season, and then Mr. Ernest Chaplin, now so 

 well known with Mr. Tailby and the Pytcjiley. 



After these gentlemen, the pack was hunted 

 by Peter Kelly, a hard-riding Irishman, who, 

 when they were given up, went to hunt the 

 garrison fox-hounds at Gibraltar. 



One of the best runs they had ended with 

 their driving the hare over Ewhurst Lake, 

 one hundred and fifty yards wide, all the pack 

 in chase taking the water and killing in the 

 middle. Mr. Pole, Mr. Twitchin, and Mr. 

 George Brooks of Sherborne, all good sports- 

 men, were frequent followers. Mr. Chaplin's 

 family often turned out, nine in number. At 

 his death, the pack was sold to a gentleman 

 in Kent, who w anted them to drive the woods 

 in the shooting season; but, of course, they 

 were useless for that purpose. 



The N. F. H. had a series of ex- Good runs 

 cellent runs on the 8th from Beaulieu, ^ f. h. 

 when Colonel Lawrenson, Colonel ApnL 

 Parker, Mr. Mills, General Robbins, and Cap- 

 tain Shedden had the best of it ; and on the

 run of one hour and a quarter ; and first this 

 day were the masters, Mr. E. Timson and 

 Captain Powell.
