NEWPORT, Jan. I.—A fox-hunt took place in the island last Mon-
day. Iteynard was turned out on Limerston Down, and chased
for several hours by about 150 sportsmen. The ground was so par-
ticularly wet, that the horses got completely stuck in some .f the
low lands, which prevented their realising so much sport as had
-been anticipated. •

FIELD SPORTS FOR JANUARY. /
Truax THE ANNALS OF SPORTING:
Grouse-shooting closed on the 10th of last month (Deeember);
and, therefore, these birds are no longer an object for the sports.
man; indeed, they are generally very difficult to approach before
the end of September ; nor are they to be fairly killed, in any treat
quantity, after that period. Poachers have various devices, by
means of which they bring grouse within their reach ; when the
hills are covered with snow, they approach them by placing a shirt
over their clothes, and rendering themselves as nearly the colour of
the snow as possible. Ou such occasions, considerable destruction
frequently ensues, as the birds are often seen huddled together, and
many thus fall 'joints to a single discharge as they sit on the snow.
On the lint of next month (February) the season for shooting
partridges and pheasants will close, leaving a mere than ordinary
residue of the latter, perhaps, in consequence of the general and
continued wetness of the season. In the latter end of the mouth
of August, the lower grounds in the neighbourhood of Altcar, -

and appeared as if they Were terrified at the inundation, as in Ly-
diate (an adjoining township) sixteen brace were killed by two per-
sons, upon a small spate of ground—the birds lay like sallies; nor
was it without difficulty that many of them were forced on the wing.
