FOX CHASE.
Tuesday last, whilst the harriers belonging to Joni; Trftsrrros,
Esq. of Hale hall, Worcestershire, were trailing for a hare near that
mansion, they unexpectedly came across the drag of a fox, to which
they instantly gave tongue, and went off at full speed to Markham
Coppice, a distance of three miles, which they had scarcely entered
before lieynard broke cover on the opposite side ; his staunch, pur-
suers instantly pushed through, and again caught the scent, when a
finer run has seldom occurred. Reynard, bidding defiance to
them, wentloff right a-head, crossing the country to Kinneaton hills,
a distance of twenty miles, to which place he was closely pursued,
and killed in a fallow field, after a run of two hours with scarcely a
cheek. Out of the numerous field of sportsmen, Mr. Twisleton,
junior, and the whipper-in, were the only two in at the death.

PEDESTRIANISM.
Mc G. West, the celebrated pedestrian, who, until the present
undertaking never was beaten, started on his match to perform twat
which Abraham Weod once performed in his day, 40 miles in five
hours, from the 10th to the 50th mile-stone, on Thursday last, on
the Stamford road. He was backed at five to four to win, and fie
did the first eight miles in 57 minutes 16 sec. the second in 56 min.
19 sec. the third 59 min. 12 sec. the 4th, one hour, two min. and 19
sec. In the last six miles he broke down by a vein in the calf of the
right leg starting; but he kept on to the 35th mile, *hen he com-
pletely'broke down, anti .could not proceed furthen, After three
bows running, the pedestrian was backed at six to four, having
performed the firs• twenty-four miles in more than six minutes
within three hours.
