FOXES PLENTIFUL.

The hunt on Saturday morning provided excellent sport, foxes  being
plentiful. A rousing hunt followed and resulted in two kills, the first at  Cass How
Wood. Then the hounds went off at a rattling pace to Strawberry Howe,  
Cockermouth, where the fox holed, but was dug out and dispatched.

Comment was made on the excellent conditions of the hounds, this making  
their thirteenth kill of the season. The hungry hunters afterwards returned to  
the Horse Shoe Inn where Mrs. BENTON served excellent tatie-pot.
