MR. CHARLES PHILIP DUFFIELD 225 



Open after a capital run of one hour thirty-five 

 minutes. 



The following Friday the meet was at 

 Buscot Park. The Bushes, Buscot Wood, 

 and Oak Wood were drawn blank. The 

 hounds were then put in at Badbury Hill, 

 and a brace of foxes were soon on foot, one 

 startmg for Buscot, and the other was followed 

 by the hounds to Brimstone Farm, on to 

 Coleshill, doubling back to Great Coxwell, 

 then through the Furze Hills, and from 

 thence to Cole's Pits and on to Rosey. From 

 Rosey he went over the Sand Hills to 

 Uffington Gorse, and then made a ring 

 round Fernham back to Shellingford Copse. 

 Thence Reynard started for Hatford, but 

 turned back to Wicklesham, where he was 

 killed after a first-rate run of one hour forty 

 minutes, the latter part being very fast and 

 over a stiff country. 



A handsome testimonial was subscribed for, 

 and was presented to Mr. Duffield on his 

 retirement at a dinner held at the Crown Inn, 

 Faringdon, on Thursday, April the 9th, 1863, 

 the Rt. Hon E. P. Bouverie being in the 

 chair. The testimonial took the form of a 

 silver tankard and two cups, with a large 

 picture of the retiring Master for Mrs. Duttield.
