time, are_now atriveu 10c.., tioncaster country ; !.e

doubted whether any one Will be so rash as to at-
tempt in future to sustain the pa/B*d reputation of
the Badsworth. Hunt. The times are wonderfully
altered, and. the system of hounds' entirely c!'ittogedi,

AI4,EXTIAARDINARY OLIAS•E'.
Early on the morning of Wednesday, the i tth
inst. the hounds of William Beecher Wrixon, Esq.
of Ballygiblin, county of Limerick, nnkenneled a
sporting fox,- ,of great expectation, at•Brogogue,
who led a large field of well-mounted• linntsmen a
chase of near 25 miles. From the coin' in which
he was found, he ran, over a champaign country for
six miles, in nearly ,a direct line, by Doneraile,
when .he traversed to wards 'Mallow, to Mountuorth,
Ballygiblin, Castlecor, and then ran for The rock ef
Lisearrol, which being. stopped, ha made' oft' for
Glover's Glen, where the hounds were, for • aleW
minute bsifli.ed in, a veryl:thiok 'Cover,' by fresh
foxes; but,trete to their game, they •soen forced the
hunted for tp break cover agalhornd tan hiM sd
close from thence to.Churchtown (the foxllind dogs
being often in the same field)r-thetdie just saved his
life by throwing himself into an earth, -,when only
about two hundred yards a-head of
.the hounds,—
,ISTever.was there finer hunting, or a more propitious
day ; and mettle, blood, and high Condition alone
could support the exertions of it ; however,, towards
the end of the chase,. several horses of valuable per-
formance were so nearly exhausted, that their mer-
ciful ridera would not press them on, and of those
who carried their • riders through, some . were
mediately sent to the stables of the Bev. Freeman
Crofts, of churchtown ; where, ,notwithstanding
every possible care wns taken of them, one, the
property of ,Mr..Freach (who performed wonders).
expired the next day, and it is feared snore of tnem,,
whose lives were eared by bleeding, &c. will hardly
be fit lo engage in the.sports JA. the field again for
the seaietf.
