Queen Camel, crossing" the river to Ilazelgrove, where 

 they g"ot up to him, and g'oing' away across the fine 

 enclosures at this place for North Barrow, pointing" lor 

 Babcary, ran into this old and gallant Fox m open view, 

 after a very superior run of three hours and a quarter, 

 having" covered at least twenty miles of ground 



Friday, January 7th, 1831. 



Met this day at Horwood Well ; — walking- the Hounds 

 on to Mr. Phelips's Plantation at Cucklingtou, where 

 we found immediately, going" away at a moderate pace 

 (the frost being- still severe and the ground hard on the 

 hills, &e.,) to Stoke Trister, and across Leigh Common 

 to Charlton Musg-rove, where we ran our Fox to a drain; 

 bolting and running him to Bayford and over Stoke 

 Conygar to Cucklington, where we saw our Fox at the 

 end of one hour and ten minutes, dead beat, enter a 

 hedge close before us ; at this moment the Hounds were 

 hallooed on to a fresh Fox, going away at a tremendous 

 pace (the frost having nearly disappeared) for Stoke 

 Trister, and over Leigh Common, where the Fox was 

 viewed close before the Hounds — to Charlton Musgrove 

 and on to Stavordale Wood, and through it to King's 

 Wood under Alfred's Tower, and over the Commons to 

 Yarnfield and Kilming-ton, pointing for Bradley, (where 

 the Fox was headed by a pai-ty of shooters,) turning his 

 head for Grove Wood, and through it to Hicks's Park 

 and on to West End AVood, where the Hounds unluckily 

 changed, and were stopped, after a brilliant run of one 

 hour and thirty-five minutes. . 



Tuesday, January 11th. 



The Blackmoor Vale Hounds met this day at Pos- 



tlebury Wood, where they found immediately ; going 



away close to the brush of the dog Fox to Marston, the 



Carried forward.
