MR. EDWARD THOMAS WILLIAM DUNN 353 



went away by the Sands Farm, then turned 

 back over Rosey Brook and on by Baulking, 

 leaving Uffington Station on the left, crossed 

 the brook again and on to Fernham Copse, 

 where a fresh fox jumped up amongst the 

 hounds, and was killed. Press soon got the 

 hounds again on to the line of the hunted fox 

 and they ran him over the Faringdon line on 

 through Ashey Copse, over Cole's Pits, by 

 Little Coxwell Furze Hills towards Badbury 

 Hill to Watchfield, where they came to check ; 

 after making a cast he was given up. Met 

 with another fox in a tree near Kinofston 

 Spinnies and ran him towards Challow Station, 

 back through Sparholt into Kingston Lisle 

 Park, where he was lost. A capital good day's 

 sport over a good country. 



In the long series of twenty-six Masters, 

 whose doings we have recorded, none was 

 more popular with all classes in the field than 

 Mr. E. Dunn, and when after a reign of three 

 most successful years, he resigned, it was to 

 the sincere and loudly expressed regret of the 

 whole Hunt and country. His services to the 

 Hunt did not, however, stop with his master- 

 ship. Difficulties with regard to barbed wire, 

 and other matters, have been very greatly 

 attenuated by the unfailing tact, courtesy, and 

 personal popularity of Mr. Dunn.
