them five ladies — Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Bellew, Mrs. Byass, Miss C. 

 Halliday, and Miss A. Williams. A fair stag with an honest B. T. 2 

 on both horns. Three hounds changed on to another deer at Badg- 

 worthy and ran it to Hawkridge. 



September 16th, Pittcombe Head. — Drew the plantation on the 

 north side of the road for some time, blank ; then went to the south 

 side and found a stag at 2.30 above Robber's Bridge, which, in spite 

 of all efforts, broke' up into the big plantation. After running here 

 for some time and putting up a male deer, he broke away by Oare 

 Post (having been blanched at Pitt Combe Head), to Wear Cot and 

 Wear Water, up stream to CoUey Water, out to the right to Chalk 

 Water, Kittuck, Deer Park, and to Badgworthy Water at the ford 

 above Cloud. Up the water, broke from it up Longcombe and 

 across the Brendon road to Farley Water, by Peghill ford. Cast 

 down to Bridge Ball without success, then back over Cheriton ridge 

 with the same result, so returned to the water, where they hunted 

 the stale line downward till Arthur dismounting made out that he had 

 backed it on his foil and gone up. Cast up accordingly, and at last 

 hit out above Elson Barrow and fresh found their stag in the Cleeve 

 at six o'clock. He at once recrossed the valley and pointed for Scob- 

 hill, but could not face the steep and turned down through Farley 

 enclosures to the water, where he was killed a little above Farley 

 House at 6.10. Every hound up. A good bodied deer with a small 

 head. B. T. 2 on both horns. 



September 23^^, Mountsey Hill Gate. — Found four stags in 

 Loosehall Wood ; ran one very sharp up the valley and killed him 

 under Withypool, The Revising Barrister was holding his Court at 

 Withypool that day, and he with the whole of the Court rushed out 

 to see the finish; after which progress was reported and the Court 

 resumed. A second stag was killed this day in Barlynch Weir Pool.
