THE FIELD

'f April !•] 
R CRAVEX HUNT. — RANGER'S ANSWJiU TO ACTION. 
y 0 „ i.nvo thought fit to ntlftck mo in the most 
" • ct'ifiablo amt uncalled Coe manner, and the spirit and 
U "J US f ?our letter is anything but what ought to have 
10,10 front one gentleman to another. I am not aware that 
C ° n,e attacked the field management of the Craven hounds, 
1 ®. v ' h you attempt to mnke out that I have done so ; but 
Sal stated that these hounds had shown a good season's 
b0rt t vour bile would not lmve been so easily raised. 
' I llivo been acquainted with tho Craven country for the 
* .. cn ,.. years, and om a well-wisher to tho hounds; I 
l8Sl unite aware that n dry season is against sport being 
0,11 1 j n t |,j S country, and a wet one Is in favour of It ; and 
• 1 ;; o i d , n yself ucconntablo for tho truth of what I write, 
? 6 maintain that the sport this season (taking tho season 
L-oUChout) i, ftS ,,ot been good, or up to the expectations of 
Y kjontinff tn&U ; 1 maintain that bounds may kill their 
dirty brace of foxes, and yet not show sport. You say, 
<< Fuli-ploy's o jewel,” nud yet what do you do ? You abuse 
I Craven country— you run down the hounds, and blame 
tllo gentry for not. having tho earths properly stopped. 
Added to tills, you try to Injuro the reputation of two well- 
known huntsmen (Footo and Clark) by stating that the 
hounds were unhealthy nlul crippled. Is this fair, Mr. 
Aciteon 1 I can point out to you many worse countries than 
the Craven ; and I should much like to know to wlint 
cause you attribute the great change that must so suddenly 
havo token plaCO in the hounds 1 for at tllo close of last 
ucoson these hounds were as useful and efficient u pack as 
ono commonly meets with. To prove my assertion, I appeal 
to the master (Mr. Best) and the subscribers to the hunt. 
I do not for a moment believo that the tlirco strangers 
vou name have exorted themselves one jot more than any 
other throe persons in tho same position would have done. 
You state that the Craveu hounds began cub-hunting the 
gecond week in September. I maintain they commenced in 
August ! IIow Is this? I like to deal with facts. 
In conclusion, I cannot for a moment think that your 
loiter cun be pleasing to tho subscribers to tho hounds, nor 
do I imagine you will receive the thanks of tho master (Mr. 
Best) for exposing the country us you have donp. You 
may be, for aught I know, a great professor in theory, but 
ore certainly a small ono in practice. Yours, Rangbh. 
Extraordinary Run with Lonn Lonsdale’s 
HARitiiiRS- — On Friday, the 24lh ult., the meet was at 
Bedgrovo (T. W. Morris, Esq.), when a good muster as- 
semb'ed, it being the finish. So we had a fox, which we 
picked up near the Aylesbury and Wendovcr Road ; when 
we went to Die left of Woedon's Farm, and straight till we 
reached tho Stoke Hoad, when he turned to the right, cross- 
ing that road just below Long Crosswav, by Boll’s Farm, to 
Chad, Eton Ilill, and round Moreton Thicket to tho left, up 
by Meadle, tho hounds bolng a mile ahead, by Monk* Ris- 
borough, to White Leaf Wood, where we had a check. Soon 
we want on to Brndenham Wood, through it nearly to West 
Wycombe, wliore wo killed in Hie open. The run was fast, 
and over about twelve miles of good hunting country, in 
good style. Cochin. 
Hun with Baron Rothschild’s Hounds.— Sir, — On 
Monday they met at Aston Clin, to where we ran from 
there to tho canal along the path away to tho right to 
Weston, from there to Broughton, thence to Bierton,and on 
to Golby farm, finishing nt Bluctithorn grove without a 
check. The hounds went so fast, no one could keep up, find 
when Ball arrived they had eaten his head. On Saturday 
Lord Lonsdale’s finishing day with his foxhounds 
was at Wendover lime- kilns, but, sorrowful to say, wo 
finished nt Humlrjdge, wttll a blank. Yours, See , 
Cochin. 
Hospitality — .Tho Earl Spencor has left St. James’s 
place for Althorp Park, where his lordship will entertain 
company during the Pytchlcy Hunt meeting. 
The Bicester Hounds will, it is now understood, be con- 
tinued by T. T. Drake, K-q , the present master whose hunting 
residence will be Stratton Altdley Hougo, about two miles 
from liicat r.
