Cover. Hanover was drawn blank, bnt from 

 Tripp's, onr next draw, hounds went away on 

 the drag of a fox, and ran to Plnmley slowly, 

 and were then whipped off. We found again 

 in another snowstorm in Huddlestone's Gorse, 

 ran through Frith, into Stalbridge Park, past 

 the Wood and the farm, down almost to the 

 Stalbridge and Templecombe road ; swung back, 

 and then crossed Landshire Lane, down towards 

 Caundle Brake, when he ran up to Frith, and 

 in fort3^-iive minutes ran to ground in Frith 

 Bottom, and was dug and eaten. It was now 

 past two, and several of the field went home, 

 and so missed the afternoon of a really good 

 day. While hounds were eating him another 

 fox had been marked to ground by the keepers 

 in a hedge close by ; he was bolted, and, after 

 a sharp turn, made for Purse Caundle Gorse, 

 and slowly on to Toomer, below which hounds 

 ran into and killed him. It was past four 

 o'clock when we found a big fox in Mr. 

 Dodington's new cover, ran up over the hill 

 to West Wood, to Martin's Wood, and, heading 

 for Yenston, bore left to Templecombe Railwa}'
