was favourable in the extreme; and the only drawback was the
scarcity of hares, which occasioned several matches en the third day
to go off. The best courses were those for the Cup, which was
admirably contested. On the last day, Mr. Edwards's Zitella,
winner of the. Novinsber Cup, broke her leg while running her
match with Mr. Redhead's Lively.—The Duke of Gordon, Lord

'FIELD SPORTS FOR MARCH.
PROM 7/111 "ANNALS or SPORTING."
Whilst other sports (of which we have spoken below) cease with
February, Fox•hunting, certainly the most spirited, the most in-
ching of any, will still continue in its might and glory. In some
parts of the country—we may instance the New Forest in particular
—the mustering of red coati'vrill be even more imposing than, up
to this period, they have been; whilst in east, and west, and north,
and south, the hunting with horn, steed, and hound, will still enable
us to make vuluable our pages with records, gleaned on the spot,of
their occurrence of brilliant runs and spirited performances.
The season has altogether been favourable to fox bunters. We
mean foxes have been found in abundance ; the number killed have
sufficiently attested the quality of our leading kennels, and but little
frost has occurred to stay the operations of the chase.
Coursing will, or should now cease. The hares, we have no
doubt, are in a forward state of gestation, and we cannot call that
fieldsman a courser who, Tor the sake of the ridiculous and anti.
ate " March hare," would-risk the destruc-
tqiunnnd boa

The shooter's occupation is now very considerably narrowed ;
indeed, in our estimation, the better portion of his pastime is for a
few months passed away. Wild fowl shooting, mud boots, swampy
countries, and the like, we are not particularly partial to; still
every one to his taste has always been and shall continue to be our
motto, and so we wish good diversion to every shooter, whatever
be the object, provided it be legitimate, at which he levels the
" deadly tube.
Stag-bunting, like fox-hunting, will continue to call " many good
fellows out," as well as to prove our industry
in collating particulars
of the leading runs to which it gives rise. In fact, we may still say,
as to field-sports generally, in the language of Claudia",
Still foe bold spirits there's a glotious field,
Which health and humour (cheering gifts) must yield.
