Clammer; up the bottom and into Hartford Cleeve, and over the 1875. 

 hill for Wynne Corner. It was now dark, and hounds a good bit 

 scattered. Got them together, and took them homewards along the 

 bottom, trying the water as far as Clammer, when there being a good- 

 moon the master decided to try it on to Bury. Fresh found the deer 

 in the water at 7.40. Another turn up the bottom and into Hartford 

 Cleeve, pointing for Haddon Wood. Again got them together, and 

 homewards down the bottom, where again fresh found him in almost 

 the same place. He was now getting beaten, but the hounds also 

 had had almost enough. Up the valley to Clammer and down to 

 Bury, and dodging up and down for some time; but at last, after 

 a hard struggle, he was driven under Bury Bridge and killed, at 

 9.15 P.M. A wonderfully strong deer, and not at all what had been 

 looked for for an afternoon run. B. T. 3 and 2. Head given to 

 Mr. William Karslake. 



September i^th, Hawk combe Head. — Found a stag which, in 

 jumping across the road, broke both forelegs, and was at once killed. 

 He had not been on foot five minutes, and hounds were not fairly on 

 his line. Another deer was then seen to come out of Park Wood 

 and break across the Lynton road for Hawkcombe Head. Over the 

 fence and the hill to Wear Water, down it a little way and along the 

 side of Mill Hill, above the water, for some distance; then up over, 

 and to Chalk Water by Stowford, and skirting the fence between 

 Oare Common and Kittuck, broke the fence to Tomshill, and down 

 the water to the floodgate ; up over Trouthill and all up Buscombe 

 to the Badgworthy Wall ; over it just below Two Gates, and down 

 the Brendon side of Farley Combe to the enclosures ; up the water 

 for a mile, over Cheriton ridge, and to the head of Hoar Oak 

 Combe ; all down the water to the enclosures, and killed him at the 

 meeting of the two waters just behind Combe Park. One hour and 

 fifty minutes. A fine deer with a fine widespread head. B. B. T. 2
