THE WARWICKSHIRE HOUNDS. 



Hon. W. H. Ji 



North. 

 1862-1866. 



A gcood day from 

 Goldicote, 



A nice run from 

 the Burton 

 Hills. 



A fair day from 

 Kineton, 



More sport from 

 Weston. 



Perhaps one of the best things of the season, after some 

 preliminary hindrances, was the day from Goldicote on 

 December 29th. Wellesbourne Wood, Alveston Pas- 

 tures, and part of Walton were drawn blank, but a find 

 was made in Bowshot, which, however, came to nothing;. 

 A fox turned out of Lighthorne Roughs, however, got 

 away to Chesterton Wood, where they undoubtedly 

 changed. He ran by Chesterton Windmill to Harbury, 

 thence through Itchington Holt, on through Gaydon 

 Spinnies, and over the flat to Burton Dassett, and 

 passing Fenny Compton ran to ground at Farnborough, 

 the time having been two hours and twenty minutes. 

 A nice hunting run, however, was that enjoyed from 

 the Burton Hills on March 6th. A fox was found at 

 once on the Hills, and ran with a middling scent by 

 Harbury, over the railway, to Ufton Wood, and pass- 

 ing through it, was killed just on the outside. 



The season of 1863-4 opened at Walton on the 2nd 

 of November. Fred Smith and George Hayger had 

 replaced Bob Worrall and E,. Hall as whippers-in. 

 On the lOfch of December a very fair day indeed was 

 enjoyed from Kineton. They found in the Holt, and 

 ran very fast to Knoll End. Here there was a check 

 for a moment, and they then went away very fast by 

 Hornton to White's Bushes, where a long check 

 ensued. They then hunted him slowly to ground near 

 the road between Hanwell and Bourton. The run to 

 White's Bushes was a good fifty minutes. 



An excellent day commenced from a meet at Weston 

 House on December 22nd. Whichford Wood, the 

 Cow Pastures, and Coomb's, were blank, but they found 

 in Long Compton Wood and ran a ring into Whichford 

 Wood, where they changed foxes and got away fast 

 through the Coombs and along the Hill by the Rollright 

 Stones to Bourton Grove. Going through it he pointed 

 for Wolford Wood, but turned for Chastleton, and pas- 

 sing the Grove went by Broadwell and crossed the 

 Eveulode at Cawthorn, and so on to Addington Ashes.
