 No one was ever near enough in any part of 

 the run to help hounds," 



Mr. Wright tells the following interesting 

 stories of curious accidents to hounds : — 



" I once had a bitch, ' Gracious,' who was 

 knocked over by a train near Skelmanthorpe, 

 and rolled down the embankment. A man 

 named Conyers, who was nearly always out, 

 had given up the idea of getting up to hounds, 

 when this occurred and took charge of the 

 bitch to bury her. He was asked in to tea by 

 a farmer and when he went out to the bitch 

 after tea found she was still warm ; although 

 fifteen miles from his home he waited with her 

 for three hours and left her sensible and in a 

 comfortable place. The next morning he tele- 

 graphed to me and I fetched her home. For 

 a year she was stone deaf and then recovered 

 completely and was the mother of 'Dealer,' 

 represented in the Badsworth Presentation 

 Picture.
