52 HISTORY OF THE YORK AND A IN STY HUNT. 



Lylands to Marton, and over the Boroughbrido-e road at 

 Ouse Head ; thence they ran by Renton and over the Ouse 

 at Low Dunsforth, and they were stopped in the dark at 

 Aldwark village. January 19th is worthy of passing mention, 

 although nothing of very great importance took place They 

 met at Holgate, found an afternoon fox in Dringhouses 

 brick-kilns, and after a ringing run, killed him near the 

 kennels, then at the white cottage opposite Knavesmire. 

 On February 2nd there was a hard day from Red House 

 Wood, the first fox running from the wood by Wilstrop and 

 Tockwith, and over the river to Old Thornville, whence he 

 took a line to Kirk Hammerton, and after re-crossing the 

 river he was lost about Cock Hill. A ringing fox from 

 Swann's Whin kept them going till dark, and they were 

 stopped between Askham Bryan and Askham Richard. The 

 last run which calls for notice this season was also from 

 Red House: — 



'Tuesday, March 21st. Red House. Found in Red House 

 ' Wood, ran to Moor Monkton, and back by the church, 

 ' leaving- Hessay on the right, past the Red Lion ahiiost 

 ' to Grange Wood, turned short back by Jolly's farm 

 ' and killed him at Acomb. Fifty-eight minutes, very fast. 

 ' Found in Askham Bogs, ran all along the Healaugh 

 ' road to Swann's Whin, Hutton Hall, Arthur Sanders, 

 ' Marston Fir Trees, turned short back again over the 

 'earths and lost him between Hutton and Angram. 

 ' Forty-five minutes, very fast. Very good day.' 



The .season of 1836-37 was remarkable for the good 

 sport which was seen in the Thursday country, the better 

 part of the runs which I have to record having taken place 

 from Providence Green. The tirst day which calls for notice 

 is October 25th, when they met at Askham Bogs. They 

 had a smart run in the morning from the Bogs, by Acomb, 

 Bishopthorpe, the Archbishop's gardens, Middlethorpc and 

 Knavesmire, and back to the Bogs, through which they ran
