SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

STAG HUNT.
BRIGHTON, MARCH 16.—The names given to the !flirt of
stags, for the exercise of our subscription pack of harriers, pro-
cured from the park of the Earl of• Derby, are Robin flood'
and Little John. Little John, for the first time, was turned out
on Monday at Knight's Rails, in the vicinity of the !NNW,'
Dyke, to a numerous field of horse and foot, including Lon'
Normanton with the former, and other titled and distinguished
sportsmen. Little John, like his predecessor Robin, on Thurs-
day, did not, at first, appear inclined to desert such an assem-
blage of agreeable company as was there to greet bim, nor did
he until their manner had assumed an hostility towards him,
in nowise equivocal, when he took to his heals to save his veni-
son tiom farther insults. His route was a circuitous one, but
all irr the open country ;_ the weald heavoidt d, and snuffing the
breeze, seemed to regard it as much to be preferred to the com-
parative density of that which skimmed and cooled • the low
lands. After a beautiful burst, and a. lapse of forty minutes,
he reached the Lodge House of the Earl of Chic/femme*. Parjt,
on the ',ewes road, which he tcok tt:e liberty of enterih4,
but being dislodged, he ascended by means of a low shed' the
parkwall, and looked as resolutely bent to maintain an elevated;
position there. A husbandman, at length, mounted the wall also,
but John, after bestowing a few kicks in answer to the lashia he
received from 'a long carter's whip, all of which fell short of their
object, contrived to turn himself about, anti was proceeding to
butt his assailant,'who, not altogether relishing. such a mode of
warfare, like an experienced soldier, when overmatched, re-
treated, to avoid, a more signal defeat and mischief. From. the
wall to the turnpike, John, however, was at last compelled toy
descend, when, keeping close to the Park fence, he readied
its south-east angle, turned .it briskly, and .stood for_tbe
downs, near the toll-gate on the Ditchling road; on being
headed by a posse of horsemen, he turned short to the• right,
made a leap at the
_park inclosure and cleared it, and a beau-,
tiful run in the Park followed. Jolia, hard pressed once more
essayed to find refuge, and his former friend in nee4.the
Park Lodge, being discernible,' he pUshed fbr it, and a second
time became its occupant, at the end of about .35 minutes from
his previously reluctantly submitted to ejectment. •Iri the .
Lodge it was then considered prudent:. to leave him, to recover
from his fatigue, his carriage, in the interim, having been' or-
dered, to convey him back, with all possible care anti respect
to his appointed residence. The chase,. altogether, 'affor4ed
great interest ; and accidents were by no means so rife *one
the former occasion. ,
