THREE sold REDS CAUGHT IN ONE DAY WITHIN
AMILE OF OTTAWA
Last Monday morning w. X. Millgan, OF Farm
Ridge started for the Illinois river hills with his
fayorite and perhaps the finest bred fox hounds
in the United States, in quest of tabled Reynard.
Having reached the hunting grounds half mile
east of South Ottawa, the melodiouS baying of
old "Trueboy" announced sthc striking Of Il
trail. In few moments Reynard was bounced.
Ranter, the feetest hound that ever chased
red" was;in the lead, while close behind follow
ed his mates belching forth such celestial music
as the hills and caverns love to echo back. After
running perhaps two hours Rcynard, thinking
that discretion was the better part of yaior,
"hOled." The hunters coming up and removing
some distractions, their "Girant pup entered
Reynard's domicile and brought him forth, Civ
ing him somewhat embracing and atfectonatc
introduction to his mates.
| Foxes being numerous, the couplings were
again pulled from the hounds, which being splen-
did rangers, soon bounced another red" Away
went horse and hound in close pursuit. Such
music as the bayng of those hounds, accom-
panied by the wild halloos of the hunters, was
enough to enliven the dust and rouse the spirit
Of "Nimrod, the mighty hunter"
But alas for Reynard! Death, foul and ugly
to behold" was soon to drop ifes curtain and
close the scenes of his forest life After running
two hours and n half, he, like Il true martyr,
yielded to his fatc--caught on the ground.
Ere the hunters had reached the scene of the
death struggle and secured his brush" the dis
tant baying Of old Trueboy and Little Belle, far
down the river, announced the striking of another
trail. The other hounds being in Il different
direction, and the Grand Theron" fearing they
would not get in the race, sounded his buglc
and yelled with all his might and main; to use
his own expression, he thought his head would
fairly split" calling. Such yclls never disturbed
the beasts of the forest along the Illinois since
the red man sounded his terrible scalp cry
Earth heard the call,-hcr entrails send
From yawning riffs, with many yell"
Fortunately for the "Grandi Theron of old
Peace" the hounds packed, and were coming up
the river. Then all was eXcitcment-eycn the
atceds--
Though faded now, and spent with TOLL
Embossed with foam, and dark with SOIL -
Champed their bits and pressed forward eager
for the chase. This fox proved to be avery large
one-onc of the largest of bis species, measuring
four feet in length and weighing 20 pounds.
After thrrc hours of hard running his strength
began to fail him, and he resorted ohis cunning
tricks, but wherever crafty Reynard went, so
went the noble hounds
"Oer moss and moor, and holt and hill,
His track the steady fox hounds traces
Ger moss and moor, unwearlcd sun,
The Theron Grand" pursued the chasc'-
Until Reynard yielded to the fangs of Rantcr,
and departed from the scenes of his depredatons,

The Mssuuer.yip,

The Masquerade of the Turner's at their hall
on Monday evening last was grand affair." and
in many respects cclipscd all former efforts by
this society. There were more masks than on
any previous occasion. While, perhaps, there
were fewer expensive costumes, there was Il
greater number of characters well represented
than has been seen at any other mask ball in
Ottawa
We have not room to speak of each PERSONS
dress, except in q general way Boss Tweed, in
convict suit and wheclbarrow, by Mr.. Horn, was
good; and Jake Gaul, as the travelling electrician
the street pcddlcr and general nuisance, who
mounts dry goods box and sells some humbug
continuance and the public at the same time
was good character. He wore an immense tin
hat, with windows in it, and Illuminated by a
lighted candle. He carried with him mystic
rious box in which he could get up an Internal
noise, and forming the crowd around him in q
circle, to their establishment he administered tC
them genuine shock from a real electric bat
terry. Jake took the premium, OF course. Mr.
Chrstman took the first premium as an OLD
Duke; and Miss Bridget Grace, pretty and in
telligent young girl, as an old woman, carried
away the highest prize for lady maskcrs. Agri
culture, Commerce, Industry and Justice, per
sonated by Misses Lutz, Geiger and Horn, also
received premiums. There were Italian stree
musicians, bcggars, old women, school girls
dan lies, lords and ladies, clowns, columoncs
old men, circus girls, and all sorts Of monde

him what lord - and he answered The Lore
