VARSITY DAYS REVIVED 173 



through Calpher Wood on to Burton Sticks without 

 hesitating a minute, racing on to cross the Stowe 

 road, right-handed to Spaldwick village, the time 

 being twenty-five minutes. Recovering the line, they 

 ran right into the Fitzwilliam country by Barham 

 to Wright's Gorse, past Hamerton to Solom Wood, 

 and were stopped at dusk. Only a dozen got to 

 the end, the extreme points being eight miles or 

 sixteen as hounds ran. 



On December i8th, after meeting at Packington 

 to spend the morning hunting round that district, 

 a good fox was started about 2.30 in the after- 

 noon from Knap well Grove. There was a capital 

 scent on the ploughs as well as the grass, hounds 

 running by Boxworth village away to Childerley 

 Hall to the Belt at Madingley, where a shooting 

 party headed him. Turning left-handed through 

 Drayton village, they crossed the Huntingdon road 

 and went straight on to Packington village, where 

 they lost at dusk. The time was one hour and 

 twenty minutes, the extreme points five miles, 

 although hounds ran much farther.
