74 HISTORY OF THE YORK AND AINSTY HUNT. 



On March T4th they had a good run of an hour from 

 Sellcarrs by Goldsborough Moor, Flaxby plantation, Ribston 

 plantation, Walshford, Lund House, Hunsingore, Cattal and 

 Thornville, killing at Kirk Hammerton Park. A good 

 hunting-day in much the same locality is the last day in 

 this season which calls for notice : — 



' Tuesday, March 28th. Ribston Hall. Found in Goldsborough 

 'Wood, ran by Ribston plantation to Walshford and lost 

 ' him. Found in Flaxby covert, ran to Goldsborough 

 'Wood, moor, mill, over the fields, over Hay Parks, 

 ' Scriven, Scotton Moor, Brearton, Findal Wood, and lost 

 ' near Nidd Hall. Very good hunting.' 



Little of any moment seems to have taken place under 

 the eye of the diarist in the early part of the next season (1843- 

 44), and it is not until quite the end of October that there is 

 anything which calls for notice. On the 31st of that month 

 they had a fair day's sport from Little Askham. They began 

 by chopping a fox in the whin, and then they ran another 

 nicely by Angram, Normans, Askham Bryan and the Bogs, 

 losing him eventually at Mr. Swann's. A month later 

 (November 28th) they had a good day from Red House, 

 but failed to get blood. The last run over the park, by 

 Scagglethorpe, Poppleton, Grange Wood, Knapton, Askham 

 Whin, Askham Bryan and Copmanthorpe to the railway at 

 Colton, and back by Bilbrough to Little Askham, where they 

 lost their fox, was a good hunt. 



'Tuesday, January i6th. Askham Bogs. Found in the whin, 

 ' ran by Angram and Bilbrough, round the hill and back 

 ' to the whin, and then away to RufForth Moor, by 

 ' Rufforth plantations, leaving Hessay on the left, and 

 ' lost him at Cock Hill. Very hard day.' 



'Tuesday, January 23rd. Red House. Found in Red House 

 ' Wood, ran to Cock Hill and lost him. Tried the wood 

 ' again and Grange Wood. Found in Swann's Whin, 

 ' ran to Angram and killed him. Found again in .Swann's
