234 THE OLD BERKS HUNT 



water jumper and followed Tom Duffield down 

 to the brook ; his horse hesitated and got over 

 with a scramble and I got in and got my 

 horse out just as Treadwell hit off the line, 

 and so lost none of the run) ; after the check 

 we ran slower, by Challow Station, through 

 Sparsholt Copse, and up into Kingston Lisle. 

 Here the fox made a turn, and Tom Duffield 

 viewed him into a stone pit just outside the 

 park. There Tom stood over him roaring 

 like a bull for the hounds. John Treadwell 

 always thought it was the same fox that he 

 had run on the Monday before, finding him 

 at Woodhill and losing him between Wantage 

 and Milton Hill." 



That capital sportsman and Veterinary, the 

 late Mr. George Drew, of Abingdon, who 

 had a mellow tenor voice, used to sing a song 

 written by himself, on the Blowing Stone run. 

 We pfive the lines in full as a tribute to his 

 memory. 



The Old Berkshire. 



Come, think on the sport which you all must love 



best, 

 I've a theme that will put your high notes to the test ; 

 A run to describe, which most certainly will 

 Make you cheer for the Master of snug Milton Hill. 

 Chorus. 



Then, hurrah, boys, hurrah ! 



Hurrah, boys, hurrah ! 



Three cheers for Old Berkshire, 



Hurrah, boys, hurrah !
