least. Another, with a Fox of the year, 

 the quickest thing I ever saw, and killed 

 him a few fields from Takely Forest, the 

 Pack running into him in the open. Again, 

 a run of one hour and ten minutes, ten 

 miles an end and killed. But a run I had 

 from a covert a short distance from Old 

 Park, was one of the most brilliant things 

 I witnessed during the time I kept hounds ; 

 when we found him we considered him an 

 Old Park fox ; and as he went away, a 

 friend of mine, an old member of the 

 " Talents Hunt," said to me, " there he 

 goes, he is one of the old sort, my Master, 

 he is not to be measured to-day ! You will 

 never see him again ! " my answer was, " / 

 hope not alive, Sir." My hounds were close 

 at his brush when he broke covert, and they 

 went the very best pace for fifty-five mi- 

 nutes over the open without a check, and 

 killed him at the edge of a chain of wood- 

 lands, where we were certain of changing.
