GOOD RUN WITH MR GARTH'S HOUNDS.

Sm —This popular pack met on Friday, the 28th ult., at Tylney
Hall, the residence of Mr Harris. The field was rather small, owing to
the wet morning ; but those who Ail face it vere well repaid for their
trouble, the day turning out fine after eleven o'clock. We found at
Blackwood. The fox broke away on the top side of the covert, making
for Checkhams, leaving it and going on for Caesars ; skirting this, he
bore on for Thorps, but did not enter this covert, making his way on to
Pithams. Leaving that covert on the right, he went over Mr Dixon's
farm, crossing over the Basingstoke road, making his way for the river
Loddon, which he crossed, goingon over Mr King'sfarm to Strathfieldsaye,
over Mrs Randell's f arm, away over the meadows to Little Park Farm, on
to Great Park Farm. From here the poor little fellow struggled on nearly
to Mortimer ; but the hounds ran into him just before he got there, thug
ending one of the best runs that I have ever seen with these or any
other hounds. The distance was about eight miles ; the time from find .
to kill was forty minutes, so that you can form some idea of the pace \
they went. The country was fearfully deep, and the hounds never '
checked till they killed him. Amongst those in at the death I noticed
Mr Clinnock, of Crookham ; Miss Pigott, Mrs Charrington^essrs*^.
Cordery and his grandson (riding a capital pony), E. Paul, E. Goddaifl,
Brackley (the huntsman), Molyneux (the first whip),' and a* man on a ;
chesnut horse, with a few others I did not know. I should say |
Molyneux and the man on the chesnut horse had rather the best of it. :
Unfortunately Mr Garth, Ool. Mildmay, and several others did not get
away with the hounds, so were out of this good nm. The Culprit.

MR. GARTH'S HOUNDS.

THE MEET ON FRIDAY, the lltli instant, was at
Waterend, and, being within easy reach of Basingstoke,
attbrded the followers of the Vine and H. H. , which packs
do not meet on Fridays, an opportunity of trying their luck
with Mr. Garth's. The weather was propitious, though the
northerly wind and a rising glass boded ominously for the
future.

The first draw was Eastmoor, a small cover belonging to
Mr. Addison, who predicted a find. He turned out to be a
time prophet, for after a little patient waiting, which allowed
late-comers the law Mr. Garth had not for once given them,
a fox broke away on the Max>leduiwell side, and, crossing
the eanal by the swing bridge, ran through the village just
named, and out on to the rising ground beyond in the
direction of Hackwood Farm. Just as everyone thought
they were in for a good gallop in the H. H. country, he
went to ground in a small cover, the name of which I do
not know. There was nothing for it now but to trot back
to Hods and Bells, where we picked up some more laggards,
who would have been very much out of it if our fox had
done his duty and allowed Brackley the pleasure of a kill
in a neighbouring country. Hods was no go ; but whilst
hounds \^ ere in Bells there was a holloa from that part of
the cover next the railway, and the bitches being lifted to
it, soon made the place musical. Away they went ac oss
the Basing Road, then to the left past Smallbone's
Farm, and it was evident that Sherfield was his point.
But the inevitable labourer, who cannot let a fox
go straight if he wants to, headed him, with the
result that he turned short back towards cover again. He
did not enter it, however, but, crossing Pat Lane in a left-
handed direction, kept on down the meadows next the
embankment ; and then, with another turn to the left,
once more endeavoured to make good his point. Running
through Ashmoor Copse, he crossed the Basing Road, close
to Lyde Mill, and went straight across the water meadows
and wild moor to the Loddon. Although scent was bad on
the arable, hounds ran well down the meadows, and there
was some very pretty fencing, together with a good deal
that was not pretty. Wildmoor is a queer place to get into
if you don't know your way about, and straight riding is
not always possible, or, at least, has its difficulties, as more
than one follower of Mr. Garth's found out. Arrived at the
Loddon, there was a check, owing to hounds running heel,
and, v/hen this had been rectified, it was found that the
fox had gone on to Long Copse. Hounds did not seem
able to make much of him in cover, and, though Brackley
drew on in the direction of the Sherfield Road, it seemed as
if he had given us the slip, many inclining to the belief
that he was by that time in Carpenter's Down.

This turned out to be incorrect, however, for presently
there was a distant holloa from the water meadows near
Blacklands Farm, half way between Long Copse and Bells,
which Brackley at once proceeded to investigate. The
country here was almost as puzzling as Wildmoor, and the
field Avere scattered all over the place in their endeavours
to get across the Loddon and sundry water ditches with
rotten banks. When laid on to the line, hounds at first
ran heel until turned to the horn by the second whip, wlio
was handy, but eventually took it across a small stream
and into a little cover on the other side, where, after one Ckr
two turns round, they killfed their fox.

r\.oae:_ but when we entered the Duke of Wellington! Park there
were hopes of better things. A welcome holloa put us all

round *ei-n just outside the plantations. Running through the

^Jyt*. Wednesday, the 30th, met at Clere Park. Found a fox

wL{^i/^ somewhere in the vicinity of Old Park, whom y\e tow-rowed
-^'^**^ ' about for a considerable time in the bottoms, and eventually
lost, probably in a drain. Some said there were two on
foot, but as to that I cannot speak. Anyhow, it was rather
an aggravating business. After this we had a long trot
down the hill to Coxmoor, taking Faulkner's C7i route, but
without success. The former cover m- as equal to the occa-
sion, how^ever, a good fox (the same one that I spoke of in
my notes of a fortnight ago), going aw^ay at the bottom end.
Crossing the meadows into Faulkner's, he curled to the
left, swam the canal, the field making in a hurry
for the nearest bridge, which was some distance ott,
and then pointed in the direction of Pilcot, and
thence into l)ogmersfield Park. However, we ran him no
further than the Water Meadows at Pilcot, and some cold
rainstorms coming on, he slipped away without our getting
on terms with him. Brackley trotted on to the Park, and
drew a lot of cover next the canal in the direction of Winch-
held, but, so far as 1 know, for I left them at Winchfield
Church, W' ithout result.

As usual there were a lot of Aldershot men out, one of
whom got a fall at the top of Old Park in jumping a hedge
into the Farnham Koad, w^here that worst of traps lay
hidden, viz., wire. However, he fell light, and was soon in
the saddle again. I noticed Mr. Hankey, of Silverlands,
Mrs. Parsons, Mr. Gosling, Captain Young, Mr. Lodge, Mr.
Macdonald, and Mr. Addison during the morning, while
Major Mildmay joined us at Coxmoor, neglecting shooting
for "the chance of a gallop. Wildmoor.

MR. GARTH'S.

OLDSHOTT MILL was the fixture on Friday, the 1st,

, 1 when a large field turned out for the occasion. The

weather was close and damp, with a southerly wind, and

riding to hounds proved very warm as well as very dirty

Fiery Mead and Risley Bushes were tried first, but whilst
hounds were in here, a holloa was heard from Heckfaeld
Heath, and on going to it Brackley found that a fox had
jumped up in front of some foot people m the vicinity ot

the gravel pits. - The bitches were soon on his line, and ied

us at a good pace in the direction of the monument, then to

the left parallel Avith the Basingstoke Road, round by

Malthouse Farm, anl below Highheld Park, in the direction

of Hound Green, Instead of making for Blackwood, however,

he kept on with a left handed curl, and evidently meant to

complete the circle at Heckfield again. As it was we ran

liim as far as Danmoor, a cover close to the Heatii, and

here lost him. There was a feeble sort of holloa about this

time down in the meadows by Holdshott Mill, but as it was

not kept up and did not seem to be genuine, no notice was

taken of it. Not being able to do anything in Danmoor,

Brackley crossed over into Heckfield Place, and drew all

round the shrubberies, but without result. Finding he

could make nothing of the fox, Charles very soon set his

face for Blackwood and neighbouring co^ ers. As it was we

had a nice little gallop, though it is always disappomtmg

to be stopped just when one is getting warm. After this

we had a long wait, whilst Brackley drew the Tkackems

and other covers, into Blackwood, on through Nightingale's

and Tylney Park, as far as Augustin's without success. I

did hear, however, that whilst hounds were in Nigtingale's

a fox was viewed away near Hook. Moonlight Gorse, some

three miles oft; was the next draw, but as the afternoon was

getting old, and I was near home, I did not follo^^^_

Wednesday, met at the Bound Oak, \< arleigli Hill, a large
eld turning out. Whilst awaiting the arrival of the
■laster 1 heard two items which may here be set down,
^irst, and this I regret to record, Taylor, the second whip,
let with an accident on Saturday last on Bagshot Heath,
•eing pitched on his head and putting his left collar bone
ut. Luckily this was the extent of the damage, and as
le is reported doing well, I hope a week or two will see
iim in the saddle again. Item No. 2, this pack had a
apital day on Monday, meeting at Easthampstead Park,
.nd killing three foxes after good good runs, two of which
the foxes, not the runs) were found in, or close to the park.

5ut to return to Bound Oak. I noticed the following in | ^ , ♦

he saddle: — Mr. Hargreaves, sen. and Son, Miss Har- fJ /y(r-^J'~ {yCuoL^

;Teaves, General Sir Evelyn Wood, Captain Hon Limbrey ' — ^'"^ ^ ^

>clater-Booth, Sir Reginald Cathcart, Commander Rickman,
Vliss Campbell, Miss Barker, Miss Pigott, General Leir-
IJarleton, Mr. Illingworth, Mr. and ]\Iiss Saunderson, the
Countess Morella, Mrs. Charrington, Mr. W. Simmonds,
Mr." John Simmonds, Mr. W. Cordery, Mr. Addison, Mr.
Paul, Dr. Comber, Captain Bayford," Mr. A. Wyatt, Mi'.
H. Stilwell, and Mr. Gosling.

Found a fox at once in Big Wood or Great Copse, for it
appears to be equally well known by either appellation,
who went away at the bottom of the hill, turned to the
rigbt, towards Mr. Cordery's, and then, being headed, came
back again into the wood. Unfortunately, there were so many
footpeople about that all his attempts to break again — and
he tried more than once — were frustrated, and after a pro-
longed scurrying about in cover he was run into. It was a
pity, for he proved a line dog, and would, no doubt, have
given us a good orallop if he had not been interfered with.

After this there was a long draw, with no result, and I
left them, about three o'clock, going in the direction of
Longmoor Bog and Fiiichainpsiead Ridged. I am very
much mistaken if they did not lind in this neighbourhood,
but what :Lort of spcrt they had I ara unable to say. Mcit of
us got a good drenching, for, as. someone remarked, the
rain was verv wet. WiLDMOOR.

MR. GARTH'S HOUNDS. y

ON FRIDAY, the 5th inst., the meet was at Waterend, to
finish the s- ason so far at this side of Mr. Garth's country
is concerned. Though fine in the early niorning, the weather [
looked, as Hampshire folk say, "a little altery." ^ !

As a matter of course, our initial draw was Mr. Addison's
cover, but for the fiist time for many a d^iy it failed us.
Howevf r, foxes cannot be expected to stay in a little cover
for ever, especially after having been bustled about by,
hounds so oittn as the hounds Utely resident there have. I
After this we had a long weary draw, in the course of[-
which some smart showers of rain and hail helped to con- \
tribute to the general cheerlessness of thii'g^. To complete
our aggravation, just as we had got fairly under weigh for .
Ccesars, and had left Hook Common behind, a holloa back |
was heard. Thither we »11 returned belter skelter along the !
hard high joad, only to discover— well, a mare's nest, moon- 1
shine, anything but the line of a fcx. Some of these days,
unless I am much mistaken, one of these humbugging
hoUoaers will find that there is much virtue in whipcord
when properly applied. This aggravating episode so die-

ej

gusted some of the field, already very wet and weary of
(loiiiK nothing, that they promptly jogged home.

That " all things come to him who waits," proved
true in this ease, however, for after a long trot
to C.-esars we had our reward. Mr. Bird's gal-
lant fox (who has already given us the slip twice,
if not oftener, after a nice little spin) was at home,
and, true to his usual |iractice, did not wait for hounds to
tell the tale, but slipped quietly out on what proved to be
his longest and last journej'. A holloa ! a blast on the
horn, and away we go to the sound of merry music, along
the green lane next Blackwood, then to the right up the
hill to the copse next Mr. Bird's house, where our fox has
evidently been awaiting the development of events ; for as
hounds enter at one end he slips out at the other and crosses
the road under the noses of the already-arrived field. Some
put their hnrses at the steep bank, and scramble over more
or less safel}', others hunt for gaps, while others again take

A2yif^'^'^~^

the safer though less exhilirating turnpike. On we go f^

across the open, djwn the hill, leaving ^V malls on the left, Jt,/^ tit>'^^^^

very nearly to the stream running through Wildmoor.
Jumping into and out of a deep lane, we catch a glimpse of
the first, but by no means tlie last riderless horse. No
damage done, however, and up and away is the word. Over
the open we pound at a good pace, fences coming pretty
often, into Tylney Park and across it, keeping the lower
side, to Lone Barn Lane, where there is a slight
check, though nothing to speak of. Casting the
hounds into the big wheatfield next Cumfield Copse,
Charles soon had them on the line, which they take
across into Webb's, and on in the direction of
Augustins, where our fox must have doubled back, for as
we get to Webb's there is a holloa hack tm the brow of the
hill above Cuiiifielu, to which Charles lifts the hounds. (I
afterwards heard that he (the fox) came straight back
through Webb's and crossed into Cumfield, being viewed
as he did so.) Before we get to thii holloa there is another
away in Tylney Park, ju-t below the hall, and continuing
down Tylney Lane, Brackley lays the pack on here. Our
fox is said to be ten minutes ahead of us, and going well.

Once more we re-cross the Park, this time considerably
higher up than the line we had come, and leave it by an old
farmhouse m the lane leading to Kotherwick, cross Wil-
liams's nursery garden, and run through Winall's, after
which the line bears rather to the left np the hill we had
come down soon after starting. (Here I must write in the
past instead of the present tense, for reasons which I need
not S|iecity.) Running over the open on Mr. Bird's farm,
our fox went down to a little cover near Chandler's Green,
where we afterwards heard he was viewed. In the mean-
time, however, liounds got on to the line of a fresh fox,
which, after crossing a field or two, was very fortunately
discovered to be a vixen, and the pack was stopped in the
nick of time, for theyweie close on to her. It was said
that she had cubs laid down in a hedgerow somewhere in
the neighbourhood.

Charles then took hounds by Odiham Bridles and Thorns
on to Lo*er Pittmans, where he gathered information as to
our hunted fox. Having cast the bitches into the corner-
they hit off the line very prettily, working It througn vo
the other end, where further indication of Lis whereabouts
was forthcoming in the shape of a holloa from the direction
of Park Pittams. Hounds having been lifted across the
road, very soon became musical, and away they went at a

food pace across the Park, to some fern just below the
lantations, where we found a fox earlier in the season.
Turning to the left, nearly down to the water, in front of the
Duke's house, they kept on over the grass, still left-handed,
acres the drive, and on through the shrubbery to the road
running from the Wellington Arms to the Loddon. Here
our fox had turned, and come back towards the drive again,
hounds being close behind him, and in a minute or two
more they rolled him over, not far from the Lodge next the
hostelry above mentioned. Time, from start to finish, not
far off two-anda-lialf hours, estimates or watches varying
between two-and-a-quarter and two-and-a-half ; scent,
though nothing to boast of, was very fair. A memor-
able run, not, of course, to be placed on a par with the gallop
of the season from Blackwooi to Mortimer, but worthy of
a red letter in the anuals of the Garth Hunt for 1888-9. A
gallant fox too, of a sort that are unfortunately but scarce
hereabouts. It is devoutly to be hoped that he is the pro-
genitor of the litter of cubs alluded to above, in which case
we may look forward to some more good runs from Mr.
Bird's covers next season.

Every hound was up at the finish, and most of the field,
the ringing nature of the run, together with the check when
we got on to the wrong fox, having let up many who were
getting behind. Horses seemed to have nad pretty nearly
enough of it, and refreshment for man and beast being so
handy, there was a rush for gruel and etceteras.

Miue host of the Wellington Arms seemed a trifle
knocked out of time by the sudden influx of thirsty souls
and got very much mixed ; but, eventually, everyone
secured his particular drink and was happy. Finishing up,
as we did, about 4.30, there was plenty oi daylight for even
the most distant to go home by.

The following, among others, were out : — Mr. W. W. B.
Beach, M.P. , and Miss Beach, Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Chin-
nock, Colonel Harvey, General Leir-Carletim, Mr. Wick-
ham, Major and Mr. Gerald Mildmay, the Mi.sses Barker,
Mr. W. Siuiond^, Mr. A. Wallingtou, Mr. Randolph, Mr.
A. Wyatt, Mr. and Mrs. Charrington, General Owen, Capt.
Young, Miss Pigott, Mr. Addison, Mr. A. White and son,
Mr. Paul, Mr. lllingworth and daughter, Mr. Bridger, Mr.
Barton, and Mr. J. Brooks.

MR. GARTH'S.

rltlDAY WKE]\ these houmls met at Doyiiierslield, ami
we had a very pleasant day's hunting;, in spite of the
fact tliat we had to whip off our hei-t fux just as there was
every chance of a good gallop. But of lhi-> cotitntciiijis
tnore lower down. Though thi-eatening in the early
inorniny, the weather wa? lovely by the time we reached
D(ii;incrslield, where Sir Henry Mildmay and ih>^ Major
olVered a hearty welcome to all aiid sundry on this, the Krst
meet of the season, at the House. Foxes are reported
plentiful and of the light soit, ond, after imbibing a trifle
of jumping powder, we follow Charles to Coxnioor with
pleasurable anticipations.

We do not have to wait Ijng before a holloa tells us what
we want to know, and the question of the hour is, where will
he break ? for, judging fioni reports, he is an old one.
According to the wind he may take the old Hue to Crook-
liaiii, but then, with so many fuotpeople ab ut, there is no
i-aying how many times lu' iiLiy j,'Pt hi.uled. A trurn round
(loxmoor ?ettles the (|uesticiii, and lie pushes out^ at the top
end next the park, runs through Uaie Warren, aiul acro.ss
the open to Varndells, hounds goinj- well. Threading Varn-
(lei's without a stop, beset his mask fin- Hansden C(unmnn,
and we tiattev ourselves we are in for a gallop, for honn<ls
are going fast, and we may be in for a good thing in the
H.H. country, when, to our amazement, the pack is stopped.
What on earth is Charles up to V And soon the miserable
story pa ses from lip to lip. \Ve are on forbidden ground,
the owner of which has, for some recondite ii ason, declined
to permit Mr. CJarth's, and, I believe, the H.H., too, to
hunt any hiDger over his properly. Well, whatever be his|
rerson, he has the satisfaction (?) of knowing that lie spoilt
what looked like being a good thing. ISIore's the pity that
I should have to record it.

Trotting back to the lower side of Coxnioor another fox
was soon on fi ot, and we hunteil him slowly in the direc-
tion of the PilcotRo^d, losing him close to the canal-bridge.
Not being able to hit hiui ott'in a cover or. the right-hand
fide of ihe canal, Charles crossed over into the Park, and
diew the Arch Plantation. Here he got on to what I believe
was the hunted animal, who, running the cover along the'
canal bank for some di-tance, swam across and looked like
heading for Winchfield. It was very pretty to see hounds
pick u)) the line, and take it full cry iqi a sliibhie lield,
then through a gap into a newly-sown pii ce of wheat
for about lifly yaids, where they threw up their
heads. Major Mildmay an<l a coii|de of otll^r horsemen
being the only ones up, all the lest being on the
other side of "the canal and galloping their hardest
for a bridge. Presently one old hound comes rip lit hack to
the gap in the fence, casts about a bit, and bite the line off
in capital style, taking it straight up the hedge -side
.and into the n iddle of the " field," who had just come np.
Now it looks like Odiham "Woods. But no. He turns,
this very curly cub, swims the canal once again, and a
holloa from the park proclaims that he basset his head for
home. Away we go over the undulating turfy expanse, and,
to cut the story short, run into him, after fonic more twists
and turns, in the shrubberies around the house.

Having duly wetted the kill, we follow Charles round the
Park 'Wall, and then, bidding good-bye to the Park, take to
the road and pay a visit to Totters Copse, some distance
away. Neither Totters nor another little cover close by
hold a tenant, and our next journey is to Do";tails and
Moonlight Gorse, where Messrs. Kciinaid and Illiugworth
are known to have foxes. Dogtails is no go, but we are
sure of the gorse. A long wait, duiing which Mr. Carth
has much ado to keep foot people from posting themselves
where they are certain toh>ad a fox if he does break ; and
then a cut comts out and has a look lound, but, not liking
the situation, goes in again. Another wait, and then a
whisper goes round. There he is, an old 'un, too. Tally
ho! (ione .awa\ ! He's across the lane now , and making
for Dipley cover. M'-. Garth conies along with half-a-dozen
hounds, and claps them on the line, while the rest of the
pack, who have gone to Taylor's hoi oa, cmue streaming
across the turnips in full cry Is he going acms- the water,
toBlickwood? No, keeping to the left, he runs through
Borough Court Copse, rouml into Dogtails, then makes a
sharj) turn, having probably been headed as he was making
fir the gorse again, and cros.ses the road into ('aptain
Owen's grounds. Here he keeps left-handed uji to a little
cover, which, being separateil from the park by spiked
railings, Mr. Garth has hounds whipiied oil', anil here ends
our sport for the day.

A very ideasant day Vnit for thesjiort-spoilingcfmivc/cwi^s
of the morning. Two tilings aii^ ■^nain. viz., that foxes
are not lacking at DogmersGeld or Murrell Green.

Tliere was a good Held out, and many familiar fa.es in it,
but we were sorrj to miss the well-known figure of that
veter. n sportsman, Mr. William Conlery, of Farlcigh Hill.
We hope that he niay speedily get the better of the indis-
position which keeps him out of the saddle. Among those
we noticed were: — Majnr and Mr. Gerald Mildmay, Mr.
Chinnock, Mr. Aithur Wallington, Mr. W. Simmonds, Mr.
and Mrs Gosliiic, Mr. W. Allfiey, (ieiicral LeirCarleton,
(ieneral Owen, Hon. WaltcrSclater-P.ooth, C'aptaiii (leaves,

FRIDAY WEEK MET at Greywell. Though unable
to be present myself, a friend has supplied the follow-
ing notes. Found in Batterwood, where at least a-
brace were on foot, and, after a ring round, ran him
down through Hangwood and Millwood, past Andwell Mill
and over the open towards Hods and Bells. As Brackley _
had had word that hounds were not wanted just yet in
these covers, Taylor w^as sent on to turn him, which he suc-
ceeded in doing. The fox then swun^ to the left, through
Andwell Moor and Mapledurwell Village, into the H.H.
country, as if for Sturts and Puddings. Before reaching
these, however, he turned a^ain, still to the left, and ran
over the open to Greywell Hill, where he took refuge in the ~
Dell. Hounds soon pushed him out of this, past the front .
of Greywell House, and rolled him over a few yards further '
on, just as he had gained the back premises, in fact. Time, -
one hour and a-quarter. Scent fairly good and hounds
working well.

Tried the Gregwell covers again and found, but had to -
give up, owing to the foiled state of the ground.

Charles then drew Hook Common, and trotted on to
Moonlight Gorse, taking a little cover on his way without _
result. ° The gorse held a tenant, who ran through Dogtails,
over the grounds of Captain Young and Mr. Charrington ,
to the Winchfield Tunue\ Here a keeper turned up, and
explained that although pleasant to see hounds at any other ""
time, there were a lot of pheasants about just now, etc.,
and so we held on to the other side of the sacred ground,
and Charles tried a cast towards Dogmersfield, then back —
to Odiham \Voods, where a fox was said to have been
Tiewed, without result. Finally he tried back towards Dog- f
tails, and then gave it up as a bad job.

WEDNESDAY.— Mtt at the Greyhound, Finchhamp-
stead, when, as usual, there was a large field out.
It was a damp soft morning, and remarkably dirty along
the roads, which have not j et recovered from the late frost.

Charles tried the Fleet cover first, and not a few were in
hopes that we might find the same fox which started us on
a memorable run on the 20th of la^t month, when thope
who stuck to houn(?s to the last found themselves within
a mile or two of Henley-on-Thames, af ^er a rattling gallop
of close on three hours. Molyneux held the horn on this
red letter day, Brackley being laid up with a bad ankle, and
handled hounds wonderfully well. We changed foxes
more than once, and the last ran us out of scent near
Bowsey Hill. I mention these main facts of a glorious and
quite exceptional day, because by some mischance my
account of the run reached you too late for your current
issue.

But to return to Wedisesday last, the Fleet was tenant-
less, and as the other covers in this neighbourhood were
"being shot over, Charles trotted across to Hogwood Shaw,
into which a fox had been viewed early that morning.
However, he was not to be found, though quite possibly a
warm hedgerow somewhere about might have held him.
-We were still in the Micawber frame of mind when

Wyvolds was reached, and after a short interval, the long-
desired music greeted our ears. Apparently his point was
Bramshill Comaaion, and so evidently thought Mr. John
Simmonds, a^ he charged down the hill, with a troop of
light cavalry after him, anxious for the lead. Bat their
efforts were thrown away, for a loon of a boy headed the
fox back with an ill timed holloa. Scent was very bad, and
hounds did not seem able to make anything of the line. In
the meantime a faint holloa from the upper end of the
cover came to Charles's ears, but by the time he got there the
fox had been gone ten minutes or more, and what with the
rough wind and lack of scent it was impassible to run him.

Matters were very slow after this until Carters Gorse was
reached. Here we found again, and, as usual, he pointed
straight for Bearwood. Scent was far from good, and in
the Park Charles was very much hampered by some of the
field, who, in their anxiety to be with hounds, overran the
line once or twice. Kunning past the house our fox went
on to the Fox Hills, then turned and cime back into the
Park, so letting up some of the field who had skirted round
the bottom end of the lake when we first entered the Park,
and on into the Coombs. Hounds hunted him slowly
through this cover and down into the fields beyond, where
he turned to the right, and was evidently bent on reaching
the gorse again, bcent was getting very bad however, and
to make matters worse a hare jumped up in front of the
pack at this puiut. When he had tbem iu hand, Charles
made a wide cast, but never touched on the line again, and
giving it up, trotted on to Kiug-sireet Gorse.

It was now quite 3 p.m , and as the gorse was in the
opposite direction to home for Hampshire folk, a great
many of us left ofl:"here. As it happens, we thusmis'^ed the
only good thing of a somewhat poor day. A friend tells lue
that they found in the gorse, and ran ovtr a good open
country, with plenty of fencing, to bill Hill, thence to
Broad Common and Haines Hill, finishing up at White
Waltham. Time about one hour au*d a-quarter, a good
hunting run, slow at times, especially over the plough, but
scent fairly good. WiLDMOOR.
