SOME NOTABLE RUNS 



247 



after a magnificent run of an hour and thirty minutes. 

 During this run twelve miles of country were covered, 

 seven of them nearly straight. A second find this 

 day furnished a run of one hour thirty-five minutes, 

 with a kill at the finish, this hare having swum the 

 Stour. On March i with the same pack their hare 

 swam the river five times and was killed after a chase 

 of an hour and twenty minutes. Another hare on 

 the same day was killed after thirty-five minutes' hard 

 gallop, while yet another yielded a run of more than 

 two hours. 



The Blackmoor Vale Harriers seem to have shown 

 quite extraordinary sport in those days. I find accounts 

 of the following runs between January 24 and March 

 I, 1832.
