at Bramham Park on April 15th, but they had only a 

 moderate day's sport. They found in Blackfen, and after 

 an hour's running in the woods they killed. They found 

 attain in Westwoods, and ran about them and the neigh- 

 bouring- woods all day with a moderate scent. 



During the season they hunted ninety-nine days, killed 

 sixty-six brace of foxes, ran to ground twenty-nine and a half 

 brace, and were stopped twenty-seven days. 



1887-88. — The next season was remarkable for an almost
