Also hunt part of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Fox- 

 hounds have been established at Raby Castle for nearly a 

 century and a half. The late Duke hunted them himself for 

 forty seasons, and entered into all the detail and labour of 

 the kennel management as well. " When the late Duke of 

 Cleveland (then Earl of Darlington) hunted his own hounds 

 sia^ days a week/' Nimrod tells us that " his lordship had a 

 change of clothes kept well aired at all the principal inns 

 within his hunt, to the nearest of which he always repaired 

 when the sport was over ; and putting himself into a chaise 

 and four, ready dressed for the evening, a small field^piece 

 at the lodge of his park announced his approach to the castle; 

 and by the time he arrived, dinner, if ready, was upon the 

 table.^^
