T,S2 HISTORY OF THE BR AM HAM MOOR HUNT. 



nothing. A third fox they killed directly in Ingle Bank; 

 and then they found on the river bank near to Wray Wood, 

 and after dodging about for some little time, they killed him 

 in Jackdaw Crag. They chopped a third fo.x in Wetherby 

 Grange Wood, whence they got away on good terms with 

 another, and ran hard past Clifford and Bramham, and past 

 Hallowell Lees to Hazlewood, not far from which hounds 

 had to be stopped, as they were pointing for Bullen Wood, 

 at which place a shooting party was due next day. It was 

 rather a disappointing finish to what would otherwise have 

 been a good, and perhaps a great run, for hounds ran fast. 



' November 26th. Spacey Houses. Found in Almscliff Whin ; 

 ' ran fast to Harewood Bridge, crossed the river up to

 ' above Pannal, turned down through Spacey House Whin, 

 'Rudding, Plompton, Birkham Wood, and to ground on 

 ' the banks of the Nidd, opposite Goldsbrough Mill. Two 

 'hours; pretty hunting.' 



The weather continued very open, and though there was 

 one morning in early December when the roads were hard, 

 the frost did not prevent hunting, and went away entirely 

 the next day. Good sport continued, and it is difficult to 

 make a selection from the many good days of which I have 

 an account. A few, however, must be taken, and so good 

 was the average sport that they may almost be taken 

 haphazard, for from November to the end of February good 

 runs were the rule. After that dry weather set in, and there 

 was not much to record.
