1 66 HISTORY OF THE BRAMHAM MOOR HUNT. 



'Grange Wood, turned past Angram to Bilbrough, and 

 ' stopped hounds at 4-30. Hard day.' 



Scent was oood till the last fox turned down wind at 

 Grange Wood, and then, Smith says, ' though very tired, he 

 'walked away from us.'

 enough to keep hounds at home, and they continued to show

'November 12th. Deighton Bar. Found in Ingmanthorpe

 'first in Walton, two hours; from Walton to Bilbrough 

 'very fast, — about thirty -five minutes. Bad luck not 

 ' catching him.' 



Before getting to Hutton Hall the hounds ran near to 

 Collier Hagg, and up to the Angram road, and here fox and 

 hounds were all seen in a field together. What became of
