SANDRINGHAM, Thursday.
The second royal meet of the " West Norfolk"
took place yesterday at Congham House, the seat
of Mr. R. Elwes. This place derives an interest
from the fact that at Congham was born, in 1864,
Sir Henry Spelman, the famous antiquary, whose
remains were buried in Westminster Abbey.
The weather was yesterday dull and cold, not-
withstanding which the field assembled in the park
to meet their royal highnesses was very large.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales entered the park about 12 o'clock—the
prince riding his favourite chestnut bunter, and her
royal highness also on horseback, both looking re-
markably well—accompanied by a distinguished
party from the hall ; and after the Prince of Wales
had exchanged civilities with the young master,
Mr. A. Hamond, jun., the Squire of Congham, and
some of the leading county notabilities present, the
hounds were put in the woods in the immediate
neighbourhood of Congham House, which were
drawn blank. They were then trotted off to Cong-
ham Carr, where a fox was soon found, but was as
soon lost on the estate of Sir Wm. Ffolkes, Hil-
lington. After this a nice little trot took the field
to Grimestone-common, when the usual welcome
sounds were very soon heard, and a splendid run
for 20 minutes took all that portion of the hunt that
could " live" it out to the Westacre Estate. This
run ended without a kill, but " pace" was so
sharp that all lovers of the sport must have enjoyed
it most thoroughly.
The 21st birthday of her Royal Highness the
Princess of Wales will be celebrated at Sandringham
to-morrow.
