proceed northward. Cawthorne is for Mr. Mitcliel- 

 son^s covert (composed chiefly of larch and heather), 

 with a gorse belonging to Mr. Watson^ a very good 

 old sportsman. Pickering being advertised, there is 

 a forty-acre '^ willow garth " at Keld's Head ; or they 

 may proceed at once to draw the Haugh Wood 

 (belonging to the Duchy of Lancaster), and Pickering 

 Parks, where is a long belt of covert. Allerston is 

 for Givendale or Wilton Winn (Lord Hotham^s). 



A Saturday fixture near Scarborough is S earner, 

 usually for The Meets (small fir plantation in the 

 vicinity of Cay ton), after which hounds may very 

 likely be brought back to Edgehill and Bainclifife. 

 Ayton is for Hutton Buscel Plantations, whence they 

 may get to the woods of Yedmandale or Bedale. Sir 

 Digby Cayley has coverts at Brompton and Allerston ; 

 and Ebberston, it should be noted, was the chief 

 residence of Squire Osbaldeston. It was from here 

 he shot his famous match with Mr. Ross. Ruston 

 Bridge would probably be the meet for Brompton 

 Winn. When hounds go to Hackness they have 

 chains of rough bank covert laid out before them for 

 miles. Jingleby Thorns is for the central moors and 

 Lloyd^s coverts; and Harwood Dale Mill is also for 

 similar broken ground.
