3i8 1887. 



March loth. — 



The meet was at Totnel Corner ; the fox 

 was at Sweethills. On leaving, he took a swing 

 round by Bailey Ridge and back, and then 

 away to Gaulpits, Home Bushes, and Whitfield ; 

 thence, after hanging a little in cover, away 

 for Stockbridge, and by Gordon's Gorse and 

 Home Bushes, winding slowly back again to 

 Whitfield. After some delay there, hounds came 

 out on the Yetminster side and ran at a fair 

 pace over a very unfair country (some of us 

 thought) to the back of Chetnole village and to 

 ground. It was a difficult run to time, and my 

 watch was not equal to the task. By the time 

 the kill was over, however, it was distinctly time 

 to go home. 



March nth.- 



From Mudford Bridge we went straight to 

 Chilthorne Donier, and from there had a slow 

 run towards Montacute, near which place we 

 lost. Found again in Ashington Clump, but 

 hounds did not get away on good terms with 

 him, and scent was very flashy and uncertain,
