The Suffolk. 195 



Col. Tyrell of Plashwood, a fine old sportsman. From 

 Felsham Green hounds go to Thorpe Wood, sixty or 

 seventy acres of Mr. Sparrow^s — a good preserver, 

 who lives in Essex. On a Saturday, too, they go to 

 Hominger Green. Lord BristoFs large property is of 

 immense service to the hunt ; for his lordship, though 

 not hunting himself, does all he can to further the 

 interests of foxhunting. At Rushbrook Hall, too, the 

 residence of Mr. Rusbrook, another good supporter, 

 is a capital covert called The Link. Close to the 

 Kennels is Hardwick Wood (Mr. Gibson Cullum), 

 where foxes and pheasants alike are always to be 

 found. Plumpton House (Mr. W. Bevan) has nice 

 coverts and foxes. At Melford Hall lives SirWilham 

 Parker, a really good friend to the chase ; and his 

 best covert is Lineage. Capt. Starkie Bence^s coverts 

 at Kentwell are also close at hand, and have seldom 

 failed to show foxes of recent years.
