SPLENDID CHASE WITH MR. ANDERSON'S
CRACK PACK OF STAG HOUNDS.

To our sporting friends it has always been our study
to give the earliest and most correct information to the
best of our ability, and in noticing a splendid run with
these hounds, a description of the turn out will, we
trust, be of some interest to those who are fond of seeing
a well-conducted hunting establishment, and formed
upon a principle novel and well worthy of being followed
by those who feel how highly necessary it is to have
their hounds fresh at starting. Mr. Anderson brings
his hounds to the meet in a light, elegant, pair cane-
open-work carriage. When we saw the arrival at
Hayes last Tuesday, it struck us as something extremely
chaste, both horses and carriage corresponding—tree
English superiority being the predominant feature. The
huntsman, a young gentleman of the name of Dyson,
we believe, is an amateur chasscur, and from what
we have seen of his riding to hounds, we have no
hesitation in saying that he is one of the best cross-
country riders we know of. The whip rides well up to his
leader, and he must be a good one after thirty minutes
who keeps place with them ; indeed the whole turn
out is matchless as a private pack—muis a 7IOS Iffaires.
A meet at Hayes at any time will draw, but after
the late frost it was a perfect treat, and we, therefore,
with much pleasure, on Tuesday morning accepted a
seat in the Prince's carriage, and in good time got to
Oldacre's hunting stables, where our old horse Burgundy
was as fresh as good keep and exercise could make him.
At twelve o'clock the hounds were brought up to our
worthy friend Shackle's, a gentleman holding a large
tract of land in this parish, and who at all times
throws open his house, with a splendid spread, to all
his brother sportsmen (and he is a true one) whenever
the meet takes place at 014 house ; and whether for Abe
Queen's hounds or others he has always a good turn
out on his own land. Owing to the frost the deer was
not turned out until one o'clock, and at that fine fa-
vourite place Po!shill. The company was, as usual,
very select—Bainbridge, Wantler, Evan, Robinson,
Tattersall, Ellmore, Bean, Evans, Best, and some
twenty more equally good men. On the hounds being
laid on, a fine scent led to a splendid burst over to West-
end, over to Down Barn, Harrow Spire, to the
left—beautiful cross riding up to High Grove and East
Cot Hoo, the hounds going slappingly over to
Pinner and by Oxhey Great Woods, bending and
crossing the river towards Watford, skirting Cashiobury
Park. The run up to this was splendid, and would have
made a glorious finish to the few that were with the
hounds, but a cold, bitter, blasting scent came over, and
the deer was lost for at least an hour. But a few choice
sprits kept on with the worthy master, to endeavour
to save this gallant animal, but in vain, and at half-past
six o'clock, P.M., then almost dark, hounds and horses
beat, we reluctantly gave up, but not from choice—neces-
sity. The whip for several fields led his horse, and
the huntsman was glad to call upon Ben's groom for his
grey. Six miles to Watford, across terra incognito,
on the gloaming, was no very pleasing matter, after
being seven hours on our horses, and therefore at
the first auberge we inquired the shortest way ;
and if ever we leave the high road for a short-cut, at
night, then may we get into a water-_ erlamsh(,as the
countrymen simply call it)
fit to drown a field nume-
rous than ours—a trio ; and honest Jack Ellmore and Bon
Bill Bean will bear ample testimony that if oid Burgundy
.is not the first field-horse, be is an out-and-out water
racer. and safely led as to a happy meeting at the 85.
sex Arms. Watford, tv'th Messrs. Anderson, Dyson,
Robinson, Edmore, Bean, and our no name ; and over
a hasty. but well-served dinner, as much good feeling
flowed as ever passed in so short a time.

IRREGULARITY AT TILE POST-OFFICES.--We
have received several complaints of the non-delivery of papers
sent from our office; no less than three copies of lust week's
Pilot. which were put into the post-office, at North Shields, on
the Friday evening, for different parties at Newcastle, never
reached their destination. Several of the papers usually sent to
us very often do not reach us till two or three days beyond the
proper period of their arrival ; and some of them evidently bear
marks of having been read. Who is to blame, we know not;
but we trust that the post-office authorities will take such ener-
getic measures as will prevent the recurrence of the great evil
and inconvenience of which we and many others have to com-
plain.-- Tyne Pilot.
