On Tuesday this most important event commenced, on the
excellent ground at Altcar, which the Earl of Sefton gene-
rously granted for the purpose. The weather during the
whole day was delightfully fine for the season, though the
wind during some parts of the day was rather high. The
runs, in many instances, were very keen, but we shall only
notice one or two of the most severe. There was a very
numerous company on the ground throughout the day. That
between Stiletto and Bella was of great length and severity,
and fully tested the merits of both dogs. Barrier and Queen
Bee—the celebrated Queen. Bee—also ran a long course,
though not so severe as the last, but decidedly in favour of
the dog. Holdfast and Carmelite were started for a very fine
hare, but got unsighted, and, on being put into the slips
again, ran an undecided course, after which Holdfast won
very cleverly. That between Rufus and Velocipede was very
severe, and ended in the defeat of Mrs. .Vicker's dog. Mrs.
V. was on the ground, and brought her favourite to the
slipper herself.. One of the severest runs of the day was be-
teen Sultan and Maiden Queen, the hare running into a
garden, which ended the course; pussey: however, got out
again, and was followed by the dog single-handed. The
course between Knab and. Kirkham was a splendid one, and
decidedly in favour of the little Newmarket bitch, who re-
ceived an awkward tumble, hut immediately went up and
passed her opponent. There were two other undecided
events between Lady and the Queen of Hearts, and Tyrant
and Minerva. The ties for. the Waterloo purse, and the
second ties for the cup were run off near the Hill-house,
where some good hares were found. In the cup ties the
courses were all excellent, especially that between Priam and
Knab, which was won from first to last by Priam, who did
all the work and killed the hare, after a very long run.
