SPORTING INTELLIGINCE. —WILLIAM BAR-
N A RD, Esq. of Minefield, having disposed of part
of his unrivalled pack of harriers to VaaMox DOL-
PHIN, Esq. the Cotswold Gentlemen may reason-
ably anticipate finer sport than usual, in the pre-
sent hunting season. We nuclei-stand that fifteen
pounds a couple were given for these crack dogs.
It will, however, be consolatory to the sporting
gentlemen its the vicinity of this city to learn that
Mr. BARNARD intends to hunt this season as usual,
and that he hus yet such a pack of harriers as are
to be matched only in few districts.—(Gloncester

and same effused blood, were removed, but aithout
