STAG HUNTING.
The valuable Dulverton stag which escaped from the pad-
docks at Burton Constable more than two months ago, has
since been traversing the country in every direction, and was
recovered yesterday morning after a severe run of three hours
and twenty minutes. For several days previous various des-
patches had been received by Sir Clifford Constable, announc-
ing- the. presence of the stag in different parts of the country,
viz., at Wassand, iiilham, Carnaby, Drifheld, &c. &c. The
hounds have been travelled an immense distance in search of
him during the last fortnight, but to no purpose, as although
his slot was still visible in several places, of course the scent
had quite gone before they could arrive at the various points
where the ;tag had been seen. But information having been
sent to the kennel yesterday morning that he had made his
appearance in a turnip field at Sproatley, which is within a
mile of Burton Constable, the hounds were started with all
possible despatch, notwithstanding which the stag had gone
away a full hour before they had got on the scent ; for the first
half-dozen fields the hounds were at fault several times, but on
making Lelley the scent improved, and soon after the scent
became terrific. From Lelley he made for Humbleton, and
on to Aldborough, Carltons, Cowden, Rolleston Seats, and
was taken in Ilornsea Mare, by means of a boat, which was
fortunately at hand, after the most brilliant run that has ever
been seen in this part of the country. Sir Clifford Constable
and his men were well up at the end, and the stag was safely
lodged in the stables of the Rev. C. Constable, of Wassand.
