ROYAL LAWN MEET AT SANDRINGIum.___The
second of these brilliant field days at Sandringham
took place on Wednesday last, and was very nume-
rously attended. The morning opened as if it was
spring time, the sun shining brilliantly, and a
southerly wind blowing.; Under these most exhila-
rating influences the suveral roads which led to the
humbleeve pony car. The

11.30 was exceedingly gay, the hounds and com-
pany being assembled on this expensive open space,
from whence they were entertained right royally
by the Prince of Wales, a recherche luncheon
being provided. Amongst the company we
noticed the Prince and Princess of Wales
Major Teesdale, Hon. Mrs. Gray, Lord Montague,
Willoughby Jones, Bart.,
CaptainSCiarp‘tVaii Campbell,lnliaßmataensdonLadsy3,iriKr.noHlly.a Captain Lane Fox,isher, Mr. L. W.
Jarvis, and the leading families of the district. At
twelve o'clock we trotted away to the royal covers,
commencing at Jocelyn Wood, and proceeding
thence to Wolferton, afterwards trying the woods
at Frankfort, out of none of which could a fox bo
obtained, and, exceedingly sorry that we could not
find a fox at home at the royal residence, we went
off to Sturner and got one out quickly, with which
a short run was obtained, but the scent was indiffe-
rent and the sport far from first-class, so that we
eventually gave up running him. We were sorry
to find that Squires was still unable to take his
post as huntsman. The Prince will hunt with us
ou Friday at Walton, and I hope we shall be able
to show his Royal Highness a good run across a
splendid country.

LORD HASTINGS' PDXFIOUNDS.—Those hounds
had a clipping run of forty minutes on Tuesday 7th
from Stody. Also another clipper of fifty minutes
from Grassonhall Wood.

SO UTII DEVON
(MR. WEsTLAKE's.)—Theso hounds
have had good runs on Thursday and Monday last,
killing their fox on Thursday by candlelight ; but
on Monday the scent died completely away, from
the severe cold, and they lost after a hard run
of one hour.

WI EATLAND FOXHOUNDS.—These hounds had
another capital day's sport on Tuesday last. The
meet was at Stanley, the seat of -.- Darby, Esq.,
who is a staunch preserver of the " varmint."
Though the night before was very boisterous, and
the morning not much better, little sport was anti-
cipated ; but the hounds being thrown in covert soon
spoke b a Stanley fox, the largest one I ever saw ;
and after twc hours and ten minutes' hard riding
w.ts pulled down in the open to the delight of all
I rosent. Humphrey presented the brush to Miss
D,rl)y, whu rode well throughout the run. A good

Mr. Bolven, of Dunville,
broke his collar bone. 1
hope to have many more good runs to record before
the end of the season.--Land and Water.
