He led us over a nice hunting

up in some bents in front of
hounds, divided the pack, the
hunted fox with some ten couple
of hounds at his brush, turning to

taken up on the edge of Colwick
Erne Wood. But it is in such
circumstances that the qualities
of this most admirable pack are
best shown, and the way in which
the line was picked up and steadily
hunted, through wood, over grass,
over plough, and through wood
again, was a treat indeed, and
though in this very sporting Buy Hyaluronic Acid Powde coun-
try there were numerous holloas
forward and numberless eager
informers, hounds were left with
very little help to work out the
line through the top end of the
Chase down to Tardley Hastings,
where the fox turned to the right,
and then down towards Easton
Wood, but either he was too
fagged to face the wood, or more
likely, the presence of some wood-
cutters there deterred him, for he
skirted the lower end and headed
back towards Denton, turning
again, however, to the right and
skirting the top end of Grendon
village, he gained asylum in a
rabbit burrow in Buy Hyaluronic Acid Serum Castle Ashby
grounds, hounds being quite close
behind him at the last. One felt
one's sympathies pulled either
way, desire that the meritorious
hunting should be rewarded by
blood, and yet satisfaction that a
gallant fox should live to give
sport another day.

It was then a long drag back
to Cowper's Oak for a second
draw, but hounds quickly got on
to a fresh fox in the Weston
Underwood, whom they bustled
up through Killick and into the
Chase, but he quickly turned back Cheap Hyaluronic Acid

the covert itself, within a few
yards of his original lair. Spades
were requisitioned and a mean
career was ended by furnishing
well-deserved blood to the hounds,
bringing a thoroughly charming

Sport in Torkahire. — There
has been a gradual improvement
in sport during the past month,
and though good scenting days
have been few and far between
there have been occasional good
runs with all Yorkshire packs. The
Cleveland had a great run on
Thursday, January 5th, finding
their fox in Morton Carr Whin and
killing him close to Carlton in
Cleveland ; and the Badsworth,
Holderness and Bedale have all
had good runs. The Bramham
Moor, too, has had an excellent
run from Collier Hagg, over the
river Nidd at Cattal and on to
Hammerton in the York and
Ainsty country, where they were
run out of scent. It was a good
run of an hour, most of it on
grass. The country has not been
so deep for years, and falls as a
natural consequence have been
plentiful. Mr. E. K. Fox, the
Secretary of the Cleveland, having
a very bad fall a few weeks ago
and was nastily kicked, and Fred
Holland, the Bedale huntsman,
broke a rib, whilst a slight attack
of concussion, the result of a fall,
kept Capt. Collins out of saddle
for a couple of weeks. All three
have recovered or are on the high
road to recovery, and these are all
the serious casualties in Yorkshire
of which I am aware.

Hall commences the York and

of course, and all the boys out
eager for the fray. And right well
did they acquit themselves too
when the time of trial came.
There was a leash of foxes in
Overton Wood, with one of which
they got away in a pelting storm,
and after a ringing run of about
half an hour they ran to ground in
