Jack found a gallant animal of the old sort in Hon- 

 nington Spinney. Away he went for Idlicote House, 

 heading for Fulready, but changing his mind he moved 

 his head round for Eatington Park, and going through 

 the Grove and Fir Grove, passed through Alveston 

 Pastures, without stopping to meditate on his next 

 move. At Loxley he shifted his line and again crossed 

 the pastures, and after taking* little wind at Fir Grove, 

 laid it for Alscote Park. Leaving this and sinking the 

 vale he successfully arranged a long check and nearly 

 check-mated the pack, and although they picked his line 

 up again, another fox dipped his fingers in the pie and 

 considerably complicated matters, but they stuck to 

 their fox and displaying all the powers and qualities 

 of the Warwickshire pack, and being splendidly 

 handled by Boore,they finally pulled him down close to 

 Admington. The distance up to Loxley was about 17 

 miles and the pace was very fast. The time was two 

 hours and a half. Lord Willoughby re-appeared in 

 command at the Long Itchington meet on Thursday, 

 February 27th, and gave the large field which welcomed 

 him some capital gallops on the grass which abounds 

 on that side of the country.
