ROYAL HUNT.
Friisy morning, about ten o'clock, his Mayrtres stag-
hounds started a remarkably fine deer for a day's diversion, on
Maidenhead Folly. The deer, at first setting off, ran with great
swiftness through the enclosures, towards Braywick, where being
closely pursued, he swam across the Thames, into Buckingham-
shire. The sportsmen and hounds proceeded along Maidenhead
Bridge, and renewed their pursuit of the deer along the Bath-
road to the right of Burnham, where be took towards the Thames
again, and crossed the river between Surley HaH and Clewer.-
1 he sportsmen and hounds pursued with all possible speed through
Eton, along the bridge through Windsor, and renewed the chase
towards the Forest, where the deer was taken.
PIGEON MATCH FOR TWO HUNDRED GUINEAS.
A Sweepstakes Pigeon Match, between eleven shots of Buck-
inghamshire and eleven of Hants, for the above sum, took place
on Monday, on Fareham Downs, Ilerks, which excited much
sporting interest. The birds were well on the wing they were
sprung at 21 yards from the gun charge unlimited. Each had
15 birds. Hants killed 112, Bucks 118 ; the latter consequently
won by six birds. A second match followed for ten guineas
each, at seven birds each, between two of Hants and two of
Bucks, in which Hants killed 10 out of their 14. and Bucks 11.
Bucks therefore won both snatches, although Hants was backed
at six to four.

SPARRING. 1
The Five's Court was numerously attended yesterday. The
grand attraction was Neat, who was expected to thew upon the.
occasion. He set-to with Toni Belcher, and appeared in excel-
lent condition, and much improved in quickness and science.—
, The other set-to's presented nothing novel or remarkable. H7ek-
.
mon was present, but did not exhibit. On a general call for him
after Neat and Tom Belcher had kit the stage, it was announced
dial the Gas was gone out for the evening.
