272 HUNTING REMINISCENCES 



Nominal in the earth, and a quarrelsome hound 

 seizing him was the signal for all to worry before 

 help could arrive. Poor Nominal was sent home 

 by train with a whipper-in, but died in kennels that 

 night, and the culprit was drafted to the United 

 States of America. 



A capital day's sport was enjoyed after meeting 

 at Hose Grange on November 17th, and GiUard 

 remarks : " I never knew hounds run better." 

 After finding in Hose Thorns the pack went away 

 over Penn Hill, turning to Sherbrooke's Covert, 

 running a ring back, making a good finish by 

 killing their fox handsomely. Over the Smite 

 Mr. Cecil Grenfell gave the lead, and but very few 

 struggled to the end — these including Mr. Edgar 

 Lubbock, riding that good mare Carlton, ]Mr. 

 Guy Fenwick, Mr. V. Hemery, Mr. de Winton. 

 Another really good hunt of over two hours was 

 that on the 21st, from Burbidge's Covert, a fox 

 running into Cottesmore country. After slow 

 hunting, a return was made to Burbidge's Covert, 

 and hounds getting on quick-scenting grass, fairly 

 raced over the flats by Burton, away for Great 

 Dalby and Ashby Pastures in Quorndom, where a 

 good fox saved his brush by getting to ground. 

 Those who saw the best of this fine gallop were 

 Lord Edward Manners, Mrs. E. Lubbock, Count 

 Zhrowski, Rev. J. P. Seabrooke, and Mr. W. Gale. 



A meet in the market square of Folkingham on 

 23rd was a revival this season of an old fixture in 

 1805, when Shaw was huntsman, and Sir Gilbert 

 Heathcote lord of the manor of Folkingham.
