 of an hour and fort}^ minutes. Though a very 

 cold da}' it was a thoroughl}^ pleasant one,

 remembered. 



December 27th. — 



The morning broke with still the sauie 

 cold east wind we have had for some time, 

 and, having met at Pulham, we went at once 

 to Shortwood, found, and ran a sort of ring 

 in the Hazelbur}^ direction through Mappowder, 

 and then slowly to the hills, stopping hounds 

 at Plush. Back to Shortwood, found, and ran 

 somewhat in the same direction as the morning 

 run, losing at Mappowder, We then drew 

 Huniber Wood, and had a very fast twenty 

 minutes by Shortwood, Bewley, and Brock- 

 hampton Covers, to Canning's Court, by Pulham 

 Rector}^ to Hartmoor Farm, and, after casting 

 in vain towards Pulham Gorses, we gave it 

 up, and the Master sent us home, well contented 

 with our "Christmas number" of runs.
