Mr. Rusliout, he was capping on one couple of liis hounds wliich alone Avere left out of his pack. The Warwicksliire ran on l)y Paxford, Blakemore Covert, and over the river Stour near Aston, and thence nearly to Moretou-in-Marsh, where they turned to the riglit and ran into the? laurels in the garden at Seziugcote House close to the fox, but never hit his line off again, although ho cannot have been far off. This very fine run was thirteen miles as the crow flies, and oidy the master, Mr. Green, Mr. George Smith, of Weston Sands, the second whip, and C. Mordaunt saw the finish. The first forty-five minutes was without a check, and the entire run was two hours and ten minutes. Mr. George Smith's diary also contains an account of tliis great run. Cletting up the Hill at Mickleton, after crossing the Vale, must have been something like GOING UP BKAILES HILL. , «t« W'*^'*'^^' // // % t.
