192 HISTORY OF THE YORK AND AINSTY HUNT. 



Bogs beat them after a short ring. On October 15th 

 Mr. Lycett Green had a very good day, particulars of which 

 must be given, as it is seldom such a good run is seen early 

 in the season : — 



' Wigginton Bar. Holding scent, not good over plough. Haxby 

 ' Whin and Wood blank. Found at Haxby Carr, but did 

 ' not get away with this fox, wishing to find cubs. Found 

 ' at Suet Carr. Ran down to Strensall and .Sheriff Hutton 

 ■ road ; checked at the brickj'ards ; got on the line, and 

 ' taking a turn over the Sheriff Hutton road, recrossed it, 

 ' and leaving the village just on the right, turned to the 

 'left; came to a check, but hit it off again and ran up to 

 ' Farlington and Sheriff Hutton road, over it, and leaving 

 ' Farlington high covert on our left, hunted him beautifully 

 ' over a fine country pointing for Stearsby Hagg ; came to 

 ' a slight check, but getting a view at a distance got on 

 ' better terms with him. Unfortunately, owing to some 

 ' rough places at the bottom of the hill, hounds got ahead 

 ' of us, and coming to a check, lost a bit of time. Hunted 

 ' it on again up to Brow Wood, the fox entering the covert 

 ' fifty yards before the hounds. The Master cast well 

 ' forward for his fox, and held them well round to the left 

 ' by Stearsby Hagg, but failed to hit on him again. The 

 ' impression of Mr. H. Preston was that he went to ground 

 ' in Brow Wood, two earths being open. Time, about fifty 

 ' minutes ; about eight miles as hounds ran.' 



This was a really good run, and it is to be regretted that 

 hounds did not account for their fox. 



On the last day of the cubbing season Mr. Lycett Green 

 met with a nasty accident, his horse rolling over his foot and 

 doing considerable damage. He was not long before he was 

 in the saddle again, but he did not get a top boot on again 

 the whole of the season, and for most of it he rode with only 

 one stirrup. The season, which was a good one, opened on 

 November 5th at Skelton, and all through November there 

 was a fair average of sport. In December hounds also did 

 well, and in that month some of the best runs took place : —
