left, by the Holland track, to Willingford, down the valley and 1882. 

 through Lishell Wood to Zeal ; then to the right, up over Anstey 

 Common, through Woodlands, crossing Churchtown to Badlake, and 

 to the right, above Yeo Mills, to the main road ; then westward 

 nearly to Bommertown, fresh finding her by the road ; then to the 

 railway by Leigh, and on by it to Hall Farm, where killed her after 

 a run of five hours. They raced her over the open, but over the 

 enclosures scent was bad, and but for slotting we should hardly have 

 got up to her. A young hind. 



January ()ih, Hawkcombe Head. — Found a hind at once in 

 Lord Lovelace's plantations ; through them to the western end, across 

 the road down to Oare ford, and back to the plantations again to 

 Twitchen. Broke over the Lynton road again, and over Porlock 

 Common, nearly to Alderman's Barrow, and to the right over Kittuck, 

 Manor allotment, and Deer Park, to Badgworthy Water below the 

 wood, where killed her. 



On the road home a single hind crossed from Tomshill across 

 Kittuck close to the pack. Laid them on, and they ran over Mill 

 Hill to the green path ; up Wear Water, and across the Porlock road, 

 to Great Hill and Chetsford Water; thence to the right, by Alder- 

 man's Barrow, Porlock Common, Kittuck, Manor allotment, and 

 Deer Park, to Badgworthy Water. Down stream, and out to the left, 

 over Badgworthy and Brendon Commons, to Farley Combe; down 

 the water, and over by Farley Farm, to Hoar Oak Water; up it a 

 mile and a half, and to the left, back by Brendon Two Gates and 

 over Brendon Common, towards Malsmead, but turned short to the 

 right over Badgworthy Common to the water, and up it to the 

 shepherd's cottage, where killed her. Hounds raced all day. (There 

 were many fine runs with the hounds between Farley and Horner 

 in the course of this season, which was a wonderful one for sport in 

 autumn and winter alike.)
