at Kettleby, and hail an excellent chase. The morning
being fine, the effect produced by a view of above two
hundred sportsmen in the field, many of them in scarlet,
and all mounted on some of the floral horses in the world,
was to the spectators, who were numerous, highly animat-
ing. They tried Canoe Thorns, and Saxetby Gorse, but in
vain. Disappointment was strongly marked in every coon.

hearing the approach of the hounds, had left the cover a few
minutes and took towards Upper Broughton, with • very sharp
burst, running in a soot of ring-fence, for about 20 minutes,
when he returned to rover; but being closely pressed, and And.
ing his pursuers close tsp.'s him, pushed through the gorse,
and ran over the lordships of Old Dalby,Upper Broughton, to
Widmerpool, from thence over the heath to liickliug, re-

seven minutes, without a single check, over a fine, but se-

twenty miles.
These hounds bare this season had many long and severe
runs, and, Gum their very superior breeding, have killed
massy fuses; it was, therefore, deemed prudent to dig this
excellent fox out, sod reserve him for another day's sport,
Well might the Poet exclaim—
" Oh ! could my muse resemble such a chase,
And with the riders keep an equal pace;
Though cautious, bold—cool, yet with ardour bred—.
Free, without cheek—impetuous, yet untired.
re knowing sportsmen! foremost of the lead,
Who keep no turnpikes, and no Intim heed;
Who crack the echoing whip, go off in style,
Enjoy the burst, and pare through every mile;
Now found, now lost, sad now again in view,
The conning fugitive ye close pursue:
In at the death 'lis glorious to arrive,
Tu aims the brush no mean prerogative.v
