away, when they saw a lot of horsemen filing off to eat 

 and drink. They succeeded sometimes, as in the present 

 instance, for there happened to be an outlying fox in the 

 bottom below the Lilies, and with him hounds went away, 

 running slowly (so, at least, it seemed to those who were 

 with them, though the others realized what a stern chase 

 meant) by Breward's Car, Passing it, they went on, with 

 Mugginton and Wild Park on the right, over the Ash- 

 bourne-Derby road between Langley and Brailsford, by 

 Nether Burrows, with Dalbury Lees on the left. Then 

 they crossed and recrossed the Trusley brook, left Rook- 

 hills on the right, and went on over the Sutton and Rad- 

 burne lane and the Dalbury brook. Then they hunted 

 nicely on to the right of Bearwardcote House to within 

 one field of the Great Northern Railway, on through the 

 sandpits and Newton's osiers, leaving Mickleover station 

 on the right, and ran him to ground in a drain near Derby 

 Workhouse after an hour and fifty minutes, a ten- mile 

 point, and at least fifteen miles as hounds ran. 



A very fair season's sport ended on April 5th, at New 

 Inn. 



The Meynell Hunt Point- to-Point Steeplechase was 

 held at Marchington, on March 26th. It was ran over a 

 grand line by Holt Hall and Agardsley Park.

Mr. Harry Boden's horse put his foot through a newly 

 made drain, turned a double somersault over his rider, 

 breakins: the latter's left collar-bone, and bruising his 

 chest and arm. 



In this year Sir Tonman Mosley, Bart., died, and was 

 succeeded by his son; Sir Oswald, of whom there is a 

 brief account in the succeeding chapter.
