ROYAL HUNT.
On Monday the King's stag-hounds turned otre a fine deer ai
Salt Hilt for the day's diversioo,which was taken at Burnham, after
a very short run.
On Wednesday a fine deer was turned out at irer Heath, which
the King's hounds bunted, and after an excellent chase the Beet
was taken near Haverfield Park.
Filthy was the day appointed for another deer to be turned out
at the Magpies' Inn, Hounslow Wain., bnt the denseness of the
fog in the morning was such that the sport was deferred to, this
following morning. Numbers of sportsmen were in consequence
disappointed. The deer and the hounds were kept all night at
Longford, to bb in readiness for Saturday morning, when the
deer was turned out at the Magpies' Inn, and afforded au ex..
cellent day's sport.

Fifteen tickets have been taken for the King's Hunters' Plate at
the ersuing Ascot Races.
This morning (Monday), the Ring's hounds hunt a deer at
Two-mile Brook; on Wednesday, at Farnham Common ; and on

Prosody broke into a gallop in the first mile, and was turoed agree-
ably to the articles; and the mare broke twice in the last five miles,
and lost the match by her bad temper.
Captain Huniphry, the umpire on the first match, backed hie
galloway to trot two utiles over part of the same ground in okevect
n-Inutes, and he won it cleverly ; the first mile having been per-
formed in three minutes ten seconds, and the second it. three mi-
nuted twelve seconds.
