I:xTnAoriDtwAßT CnAst.—On Thursday, the ft it inst. Lord
Fitzatilitant's hounds had one of the severest runs which they have
experienced for thirty years. They met at Hunt's ('bees; but not
finding there, drew Raund's Old :Ileadow, where they found a fox,
which went away into Keystone Field, where he was headed, and
the hounds killed him before he again reached cover. A wrcond
fox was found in a plantation near to Defeated Ash ; lie went
away immediately in a line for Titchmarsh, but made n sho:t bend
to the right, back to the Thrapston-road, very near to Dish=
toll-bar ;he then made a bend to the left, and went in a straight
line to Titchmarsh Warren, into Molesworth and ftrington Heidi,
to Old Weston Spinnies, ar.d from thence to Leighton Gsrae,
where the hounds came to a short check. The huntsman (Sea.
bright) tried round the cover, and fir.ding the lox had not gene in,
made a cast forward, when the hounds set to running, eanileat ing
ighton village to the kft, Spahlwick windmill to the rig:lt, end
Barham to tile left, went to Duckworth, having the great wood to
the right and the town to the left; there the fox waited in a hedge-
! row until the hounds hunted up to him ; lie then came mit in %ICJ
of the whole pack, and best them fur spectl to the wood, the top
corner of which be skirted, and went away in a straight line for
Araybridge wood ; just skirted the bottom corner, and, making a
straight line for .11carnbury, crossed the North-road at the back of
Mr. Newton's house; left Mr. Clark's house on the left and the
windmill on the right, crossed the Iluntingdon.road, and pointed
towards .Ihbott's Itipton. After crossing two fields, he turned,
heat ing Great and Little Stnkely to the right, and the hout.ds ran
into loin near to a farm called Wild Goose Leys, about two milts
from Iliantingdon, after a run of upwards of three hours. with only
! one check of a few minutes. (hut of a field of 200 horsemen, tr.ly
Lead Milton, the huntsman, and six or seven others, were in at the
death. Ina ploughed field in the parish of Alcorintry upwards of
twenty horses were seen standing with t:icie riders dismounted, who
for some time in vain endeavoured to either lead or drive then on,
they being ridden to a stand still. The hounds passed through IS
lordshirs, and the distance, in a straight line, is suppoNed to be
about 17 miles.—Loral Milton, in resuming home across the mea-
dow opposite 31tIon Park, owing to the darkness ef the evening
and the waters of toe Nene being much swollen, lost his road, anti
hid a narrow escape from being drowned; fortunately hi, Lord-
ship was heard by one of the keepers on the other side of the
river, who procured a light, and rescued Lund N. from his perilous
situation. _ _ .
