THE WARWICKSHIRE HOUNDS. 



the run towards the end. Lord Clonmell, Mr. Shirley, 

 Mr. fl. Campbell, and Mr. John Lucy had good places 

 and the huntsman kept his place throughout. The 

 pack returned thirty miles to kennels the same night 

 not a hound being missing. 



On January 8th of the following year Wolford Wood 

 provided a stiff run over a heavy country. He took 

 his line into Gloucestershire, passing over Adlestrop 

 Hill and near to Stow-on-the-Wold, going on to 

 near Cheltenham, upwards of fifteen miles from 

 the place where he was found. The time was over two 

 hours, the chief part of it being cold hunting. Lord 

 Clonmell, Mr. Pole, Mr. Fellowes, the Master, and 

 others, with the huntsman, were up at the death. Mr. 

 Abraham Pole, who stepped into a vacancy in the 

 mastership of the Vine Hounds in Hampshire for one 

 season, was a spirited subscriber to '• the Warwick- 

 shire " and a good sportsman. 



I have already given some account of the sport 

 which was experienced from Mr. Holbech's seat at 

 Farnborough under Lord Middleton. Here is a day's 

 work from the place under Mr. Fellowes. It took 

 place on November 3rd, 1829. The fox went away to 

 Mollington, over Boddington Hill, through Prior's 

 Hardwick, to the left of Prior's Marston, through 

 Griflfin's Gorse, and through Hellidon Village. Then 

 he turned and went through Charwelton Spinnies to 

 Preston Capes and to Church Wood, where the hounds 

 were stopped. A good two hours save ten minutes in 

 a grass country which it would be diflacult to equal. 

 Say not my readers so ? 



On the 7th of the same month, '* the Warwickshire " 

 had a most severe run from Oxhill to Over Norton, 

 lasting one hour and three quarters, and on the 16th 

 those who met them at Oakley Wood had another 

 good day to chronicle. On that occasion a gallant 

 fox went away from Lighthorne Rough in the
