THE Qronw 11r:cr.—Respecting the new ar-
rangement for the hunting of the Quorn country, the sport-
ing correspondent of the Leicester Journal writes in that
paper of yesterday : " The arrangement made with
the Marquis of Hastings to hunt the country,
which was, we believe, confirmed at the meeting
convened for that purpose on Saturday last, at St. James's
Hotel, in London, will be hailed with much satisfaction

as the settling of a difficulty which once appeared formi-
&Lie and threatened to end in the cutting up of the finest I
tract of hunting country in the kingdom. His lordship
has always been a keen follower of the sport, and main-
tained his place well in the front, and the addition of the
horn at his saddle bows is not likely to decrease his vigour.
With much foresight he secured the ' cream' of the Quorn
pack, to which he has since added some of the best blood
in Mr. Drake's pack, and has now got fifty-two couples of
hounds that are quite capable of sustaining the reputation
of the Quorn. It is not definitely settled where the hounds
will be kept, but they will stand at Quorn, and there
seems to be no better spot apart from its associations,
and it is to be hoped that an arrangement will be come
to by which the horses anti hounds may remain there.
There are several names mentioned for huntsman, but
there is little doubt that the marquis will appoint a man
who has some knowledge of the country, and who is well
up at his business. Hunting men, who have been waver-
ing during the time the question has remained on the
Lapis, will now be able to conclude their arrangements for
next season, and we wish the noble master every success
in what must amongst sportsmen always be an enviable
position, viz., the mastership of a pack so widely known
and celebrated as the Quorn.'
