Had it been too much disturbed of late ? But in some gorse at Cow Bottom Farm a stout fox was forthcom- ing, and, having used every endeavour to shake off the hunt amongst the intricacies of Bletch- ley, set his head for Salden. Found a substitute in Lord Orkney's coverts, and the hunt went on to Muresley and The Potash before he, too, evaded pur suit. Returning to Villiers Gorse they found again, ran by Salden to the Whaddon Woodlands, but, eschewing their slielter, passed them on the right, and, threading Narberries to Little Horwood Park, nearly reached Rodimore ere they doubled back into the Whaddon country. Decidedly a good day. Yorkshire. — Though there has not been any great run, such as goes to the making of hunting his- tory, during the first few weeks of the season, there has been an ex- cellent average of sport up to the stoppage which the frost caused on the nth of last month, and really bad scenting days have been few and far between. Day after day, all over the country, hounds have had good hunting runs, with occasional bursts, the severity of the pace in which has satisfied even the man — and he is bad to satisfy — Buy Norethindrone Acetate whose estimate of every run is guided by the speed at which he gallops. It is difti- cult, when one good day succeeds another and when they are pretty nearly on a level, to make a selec- tion which shall please those who have joined in the fun, and per- haps the best policy is to give an account of a few typical days, without weighing the merits up to a nicety. The Bramham Moor. — Bram- ham Moor has been showing good sport of late, and two good runs from that famous covert, Hatton Thorns, certainly deserve a chro- nicle. The first of these took place on Friday, November 17th. when a thick fog was accompanied by a strong white frost — the first foretaste we have had of winter. The fixture was Weighill Park, but the morning's work does not call for notice. The afternoon £oz was found in Hutton Thorns, and seemed reluctant to leave the cov- ert, for it was fully forty minutes before he was holloaed away. Scent, which had been bad in covert, showed a marvellous im- provement when hounds were once out in the open. They ran at a capital pace over the Rufibrth Road, and crossing the Marstoa drain, which, as usual, held mea and horses, they raced over Mar- ston Moor, and crossed the Attar- with Lane to Wilstrop Wood. Through the wood they ran with- out a check, and, turning left- handed, pointed for Skewkirk, and then swinging still more to the left they left Tockwith village on the right, and checked at the end of twenty -seven minutes. They were soon going again, but at a slower pace, and they hunted on over the Tockwith Lane and over Marston Hill, where they checked again and where they probably changed. They Norethindrone Acetate Tablets ran oi nicely nearly to White Sifc Whin, and then turned to th right, crossing Moor Lane an hunting round Marston village t within a field of Hutton Thomj where they lost the fox. It wa a good hunting run of an hour the pace excellent up to the checi at Tockwith town end. More satisfactory was the secon run from Hutton Thorns, whid took place a fortnight later. Th fixture was Tockwith, and ther igooj 'OUR VAN. 67 was a sharp burst of ten minutes from Swales Rash to the Borough- bridge Road to b^n with, fol- lowed by some pretty hunting over the sticky ploughs down to the Nidd, where the fox was given up, as he had crossed the river. Again was Hutton Thorns the starting place of the afternoon run. Hounds ran fast up to Ruf- forth, where the fox made a sharp turn to the left and crossed the Rufforth Road into Rufforth Hail Gardens. Then came a flock of sheep, who, of course, caused trouble, but hounds worked nicely through them, and hunted on over the Atterwith Lane to with- in a couple of fields of Welstrop Wood. Here they checked, and there was any amount of holloa- ing, but Smith kept hounds' heads down, and they worked well through their difficulties. They tamed to the left and ran on, leaving White Sike Whin to the left, over the Tockwith lane. The fox was constantly viewed, and there was some vociferous holloaing, but Smith would have Bone of it, and hounds kept hunting on nicely. They ran over Marston Hill and through a comer of Mar- ston Whin, and then came a check at a critical moment. Smith was patience itself, and his hounds working for him to perfection, they hit off the line in a few minntes, and hunted nicely down to Marston village. Hem they I checked at some farm buildings, and there were all kinds of ru- .rooars as to the fox having gone forward. Smith, however, took little notice of rumours, and having qokkly made the ground good for- ward, cast his hounds round the bnn buildings, where they hit him oflF, and finally killed him in the garden. It. was a beautiful banting run of one hour and fifteen minutes — ^indeed, it was hunting seen to perfection. The Topk and Ainsty. — The York and Ainsty Thursday country has not of late years furnished that sport which was wont to be asso- ciated with it thirty years or more ago, but it seems by no means un- likely that there will be once more a great historic run from it before the season ends, whilst there have already been some excellent gal- lops in the neighbourhood of Rib- ston and Allerton. The best day they have had on this side of the country was on Thursday, Novem- ber 23rd, when the fixture was Allerton Park. The morning be- gan with a fast gallop from Broad- field, through the Dale and up to the hilltop, to the left of Oustburn Workhouse, where they checked, and after hunting on for other ten minutes, they were run out of scent. Then they had a nice forty minutes from Grassgills by Mar- ton and Grafton to Low Duns- forth, where the fox got amongst the cottages, and his life was saved by some information which put hounds on to a fresh fox which had been gone some time. The run came late in the day from Ribston Wood. At first the fox hung to the covert, and, when he did break, hounds only hunted slowly down to Cattal Belt. Then
