 interest and excitement. In that charming cover 

 of Annis Hills, a favourite one of the late Mr. 

 Digby's, we found our next fox, and rattled him 

 round and round the wood, where, as hounds 

 could not force him out, we reluctantly left 

 him. We went on to the park at Hazelgrove, 

 and, having drawni Sturt Hill and Yarcombe 

 without success, we lighted on him at length 

 near the lodge at Hazelgrove ; and a good one 

 he proved, for he ran straight away b}^ West 

 Bampfylde, leaving Queen Camel on the right, 

 and Marston New Cover to the left, over that 

 fine galloping country ; here he bent somewhat 

 to the left towards the railway, but without 

 crossing it, heading for Corton Gorse, when 

 he turned to the right, and before long hounds 

 threw up; and after a really pretty ride of forty 

 minutes we were forced to acknowledge, near 

 Rimpton Gulley, that the little Red Rover had 

 the best of us.
