1887. 329 



April 5th. — 



There was more scent, and we had a 

 gallop of thirty minutes from the Knoll, near 

 Chetnole, and lost at Admiral Digby's 

 plantation. The meet, I nearly forgot to say, 

 was at Totnel Corner. We did not find at all 

 till two o'clock, and, after the run above- 

 mentioned, we found a second fox in Bailey 

 Ridge, and ran by Leigh and Batcombe, and 

 up the hill to Sydling Barn, and lost about 

 five o'clock, and a long way from home we 

 were ; but it was no matter, as we had a real 

 good day's sport. 



April 6th.— 



The Master was able to be out again, and 

 brought his pack to Hay don Lodge. We found 

 in Goat Hill, and, after a smart ring round 

 the cover, killed almost directly in the field 

 adjoining. No more sport followed, though we 

 found a fox in Crendles, but he was unwilling 

 to enter into the spirit of the thing, and 

 retired abruptly.
