76 The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 



Wood, away to the west end of this, pointing 

 for Leyburn ; being headed near Harmby 

 village, he turned left-handed by Spenni- 

 thorne, through the Whin where he was found, 

 and forward to Hutton Hang ; then made a 

 turn westward to Danby-on-Yore, bore 

 towards Thornton Steward, over the hill 

 here as if Finghall was his point, but his bolt 

 was nearly shot, and after going a short 

 distance towards Hutton Hang hounds killed 

 him. A very fast gallop of one hour and 

 twenty-five minutes. 



The field got very much scattered, the 

 following being the only people present when 

 the fox was killed. Mr. Booth, Mr. Gerald 

 Wilson, Mr. John Osborne, Hudson (the 

 jockey), and the two Hunt servants. 



As few of the " field ' ' had seen anything of 

 this run, Mr. Booth was prevailed upon to 

 draw again — although the servants' horses 

 were dead beat. A fox was found in Marri- 

 forth, and after a ringing hunt back to the 

 Whin, a beaten fox had to be left, as the 

 servants could not get on. Mr. Booth re- 

 marks * ' a silly thing to do, and I shall never 

 be induced again to draw for a fresh fox 

 under similar circumstances.'' 



On the 19th January, there was a good 

 point and gallop of one hour and eighteen 

 minutes. 



Found a brace in Bamlett's Whin. Hounds 

 divided, but the body took one fox on to 

 Catton village (where he recrossed the Swale) 

 through the Old Whin at Baldersby, past York
