confident about accomplishing this a,du us enter-
prise, that his friends at present are takilg all the
odds; he has the appointing of the ground him.elf,
which is not yet fixed upon, but he went to Black-

A buck, a few days ago, was turned nut near the
Race-hill, at Brighton ; but the sport he afforded
was undeserving of mention. Another, on Thurs.
day, was turned out before the Duke of NORFuLlell
hounds, near Aruad2l, which gave more diversion,
the field being numerously attended. The subscrip.
tion pack of harriers were in the enjoyment of some
brisk sport on Friday. There were fifty-one well
mounted horsemen in the fiAd. Five hares were run
hard in the course of the thy, three of which yiel
up their lives to their staunch pursinTs, and two es-
caped. Many of the horses, in the end, were
knocked up.
Cuntous Fox HUNT—Saturday se'nnight thehour di
belonging to the Newry Hunt started a fox at Ta-
nury. After a short chase, Reynard disappeared,
having cunningly mounted a turf stack, on the top of
which ha lay down flat. Finding himself at last
perceived by one of the hounds, he left his retreat,
closely pursued by the pack. Being again hard
pressed, be ran up a stone ditch, from n iiich he
sprang on the root of an adjoining cabin, am, in not-
ed up to time chimney top. From that elevated si.
tuation he looked all around him, as it cntlsdly re-
connoitering the coming tunny. A cunning old
hound approached, and having gailed the suunnit of
the roof, had already seized the f•lx in imagination,
when lo ! Rt:ynard droprd down the chimney. Tile
dog looked wistfully down the sint' opehing, but
dared not pursue the fusitive. Meantime, whilst
the hound was eagerly inspecting the smo iky orifice
of the chimney, Replan!, half ento!aed in soot, had
fallen into rho lap of an old womin, whoonn rountlc4
by a number of children, was gravely smoking hat
pipe, not at expecting the entrance of this abrupt
visitor. 44 Emiladh eleoud!" said the aflrighted fe-
male, as she threw from her the black red quadruped.
Reynard grinned, growled, and strewed his tangs;
and when the sportsinfi, who had secured the door,
entered, they found him sis p isaeasion of the kitchen,
the old woman and the children hay ng retired, in
terror of the invader, t aft obscu:e corner of the
room. The fox was taken alive.
