FOX HUNT.

The Cantu' Fox Hounds, kept by several real sportsmen,
principally farmers and tradesmen, unkennelled a fox near
Grange, in Cartmel. The dogs being in high condition, and a
delicate scent-lying morning, reynard was pursued at an in.
credible rats, and in a style which did credit to the managers
of such a pack ; they swept away through the covers north.
ward, crossing the sands a little south of Newton, returned by
nampsfield, and took the ridge of hills in view of Cartinel,
which had an imposing effect on the inhabitants, anti more
particularly so, it being the Cattle Fair there. They then
made a long sweep southward, and, after a desperate chase
of upwards of two hours, the fox took refuge in an earth,
not far from his den. This afforded a temporary asylum
to the poor brute, but alas 1 but of short duration, for ter-
riers were brought, and though he kept them at bay for some
time, he was finally forced to quit his hold and depend on the
lightness of his heels; this scheme, however, after all his cun-
ning shift, proved unavailing, for the staunch noses of his pur-
suers roused him from every retreat; and after about two hours
second chase, during which he gave the spectators at Cartmel
another treat, he final' fell a victim to the determined fangs of
the hounds on Yewbarrow, after having run, on a moderate
computation, not less than between 30 and 40 miles. The head
and tail were taken in triumph, as trophies of victory, and ex-
hibited to the gazing multitude at Cartmel fair.
