AUGUSTUS F. ROSS 123 



Oxton, Mamhead and Ashcombe. and apparently 

 was earthed in Tower Plantation. 



April 8th. Lindridge. A ^Hd day,, but a rare 

 scent and a capital run. A Lindridge fox broke 

 towards Whitelands and then ran by Kingswood 

 Quarry, Torr Hill Brake, Stoney Copse, Sands, 

 Gappagh, Ugbrooke Park towards Ideford, where a 

 slight check occurred. From there through Duns- 

 combe Plantation, Perrott's Farm, on to Haldon and 

 back as if for Ideford Brakes, but before reachincj 

 them the pack pulled hmi down in the open after a 

 very fast run of about fifty minutes. 



From the above short notes it would appear that 

 this last season of Ross's first mastersliip was a ven.' 

 good one and far from bearing out the complaints of 

 bad sport which were heard the previous year. 



At the end of the season 18TT-S Ross retired, and 

 the country was partitioned between Sir Lawrence 

 Palk and Sir John Duntze on the one hand, and, 

 eventually, Mi*. Fearnley Tanner on the other.
