FOX RUATING.

k, LEEDS HAR AIfRS.
The toed' Barnisrs had on , 'Thursday case of the
finest tildes 'with a FA v,e almost ever heard or.
The highest bred Tea Hoands have seldom had a
more sevete ene.—They threw off at Aordsley
Fall, which cover, as well as I heepe Wood, they
tried without finding. They then proceeded to
West Woods, and took up a drag about the middle
of this large cover. The Fox, however, had stolen
Away, and the Hounds, after a little cowl hunting
through the. cover, went away in great style towards
Farnley ; hut Reynard, being headed by some far-
mers, made for beeston Park. The Hounds here
were for some time at fault, and it was thought the
sport was at an end. Very much to the gratifica-
tion of the sportsmen, however, the Hounds again
hit on, and went again through West Woods, with-
out ever a check, and the Fox was seen by the
whole field to break cover towards Thorpe Wood,
the Hounds close at his brush. He mado.awav for
Aordsley Fall, through which cover he was pushed
in a gallant manner. lle then passed through the
small woods towards Lofthouse, and, making
right angle, went boldly over Wakefield Out Wood,
by Pot-Ovens, through the Springs, to the left of
East Aordsley, over A .rdsley Common, and again
through West Woods. New Hall Wood, Beeston
Park, and Middleton Wood, where the Hounds
came into view of him, and poo' Reynard's death
was looked for; he seemed', however, only to take
fresh courage from having had a sight of his env-
:vies. He now sought a fresh country, and broke
cover towards kotnwell Haigh, and the Dogs now
carried a higher scent than ever; went at store by
Mr. F.-nn and. making the right ever the Haigh:
the Fox went to ground near Carleton Field. Very
few horsemen were up He was dug out, and fair
play shewn him, passed over Carleton Field, took
towards Thorpe, leaving Mr. Fisher's house to the
right, made Aordsley paa.ing through without
the least stop, the Hounds nut 100 yards behind
him ; leaving Thorpe Wood ta the left, he made
boldly over the inclosures by Mr. Humble's. theough
Middleton Woods Again. a d down to West W.Ojs.
It bein.: nearly dark, and most of the horses k .u. k.
ed up. the Hounds were calked off, though sill
running in good styie. The chase lasted uowards
of rive hours, and there is no doubt t..e wood
have been ktlled, had there been hair an hour more
of day-light.
MR. CALVERT'S HOUNDS.
On Monday, the 9th. it t:aivert's hounds had
the severest and most brilliaiit run of the season.
After running for nearly two hours, in Scale's
Park, and losing their Fox, they found a IC col d its
Horniead Park, who brokecover Lstant therm:lnds
were thrown in. and went away, gallantly facing the
open costly y to braughm and •Sta:al in, from thence
to Hadhain, Pcunoor hall, Albuty-hall, HorniQad
PAark. and „from thence to Seale's Park, a:ter
capital chase of twenty-four :Mfrs. As a prom of
the seventy of the run, Gteig. Esq cf W. st-
rain, upon his famei horse, Taveihr, t ne envy of
the hunt for these last fifteen years, was not seen,
after the first hour. Sampson Hanbut y. Esq. the
polite manager of the pack, was absent, during the
latter part of the run. When we confider this gen-
ii• man rides SA2VnliCe:l st..ne, and is so zealous in
the cause, as occasiotially t' perform the offices of
huntsman and whipp-r-ir., fox-hunters will not be
surprised, that his horse, though good, did not last
till the end. Even that celebrated horst, lienning/a.o
so well known in Leic,stershire, towards the end of
the day, fell into so deep a clitch,• that his gallant
rider could not extricate him in time to recover
the fleet pack. More distress was seldom witnessed
amongst horse', hounds, and meii, than during this
memorable run. The chosen few who lasted to the
end, were six in number; among Oleic were—Lord
P. Beauglere, Mr Bac, acrd the I untsman.
