A FOX CHASE.
The East Susses Fox Hounds, and a staunch and well trained
pack it is, with a numerous field, met and presently unkenneled a
sturdy member of the brush tribe, in Warreogore Wood, which
broke cover in beautiful style, affording a burst for nearly two miles,
that gladdened the hearts of the sportsmen, 111 as numb as it pro-
mised an eventful cbase of no ordinary severity and liengtb. Rey-
nerd thradled the covet of Sir George Shifter, Bart. very neatly,
and seemed quits conhdent that his Situates, backed by pensive.
ranee, were amply sufficient for the protection of his life, and so.
they might have been,kad int his evil fate conducted him mamma
imprisoned him in the deep chalk pit at Offhain ; where, finding iii
retreat cut off, be made an attempt to scale the perpe
side of the chalky excavation, and partially succeeded. He
about four-fifths of his way to the frightful summit, where, upon 11'1
projecting ridge of the soil, be caved in comparative security. The
dogs, on entering the pit, were soon at fault, and reynard for some
tieso, was invisible to his pursuers; but in the end, the testing place
he bad so vigorously and gallantly secured, was .diewsiered ; and
what was the result ?—were the dogs called off, and liberty restored
to the captive, to afford more di't talon in a struggle for dear life ?
No, missiles weie employed in all directions against him; until his
shelter became no longer testable, when, making a last desperate
effort to spring to the margin of the precipice, he failed in his ob-
ject, and fell with a cry, the only one he uttered, to the depth of
about forty feet, into the centre rat the pack ,which tore him in piece-
meal/ and devoured his scattered remain.. An old sportsman, as
he relied from the grounkobserved, that bunting had ever been
bid favourite amusement, but that ratter than again be present to
see a good fox so inconsiderately murdered, he would forego the
exercise altogether.
