MIXT Or Homan AT TIM BARUCH& -Quito a gay
party of equestrians, carriage people' and inhabitants
on foot, gathered at the Royal Horse Artillery
barracks on Friday morning, when the Cattistock
Hounds met on the ground in front of the officers'
mess. The weather was suitable for a lawn me t
though perhaps rather cold for the likelihood of
matt, still there was no bitter cutting wind, ..1 the
suspicion of moisture, for it waa only • suspicion, was
not unfavourable to sport. 10.45 was the time named;
but at meets is. well as town Councils the old custom
of giving a quarterolan-hour's grace is honoured, and
so plentifully did the company strum in, and so pro-
longed wee the flood of arrivals that about half-an-
hour was employed in admiring the excellent rata-,
the gallant bearing of the gentlemen, and the beauty
of the ladies. The pack of staunch and trusty dogs,
too, looked in first-rate fetch, and the Pcture
promoted on the slopes that look away to Charminster
and Poundbury woe attractive under all its plume,
and they were many, and ever shifting. Here was the
noble lord, looking as elastic and expectant aa if scores
of summers had not worn him; there was the
legislator, considerably fuller of presence, and looking
far more knowing in the ways of the world than
whes he first wooed the constituency, with him
was Mr. A. Lock, and to them came in ap-
parently earnest chat the chief magistrate that has
been, and who they say. is to be again. The gallant
captain of put of the Reserve Forces rode on with
all that verve and perennial bri‘htness that marks
the popular run ; the lauded gentlemen, the officers
of H.M. Army, the banker, the brewer, the farmer,
the landlord, all helped to represent the many
clause that in England find such excitement and
health in following the specimens of CEIHE wild or
trained, across the park, and fences, through timber,
and over streams. And the ladles! No one can do
justice to their grace and beauty; and we shall not
attempt the Impossible tank. The gay array was of
curie viewed by a large c inclurse of those who did
Dot intend to ride, but to wh on the eight at the meet,
and that of the covaliada streaming toward. Pound-
bury and Bradford, was sufficient reward. The field
was so large, and the id,cht-reers so numerou., that we
can only pick out one or two as specimens. Among
those present were - Lord Digby, Mr. and Kra. J. P.
Gawky, %V It. Brymer, Esq., M.P., Mist Beymer,
Colonel Durby, 111.jor Shakerley. Gun tykes, Esq.,

tion, where the hounds soon found their first fox, and
rattled him about. Charley, finding his hide-and-seek
tactics would not avail in the plantation, stole out
quietly on the side nearest Dorchester, where a long
fence clearly defines the woodaide by a modermely
straight line, and going up the side of the hill he
Eht gain the shelter of some ricks, leaving the
and the field .niong the trees. He was viewed
re he accomplished his crafty design and holloaed
back to the plantation, where the hounds soon mode
him again break covert, and this time he ran for the
inner spurs of the wood, which enclose to many open
parks. The field here were almost surrounded br
wood, with arms of the same dividing the clear grainy
spacee in the most picturesque style. The toad to the
lodge runs through here, and on it were numbers of
• eswith ladles aod gentlemen viewing the sport
at their eon. The !wools worked away to the wet
and north, the field following, and one empty saddle
at lest was seen, telling of • bit of rough ground. At
lentil they trailed out in • long line, Charley going
for the ROO= road, which he crossed and lay down.
He warn soon found again, and then he headed back;
but by this time he was nearly done, and after mim-
ing the Roman rood, he was overtaken in • ditch, not
far from Frampton and there kil ed. This was
enough for the morning's work, and era the afore-
nooa completed its first small hour some of the
equestrians and most of the carriages were heading
towards Dorchester, in the face of a ooldish driss *-
threatening wind, but with spirits all the higher for
the fresh pure air of Mr. Middleton's beautiful woods.
Another fox was found by thole who had persevered,
and on and about Blandon hill he was rattled about
for three quarters of an hour.
