Cliff with the hounds were rewarded by a real good gallop 

 from the Greaves to Loxley, ending with a kill in the open. 

 Foxes were all for going that day, as the first one went 

 from Draycott Cliff, to ground at Houndhill. 



On the 23rd there was a really good old-fashioned run 

 in the afternoon from the Brakenhurst, They ran very 

 fast below Moat Hall, through Chantry "Wood, up the 

 brook side to Field House Coppice. From here they went 

 away best pace close to their fox to Hart's Coppice, where 

 Mr. Power, who had been sailing along in front hitherto, 

 found that his horse had had enough, and had to stop. 

 Over Bagot's Park they ran, as they always do, into the 

 Woods, and out again as far as Duckley AVood, when they 

 came to slower hunting, and ran their fox to ground at 

 Abbots Bromley. 



The season ended on April 6th in the woods. 



On April 27th one of the oldest memljers of the 

 Meynell Hunt, Mr. Richard Sale of Burrows, passed over 

 to the great majority. He had a bad fall with the Quorn, 

 after which he caught a chill which proved fatal. For 

 nearly fifty years he had been hunting with the Meynell 

 hounds, and was a capital sportsman — one of those who 

 know what they are about, and, though not quite ready 

 to cut out the work, he was always in a good place. As 

 a practical agriculturist he had few superiors, and he farmed 

 his own land at Barrow, which his forbears had owned for 

 many generations. 



The principal event in the summer was the presentation 

 to Mr. (now Colonel) Chandos-Pole, of which the followino- 

 account appeared at the time.
