The Bedale Hounds. 1832-1908 161 



ran into their fox just before he got to Mr. 

 Gust's Plantations. A first-rate hour and 

 twenty minutes. 



The Pepper Stell took toll of several this 

 day, and there were not only loose horses, 

 but some wet riders ; the former on the east 

 side of, and the latter in the middle of the 

 water. 



On the 8th April, the day after Catterick 

 Races in this year, the Duke was able to give 

 a good day's sport to a very large '' field," 

 representative of many Hunts. 



Hounds found at once by the lake 

 at Brough, and ran very quickly past 

 Brough Whin to Scotton ; leaving the Hall 

 on the north they went direct to Thornhills 

 Whin, past this, over the Catterick and 

 Half-penny House road down to Hauxwell. 

 Here, after a very quick thirty-five minutes 

 there was a shght check ; but hounds hit 

 off the line in Obelisk Wood, ran past the 

 front of Hauxwell Hall, turned up towards 

 Hunton village, then bore right-handed into 

 Wild Wood. This good fox had gone right 

 through the wood, but being headed on the 

 east side, turned over the Burton Beck to 

 Croft Wood, ran straight through this, and 

 leaving Hutton Hang on the left, headed 

 direct for Mr. Conyers Scrope's Whin, at 

 Danby. As it was known there was a strong 

 litter of cubs in the Whin, hounds were 

 stopped a few fields from it. 



1899—1900. On the 20th January, there 

 was a sporting but circular hunt. The 

 Duke, this day, hunting hounds.
