226 THE TEINITY FOOT BEAGLES 



Cis and Self took hounds over to Long Framlington, where we 

 were to stop the night and hunt next day. 



Lunched on the way with Eev. Shield at Whittingham, and 



inspected his basset hounds. On to Long Framlington, where we 

 arrived about 6 p.m. Dr., Mrs., two Miss, Jim Fenwick, and Hodgson, 

 Cis, and Self at dinner. 



Wliisky and smoke and so to bed. 



Tuesday, Sept. 24.^-Up at 5.30 feeling rather cigar and whiskyfied. 

 Met at Framlington Gate at 7 a.m. Drew the hills and riverside 

 moor for a tod. Drew blank for 3 hours. Then I took hounds over to 

 the other hill, where we met L. Allgood, M.H., who told us where to 

 find a hare. We found an old jack hare in a wood. After a rare 

 gallop of 25 minutes all over old beut grass fields, with banks and flying 

 jumps mixed, hounds ran into her. She must have been at least 

 10 years old. I never saw such a wiry-looking hare, even my old 

 pig-sticker could hardly perform the " funereal obsequies." 



Screaming scent breast high. Hounds flew, Gambler leading 

 them, with Gaudy and Garnish close beliind. Only one check in the 

 wood the second time round, when I got a. toss in a bhnd drain. 



Took hounds home to Keaveley via Bridge of Aln with Cis and 

 J. Carr. We parted at Powburn with many mutual congratulations. 

 Never were such hounds, such horses, such men. 



N.B. — The Bridge of Aln whisky is good, also that at Powburn.
