SPORTING.

THe Cnsca.--Satitrday morning his MAJESTY,
attended by General MANN E RS, rode to Afcot'
Heath, and there met the Earl of SANDWICH, and
a numerous field of Gentlemen fportfmen. A t
half pall ten the Royal Deer was turned out of
the cart for the day's diverfinn. At firft letting
off, the deer ran with great fwiltnefs actors Arcot
Race ground, through Sunning Hill Bogs, by
Rings' Beach Hill, towards Bagfhot ; taking to
the right by Tower Hill and Csfar's Camp, he
was taken in a farm yard, by Eafthamftead Park,
after a run of nearly two hours. The day being
very warm, the hounds and the deer were fo ,
much tired, they could not have ran much farther.
This deer was taken in the very fame farm ground
where he was laft hunted. The day's !tort was
very grand.
Coos siwc.—The long expefted great match,
Colonel THORNTON'S/WV'', againil Mr.Dunawn's
bitch, took place on the zsth inft. (as briefly Rated
in this Paper on Saturday). The following is a
more ample account :
Mr. DURAND'S houfe had been named as the
place of meeting, and Epfom for the Colonel and
hi, friends; but intimation having been given by
Mr. D. tc the Colonel, that the multitude of people
would be too great to hope for any trial or fport,
Carffalton was named and approved by Colonel
THOwN TON. _ _

At eleven on Friday, the company, with Mr.
Dv It•t4D, met Colonel THORNTON and his friends
on Sutton Heights. Several carriages with ladies
graced the fcene. The day was brilliant. About
Soo horfe, all well mounted, drew together.
Two brace of greyhoundhinblueand buff (beets,
were led from the carriage (chaife marine), and
finally Major, lbeeted in rich buff colour, on the
right fide ernbellifited and embroidered with the
armorial bearings of the family of THORNTON ; on
the left, richly embroidered in letters of gold, was
feen 4, Major, aid at frku ultra." The dog of known
fame, The Hero of the North, was (ripped ; he ap-
peared in good condition, gay as a lark (although
eleven years old) ; but he was admitted by,die
Colonel to be too fat, not having had a run for
Come months, except a courfe ar two, which, from
the politenefs of Mr. Moms Amos BURGOYNE, he
had at Mark Hall.

Mr. Down came forward, and bandfomely
acknowledged the forfeit ; he laid a box hare was
ready; the company wifhed to fee Major run, and
with him a lively little bitch of the Colonel's.—
The hare bad about two hundred and fifty yards
-law, and, from a blunder of Mr. D. Sures, the
bitch had one hundred yards advantage over Ma-
jcr. The odds were that they never turn her, the
Colonel offered to take them; in a few hundred
vards the bitch, which gained ground, got up to
her, and foon after Major got in, they turned her
alternately, when Major threw himfelf at lean five
yards at her, and killed her.
&coma Couasa—Phantafinazeria and the fame
black bitch were turned down, and bets were pro.
poled on the hare againft the dogs, the Colonel
offered to back the dogs, none would accept. Al-
tcr trying a little time, a hare was fluted, the
contell between the dogs and bare was very great,
when Phanoifinagoria threw her up.
The next courfe of confequence was a trial of
Maj7r and the black bitch: a hare had finlen away
and was not intended to be run (the company all
ailing like fportfmen), and the hare was a full
mile off, when a ruffian, in a (mock frock, with
the lungs of a Stentor, loon took away the dogs.
!The bitch, catching a fight of her, as the afcended
hill, got up to her, and played away, turning
her. Mr. lisaunoar alto had paffed the comps.
ny, like an arrow, laid in Major ; the dogs, from
the feverity of the courfe, and heat of the day,
and no water, were nearly exhaufted, when Major
threw himfelifull fevers yards at her, caught her,
and lay for dead, the hare got away, leaving a
great part of her !kin, and got into a hedge, the
bitch topt the hedgc full (even feet, the hare did
not croft, but had crept down the ditch and died.
The bitch, to fare her life, was bled, and with
difficulty recovered. This courfe was full three
miles.

The lark courfe was then defired to end the day
with Phatelafarapria and SaperaaltaraGa, who had a
very fivers cowrie while running, and the com-
pany divided. A hare flatted near the Colonel's
greyhounds, when Staloraitria ( a whelp' by
Pharstafwagoria, and out of Carra, filler to Clara
and Csarini) broke his couples, and in (beets ran
to clofely that he killed her, after many turns, to
the anoniniment of all fportfmen prefent.
Thus ended, to the fatisfaltion of all pairs, the
Surrey Courting. The company dined together
at the Greyhound, at Cadh.4lton, and paned at a
reafonable hour. Mr. BE umomr, who lcd the
'field on a Jupiter borfe of the Colonel'', in attempt-
ing to take the fecoad hare from 410 jor, Era and
hart hinfelf very mach.
