THE MOORS.

The reports from the moors still continue of the same
unsatisfactory character. l'he weather is magnificent,
but the birds are wanting. On the Lagganauld shoot-
ings Lord Henry Bentinek had, on the 22d, 48 brace
of grouse, good birds ; on the 25th, in tNO hours' shoot-
ing, 23 brace. On the same moors J. H. Hall, Esq.,
-it'll enjoys fair sport. On the 221 he bagged 26 braise
grouse ;on the 23d, in three hours, 16 brace; on the
25th, n brace ; and on the 26th, in ose hour, 6 brace.
Mr. Steuart, of Auchlunkart was on the Buck moors,
the property of Mr. Gordon, of Craig, on the 20th,
when he killed 8 brace grouse. On the Auchlunkart
moors on the 23d he killed 7 brace ; and on the 25th on
the Lesmurdie moors, in three hours he bagged 8 brace.
The Messrs. Callwell were out on the Glenlivat hill on
the first of the week, and killed about 70 brace of grouse.
During the first eight days of the sport the party killed
about 200 brace. On the Glentraun shootings, in
Badenoch, the party have been shooting on an average
15 brace a-day. The Kincraig party took to hare shoot-
ing on the 27th, and bagged 227, which they mostly
distributed among the tenants on the estate. They
have not since tried the grouse, but have been amusing
themselves fishing. Our correspondent in Aberneathy,
writing on Friday, reports more favourably as to grouse
shooting in the lower Culnakyle moors during the past
week, although he says the general cry there, as well
as in other places, is that the young birds are scarce
and rarely to be met with, and that the old ones
are remarkably wild. He adds—J. W. Eyton, Esq.,
T. L. Fitzhugh, Esq., and T. Ince, Esq., together shot
28 brace grouse and 81 brace black game on Friday, the
223 ; and on Saturday, the following day, J. W. Eyton,
Esq., and party from Carrbridge took to ptarmigan
shooting in Ben Baynach and killed 13 brace ptarmigan,
T. L. Fitzhugh, E=q., taking to the moors and killing
30 brace grouse. On the 25th J. W. Eyton, Esq., tried
angling in the Spey, and caught one very nice fish ; and
on the 26th, Mr. Eyton killed 26 brace grouse ; Mr.
Fitzhugh, 151 ; and Mr. Ince, 81. On the 27th, J. W.
Eyton, T. L. Fitzhugh, and T. Ince, Esqrs., together,
killed 181 brace grouse, 51 black game, 1 duck, 1 teal,
and 1 hare. From the Doirbeg Lodge our reports are
not so good this week. On Monday the 25th, G. H.
Thompson, Esq., killed 22 brace grouse ; G. Greenall,
Esqb; P•; 8 brace on the 27th.—Banff Journal.

PARTRIDGE SHOOTlNG.—Sportsmen bad a fine opening
for their sport on Monday last, although, in some parts,
there was a few afternoon showers. The coveys appear
to be large, the birds well grown, and very strong on
the wing. The lateness of the harvest, in some degree,
will interfere witk the operations of "ay dog and my
gun ;" but it is anticipated that, in a fortnight's time,
the fields will be cleared, and then sporting will begin
in good earnest.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
CuR HUNTING.—Cub hunting commenced in Notting-
hamshire, a few days ago, under most excellent auspices.
Viscount Galway, M.P., G. S. Foljambe, Esq., and
Francis John Foljambe, Esq., all arrived from their an•
nual visit to the sea-side to be present and enjoy the sport.
From inquiries we have made, and the information
which has reached us from various quarters in this im-
mediate neighbourhood, where " Reynard deigns to
dwell," we are induced to believe there are a greater
number of the juvenile branches of this family this year
than usual, which, in time, will afford more sport to the
lovers of the chase, not only in cub-hunting but in the
regular season of hunting. At one period it was feared
that the intersection of this district by the Great Northern
and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln,hire railways
would be detrimental to the sport, but, we believe,
hitherto very little inconvenience has been suffered
thereby; on the contrary, the facilities these respective
lines have afforded to the lovers of the chase resident at
a distance has enhanced the value of the hunt, by al-
lowing gentlemen a favourable opportunity of following
one of the first pack of foxhounds in the kingdom on the
most advantageous terms. During the five or six days
...v uno re-
gularly been sacrificed, and on one occasion two. We
hear also a favourable account from the district hunted
by Captain Williams, and we wish them one and all the
most excellent sport throughout, the approaching hunting
season.—Nottingham Journal.
