Carlow Harriers
Saturday, 4th instant. –
These hounds met at Coone not in the above
capacity but as foxhounds. Through the kind permission of Mr.
Laugrishe, M.F.H., they have been granted leave to draw the Kilkenny
coverts north of the Dinan. Punctual to time, notwithstanding a wet
morning, which is an often told tale during the present season, Mr.
Briscoe led the way to Eskerty Wood, tried the covert on the left hand
side of the road first, which proved blank, but hounds were not long
on the other side ‘til we heard the reassuring notes which make a
man’s heart beat faster, and were echoed by Hudson, who viewed two
"furry" specimens stealing towards the lower end.
The wood is very
dense, and the Master had some difficulty in getting through, with the
unfortunate result that the hounds dividing settled on two foxes, one
breaking on the far side and running up the hill and on to Coone at a
good pace, where they put him to ground – attended by a select few who
had the best of it – a good pace, where they put him to ground –
attended by a select few who had the best of it – a good three-mile
point. Five and-a-half couple of hounds in the meantime pushed their
fox out at the lower end, and went away as if for Coolcullen with the
heavy brigade, across the road and along by the river, over a trappy
country, and was soon lost, but not before I saw several empty
saddles. Glen Mullen was now the order – a very picturesque spot with
a typical name.
The pack was not long thrown in when we heard the welking ring ; this time it proved to be a hare, for Capt. Briscoe can
suit himself to any emergency, and will hunt anything that wears
"fur," so long as it makes sport. Going away by the rock colliery, she
swung to the left over a heavy country with a succession of fences
like mountains and doubles at that, passed at the back of Coolbawn and
on to Gurteen, across the road and down the hill to the Castleconner
road, where we left "puss" for the night, the Master and Mrs. Briscoe
refusing the proffered hospitality of the barbarous people for
themselves and the pack, and had a long, wet jog of ten miles home.
Amongst those out were Capt. And Mrs. Briscoe, Mr. R.H.
Prior-Wandesforde, Mayor Bryan, Messrs. Swifte, Wm. Edge,
Butler-Kearney, Herbert Warren, Wm. Dobbs, S. Dobbs, Miss Draper, Dr.
Sterling, Miss Sterling and party, Mr. Mandeville, Mr. Murphy.
P. Neumatic.

1st December, 1897
A Good Day With The Carlow Harriers.
On Thursday the meet was at Prumplestown cross roads, where, despite
the rather threatening aspect of the morning, a good-sized field met
the Master and were rewarded by capital sport. Germaine’s gorse,
strange to say, did not hold the needful, so we faced for Barn Hill
and found. Puss led at a smart pace up the hill, and after a circuit
esfcap4d. The rocks on Mr. Rice’s land were next appealed to, and
furnished material for a good twenty minutes’ gallop, over stiff
country thickly dotted with big banks.
On reaching Mr. Green’s at
Millbrook, we lost our game, but another hare filled the gap, and
having afforded a good circular spin, narrowly escaped to run some
other day. "Shades of evening" told us it was time to make for home,
and we obeyed their bidding. Amongst those well in the running besides
the Master, Capt. Briscoe, were Lord Garnioc, Mr. E.S. Maffett. Miss
Johnson, Miss Shackleton, the Misses Boake, Mr. V. Slocock, Mr. Brown,
Mr. Germaine, Mr. C. Casey Mr. Lawler, &c.
