I20 HISTORY OF THE BRAMHAM MOOR HUNT. 



' covert, away nearly to Stockeld, back to the whin, and 

 ' killed. One hour and twenty minutes : a good day's sport.' 



Every month of this season had its good days, and 

 perhaps March was the worst scenting month in it, and 

 sport was worse in that month than in any other. Still, 

 there was a day in March which is worth recording, even 

 at this distance of time. Here are a few runs which may 

 be given as a specimen of the sport in this exceptional 

 season. There are many more like them. 



'November 2nd. Alwoodley Crag. Found in Creskeld Wood, 

 'away towards Otley, to ground under the railroad. As 

 ' we came back to draw Arthington, met a travelling fox, 

 ' ran three fields, and killed. Found in the pleasure-ground 

 ' at Harewood, away by the castle very fast to Cardwick, 

 ' turned to the right, straight past Bardsey to Scarcroft 

 'Whin. Forty minutes. Hunted slowly through the 

 ' plantations and Black Moor, away pointing for Shadwell, 

 ' turned to the right, past Wigton Moor into Harewood, 

 ' near Loftus Gate, chasing him in covert, and killed before 

 ' he reached the Grey Stone Whin. One hour, thirty-five 

 ' minutes : a real good run. Seven couples of young bitches 

 'out: all up. Killed at 4-40.' 



'November 1 6th. Becca Mill. Found in Parlington Old Wood, 

 ' ran rings, then away to Scholes, and lost. Found in 

 ' Parlington Hollins, ran to Hawk's Nest, back through 

 'the Hollins, along the bank to Becca Mill, turned to the 

 ' right, left Potterton on the right, Saw Woods on the right, 

 ' running well over Whin Moor. Left Shadwell on the 

 'right, and bending to the left, ran into an overflow drain 

 ' running from a shallow well, the hounds close at him. 

 'Two couples went into the drain. They all came back 

 'but Fallacy, and we did not succeed in getting her out 

 ' till four o'clock the following (Sunday) afternoon. This 

 ' was a good run : an hour and lbrt\-five minutes.' 



On the 23rd, they met at Harewood Park, and there 

 Mr. Fox was presented with a handsome Testimonial.
