chace. Lord Maryborough attended the chace.
On Wednesday the King's Stag Hounds turned out a fine
deer at Mihl [louse, for the day's diversion, which, the clay
being fine, was numerously attended. The deer set ofr in grand
style through the Enclosures, taking to the left across the Bath
road, through the fields towards the Thames, which he crossed
near Surloy Hall. The sportsmen and hounds came by Eton
and Windsor Bridge, end through the town of Windsor, on
the other side of Clower renewed the chace, taking up through
the wood to the right of Earl Ilarcourt's (St. Leonard's 11 ill),
