The morning was bright, with a touch of north- 

 east in the wind after a catch of frost, not promising 

 for a scent ; but about noon the sky became dull 

 and overcast, enabling the lady-pack to show a 

 remarkable day's sport with the improved conditions. 

 When the order was given, the long cavalcade 

 nearly a mile in length, wound its way across the 

 landscape to Harby Hills, along whose undulating 

 slope spreads an extent of thorn and gorse, fringing 

 the wooded heights which surround Belvoir Castle. 

 No fox being in evidence on the hills. Piper Hole 

 Gorse was shaken out, and started the day with an 

 uninteresting period of sport owing to the slackness 

 of scent ; but it served its purpose by decreasing the 

 size of the field, many of whom turned homewards 

 after the first fox had been killed.
