134 FOX-HUNTING FROM SHIRE TO SHIRE 



cub-hunting, hounds were out on forty-eight days, 

 stopped on two by frost, and had one day blank. 

 They killed 19J brace of foxes — which was above 

 the average — marked iii brace to ground, and 

 finding the supply fair. Scent was useful during 

 most of the season after November, and sport was 

 up to the average, the weather being very open. 

 On February 4, hounds ran from the Common, 

 Hatfield, to Northaw Wood, by Panshanger Park 

 and Canfield, marking their fox to ground ; the 

 time was one hour and forty minutes, the point 

 seven miles.
