STAMPED sd.

lib oral programme has been issued by Mr. Tophtfin for his
new venture, which takes Place on Tuesday anti Wednes-
day next. We are informed that an excellent line of
country has been -secured, anl, providing the weather be
fine, its proximity to the metropolis will attract a large
attendance.

The well-known sire The _Cure, a notice of whose extra-
ordinary career recently went the round of the papers,
appears in the obituary of the week. He was a very speedy
but uncertain race horse, and as sire will chiefly be re-
membered in connection with Underhand and El Hakim.
Orontes, after winning at Croydon, was bought by an
enterprising individual for 165 guineas, but he being un-
able to find the needful, the horse was kept by the com-
mittee and put up for auction at Reading, where, by a
curious coincidence, he was again knocked down for 165
guineas, Capt. Coote being his purchaser.
The Duke of Hamilton has purchased The Vet, the win-
ner in two matches at Warwick, and was successful in a
match on him at Donington yesterday.
_ _ _

The Cheltenham Stable.--Wm. HOlman informs us that
he has boon favoured with the addition of Mr. J. Astley
and Mr. T. Chamberlayne to his list of masters.

Globule.—Mr. T. V. Morgan requests us to say that
Globule is barely 15 hands high, instead of 15 hands 2i
inches, as previously stated.

The following of Mr. T. Golby's lot have been added to
the list of geldings :—Venturesome, 3 yrs ; Vidi, 2 yrs ; and
General Kmety, 2 yrs.

We regret to learn the death of Mr. Seymour George
Huffam, a member of Lloyd's, and well known in racing
circles as the constant friend and adherent of Baron Moyer
Rothschild.

The York Steeplechases.—These events will take place
on Wednesday in Easter week, April 17, being the blank
day between Durham and Catterick Bridge Races.
The owner of Milford and Saucebox was so disappointed
at their running. at Reading that he sold them for 200
sous to Mr. Roberts.

Pontefract Rae% are fixed for Monday and Tuesday, the
Bth and 9th of July.
C. Thorp has bought the hurdle racer Adriers, and he
has left Cardiff for his stable in France.

Cromwell, 2 yrs, has once more changed hands, having
been purchased by Mr. E. Brayley.
Mr. Brayley's Dick Turpin, a shifty sou of High Trea-
son, has been added to the list of geldings.
Leicester, formerly the property of Lord Stamford, has
arrived at Ellison's stable at Wroughton, to be schooled in
steeplechasing.
The assumed name of Mr. Roberts has been registered.
Mr. Eastwood is now J. Doyle's first master.
Baschurch Steeplechases are fixed for March 1.
The colours of Capt. Hugh are pink, black bolt.

poet—
sic vos, non vobis."
Just as the two

line, two groat men,
working couple
horns twisted round them like the
serpents in
"Laocoon" (which Pliny says was
carved out
of stone) whiCh we love to look at

otfha onet group
block of
suddenly comes a canine avalanche, and whole " bunches"
of hounds are loosed and
sot scent. Then you gallop fcr
hours through grass rides which cannot be surpassed.
Ono element of hunting is wanting—there is " the
devil a fence," as our " lepping brothers" in Ireland would
have it; and I confess that personally, I would as soon
hunt a rabbit in a hutch as a fox without fencing. At every
corner is a man with a horn, on which ho
"Merrily sounds his roundelay ;"
having, no doubt, good reasons for so doing, though what
those reasons are is thoroughly " Greek" to the humble and
less demonstrative foxhunter. I confess you get glorious
gallops; and to soo the late Duc do Morn)'s trainer sending
along a thorough-bred fresh from training is a sight! Now
the "Dutchman" blood can sail away when it gets a chance
over the flat. Even the hounds-7a good lot., from the best
English kennels—could not give the sonof ourold "Flyer"
too much to do. The riding at this wicked hunt, as they
would call it, bedad, in Ireland, is certainly mere curious
than pleasing. When I saw heavy military riders with the
most reckless seats, loose reins, and long spurs, which
worked, 1 fancy, often without the knowledge of their
wearers, I thought of Mr. Gamble, his horses, their condi-
tion, and then I wept! The take of a stag hero is a sight
not usual to English eyes. When the pack brings the quarq
to bay a whip gets off his horse, loads a small rifle, and
proceeds to pot the wretched stag. It is, of course, a frag-
ment of barbarity. At Compiegne is a palace which occu-
pies three sides of a great square, the fourth side being tbe
grand entrance. There is a large courtyard to which, on
happy hunting nights (i.o.,whou there has boon a kill), the
