180 The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 



leaving the Hall on the right, towards Reed- 

 holmes ; short of which he crossed the 

 Pepper Stell, as if Frigerdale Wood was his 

 point. Being headed on the hill between 

 East Cowton and Birkby, he turned back 

 through Reedholmes covert, and ran parallel 

 to the Wiske up to Hutton Bonville Hall, 

 opposite which he crossed the river, had a 

 look at the '' earth ' ' by the Church, went on 

 across the Park, and over the railway, as if for 

 the Old Whin ; but being headed short of this, 

 retraced his steps over the Park, and was killed 

 at the back of the stables at Hutton Bonville, 

 after an excellent hunt of one hour and ten 

 minutes, of which fifty minutes was fast. 



1905—06. On the 8th November there 

 was a rare scent in the early part of the day, 

 as hounds were able to push a run fox through 

 Hackfall from South to North, bring him 

 half way back (by the Castle), and eventually 

 kill him not far from the Old Whin at Azerley, 

 after going round by Grewelthorpe, the 

 Barras Wood, Sleningford Park, Pond Wood, 

 and Thunder Wood. One hour and twenty 

 minutes. 



The 8th December was a sporting day, and 

 there was a large field out, many people from 

 Lord Zetland's, the Hurworth, and other 

 packs of Hounds being present. Hounds 

 met at Kiplin, and found at once in the Big 

 Wood. After a short time in covert, the fox 

 went away towards Greenberry wood ; leaving 

 this on the left he went on up to Streatlam 

 village, past the Whin, towards Danby Wiske
