but unfortunately got on the drag scent ; ran straight to Lord's Bridge 

 Station, then lost many of the beagles ; some came home by them-

 50 minutes and killed.

Found a hare, ran fast for some tiuie ; hare laid up three times ; she 

 was put up again, and a greyhound coursed and killed her after 

 1 hour and 10 minutes; a lot of roughs out, which quite spoiled 

 our sport. 



March 10, met the beagles at Fulbourne Station. Mr. Payne, the 

 farmer, found us a hare close to the line ; she ran down to the large 

 dyke, crossed it, and then back to the station across the bridge, over 

 the dyke, and then up into the open country ; then down the hill to 

 Mr. Townley's,^ where fresh hares getting up. Thompson, who was
