We met this day at ten o'clock, at Holton Street ; — 

 finding- a brace of Cubs in the Covers at Yarlington, 

 and in forty minutes very quick work, the Hounds drove

Met at Stourton Inn, at ten o'clock; — finding* an old 

 Fox in Norwood, near Zeals, and running him with a

 forcing him into the street and gardens of the town 

 of Mere ^ close at his brush ; in the confusion occasioned 

 by this sudden turn, &c., a long check ensued, the 

 Hounds, however, hunted him on, and got up to him 

 at Zeal's House, and worked him across the enclosures 

 as far as Silton, where they lost him among"st the roads

A good Field, graced by several carriages full of 

 ladies, &c., met us at Thornhill House, where we found, 

 through the liberal and generous patronage of William 

 Boucher, Esquire, a fine litter of Foxes immediately, 

 and in twenty minutes got away with a young dog Fox 

 and ran into him in view. The Hounds were capped 

 away immediately to an halloo across the Lydlinch River,

 Stock Wood ; he was, however, unluckily headed from 

 that point, the Hounds working him back to Thornhill 

 Coppice, and through it along the enclosures to Har- 

 grove, pointing for Bagber Coppice, where he was
