THE RULE OF Mr. E. LYCETT GREEX. 217 



at Thorpe Green, where they had a very good hunting run, 

 ending with a kill. Though this was the last day so far as 

 their own country was concerned, they were to be out once 

 again before they retired into summer quarters. The Bilsdale 

 sent them an invitation to go to Kirby Knowle, and a very 

 good day's sport they had, finding a fox somewhere between 

 Weston and Boltby, and after running for two hours and 

 fifteen minutes, he beat them at Byland Old Abbey. 



This was the first season that Mr Lycett Green hunted 

 both packs. 



1893-94. — They got an early start ne.\t season. The 

 harvest had been got in good time, the rubs were well 

 grown and forward, and on Tuesday, August 29th, they 

 went to Steeton at five in the morning, and though scent 

 was bad enough, they had a good deal of e.Kcellent hound 

 work, and killed a brace of cubs. On Thursday they met at 

 Hob Green at five a.m , but though rain had fallen, there 

 was not much improvement in scent. Notwithstanding 

 this, however, they had a satisfactory morning, and again 

 they got blood. On the following day they were at Clint, 

 and the dog pack had a long, tiring day, running a brace 

 of cubs to ground, and unfortunately they had to go home 

 without blood. 



Monday, September 4th, found them at Morcby, five 

 a.m. being still the hour of meeting. They found a good 

 show of foxes, and after a good morning's work they killed 

 a leash of cubs The weather was hot and dry, but in 

 the afternoon a heavy dew began to fall, so Mr. Lycett 

 Green, bearing in mind what a disappointing day the dog 

 pack had had on the Friday, took them to Rufforth Whin. 

 Scent was much better than it had been in the morning, 

 foxes were there in plenty, and after a lot of good work 

 they killed a brace.
