sidersble expense. The entertainments of the
evening consisted, as heretofore, of singing, reci-
tation, and music ; and the selection, on this occa-
sion, is deserving of the highest praise. The room
was must respectably attended, and Miss MACAU-
LET was warmly greeted on her entre. An opening

vered with great feeling, was loudly applauded.

men returned to Sturdy's Castle, ultra a very fine buck, pre-
sented iis the most handsome manner by his Gruce the Duke
of Marlborough to the masters of the harriess, was started
from thence. He took Ms course towards Wootton; being
headed, he turned to the right fur Tackley Wood, and pur-
sued his course towards Gibraltar ; but being again headed,
he turned to the left through Lady Gardiner's enclosures and
the parish of Teckley,over tho fields to the richt, cruestog the
canal up to Kirtlingtoo Park, the seat of Sir Henry Dash-
wood. Here-three-fourths of the horsemen were thrown out.
Hence the buck proceeded towards Northbrook, in • hue fur
Caleut ; but being headed, he turned to the right and leaped
ore, the wall into Lord Jersey's park at Middleton, where he
was viewed through the plantations and across the park. He
again teaped,over the wall on the opposite side, made away
towards thscknell,and was taken unhurt, after a rust of two
hours and a half, about three miles beyond Flimsier. A finer
chase was never wituessed. Out of about 150 horsemen that
started, not more than 13 or 14 were in at the taking of the
deer. Many gentlemen of the first fua.kunting celebrity
were In the field.

wick Hall, where be was taken after one of the beat runs
ever remembered in the sporting annals of Norfolk, of one

upwards of 14 aides and the chase was competed at 20.
