With my heavy weight (220 lbs.) I keep along; a steep 

 track far below the hounds who have fortunately for 

 most of the field their noses to the ground. The hunts- 

 man is doubling his horn cheering them on as one hound 

 after another picks up the line and lifts up his voice. 

 Lawyer, with his fine nose and wonderful tongue, is cutting 

 out the work. Then Sportsman dashes in front and so 

 the rivalry goes on. 



We sink the hill by a farm road to a valley below where 

 a main turnpike runs. My horse is just about all in, but 

 he comes downwards at a trot throwing his forefeet a bit 

 wildly. Down below are several horsemen, among them 

 my second horseman Jimmy Drummond. As we get to 

 the road the huntsman jumps from his beaten horse to a 

 fresh mount. Several of us do the same. The pack is 

 traveling again. Away in the distance a shepherd's hat 

 is in the air, a signal that the quarry has passed in. My 

 horse, one of the great showyard heavy weights of Eng- 

 land is pulling double. We skirt another hillside with a 

 wall running diagonally across it; )our eye scans it for a 

 weak place, half way there is a gateway. The gate is 

 tied, so I go right at it. There is a rattle, it sounds like 

 a top rail gone, but there is no time to look back. 



The hounds point for a wood a mile or more away. 

 When they get inside there is a tremendous chorus. We get 

 through the wood by a ride near the middle of it. Down 

 the hill hounds are streaming, scarce a note coming from 

 them. Away we go at breakneck pace down a steep hill, 

 across a level field at the bottom of it. The hounds 

 have the best of it, but they falter at a road up which 

 the fox has run a couple of hundred yards. 



Steady now, ladies and gentlemen, let them puzzle 

 it out! Bridget has him up the road to an old wood. 

 Here the pack sneaks again. We follow them through 

 the tall pine trees, over a rotten sort of ditch into the 

 open.
