266 THE OLD BERKS HUNT 



"Wick Scrubs." He ran through Kingstone 

 and was lost. Another fox was found on Mr. 

 W. Aldworth's farm at Hanney and killed after 

 a sharp little run. A third fox was found at 

 Pusey and killed at Buckland, where also a 

 fourth fox was found directly, but as the day 

 was getting late, hounds were whipped off. 

 There were out the Earl of Craven and Mr. 

 T. Duffield (the Masters), Messrs. A. Sartoris, 

 E. Martin-Atkins, E. K. Lenthall, J. Phillips, 

 B. H. Morland, J. Thompson, J. B. Lowndes, 

 G. F. Crowdy, J. T. Morland, E. Morland, 

 and a host of the staunch yeoman element. 



The opening meet of 1874 was again at 

 " Roadside Farm." After breakfast, " Bed- 

 lam " was drawn blank. A fox was found at 

 Pusey, but soon lost. Another was found at 

 Hatford and run to ground. A third fox 

 started from Hinton, and after a half-hour's 

 ringing run, returned and was killed in the 

 garden at Hinton. " Harrowdown Hill" was 

 then drawn and provided a fourth fox, who 

 went away through " Longcopse," by New- 

 bridge to Appleton Common, where he was 

 killed after a capital run of forty-five minutes.
