1 64 HISTORY OF THE BRAMHAM MOOR HUNT. 



' March 6th. Tolston Lodge. Got on the line of a disturbed 

 ' fox near Smaws, hunted to Oglethorpe Whin, Clifford, 

 ' Low Mill, Ingle Bank ; viewed him and chased him to 

 ' Newton Kyme, and killed by the railway. Fifty-five 

 ' minutes. Found in Wray Wood, ran into Grange Wood, 

 ' round, and killed. Found another, and away through 

 ' Mr. Wickham's plantation nearly to Compton ; turned to 

 'the left, running hard nearly to Clifford; turned to the 

 ' right, and in the turnpike-road was chased by a cur dog 

 ' into Thompson's farm buildings. Hit him off, hunted to 

 ' Westwoods, ran hard in covert and back to Beilby Grange 

 ' Wood, through it and away nearly to Collingham, past 

 ' Compton to the low end of Westwoods, up the wood, away 

 ' to Spring Wood, Dog Kennel Whin, and past Wothersome 

 ' Dam to the gardens, and killed. Good scent and good 

 ' work. Three hours.' 



Sport continued to be good all through the month of 

 March. On the 12th they had a splitting five and thirty 

 minutes' ring from Horn Bank, killing at Flint Mill; and a 

 week later they had two hours' nice hunting, beginning with 

 a fox that was viewed as they went to draw Deighton Spring 

 for their afternoon fox. They rattled him along to Horn 

 Bank, where he was headed, and they ran him back to 

 Hatfield's plantation and Noble Wood, where there was a 

 brace of foxes on foot, and they probably changed. They 

 ran to Thorp Arch Hall again, and then back through Walton 

 Whin and Champagne Whin and up to Boggart House, 

 pulling him down behind Walton village. There was a 

 burning sun, and dust was flying, so that there is much 

 credit to all concerned in such a good day's sport. The 

 season was brought to a close on April 14th, at Almscliff, 

 where they had a very good day for the time of year. They 

 found the fox that gave them the run at Farnley, and ran 

 him well up to a drain under the road below Riffa. They 

 bolted him, and ran hard through Riffa and past Wescoe
