OiIIALrIESTON's KEE Ins HOU N bs.--These
hounds had t vo extraordinary days on Monday and
on Tueaday,last.- i3On,Monday, owing to the frost,
they; cfd; not meet ill nue o'clock, when they found
in aAvraid called Tuntnan's Wood, about half-past
One. The.! fox immediately ran to an adjoining
wood, abut two miles, distant, and after running
twice round it returned to the same wood he was
found in, and again broke cover at the same point,
but flew his country ;••and• alter running till. half-
past live, when the company could no longer see,
they whipt °linear thirty mileg from where lie was
found. The next, day ttie•above hounds happened
to meet, according to notice, near where they left
off the preceding vVening, at a favourite gorse, in
the middle of gorse- country. They found
immediately, and; the fox. broke instantaneously,
forming it -comiderable. ring ; when he took 'nearly
the same line as was: run the day before, finishing
within eight miles of Tunman's•Wood, where they
found the day before, and ran him 16 earth. This
last run was so, excessively sharp, that only three
horses, out of fifty were near 'at the tine the fox was
run to earth. Thi, run was supposed to be no less
thantwltnly miles, arid fifteen (ruin the gorse he was'
found in. This celebrated pack have b•ad several
similar days.of late, and, on the whole, had such
sport, aa never, was witnessed in that country, nor,
we believe in any other. •
