278 APPENDIX A. 



1886. one away single by Badgworthy Wood to Deer Park, where the pack 

 (which was kennelled in Doone valley) was laid on. Away over 

 Oare Common to Chalk Water, where a slight check, and on below 

 Stowford Bottom to Mill Hill ; thence to the right between Black 

 Barrow and Wear Water (the hind in view), and by Colley Water, to 

 Lucott Moor, Nutscale, Great Hill, and Chetsford Water ; on below 

 Snow's Path and some way on the south side of Dunkery ; turned 

 short down to Bagley, and down under Sweetworthy, then up the 

 path over Easter Hill, where two deer were before them. From this 

 point not a soul was with them, the huntsman's horse having cast a 

 shoe, and no one else near them. They went on alone to Bincombe, 

 over it and the bottom of Annicombe to Luccombe Alders and 

 Plantations ; thence through the enclosures to Blackford, East Lynch, 

 Hindon, and Bratton Court, and over North Hill to Greenaleigh, 

 where the deer went to sea. But it was not the hunted hind, but a 

 male calf. There were deer all over the place, and on Dunkery 

 the pack divided before the bulk of the hounds went down into 

 Sweetworthy, where they divided once more. The huntsman 

 having got his second horse, stopped the hounds running about 

 Dunkery, and did his best to pick up the hunted hind, but 

 without success. A very fine run, the pace tremendous. A foggy 

 day with drizzling rain, which did not make it easier to keep 

 hounds in sight. 



February Zth, Marsh Bridge. — A very good run from Whiterocks 

 to Sandyway and back to Broford. Only the master and huntsman 

 anywhere near them; and they were beaten oif by the pace and 

 patches of frozen ground. Scent was very good on this day, as also 

 on another of slight frost and snowstorms (January iSth), when they 

 ran a very strong hind from South Hill to Haddon, from Haddon to 

 Hawkridge ridge, finally killing her in the Exe under Stockham. 

 Four hours without a check.
