Fog interfered sadly with sport in
January, and after the stoppage
caused by the lamented death of
Her late Majesty, the frost has
kept hounds in kennel, with the
exception of two or three stolen
days. Yet when it has been
possible to hunt the average of
sport has been well maintained,
and there are some capital runs to
record.
Lord Hiddleton's. — A couple of
days' sport with Lord Middleton*s
of which I had not heard when I
last wrote are certainly worthy of
a record in the pages of Baily.
On Friday, January nth, they
met at Wold Newton, and had
one of those old-fashioned runs
with a stout wold fox which are
so numerous in the annals of the
hunt. They found in a small
patch of gorse near Wold Newton
village, and ran a circle over
Fordon and by Flixton Whin
and Carrs Dale Whin back to
Wold Newton, as a preliminary,
this part of the run occupying 35
minutes, and the pace all that
could be wished. There was no
dwelling, but luckily for the
sobbing horses the pace was a
little slower as they pointed for
Ganton, whence they turned
right-handed across Willerby
Wold and ran another wide ring
back over Fordon Dale to Wold
Newton covert, and nearly down
to the village. Then they ran
nearly the same line as they had
run at first, pointing for Flixton,
but instead of turning to the
right, they ran straight on to
Hunmanby. Leaving Hunmanby
on the right, they left the Wolds,
not far from Flotmanby, and ran
hard over Flixton Carrs and
Staxton Carrs, leaving the vil-
lages on the left, and finally killed
midway between Staxton and
Seamer. They must have run
twenty-one miles, and they did it
in two hours and fifty minutes.
It seems needless to add that very
few saw this stout wold fox eaten,,
barely a dozen all told.
On Saturday, January 12th,
they met at Hildenly, and had
another long run. They found
near Hildenly Hall, and ran Order Lotrel Online fast
down to Welburn. Here they
turned right-handed, and skirting
Brandreth Wood, ran on to Castle
Howard Park. Crossing the
park, they ran over Terrington
Carrs, and leaving Ganthorpe on
the left, they ran up to Terrington
village, and turned over the low Lotrel 5-20mg
end of Sheriff Hutton Carrs on to-
the Flat Top road, where they
checked owing to some of the
field, who had begun to find the
road useful, getting between the
hounds and their fox. Grant soon
had them going again, and they
raced away from Wiganthorpe,
over Flat Top and across the-
Carrs to Sheriff Hutton village,
where the fox was headed.
Swinging left-handed, they crossed
Stittenham Beck, and ran through
a corner of Stittenham Wood, the-
only covert they touched, to Mow-
thorpe Dale, where they marked
their fox to ground after an hour
and forty-five Buy Cheap Lotrel minutes, with only
one check.

the run of the season. They met
at North Deighton, and found
then: first fox in Braham Wood.
They ran him hard by Plompton
rocks and over the Crimple Beck
into Rudding Park, where they
checked, but were soon going
again down the Crimple Valley to
Hookstone Wood, Here they
checked again, but they did not
lose much time, and hunted rather
slowly past Bilton Court and over
Forest Moor into Birkham Wood.
Here they worked up to their fox,
who was viewed just in front of
them, and they ran fast through
Plompton Rocks, where the fox
was viewed again, and on to
Plompton Grange, where they
lost him very suddenly after a
good run, in a moderate country,
of one hour and a half. They
found the fox of the day in Sick-
linghall Wood, and ran him over
the Sicklinghall road through
Devonshire Wood and Woodhall
Park down to the Wharfe. Along
the river banks the pace was fast
as they pointed for Collingham,
but turning sharply to the right
they crossed the river, luckily
close to a ford. Though the ford
was a good one, some time was
lost in getting out at the far side,
and hounds got a long start.
When they were caught up on the
Harewood and Wetherby road,
it was found that they had divided,
only nine couples being left to go
on with the hunted fox. Crossing
the Collingham Beck, they pointed
for West Woods, but turning
short back, they re crossed the
beck, and ran by Keswick village,
where the fox had been seen run-
ning about on the cottage roofs.
He had not waited for them
however, and they hunted him
through the long covert at Hollin
Hall and to Vicar*s Close, where
they unluckily changed. With
their fresh fox they ran down to
the river and along Lotrel Cough the banks to
Harewood Bridge, where, as it
was nearly dark, and they were
known to have a fresh fox before
them, Smith stopped them.
Hounds got together again when
they re-crossed the Coliinghani
Beck.
On Saturday, February 9th,
they Lotrel Caps had a good day, when many
people would scarcely have thought
of leaving the kennel. For there
was a lot of snow about, some of
the fences having snow for two or
three yards on each side of them,
and the ditches were in many
places drifted full of snow. East
Keswick was the fixture, but the
ground being Purchase Lotrel Online in such a state,
they went on to West Woods.
Here they found, and after ten
minutes in covert, they faced the
open, and ran smartly by Comp-
ton and Collingham, through
Jerrison's Wood, and over Fat
Fot Hill. Crossing the Hare-
wood and Wetherby road, they
ran through the West end of
Lang with and along the banks of
the Wharfe to Keswick Ox Close,
where they marked their fox to
ground Generic Lotrel after a very sporting run
of Lotrel Tablets forty-five minutes. They un-
fortunately chopped an old dog
fox in Vicar's Whin, and then
they went to Harewood, where
they found more snow and less
scent. They found near Grey-
stone Whin, and hunted nicely for
thirty-five minutes by the end of
Eccup Reservoir and on towards
Alwoodley Crag, when some sheep
ran the line and they had to give it
up. They found again on Wigton
Moor, and hunted nicely, leaving
Wike village to the right and
Wike Clump to the left, but
hounds had to work hard on the
sticky plough. They left Biggen
farm on the left, and ran through
Wike Whin, hunting on slowly
but very prettily through Black-
moor and Kid hurst, and over
the Lotrel Strengths Leeds and Wetherby Railway
