The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 125 



1889—90. The following, on October 14th, 

 must have been a fine gallop, but only a few 

 were lucky enough to see it : Captain David 

 Lascelles, Mr. Edward Lascelles, Mr. Bairstow, 

 and Holland. The Master was unfortunately 

 on foot in the covert when hounds went 

 away, and could not get to them. Found 

 in the covert by Exelby Brickyards and ran 

 across by the Reeds Plantation, over Snape 

 Mires towards Horse Close Wood ; passed 

 between that and the Low Wood at Camp 

 Hill, past Chaplin's Whin, and leaving Thorn- 

 borough just on the east, ran by Rushwood 

 into the Norton Conyers coverts ; through 

 them down to the river Yore, which the fox 

 crossed, and on towards Ripon Parks Whin, 

 short of which hounds were stopped, as there 

 was a litter of cubs there, which it was not 

 desirable to disturb this day. 



This was a ten mile point, and hounds 

 were running one hour and a quarter. 



Mr. Edward Lascelles, who had been resident 

 in Queensland for a long time, was heard to 

 remark during this gallop, ' ' By God, this is 

 better than kangaroo hunting.'' 



On the 6th December there was a very 

 good gallop, but an unsatisfactory ending, as 

 hounds had to be stopped on account of 

 darkness. 



Met at Kiplin. Found the second fox in 

 Crossbills Plantation, and ran very quickly 

 across to Cowton Whin, through this, over 

 Atlay Hill to Pepper Arden Hall ; from 

 here the fox turned south to Streatlam
