SPORTING.
Last Thusday the Quorn hounds made one of the
most magnificent runs that has been seen in Leicester-
shire, for the last ten years. The fox was started at
Great Daulby, and killed near Rolleston. The pace of
the last four miles was tremendous ; every hound was in
at the death, and during the whole of this splendid run
the pack might have been covered with a table-cloth.
No horse could keep up within a quarter of a mile of
these superb dogs.
The Earl of Harewood, it is said, does not intend to

cellar.
