Saturday, 1st March, was, however, a red-letter day. Kilmacolm was the meet, and after a very fast twenty-five minutes from Knockmountain the hounds were stopped when making for Greenock Moor. The afternoon fox was found in Wraes, and running by Cleaves, Botherickfield and Ennelly, hounds crossed Napps Muir to go right through Duchal and away from here over Slates Hill. This fine run was continued by Bardrainy and Midhill to Finlaystone, and at the end of one and a half hours the fox was lost just above Langbank.

Another fox was killed near Muirshields after a brief spin from Hammerscraig Rocks. On 26th March, with Bishopton as the rendezvous, followers were treated to a fine day's sport.
