SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.—On Monday week, Mr.
George Brown, huntsman to the Sinnington hounds, ac-
companied by another gentleman, rode the distance of 45
miles to meet Lord Halewood's hounds, which threw off
at Follyfuot Ridge. After enjoying the day's sport, they
returned with the same horses ; niet the Sinnington
hounds about a mile from that place on Tuesday morning,
when Mr. G. Brown took a fresh horse, and thus carried
off his sway as huntsman, after having rode the above
distance.
LEALHOLM AND UGTHORFE FOX- HOU NOS. •••011 Wed-
nesday, the 20th ult., these hounds according to appoint-
ment, met at Stainton-Dale, one of the roughest hunting
countries in the Noith Riding of Yorkshire. Amongst a
numerous company of sportsmen present, Mr. Malian, of
Stainton-Dale, and Mr. Laidlaw, of Harwood-Dile, made
themselves conspicuous. The united ages of these two
veteran sportsmen amounted to 156 years. The latter,
during the day, was observed taking a wall in preference
to opening a gate, not many yards distance. On being
remonstrated with for doing so, he remarked, that he
thought it easier going over the wall than opening the
gate. This gentleman has hunted with fox-hounds for the
last 65 successive years; and the age of himself, added
to that of the horse which he then rode, amounted to 110
years.
THE VETERAN SPORTSMAN...-..We are indebted to the
Gloucester Journal for the following characteristic trait
of " the father of the Chace" in Gloucestershire. The
circumstance has been communicated to our contempo-
rary, " from undoubted authority," and cannot fail, as the
Journal justly anticipates, to bring the activity and perse-
verance of a well-known stanch old sportsman fresh to
the recollection of many a follower of fox-hounds in
this county :—On Monday last Lord Seagrave's gallant
pack had an excellent run from Coombend, losing their
fox on the other side of Barnsley Park, the seat of Sir
James Musgrave, Bart. It is a fact that will interest the
friends of this noble amusement, that Jeremiah Hawkins,
Esq., rode up frotas home to meet his Lordship, and re-
turned to the Haw the same day, after the chace, upon his
favourite old horse, which he rode at the same place, with
Lord Seagrave's hounds, on the same day of the same
month 24 years ago.—Cheltenham Journal.

WHO IS THE TRAITOR ?—Mr. Hill has
sent answers (which have been published in the Dublin
Journals) to each of those Irish Members who have written
to him on the subject. We suppose the whole of the Hon.
Members will seize the opportunity of getting a direct
public disclaimer from Mr. Hill. By this course of pro-
ceeding, the question of " Who is the Traitor ?" will at
once be solved. The Members whom Mr. Hill has pub-
