AND TEE DUKES OF RICHMOND. 213 



Goodwood pack. Another fox stole away during 

 the breaking-up of the first, and being viewed was 

 soon followed by the pack, and after a few dodging 

 spurts from being headed so often was run into at 

 the timber yard in the rear of the house. Although 

 these two short runs did not afford much sport for 

 the old fox-hunters who were well mounted, it was 

 a most enjoyable sporting day for novices, and 

 enabled many to proclaim " they were in at the 

 death," which proud position they never enjoyed 

 before nor have probably since. 



The noble Master, having offered so much sport 

 for the general public, trotted off with the pack to 

 Boxgrove Common to try and afford good sport for 

 the habitual sportsman. Unfortunately this effort 

 failed for some little time, as not only was Boxgrove 

 Common a blank, but Bines Furze and Slindon 

 Common also. At last Dale Park contained the 

 object sought for, and after a tolerably good run, 

 another fox was run into upon the lawn in front of 

 Dale Park House, only about twenty-five sportsmen 

 being in at the death. Thus terminated the ever- 

 memorable day of the re-establishment of the Good- 

 wood or, as it was anciently termed, " the Charlton 

 Hunt." * 



* Since the above was written, the Goodwood Hounds and 

 Hunt have been discontinued, viz. at the close of the season 

 1894-95.
