No question concerning that gentleman's abilities as huntsman had arisen ; so far as the published correspondence shows, the " in- sult " lay in asking Mr. Sadler to relinquish the horn in order that a desirable economy might be effected. Mr. Cowley Lambert, failing to obtain a reply to a most conciliatory letter, and Mr. Sadler declining the invitation of the chairman of the hunt committee to Etoricoxib 60 Mg meet that body and explain his action, Mr. Cowley Lambert took the only course open to him in the interests of sport and with- drew his offer to take the master- ship. At the last meeting of the committee (of which, by the way, Mr. Alfred Sadler is a member), Captain Ramsden, the chairman, and Mr. Heatley, the treasure, resigned office.

The Opening of the Hunting Season in Yorkshire. — After an exceptionally successful cub-hont- ing season the regular hunting season in Yorkshire has had an excellent send-off, and we have to look back at least half-a-dozen years for such a bright prospect as there is for the last hunting season of the century. Foxes are numerous in almost every country: indeed, with one exception, there is a better show of foxes than even the oldest inhabitant can re- member. Then, hounds have been taught their business well ; the good supply of foxes enabled them to be well blooded, and though the cub-hunting season was not characterised by many brilliant scenting days, yet hounds were always able to keep the foxes on the Buy Etoricoxib move, and they never had long Etoricoxib Tablets to draw for a fox ; and these are important factors in the making of young hounds. Then the weather has, on the whole, been season- able. Though the ground was undoubtedly hard in October, rain kept falling every now and again, and it Etoricoxib Msd was never too hard for hounds, whilst the heavy rains in the latter end of the month and in dirty, dark November have made f 900.] "OUR VAN. »i 451 the ground deep indeed, and also, in some measure, contributed to the good scent which has pre- ^railed. "A dirty November for sport " is a Yorkshire hunting- man's maxim. The York and Abtsty.— The York and Ainsty commenced the season on Thursday, November xst, at Kirk Hammer ton Hall. The morning was fine ; it was about the only really fine morning we bave had in November, and the muster was a large one. The morning's sport was somewhat Arcoxia Etoricoxib Msd beaten. York and Ainsty Tuesdays have been of the old-fashioned sort. On the 6th they met at Askham Bryan, and had a brilliant run. After drawing Askham Whin blank, they found in Rufforth Whin, and raced at top pace over the grass behind the village, and nearly to Hutton Thorns, where they turned right-handed over the Marston road to Wilstrop Wood, which they reached in twenty-one minutes. They ran on more slowly, but at a useful holding pace, to the Boroughbridge road, where they checked and ulti- i mately lost their fox. They killed a cub in Red House Wood, and VOL, Lxxiv. — NO. 490. ran another smartly from the same covert to Rufforth Whin, where scent failed, owing, no doubt, to the heavy rain which was falling. On the 13th they met at Ash- field, and found at once in Ask- ham Bogs. After a little ring- round at the west side of the covert, they ran through it, and ran at a very good pace over the Tadcaster road and nearly to Bishopthorpe. Turning to the right, they ran to Copmanthorpe, and thence, with a left-hand turn, to Acaster Malbis, where they ran into their fox in the open, twenty- two minutes after leaving Askham Bogs the second time. Scent changed for the worse when they went to Colton Hogg for their afternoon fox, and they could only hunt slowly with frequent checks, and more than either one or two changes. They twisted about by Askham Bogs, where a good deal of time was spent, Copmanthorpe, and Dringhouses, and finally they lost their fox in Mr. Lycett Green's New Gorse at Ashfield. The Bramham Moor. — Mon- day, November 5th, was the Bramham Moor opening day ; the fixture, as usual, Bramham Park, where, though the morning was foggy and Etoricoxib Arcoxia rain threatened, there was the usual crowd. The morn- ing's sport was not very interest- ing ; scent was bad, Etoricoxib Fda and the light was worse, so that one could not see the excellent hound work. Twenty minutes amongst the Lindrick Hills and to ground, and an hour in Westwoods and to ground, made up the morning's work. They found again in the Oakwood at Wetherby Grange, but could only hunt across to Wray Wood, where they lost all trace of the fox. The afternoon fox from Oglethorpe Whin did better. They ran him very smartly over the open, first pointing for Toul- 32 452 baily's magazine.
