HARKAWAY,

The following humorous sketch will be
relished particularly by the lovers of the
turf, ard, at the same time, be very accep-
table to the general reader. 1t is from
the pen of Mr.. Mills, the author of " The
Queens Stag hounds" 1.-THE Favourite
Maid of Honour" and other light and a.
musing papers, which have been commu.
nicated to the Mirror, and extensively co.
pied, not only in this country but in Great
Britain. "The Exquisite at Cover" is ex.
tracted from work now in preparation
called " Harkaway, or Brushes of the
Flood and Field" which we feel coniden
will be exceedingly popular with the ad
mirers of the chase, and with the public a
large.
