Returning south, there came another good day at 

 Balls Park Wood, where, in company with. Prince 

 Edward of Saxe- Weimar, George Prescott, General 

 Fryer, Brydges Willyams, Burdett Coutts, and Sydney 

 Hankey, we totalled up 964 head, of which 726 were 

 pheasants. 



On the 16th of November I came on to new 

 ground in the shape of three days at Cornbury Park, 

 Charlbury, Oxford, then rented by Mr. M. L. Wynne. 

 Our party was completed by the Hon. Eric North, 

 George Norris, Aubrey Cartwright, Christopher Tower, 

 Fane Gladwin, Hermon Hodge, Captain Waller, and 

 the unfortunate Lord Beaumont, who, later on, was 

 the victim of a fatal gun accident. We shot each 

 day in the ancient Forest of Wychwood, extending 

 to some 1700 acres, in which tradition says Robin 

 Hood and his merry men often poached. The bag 

 for the three days was 2079 head, about half 

 pheasants and half rabbits.
