Oran Whin provided another good fox on 

 the 12th February. 



Found at once and went across the Leeming 

 Lane to Goskins Wood, turned left-handed 

 from here and ran to Kirkby Fleetham Whin ; 

 past this, on through the Scruton coverts, 

 and crossed the river Swale at the south-east 

 end of them ; straight up to Thrintoft Whin, 

 leaving it on the, right by Masterman's 

 and Custs' Plantations to Streatlam Whin; 

 through the village, on to the Tile Shed 

 Plantation, direct up to the lodge gates 

 at Pepper Arden; from here he turned 

 left-handed and ran towards Whitwell 

 Grange, but not having the strength to reach 

 the Kiplin Woods, retraced his steps towards 

 Pepper Arden, and hounds ran into him in 

 the open, after two hours and ten minutes. 



The first hour up to Thrintoft, and the 

 last twenty minutes of the run were very 

 fast. 



The season closed on the 6th April, there 

 having been only one blank day, and 

 twenty-one brace of foxes were killed. 



1872 — 73. During this season no run of 

 any extraordinary merit took place ; although 

 there were some long and persevering hunting 

 ones. 



Mr. Booth describes in his diary, March 

 12th of 1873, as the hardest day's work he 

 ever had.
