26 MEMOIR OF THE KILKENNY HUNT. 



1 6th he took out the young hounds for the first 

 time, and not finding at Glencoum, owing to the 

 earths being left open by mistake, he turned out a 

 fox before the pack, and had " a nice and fast run 

 from Kilfanc to near Dungarvan, and killed in 

 capital style, without the least riot." During the 

 remainder of the month he was in other woodlands 

 with varying success, and on the i6th October,

 scenting day; but he killed a brace of foxes, making 

 seven and a-half brace up to date. On the 27th he 

 was at Desart and Pottlerath. From the former
