THE RULE OF Mr. GEORGE LANE FOX. 6 1 



' Went away very fast, through Lady Wood, Lunn Wood, 

 'Dog- Kennel Whin, Norwood Bottoms, and Whittle Carr 

 'to Becca. The}' had a slight check, hit him off to Heyton 

 'Wood, just skirting it and Bullen Wood, through Renshaw, 

 'skirting Towton Spring and Patefield, and crossed the 

 ' railroad, leaving Church Fenton just at the right-hand. 

 ' Left Rither Woods on the right, ran to the river near 

 ' Cawood, turned up the bank, crossed to Nun Appleton, 

 ' and lost him in the dark at the back of the house. Two 

 'hours and fifteen minutes; fine run.' 



March was cold and dry, and productive of little sport, 

 and the season came to a close on April loth, when hounds 

 met at Pool ; the only note of the last day which the diary 

 contains. 



Shortly after Mr. George Lane Fox took hold of the 

 Bramham Moor hounds, it became advisable to turn them 

 into a subscription pack. Subscriptions Htjwed in liberally, 

 and the subscription list is a wonderful one, when it is taken 

 into consideration that the country was then not .so thickly 

 populated ; and with fewer people huntintr, it certainly com- 

 pares favourably with the subscription lists of many Hunts 

 in the present day. I give a list of the subscriptions for 

 the season 1852-3, that my readers may form their own 

 opinions on the matter.
