CLOSE OF SEASON 1901-1902. 27o 



Red Hill Colliery, by Keele Station, Hun's Wood, and on to Keele Racecourse, 

 Bentilee Wood, and beat us. Found in Iloldershaw Wood, but he had gone too 

 long, so did nothing much with him. Found again in Whitmore Wood. Had a 

 nice gallop through Hayes Sprink to Dun's Wood, and beat us. Hounds went fast 

 up to Keele Station, but over an unrideable bit of countiy, this being our last 

 day of the season. We have had less hunting this year, but better sport. I have 

 not missed one day's hunting from beginning to tinish." 



Record for the season : sixty-five foxes killed, fifty -five 

 run to ground ; ninety days' hunting altogether. Stopped 

 by frost for thirty days. 



Subscriptions amounted to about £2100, out of which 

 the Poultry and Covert Fund absorbed £545, and a sum 

 of about £440 was spent in removing wire and laying- 

 fences, and in cutting and fencing gorse coverts.
