nothing contributed so much to the securing of a green
old age as the pursuit of so manly a sport. (Continued
cheers.) It was better that life should wear away than that
it should rust away ; and in the course of those tew enjoy-
ments which man could enjoy, nothing contributed more
to the maintenance of health as horse exercise, because it
was exercise without fatigue. (Loud cheers.) The wor-

Sir Wm. STANLMY rose to respond, and was greeted
with renewed cheers. Would that he were gifted with
eloquence, or that he had the command of words to ex-

press in proper language the feelings that he then pos-
sessed. (A pplause ) The sumptuous entertainment they
had that evening given him was wholly unexpected, and
he felt happy to find that during the four years he had
been roaster of the hounds his conduct had met with their
approbation. (Continued applause.) And so long as he

continued to keep the hounds he should be happy to see
his friends from both sides of the Mersey attending the

have taken in the management of the hounds would have
proved perfectly useleis had he not been supported by the

landell proprietors of the hundred of 'Wirral. (Loud
cheers.) To those gentlemen, they in common with him-

(Cheers.) Before he sat down he hoped they would al-

bringing up his sons in the same way. (Cheers.) He

propnee the health of the Chairman, with many thanks to
him for the manner in which he had proposed his (Sir
William's) health, and he assured him that the day was
far dis•ant when he should forget the gratifying proceed-
ings of that evening.
The toast was drank with three times three.

The CHAIRMAN said, before he proceeded to return
thanks for the handsome manner in which they had drank
his health, he begged to explain bow he came to be placed
in the position he was--a situation which he did not feel
himself entitled to fill. An excellent friend of his, a
true sportsman, Colonel Glegg, had promised to preside
over them, but a severe and unexpected attack of indis-
position, though he (the Chairman) honed it would not
prove of long duration, had prevented him. (Hear, hear.)
No one regretted the absence of the gallant colonel more
than he (the Chairman,) for he felt be had not sufficient

mark of approval of his conduct as far as hunting the
hounds was concerned. It was extremely difficult to

he could give promise of many foxes for that which was
to come, and they had a pack of hounds which was likely
