152 The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 



Found in the Big Wood at Kiplin, and ran 

 sharp across by Forest Farm under Atlay 

 Hill, nearly to Pepper Arden ; turned left- 

 handed past Cowton Whin to North Cowton 

 village, then southwards through Crosshills 

 Plantation, across to Uckerby Whin, and 

 back from there to Cowton Whin, where 

 hounds ran into their fox. Another went 

 away from here at once, and ran back by 

 Crosshills and Uckerby Whin, over Lingy 

 Moor to Moulton Whin ; turned back from 

 here through Uckerby, past Cowton Whin, 

 and on over the Park at Pepper Arden to the 

 Bottoms. Running parallel to the Stell for 

 some time, he turned away from Reedholmes 

 and headed over the hill for Felgill Moor, 

 short of which covert, hounds were run out 

 of scent. 



On the 4th March, Mr. Scrope's Whin at 

 Danby provided a good stout fox for the 

 fourth time this season (Mr. Scrope says it 

 was always the same fox, and he named 

 him '* White Tag''). He ran nearly the 

 same line as has been described on the 10th 

 January, except that on this date he made 

 first of all direct for Hudswell Banks, then 

 turning westward he got to ground in Down- 

 holme Scar, after a capital run of one hour 

 and twenty minutes. It is sad to relate that 

 this gallant fox was found dead in Croft 

 Wood some time afterwards, hounds taking 

 no part in his obsequies. 



At the end of this season Major Dent 

 announced his intention of giving up the
