,On Monday there was a most excellent run with
the English Subscription Pack of Versailles. A noble
stag was turned out near the town ; he took directly across
the country, and, after a gallant chase of two hours anti
twenty minutes, was taken at about five leagues distance.
During the whole time there occurred only one single check
of about four minutes. The hunt passed off without acci-
dent ; the day was fine, the sport capital, and the gent.l,-
inen returned home highly delighted with their healthful
excursion. A great deal of sport is expected this season ;
the hounds are in famous conditions and reflect great cre-
dit on Mr. Johnson, of Versailles. No doubt, with his
care and ability, the " Versailles Hunt" will soon make a
conspicuous figure in the annals of sporting.
DESTRUCTIVE FORCE OF FIELD ROCKETS.—
A 12-pounder rocket laid on the ground and discharged
without. a tube, by simply applying a match to the vent,
will run along the ground four or live hundred yards, sel-
dom rising higher than a man's head, and then, alternately
rising and falling, will continue its course with such effect
as, after ranging 1,200 yards, to pierce through 20 feet of
turf, and explode on the other side, scattering the 72 car-
bine balls with which it is loaded in all directions. At
the first assault of Oporto, the two six-pounder rockets
threw the troops of Don Miguel into confusion, after mus-
ketry and artillery had alike failed in checking their ad-
vance.— United Service Journal.
