TURF ROOMS BAZAAR, FE8.16.

Though the attendance was not quite so numerous u on most
days, the betting was very sharp, particularly on the Derby, in
which some slight alterations have taken place. Very little busi.
ness was done on the Oaks while for the St. Leger the only horse
noticed was Humphrey Clinker, a colt of Earl Fitzwißiam's,
brought up for the first time. _ _

The Earl of Derby's stag hounds will meet to-morrow, at Gibbet
Green, one mile from Croydon.
THE CHELTENHAM HAREIERS.—These harriers have been
given by Dr. Townsend to the Members of the Cheltenham Hunt.
It is now a subscription pack, and under the exclusive direction of
a Committee of Gentlemen, to whom it is but justice to state, that
their first resolution was that of sending all the hares that may be
killed to the occupiers of farms on which they may be hunted. Up.
wards of forty gentlemen are already subscribers. Their first din-
ner was held on Tuesday, at the Plough Hotel, and was most
numerously attended. Lord Ducally was in the chair, and General
Molyneux, Vice-President.
FOX-CHASE EXTIILAORDWART.—On Tuesday last the [We
demean fox-hounds met at Bessingby Whin, and, in a short time,
broke cover, attended by a numerous field of horsemen, &c. The
fox took a direction for Bridlington, and, passing the Subscription
Mills, followed the course of the mid to the Quay, until he came
to Mr. Wetwan's water-mill, where, crossing by the bridge, it was
conjectured he was making for Flamborough. A small terrier dog
accidentally met him, and rut him on a fresh tack. He then en-
tered the garden, and, from the garden, the house of Captain R.
Lowrey, of the Quay, where, endeavouring to elude pursuit, he
secreted himself under the chairs and other furniture ; but, alas!
the cruel eye of some of the sportsmen speedily discovered his re.
treat, when he made a bolt smash through the window in greater
speed than ever. Unfortunately, however, Reynard no sooner got,
free from one danger than he fell into another and a greater, for be
this time the pack had reached the spot, and he was despatched
within a few yards of the house, in the presence of numerous
sportsmen.
