shelter beneath the hearth rug- in a front

In 1872, one of the best runs of the season 

 took place on the 22nd of January. The 

 meet was at Stanford Place, the residence of 

 G. B. Eyston, Esq. A goodly muster partook 

 of the handsome breakfast provided. Lord 

 Craven was out for the first time since he 

 had met with a nasty fall at High worth. 

 A fox was found in Cox well Furze Hills. 

 He went away to Faringdon, but was then 

 headed back to the Furze Hills ; being closely 

 followed, however, he ran quickly through 

 the covert and went away to Fernham Copse ; 

 on over the railway to Kingstone Spinneys ; 

 thence to Feather-bed Lane, and, passing 

 Mr. Fortescue's, he crossed over the Baulking 

 Road. Here was a slight check. Tread- 

 well soon got his hounds on again, and away 

 they went to Rosey, and then on through 

 Rogues Pits to Buckland Warren. Doubling 

 back from there Reynard took shelter in 

 Hatford quarry, where he was left for another 

 day. 



The Hunt Ball took place in the Faringdon
