November 26th. — 



Mr. Guest had a bj-e-day at Folke Village to 

 draw Mr. Drax's coverts there, by his request. 

 A very suiall field were preseut, consisting mainl}^ 

 of the Master and Lady Theodora, General Place, 

 and Mr. Cla3'ton. Broke Wood contained more 

 than one fox, and from Butterwick one went 

 awa}' for Withy Tree Copse and Ferney Down. 

 And here followed some beautiful, but ver^^ slow, 

 hunting ; hounds working steadil}- on a cold line, 

 by Buckshaw, past Holwell House to the planta- 

 tions, but there he ran them out of scent as day 

 was declining. 



November 27th. — 



We all met again at Horsington. The lad}- 

 pack, in blooming condition, were soon trotted 

 off, followed by a good field, to the Templecombe 

 Woods, and found at once. The fox broke on 

 the north side of the wood, but after running a 

 few fields went to ground under a gateway. A 

 terrier was at hand, and the fox moved on into 

 Mr. Dodington's Park, back to his native wood, 

 then over the South Western Railway, leaving 

 West Wood on his left, to Red House Farm.
