 appreciate the pace by the time, which was 

 thirty- two minutes from find to finish. 



April 35th. — 



From Holnest Pound we went to Long- 

 burton Gorse and found there, but had no run to 

 speak of; but from Broke we ran away nicely 

 over the brook towards Ferney Down, past it to 

 Fontleroi, and up the hill into the Holts ; after 

 a turn there, we went towards Bishop's Caundle 

 Brake, and back again past the hanging Holts to 

 Marsh Copse, and on to Withy Tree Copse, and 

 lost, after forty minutes' very pretty hunting. 

 We afterwards had a very good thirty-five 

 minutes from King's Plantation to Broke, up to 

 the high road from Sherborne to Dorchester, 

 from which he turned back right-handed, past 

 the edge of Broke, and on for Fontleroi, near 

 which we lost him. A very wild stormy day, 

 with cold showers. After running hounds 

 through some of the Sherborne Park Covers in 

 vain the Master gave the word for home.
