IXTRAORDtNARY FOX CHASE
' Lord Kiltoun's hounds threw of at Hanuingtrin' near High.
[worth, on Saturday sennight, and immediately found a fox, which
aimed the vale to Water Eaton, then doubled back to Hanningtoo,
Berrytown, and shining Staunton, wade direct for Senningtos I
being here bud pressed, lie crossed tie water for Stain 'a Wick
Cover. But here he was not allowed to rest ; fur five couple of
staunch hounds stuck close to his brook leaving the remainder at
the brook. He then made right ahead for 1/6ngton wood, where
he arrived ha safety, the earths bring open. The chase lasted awe
hours and 20 minutes, without a check, over a heavy country of 10
milts. Lord Kiltoun rode three horses, and oat of ISO horsemen
only ten were up with the leading hounds when Reynard arrived
home. One extraordinary circumstance occurred. Richard
Strange, Esq. rode *is favourite hunter at the brook ; the horse
when on the bank/found it impossible to clear it; and, unable to
recede, was under he necessity of going in. Mr. Strange had the
presence of mind take hold of the branches of a willow tree over
his bead, and sli ing from his stirrups, arrived on terra firma in
safety. Mama took same of the most daring leaps ever re-
collected bf the most experienced sportsmen.
Wednesday, the 6th instant, the Duke of Rutland's hounds
started a fox in the lordship of ranby, in the vale of Belvoir, and
after a severe run of more than an hour, Rryuard (on his return
home, being hard presaed,) entered the village of Barnston. near
Bingham, where, mounting some cora ricks, he gained summit of a
pretty high farm house, and descended a chimney, into a parlour,
through the window of which he was seen viewing his pursuers
Upon the inmates of the house endeavouring to eject him from the ,
apartment of which he had so unteremomiously taken possession, he
set their efforts for that purpose at defiance, and of his own choice
partly ascended the sable passage down which he had so recently
made his Ingress into the dwelling, and finding a loolLement therein,
be bellied all the arts which could be devised to dispbce him from
kis new station, and some straw was set on fire at the bottom of the
shaft, when he, poor fellow, who seemed proof against soot and dust,
acknowledged that he was not proof against smoke, as he reluct-
antly came down from his hold, and being seized by the huntsman,
he was carried into the yard, and thrown amongst the hounds,
amidst a very large assemblage of equestrians and pedestrians,
noble and ignoble. The death halloo of the huntsmen, the barking
of the hounds' and the shouts, the screams, and the groans of the
mixed multitude, were distinctly heard at Wharton, a distance of
nearly three miles.
