No one will deny that with a

Mr. Butt Miller is a good hunts-
man and shows sport of the best.
Mr. Hooper Deacon has also
been so long a consistent supporter
of hunting, and has given the help
of a geeat local popularity, with
the enect that there is much less
wire and many more foxes than
there were a few years ago. Al-
together this delightful country
promises to be as attractive to
sportsmen as ever.
The Wapwickshipe.— Plenty of
foxes in Shuckbrough is always
good for future prospects, and on
Thursday, November ist, the
sound of the horse and the hounds
sent them scattering in all direc-
tions. A leash were soon ac-
counted for. Hounds were taken
to a holloa and ran brilliantly to
Helidon. These seventeen minutes
were very sharp, and Mr. Freake
had the best of it all the way, and
was the first, though not the last,
to tackle a very nasty fence, a
combination of wire netting and
timber, with a brook on the far
side that might well daunt even a
good man on a bold horse. This
was one of those bright little bursts
which marked the close of cub-
hunting almost everywhere. Those
packs which began the regular
season in the first week in Novem-
ber had for the most part better
opening days than those that
waited for a week later.
The Pytohley had their first
full dress Wednesday on Novem-
ber 7th at North Kilworth. The
sticks had plenty of foxes, but Buy Theophylline
whatever direction they tried
there was always a man with or
without a dog, and hope was
turned into disappointment. So
the day wore on till nearly every-
body had gone home, and then
there was a gallop of about
twenty minutes from Misterton
Reeds to the other side of GO-
morton . Let me gi ve t heir names:
Mr. C. Mills, Mr. Broughton
Leigh, Captain Renton, Mr. Pow-
lett, and the master. These had
the experience of a run over
a beautiful line, the Pytchl^
hounds running in front, and no
crowd at all, after the first few
fields no wire, and one of them at
least rode as if no such thing
existed. Those who "were there
will not soon forget Order Theophylline the first
Pytchley Wednesday of 1900,
nor the truth, more true of hunt-
ing than any other case, that
" everything comes to him who
waits."
The Badminton. — The Duke
was hunting his dog pack in the
Devizes country on November ist
It was not until an afternoon fox
was found in Rounda^vay Park
that much was done. The fox
went straight to the Downs, and
probably by doing so gave us the
chance Purchase Theophylline Online of a run. Scent was much
more holding, though it could
never at any time be said to be
first-rate. The line was a circular
one, the best pace being* up over
the Downs almost to Calstone,
after which the fox swung sharp
to the right, and ran dow^n to the
Devizes road. Hounds checked. Purchase Theophylline
The Duke made a very good cast
over the road and hit the line
again. The fox was now some
way ahead, and after this it was
slow hunting. These hounds
never leave a scent so long as
there is a shade of a line, and
they held on till darkness came
down.
The Bioestep Hounds. — A
capital autumn's work amongst
the cubs ended with an excellent
run from Bourton Brake on No-
vember 5th. The meet had been
held at Gawcott, and the earlier
portion of the morning was spent
in the Tingewick and Gawcott
Woods, until at length hounds.

Nich oils' farm above Bucking-
ham. Going on to Bourton
Brake, Cox found a traveller at
once, and crossing the Ouse into
Grafton territory, the pack drove
fonwrard resolutely to Leck-
hampstead and Wicken Wood.
Taking their fox through this
stronghold, hounds reached the
vast fastnesses of Wakefield and
killed him in the lake in front of
the Duke of Grafton's house, a
peculiar feature of the event being
the fact that one hound dived and
brought the carcase to the surface.
November 12th found them at
Steeple Claydon, and finding at
Eustace's Gorse, they worked out
a nice hunting run by Verney
Junction to Generic Theophylline Mount Pleasant, and
finally lost their fox in the Whad-
don country between Pad bury and
the Lone Tree. From Hillesden
New Covert they took a fox at a
rare pace by Claydon Plank and
King's Bridge to Eustace's, end-
ing their day at Adstock in the
Whaddon country.
The Whaddon Chase. — The
season opened auspiciously in the
Whaddon country, the first day
being November 6th, from Hog-
geston Guide Post. Finding at
Creslow, hounds ran fast over the
Great Grounds to Hurdlesgrove,
and having passed between Whit-
church and Holborn Hill, sank
into the valley to Hardwick. Com-
ing to slower hunting, they worked
on to the Blackgrove Double, and
a good fox finally beat them at
Pitchcott. Finding again at
Creslow, they ran on over a nice
line to Hoggeston before their fox
also beat them. Hurt well Hill
was then the order, and in
the osier bed they tasted first
blood, a very fast gallop finish-
ing the day from the osier bed
on Order Theophylline Online the Cublington side of Cres-
low to ground in a drain at
Mr. John Hedges' farm at Tinkers-
hole, from which a brace were
killed.
The Puckeridge. — The season
has begun well. On the opening
day the going was a little heavy,
but scent was good, and after
running their fox for an hour and
a quarter, hounds killed at Arkes-
den. Wednesday, the 7th, saw
good sport, the best of the day
being a capital twenty minutes,
ending in a kill at Hargreaves.
Mr. Armitage, of Thorley, we
regret to hear, had a bad fall,
which resulted in serious and
painful injuries to his right elbow.
The following Wednesday, the
14th, another good gallop from
Elsenham was in store, with a
kill close to Thremball Priory.
Thanks to the energetic measures
adopted during the last two or
three seasons by the influential
hunting farmers who Buy Cheap Theophylline form the Buy Theophylline Online

mange has been fairly stamped out.
