STRANGE ACCIDENT TO LORD GIFFORD.—The re-
port of a fatal accident having happened to this young
nobleman while hunting turns out to be a mere idle rumour,
though the Noble Lord met with a singular adventure for
an account of which we are indebted to the Hereford Times
On Tuesday morning last, October 1, the Herefordshire
hounds (Lord Gifford's) met at Trebandy, at half-past six
o'clock for the purpose of cub hunting. Directly they were
thrown into cover a leash of foxes were on foot. After twenty
minutes run they settled to one fox, and raced him a pretty
burst over a country to ground in an earth pit overhanging
a brook, Lord Gifford and his first whip being the only two
up at the time. When his Lordship jumped off his horse to
look at the earth and cheer his hounds, in a moment he was
assailed by some hundreds of hornets which the hounds had
disturbed from their nests in au old ash pollard, attracted by
his red coat. He was quickly obliged to rush up the oppo-
site bank. Upon throwing down his cap, it was immediately
covered with hundred of hornets. His Lordship in the
meantime had cailed off his hounds, and had desired the first
whipper-in to gallop away with the horses for fear of their
being stung, but not before he had got several bad stings on
the back of his head, also his hands and back of his neck.
After mounting his horse again the pain became so intense
that it caused him to faint away, but after the stings woo
extracted ,and by the kindness of the gentlemen and far-
ystAerilsoso,
mere who were out, he soon recovered, and WSJ enabled to
find another fox at Trebandy, and, after an hour's running,
to kill him."
