FOX HUNTING.

The Linlithgow and Stirfingshire Hounds are now hunting within
teach of Edinburgh, after having been in the west of Stirling and
Fife and Clackmannandaires, where they bad very good sport. On
their Om day in t►is neighbourhood they met at liantarrie, where
they found immediately a brace of loxes, and ran one to ground in
a drain near Hopetoun, after a sharp burst. They found again in
Hopetoun-wood, and again ran bins to a drain. After trying 'tome
other coverts, Demirele was again drawn. and a fox went away
immediately, and was run to ground to some rabbit holes at Dundas
Hill. This was a trying day for the hounds, but they behaved ad.
:nimbly, and on the whole the horses had some sharp work. On
the second day, the hounds, after trying Barntoa Park, found im.
mediately in Corstorphlne Hill, and after a great deal of cold hunt-
ing, it was suppmed the fox was drowned iu the river near Cra.
mond-bridge, which be was seen to enter, but never afterwards, nor
could the bounds again bit off the seem on either beak. On Cragie.
kill being drawn afterwards, several foxes were on foot, but un-
willing to break; one was, however, seen making fee Lord Rote-
berry's Park, but before the hounds could be laid ou, the scent bad
failed, and whir.' could be made of it. On the third day the
bounds killed a brace of foxes at Bowden, ringing week, and not
much ►port. On the fourth day they met at itavelsig, and drew
towards Norton, blank. On the fifth day they met at Armada!,
Toli-bar, and killed a fox without much running, at Craigshill ;
they then tried towards the Inch, where they found immediately
and killed, after running the fox for at least half an boar, a racing
ring through all the clumps. (In the sixth day they met at Wail
►ouse, and timid live or six fuze., and alter running a long time in
covert killed one, during which rinse two had ►roke over a an.
country, but were gone too far before it was known. The bounds
found again, but were obliged to be taken away, as the scant, from
the storminess of the day, was vs ry bad, and the covert was entirely
foiled with previous sunning. On the seventh day, Thursday, the
hounds met at Linlithgow Bridge, where they immediately found
and killed in covert ; while racing their lot two more were viewed
in the banks, and the hounds, homing beautifully among the rocks,
ran them across the river, when they troth broke together, and were
run to ground in some unknown earths about a silk Culotte.
Kirseil wood was then drawn, from whence they ran a fax to Lin-
lithgow Bridge covert, and back to Kineil House, under which he
found safety in a drain. Paddock Hall covert was then drawn,
frum which, after a sharp burst, a Hoz rat to a drain at Carideo;
being bolted, be was run to another drain, but being again bolted, be
worms into after a short scurry.—Edirabeirgh Evening Cusront.
