MARGATR, JULT 31.

The long-expetted Pig-hunt took place yelterday
evening nn the Strand, and afforded very high gratifi-
cation to an immenfe concourfe of fpeltators. At fix
o'clock a flag was difplayed on a Rand erefted for the
occafion, which quickly affembled the S tvinifh multi-
tude, and crowded the pier, balconies, windows, and
heights, which commanded .a view of the hunting.
ground, with our fathionables. All was expedatton
and anxiety till the waving of the flag communicated
the grateful intelligence that the pig had arrived at
Wood's, and might be viewed for an hoar. Huzzas,
hnflle, and cons-1410n, immediately enfued. The.
Arens and the fwift paid no regard to the feeble and
flow, but made the belt of their way in ever.), direc-
tion. The Gentlemen, however, were difappointed,
and the Ladies only were permitted to take a peep at
the little pig. Here it is neceffary to Ohne, that this
animal's pedigree can be traced for generations, even
up to its illultrious anceflor fent from the EaQ Indies
to Mr. F,,z, when he did us the honour to live in our
tile. The breed is !mall and flender, and particu-
larly remarkable for having a (trait tail, with a turn
set its extremity. The curiofity of thok who wanted
to get in was heightened by Aloft coming out, who
contlantly exclaimed, *O, the fweet pretty pig, what
a little fanny tail !" Eight o'clock at length arrived,
when the multitude was formed into two Naas, of.
coaliderable depth and great lengtb,with (pace enough
between them for twelve men, dreffed in cheek thirts
!Ind white trowfers, to purfue the pig, which was to
be won by him who could hold the tail, well limped,
and give the little animal a fummerfet call over his
thoulder. Acclamations of joy rent the air when
the prize was led to the ground, and continued till it
Darted, when the molt boillerous uproar commenc-
ed, and the ,ranks were broken. such flsouting,
tumbling, crying, and bawling, were never before
Peen or heard at Margate, but all to no effelt, for the
pig outilripped its purfuers, and made towards the
water, ea it on purpote to have hundreds rolled inthe
mud. and nearly fuffocated by others, who could not
help falling over them, fo eager and ardent was the
contention. Suddenly, however, it wheeled about,
and darted through them, noiing and fqueakin at
every effort made to rofs it, but in vain, till a ralping
blacklmith tried, and proved fuccefsful. Our num-
bers are increafing, and all the public amufements
well attended.

Some of onr politicians have proved themfelves
such outragenns patriots, as even to hint at the pro-
priety of retaining the capital prizes in our State
Lotteries among ourfelves, by prohibiting the file of
Tickets to fubjeds of nations war with us. We,
on the contrary, are of opinion that, as we (offer them
to sake fo few prizes, we certainly fboald indulge
them with the privilege of isorbefing force.
