' Broadfield almost to Little Ouseburn. Turned short 

 ' back by Whixley Hall down to Gilstrop, crossed the 

 ' great North road to Ribston plantations, Langdon, over 

 • (xoldsborough Moor and the Common Field, past 

 ' Goldsborough Hall, over the park, through the wood, 

 ' and Ribston Spring and the pleasure grounds, and

 ' ran through the drain and the whole pack after him.

 ' Langshaw nearly down to Walshford Bridge, over 

 ' Ribston Park, b}' the House, through the Spring, across 

 ' the low end of Goldsborough Wood, through the Moor, 

 ' Green Dick, through Ribston plantations, where we 

 ' viewed him. Then through Langshaw, and ran into 

 ' him in the great drain between Goldsborough Moor 

 ' and Flaxby plantation. Three hours eight minutes. 

 ' Very hard day.' 



Well might Mr. York call this a very hard clay, and 

 though there was no great point made, it was a good 

 sporting run in a country which does not find much favour 

 with the generality of hunting men. Another very hard 

 day was soon to follow : — 



'Thursday, November 14th. Copgrove. Found in Burton 

 'Wood, ran towards Bishop Monkton and killed him. 

 ' Tried the plantation beyond Burton AVood. Found in 

 ' the Round Carrs, ran to Burton Leonard, down to 

 ' Burton Wood, over the bottoms towards RawclifF, 

 ' turned to the right by Staveley town end, past Walking- 

 ' ham Warren, over Farnham Bottoms and Scotton Moor. 

 ' Crossed the water into Bilton Banks, ran the whole 

 ' length of the covert to Bilton Hall, almost to Knares- 

 ' borough town end, turned to the right to Bilton village 

 ' and up to Harrogate, where we hunted up to him at 

 ' the back of the Granby, and went away in view towards 

 'Bilton village, and killed him close to Harrogate 

 ' turnpike bar. Two hours fourteen minutes.'
