Excerpt from Hunting Tours, Vol. 2 of 2: Interspersed With Characteristic Anecdotes, Sayings and Doings of Sporting Men, Including Notices of the Principal Crack Riders of England, With Analytical Contents and General Index of Names, to Which Are Added Nimrod's Letters on Riding to Hounds

On Thursday the 15th met the Warwickshire at Ufton \vood. The covert being central, we had a very large field but, what is rare, we drew it blank. We found again in Itchington Heath, which never fails, and killed without much sport. He was so pressed by the pace whilst he was on foot, that when he got into Chesterton Wood, he was afraid to leave it again, and thus lost his life in covert. We had what Mr. Hay calls his small pack on this day chiefly bitches, and those hounds which he brought into Warwickshire - and I never saw hounds run closer together than in this short but decisive burst.
