dug out and liberated. and another excit-
ing chase followed. This was kept up for
probably two hours, and the fox was again
run in" No ATTEMPT was made to dig
him out a second time. 1t being decided

fresh fox. A hot scent was soon struck
and the dogs quickly packed behind fox

nearly three hours, but just about dark
he decided he had had enough, and ran
into his den. The huntsmen concluded

for one day. and, after partaking Of re-
freshments they separated. with the un-
derstanding that there will be another
hunt within the next few days.
