THE PYTCHLEY (WOODLAND).

“DEATH OF THE FOX”

THE WOODLAND PYTCHLEY.

Earl Spencer used to hunt the Woodland pack himself, with TOM GODDARD as first whip. When MR. HERBERT LANGHAM took the “Pytchley,” in 1878, it was arranged that the woodland country should, under the title of the “North Pytchley,” be hunted by a separate pack of Hounds. MR. WATSON, of Rockingham Castle, took the mastership, and retained it for two years. MR. PENNEL ELMHIRST then took it. LORD LONSDALE was the next master, and at one time had seventy horses of one colour, chestnut, in his stables. LORD LONSDALE resigned after his third season, and the hounds were taken by MR. MCKENZIE, late master of the “Old Berkeley.”
