Like the hunt immediately preceding, the eleventh hunt was all over and done within about half an hour. Tt was a mad gallop from start to finish, not because checks were not laid, but, by reason of the fact that the course is one so well known, and, indeed, was used recently as ea Christmas Eve. The result was that several excellent checks did no more than cause half a dozen to run off paper, but had no effect upon the main body of the hunt.
The trail was laid by Mr. A. W. Burkill and began at the south side of the Long Village, led over several nice jumps, then left to a platform, and after two more platforms, the hunt entered upon the Inner Rubicon Line, which traversed several] good jumps and ended at the Moleskin Wade. Here several riders overshot the paper in the usual way at this point. Then came the Yellow Josshouse line of jumps, followed by the Diagonal Wade and a brisk rum across country to the neighbourhood of No. 8 Bridge. The Old Wade was laid instead of the stone bridge, and then came a long run to Sparke's Pit, whence the hunt passed to Pearce's Elbow and the Pawnshop Wade.
From the Pawnshop, there was 2 long run home down the Blasted Trees line, and the Hound line te the finish close to where the hunt had begun. Mr J.C. Botelho, on
