154 THE WARWICKSHIRE HOUNDS, • 



Mr. H. Spehcbr him to death. The funeral of Mr. Campbell took 



1866-1876. P^ace the same day and so the master was not out. 



There were about a dozen at the death. The distance 



was about 18 miles, as the hounds ran, and the finish 



30 miles from the kennels. 



On February 1st, the meet was at Charlecote 



Village. Mr. Lucy was not out and Lord Willoughby 



, de Broke acted as field master. They found in Hamp- 



A long run from ttt i i -ry • -r. / • i i • i 



Hampton Wood ton Wood and ran to Warwick Park, up wind, which 



was very rough, without a check. They ran into him 



in the open, only the huntsman and whips being with 



them. There was a large field, but they got thrown 



out and were unable to find the hounds afterwards. 



The time, from find to kill, was thirty-nine minutes.

from Tysoe. cribed as an after thought, occurred about this time. 



The meet had been in the Brailes country. Foxes were 



scant, and on the way home, not in the cheerfuUest of 



minds, a large fox was discovered in a small gorse near 



Tysoe. Hounds then went at a ripping pace, without 



a check, up the hill past Upton, across^iCamp Lane, 



straight over the valley, leaving Farnborough House on 



the left, and straight down to ground within two 



fields of Cropredy station. There were five or six 



horses in the air together as they went over Farnborough 



Brook.
