The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 133 



had to be stopped. This was a good hunt 

 of an hour and fifteen minutes. 



On the 6th December hounds met at 

 Studley Royal. Found a fox at once, ran 

 across to Azerley in twenty minutes, and 

 killed. 



Found in the Old Whin at Ripon Parks, 

 and ran hard by North Stainley, Sleningford 

 Park and Mickley, into Hackfall. The fox 

 ran nearly the length of this large covert, 

 then crossed the river Yore, leaving Aldburgh 

 Hall on the left, into Heslett Wood; through 

 this to Tanfield village, over the river again, 

 across Sleningford Park, and owing to dark- 

 ness hounds were stopped near Potgate, 

 after a real sporting hunt of an hour and 

 forty minutes. 



1894 — 95. There is no run of any special 

 merit to record for this season. 



1895—96. On the 18th December, 1895, 

 there was a fine gallop from Thornton-le- 

 Street. 



Found in the Big Wood there ; ran across 

 the Park, over the Thirsk and Northallerton 

 road, past Brawith Hall, which was left on 

 the east, up to Crosby Grange. From here 

 hounds ran parallel to, on the west side of 

 the Cod Beck, pointing for Cotcliffe Bank. 

 Short of this the fox turned back, and ran 

 to the north of Kepwick Lime Kilns, crossed 

 the tramway line at Mill Hill, and bearing 

 left-handed, was marked to ground in 

 Kepwick Quarry, after a very quick hour 

 and thirty-five minutes.
