Brought forward. . . . 

 Friday, March 9th. 1827. 



Mkt at Stock House, where we were ag-ain fortunate 

 in finding' a brace and half of Foxes ; the Hounds were 

 settled to a Vixen, which they ran for half an hour, close 

 at her brush : in the mean time a brace of dog- Foxes 

 slipped away, and when by dint of great exertion we had 

 succeeded so far as to stop them, we had lost more 

 then twenty minutes upon the Fox that had last broken 

 Cover. The Hounds, however, were laid on and hunted 

 him very beautifully by the Plantation at Rodmoor to 

 Hoi well Borough and across the river for Bishop's 

 Caundle, carrying him well over eight roads and lakes, 

 and getting up to him in the Caundle Woods. He then 

 turned his head towards Phimley Wood, but was headed 

 back for Caundle Wood again, by Ashcombe to Marsh 

 Common and thence to Haydon, leaving Sherborne Park 

 to the left and up to the Earths at Hanover Wood ; going 

 through that Cover to Mllhorne Moor, lohere the 

 Hounds began to run for him, hurrying him along the 

 Vale to Purse Caundle, and over the enclosures to the 

 top of Plumley Wood, lohei'e they ran into Mm and 

 killed after a good hunting run of three hours and half. 



Tuesday, March 13th. 



Met at Redlynch Park Gate, and drew Cogley, 

 blank, but found at Pink AVood, and after a pressing 

 run of fifty minutes, killed him in the open road before 

 he could reach the Park Covers 



Friday, March 16th. 



Met at Yarlington, where we found a brace of Foxes ; 

 running into our first Fox in racing style in thirty-five 

 minutes. The day being but little advanced, and not 

 knowing where to find a second Fox without marring 

 another day's sport, (so small and inconvenient is our 

 little tract of Country !) Ave trotted the Hounds on to 



Carried forward ....
