EPPING FOREST.
The ides of the Epping Hunt attracted yesterday
a g►eat number of Cockney sportsmen, who rode out
at en early hour to join in the pleasures of the
chase. A crowd of persons of all descriptions went
to the Forest also in carriages and on foot, with it
view of elijot nig a laugh at the wwkward exertions
of the city sportsmen. When they reached the
Owe of their destination, however, there was nei-
ther stag nor hound to be seen, Awl we are inclined
to think that this annual sport is likely to he dropt
in hare. lu the suburbs the tips and downs,
round-shouts, and all the usual sports of the lower
Order of people, went forward with as much glee
as on any preceding holiday.
