Saturday is tlie day for the Downs — alternately on 

 the Lambourn and the Ilsley side. In the former 

 direction is Baydon, whence they often move off to 

 Ashdown Park — which, again, is itself a meet, with 

 two nice wood coverts. From Seven Barrows they 

 get to Mr. Hippisley^s small but wonderfully preserved 

 coverts close to Lambourn Yillage, and thence to 

 Letcombe Bowers. On the Downs, on the way to the 

 latter, are several gorses, such as Eastbury Gorse, &c. ; 

 from which hounds can always start on good terms. 

 Woolley Park, or Tinker^ s Corner, are for the small 

 coverts at Woolley (where Mr. Wroughton has always 

 many foxes). At Lockhinge Bottom is another 

 staunch fox-preserver — Sir R. Lloyd Lindsay. 

 Farnboro' is the fixture for Ilsley Down and the good 

 gorse coverts thereabouts. From Peasemore (just 

 below the down) they draw the very useful woods of 

 Breedon Park (Mr. King^s) ; and go on, perhaps, to the 

 small but favourite coverts at Langley — Ooreburgh 

 and Prior's Court. From Hermitage (the most 

 southerly of the Saturday meets) they are likely to 

 work on to Catmore Borders.
