1 62 Tally ho, 



at this tliis period of the year. Jogging along in the 

 direction of Swinley, we arrive at Gravel Hill^ to find 

 that the hind Accident has already been uncarted ; 

 and sufficient law having already been given, the 

 bounds are at once laid on and go away at a rattling 

 pace, running parallel with the Nine-mile Ride, point-

 Windsor Forest, after an excellent run of two hours 

 and a half.
