1885. 93 



March 14th. — 



To-day found a large field, on sport intent, 

 at the Green Man, Pulliam. Finding in Pulhani 

 Gorses, and galloping thence to Ponting's 

 Gorse, greatly excited our hopes, which, how- 

 ever, were soon calmed down by a very long 

 spell of standing still in Pulhani and Holwell 

 Gorses, where were plenty of foxes, but the 

 scent was insufficient to press them, and, though 

 hounds worked admirably, there we had to leave 

 them. We did better in Holwell Plantation, 

 and, running out towards Butterwick, turned 

 right short of it, and ran really well to Buck- 

 shaw House, then more slowly to Warry's 

 Plantation, and so back to Holwell Plantations 

 again, at the end of forty-five minutes. A fresh 

 fox got up here, and, saving his relative, 

 defeated us. We drew the New Gorse and 

 Rodmooor blank, but found, in Lanes, a fox 

 whose timely discretion led her to go to ground 

 at Mr. Spicer's, at Bishop's Caundle, where we 

 left her in perfect safety.
