April 7th. — 



From Holnest Pound we went to Long- 

 burton Gorse. A fox, to oblige us, took a 

 turn by Six Acres, Stockbridge, and Whitfield, 

 but, after pursuing him in vain for about an 

 hour, we gave him up, and found another in 

 Butterwick, and ran him slowly about, losing 

 him eventually at Glanvilles Wootton. A bitter 

 cold wind blowing stongly all day. 



April pth. — 



The meet was at the Kennels ; the wind 

 was still Easterly — for consistency's sake, 

 perhaps, at Kaster. Scent was better, for, 

 after an uneventful morning about Charlton 

 Gorse, ending with going to ground there, we 

 had a good hunting run in the afternoon from 

 Cheriton Wood, by Dodington's Plantation and 

 Stowell ; and eventually, after some slow, 

 scientific hunting, leaving the Templecombe 

 Woods and Horsington on the right, hounds 

 ran into their fox in the open, behind Mr. 

 Bewsey's House, in South Cheriton, in forty- 

 six minutes, after which we went home.
