ROYAL STAG HUNT.

The King's Stag Hounds met last Friday at Ritching's Park, a
favourite and delightful meet ; the fineness of the morning added to
the beauty of the scene, which was highly interesting, by the arrival
of several splendid carriages, filled with lovely women. Amongst
those we noticed, were the Earl of Uxbridge and family, and shortly
after outriders in scarlet announced the arrival of the Royal cortege.
The first carriage, drawn by four noble horses, contained her Ma-
jesty, the Duchess of Kent, and Princess Victoria, with Lord Fre-
derick on horseback; the whole meet welcomed her Majesty, chapeau
a la main ; and it must have been highly gratifying to the illustrious
party in the four following carriages to witness this well meant
mark of respect. Amongst those we noticed as taking great inte-
rest in the scene, and it was highly animating, were Princes Saxe
Coburg, Ernest, and George of Cambridge. At a little after 12
o'clock, the deer cart was placed parallel with the Royal carriage,
so that her Majesty and suite might have a good view, which,
owing to the judicious arrangements of Lord Frederick, the turn-
out had an excellent effect, the deer running along the meadows,
affording a good view to the Royal party, when he topped the first
fence, and was soon out of sight. The hounds were now laid on,
and off they went with a burning scent, over by Landley to Slough,
bent to the right for Wexham, while a good many were left, as they
got on to Stoke and pointing for Farnham Church, no over-riding
the hounds, the scent burning, on by Burnham to Beaconsfield,
crossed the London road and over towards Forty-green, near where
he was taken, after an excellent chase of one hour and 20 minutes,
over (nearly straight) 16 miles, affording a high treat to those who
rode with the hounds, and were in at the take ; amongst whom we
noticed Davis (as usual), Earl of Uxbridge, Lords F. Fitzclarence,
'
Paget, Sir S. lane, ount D'Orsay, Colonels Standon, Fairlie,
Vyse, Bainbridge, Learmonth, De Burgh, &c.
