190 The Bedale Hounds, 1832-1908 



of Gandale Wood, over Black Rigg, and across 

 the moor to Laver Gill, pointing for Hudswell. 

 He now sank the wind, and dropped down 

 into Badger Gill, from there into the West 

 Wood, at Hipswell, turning back from which, 

 he came over the east end of Waithwith 

 Common, up to Wenlock Wood, through this, 

 over Scotton Hill to Thornhiirs Whin ; on the 

 north side of which, hounds marked him to 

 ground, after a good hunt of one hour and 

 fifty minutes. About eighteen miles, as 

 hounds ran. 



At the end of this season, Mr. Cecil Lupton 

 took the place of Mr. R. Booth, as honorary 

 secretary to the Hunt ; the latter finding that 

 he could not well spare the necessary time to 

 carry on the work to his satisfaction. 



The Master was again called upon to pro\'ide 

 a huntsman for one of the Midland packs of 

 Hounds, as S. Gillson went in that capacity 

 to the Cottesmore, under Lord Lonsdale, who 

 had just taken over the country. 



Gillson 's father had been huntsman to 

 these hounds for many seasons, when Mr. 

 W. Baird was Master of them. 



Mr. Moubray filled his place by 'putting on' 

 his first whipper-in, Peter Farrelly. 



At the commencement of the season 1840 

 — 41, I inserted ''some rules as concerns 

 hunting.*' In January of this year (1907), 

 I came across the following, which are so 

 humorous, and yet convey such an infinity 

 of caution as to "what should not be done," 

 that with my apologies to the Western 

 Morning News, I reprint them.
