passed fr.,M tigS# to left, and emarersed with Major
Cameron and'etery other Officer. After which, by
her Grace's desire, several favtanite Scots airs were
played on the pipes. 'l'he Duchess was attended

Shortly after, [is Grace the Lord Lieutenant,
and suite, rod: into the square, and was received
ith presented arms, and cotouis lowered. The line
then brake into open column of companies, and
passed his Grace in slow and quick time. Having
resumed their former situation, the regiment went

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

INGLEWOOD HUNT AND PENRITH RACES.

The aboveHnnt andßaces concluded on Saturday
week. The Meeting was most respeCtably attended,
and at no period since its commencement did it more
amply fulfil its original creed of "mirth and good hu-
mour,' than at the present. The sports of the field
and the course were equally interesting, and afforded
excellent amusement to tneir lespedive votaries.—
The assemblage of gentlemen was certainly greatcr
than on any former occasion, and each seemed to
vie with the other in promoting the general convi•
viality and hilarity of the meeting. The meraftrs,
with a laudable Leal. came most handsomely tot-
ward with a subscription for a new race course, in
co:154.11;211re of the intended iatclosure of Inglewood
Forest ; and such was the ardour to promote this
interest, that the whole • sum, which must exceed
50ai. was subsctibed in less than 21 hours. •I•he
course is to be encircled by a wall, an elegant and
commodious stand is to be erefted, and every ac•
corns:lodation furnished, which must insure a future
attendance. Abort 20 members were added to the
list of subscribers, among whom was Lord Low-
ther, hc.
The amusements in the evening were largely
attended, and the elegance of the females was upon
no fotmer occasion more conspicuous. The balls
were honoured by the attendance of the Earl of
Lonsdale, klatl Lowther, and the amiable Ladies
Mary mut Ann Lowther, who joined the cheerful
scene with great gaiety and good humour. On Sa-
turday morning, previous to the Race, additional
interest was given to the meeting, by the inspection
of that fine body of men, the Loyal Leath Ward
Volunteer Infantry, by Lieutenant. Colonel Camp-
bell, who was pleased to express his very high ap•
probation of the manner in which they went tnrough
their exercise, and the different MAIICtItteS they
performed. It ought to be remarked to the credit
of this corps, many of whom are from ten to fifteen
miles dicant from ?chunk, that out of 67; men,
610 were present, 41 absent with leave, anti only 2i•
absent without it. Nothing could exceed their ap-
pearance and attention.
