5P0M77. 4 1C INI7I . .LICINCE Fltois hoLDERNEss, We have bad most cacellelit sport these two di)/ past with Sir Nt.iM. Sykes's and Mr. Watts's lox ',mild., vie. Monday cud Tuesday. the 14h and 13th. On 11411144 y two, if lint three. horses died fiom excess of fatigue, after three runs. two of them severe; sad veetentiit, Tawdry, we had one of the brunt extraordinary runs three hounds have ever known. We had a good run from Burtcm Con stable; and killed, after a sharpish business of six or ..!Yeii miles. We afterwards tried two covers, itiinot ; but at last had a beautiful nod at Itinhorotiglr, near Aldborough, and went away twmt gallontly, on the highest-seeutingday we have bud this avvison. At first the foe took to the itorthward, anti after wards tonne a c ., rcle, null then took.off to near Bur ton l'idses, and across Keyait ! ..,lntan Drain to thils -I;am, ottringliam Church Lands, and to Wine to...ol. without at cheek, where we were obliged to g i ve at tap, at near five o'clock, in Colonel Meister's plmataitioaas. We had three or fort fellows to crow b e fw e we got to the road, the dogs colder not get fast e.'ws. them, and the scent was then be= conic cnlalisla, and it was tting dark, so that Mr called the hounds off. There iret :lore fiAcS in floldernewi tha.a ever were resuetabered.— You anaa camjecture there were not many of the fla•ld with the hounds When they got to lialslarm, nor natal tia• Y l ove up ; several atere tired, and the bounds a gmat distance from their kennel. The Nun: his been aeconsamilied by a very large anew blage of gentlemen sportsmen from every part of the neiglahow hood ; and we learn that some da t a ant lens than inn horsemen have taken the held. Cotantee..—All the Meetings in the South dif fer from the Talton Meeting in running for their prize cup. In the South, each Membe r subscribes to it, and if present, starts a dog, which are drawl, by lot to run against each other, two sad twon the steal day, the winners of the preceding day run against each other, till all the Jo k e are run oft; and kettly, the two Wieners of the whole start for the cup. An interest, is thus kept alive through the whole Meeting; the best dog is fairly aecertuineal, and not more than a brace of dogs are started at /ew e , whi c h renders the course a proper trial, whieh cannot be the rase when the or site greyhounds are Tanning together after one unfortunate hare. MISS SMITH. The performances at the Dublin Theatre, on Sa turday were Adrian FortUse . s Frobck. In the former of which Miss SWIM per.onated Madame Clermont.
