GRAND STAG HUNT.
eIIifLTYNNA.74, Dec. 7.—The first day's sport of stag hunting
took place this morning, under the excellent management of our
much esteemed and respected residents, J. 11. Peel, Bel. and W.
flit, Esq. The morning was rather unfavourable, Owing to its
tieing foggy, but about eleven o'clock the weather became quite
clear. A numerous field of sportsmen had assembled, together
with about twenty carriages filled with Ladies who were anxious
to see the stag turned out, and the whole appearance of the scene
was very animating. On the signal being given the stag was tamed
out on the high ground leading to Northleach, and the hounds, after
a few momenta' run, being laid on the scent, a severe ma 0f.55 mi-
nutes took place over the inclo leading to Stow, the Stag
bounding in the finest style over the interposing fences, until, in
endeavouring to take a five feet wall from a swampy. piece of
ground, it broke both its legs, thusaerminating a run of great wee-
thy. %TWA. had, it listed many minutes more, would have made
severe examples of most of the horses, who were already exceed-
they diitressed. Captain Cregoe and Mr. Davies. OD thoroughbred
hams, had decidedly the best place throughout the run. It is in-
tended to have a stag hunting in this neighbourhood twice a week.
We had a brilliant day's sport with the Duke of Beanfort's
hounds on Friday last.
