Cuzzicombe. Here the hounds crossed Mr. Smyth's harriers in full 1S78. 

 cry, cannoning and flooring half of them. Down over Cuzzicombe to 

 Twitchen Mill, on through Twitchen Mill Wood to Millbrook, where 

 he was headed and turned to the left by Pitt, turning again to water 

 in the Mole under Sannacott ; down it to close by the railway, when 

 he was fresh found at 4.23. To the general astonishment he crossed 

 the line in front of the fast afternoon train (which considerately 

 pulled up), and went away over Johnstone Moors to water below 

 Bish Mill. Tried all down the stream under Blastridge Wood, and 

 viewed the deer in one of the meadows. This view nearly lost us 

 the deer, for the current being very strong hounds were cast all down 

 to Alswear and below it, and the new pack was not quite up to the 

 water work like the old one. A hound was now seen trying to make 

 out a line upwards, and by dint of slotting the pack hunted up to 

 him, and fresh found him in Blastridge Wood. Marvellous again to 

 every one he broke from the water, and over the hill to Great Hele, 

 and was finally run into Broomhill Farm, Georgenympton, at six 

 o'clock. B. B. T. 2 and 2. Long clean points. Head given to 

 Mr. Kendall. (This deer was on foot six hours and ten minutes, 

 and must have covered an enormous distance, the two points being 

 twenty miles apart as the crow flies, and as the deer ran between 

 thirty and forty. — Ed.) 



February 21st, Triscombe Stone. — A good deal of snow every- 1879- 

 where this morning. Found two hinds in Bagborough Plantation at 

 11.30; killed one very quickly, and laid the pack on two more, 

 which had been viewed up the water under Great Wood. All up the 

 stream to the top of Ramscombe, and checked, but fresh found on 

 the top of the cover on the western side. Raced her over the hill to 

 Sogs, down the bottom under Butterfly, turning to the left out of 

 Hayman's Combe over Harenaps, and skirting the top of Adders- 

 combe over the hill into Crowcombe Park ; down the water as usual
