The meet was at Haydon Lodge. We 

 found our first fox this morning in Crackmore, 

 and ran him well towards the Ruins, where he 

 turned left and swam the lake, one hound after 

 him. Meantime another fox took the attention 

 of Brown and the pack, who ran him into 

 Goathill, and on up over Haydon Hill, Dead- 

 man's Copse, and Tripps, turning left to 

 Ashcombe, up to the Holts ; and, after a little 

 delay there, out by Rowditches to Marsh 

 Copse, and back again, finally losing in the 

 Holts. Then, in the usual snow showers, we 

 ran another fox from Biddlescombe about 

 Plumley, and eventually to Holtham, and lost.
