GRAND DAY WITH THE ATHERSTONE HOUNDS.—Thursday
last was one of those fine old English field sports which awaken
in one's mind all the soul stirring recollections of that noble
pastime, that paragon of British sports, fox-hunting. The
Atherstone Fox Hounds met at Canwell Gate on that day.
It was known to a few in the neighbourhood of Lichfield and
Tamworth that the Duke of Wellington was visiting Sir R.
Peel, and was likely to join in the chase. Punctual to the time,
Sir Robert's Peel's carriage drove up, containing the Duke,
Sir R. Peel, the Earl of Jersey, Lord Granville Somerset,
and Mr. Jonathan Peel, who were received with loud cheering.
The party of noble fox-hunters mounted their steeds, and the
hounds proceeded to draw Middleton Woods. Between two
and three hundred horsemen now were anxious to commence
the chase,-and the hounds having drawn Middleton Blank,
they immediately found a fox in the New Park, and away he
went with a splendid burst out of the cover, through Middleton,
" over the meadows and over the stream ;" they then met with
a slight check, and after some hunting again hit upon him and
drove him back again into the copse, when—
" On the sound of the wind was borne
The conquering sound of the hunter's horn ;"
they ran into him, and killed him in gallant style. - Some
amusing events occurred during the chase ; many who had
never seed his Grace were continually asking others whether
they had seen the Duke ; one gentleman asked the Duke him-
self which was his Grace, and whether he rode in scarlet; and
another warm admirer of the gallant fox-hunter, whilst rolling
in a ditch after a severe fall, exclaimed to his friend, " Have
you seen the Duke ?" His Grace rode with great boldness
and looked remarkably well ; both he and Sir Robert were in
at the death. Another fox was immediately unkennelled,
which after a short run of twenty-five minutes, was lost in
Woeford Park, where the solicitors of answers to " Where's
the Duke ?" and " Have you seen the Duke ?" were again
very numerous. The meeting will be long remembered in the
annals of fox-hunting.

On Wednesday a field of sixty gentlemen met at Quidden-
ham Bridge, to join Sir James Flower's hounds. At eleven
the ground was hard, and many were doubtful of a day's sport,
but the hounds, with Sir James at their head, soon altered the
appearance of things. The party, though numerous, were in-
vited to the Hall, and the force of the kitchen was put to its
proof. Hot-cutlets, with many delicacies, were quickly pro-
vided, and a bowl of punch was speedily emptied to the health
of such an unprecedentedly hospitable master of the hounds.
Amongst the company assembled to see the deer turned out
were his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, Lord and Lady Albe-
marle, Lady Maria Keppel, Major Keppel, Captain Sterling,
Sir Thomas and Lady Lennard, Mr. Portman, &c. The run
was excellent; the pace may be judged from the last seven
miles being done within forty minutes.
SHERBORNE GRAND HUNT BALL.—A most magnificent
ball and supper was given at the Assembly rooms last Wednes-
day by the membes of the Somersetshire and Dorsetshire
Hunts to upwards of 300 of tho most distinguished persons
from fifty miles around. This ball surpassed any given in this
neighbourhood for many years past. The ball commenced at
ten o'clock, to the delightful music of Weippert's band, and
was kept up with the greatest spirit until past five o'clock.

The noted grey horse, the property of Mr. Fenton, of Great
Welnetham, Suffolk, died on the 19th instant, having num-
bered 30 winters. This horse, in 1818, trotted a mile on the
Sudbury turnpike road in two minutes and 34 seconds. The
match was against time, and the distance was to have been ae-
cumplished in- three minutes, but the horse did it with great
ense in the time specified.
Cnomwa's LAM.--Mr. John Smith's Chorus mare, the
dam of Chorister (winner of the Doncaster St. Leger in
1831), produced a veiy fine cot foal, by Jerry, on Saturday,
the 16th instant, at the Turf Tavern, Doncaster.
