was found in Humber Moor, and, after taking a turn 

 over Haldon and round to Lindridge, he took the 

 pack, by ^vay of the Decoy, Kingskerswell, Abbots- 

 kerswell and ^Miiddon, to within two miles of Totnes, 

 where they killed. The time is given as two hours 

 and ten minutes. Those honourably mentioned in a 

 newspaper report of this gallant chase, as riding the 

 run throughout, besides the master and his whip,^ 

 Tom Clark, were Messrs. Short, Luxmoore, Kitson, 

 Barnes, Friend, Jones, Walkey, Taylor, Wreford and 

 Marriott. 



Another very severe run in a rough country, with a 

 big point, is chronicled as having taken place on the 

 13th March, 184-4, '^ith a distance estimated at 

 fifteen miles between the extreme points. After 

 meeting at Sandy Gate, the pack hit the line of a 

 moved fox in Torr Hill Brakes near Lindridge, and 

 were fortunate enough to get on good terms with 

 him. The line taken was through Well Bottom, the 

 Sands, Ugbrooke Park, Chudleigh, AMiiteway and 

 Ashton, crossing the Teign there : then a big loop by 

 Canonteign, re-crossing the river at Bridford, and 

 away for Cotleigh Wood, within a few fields of which 

 the hounds ran into their fox. Time, two hours and 

 five minutes. 



The entry in the master's diary for the 14th 

 December, 1843, records that " in consequence of 

 the sudden and lamented death of George Templer " 

 the hounds did not keep their appointment at ^Mlite- 

 way on that day, a graceful tribute to so good and 

 accomplished a sportsman. 



Very graphic is the description of a run from 



^ Some eminent authorities, including the late Duke of Beaufort, have 

 taken exception to this colloquial use of the word " whip." See. however, 

 article on "' Hunting Terminology " in the Field of 9th November, 1912, 

 p. 962.
