hunt occasionally with the Southdown Foxhounds and 

 the Brighton Harriers, the former of which are an 

 exceedingly good pack of hounds, being kennelled at 

 Ringmer, near Lewes, under the management of Mr. 

 Streatfield, who is a popular Master, always desirous 

 of showing sport. The huntsman, George Champion, 

 who has hunted this pack for the last twenty years, 

 is an energetic man and thorough good sportsman, 

 who takes a great pride in keeping up the quality and 

 condition of the hounds under his charge. Whilst 

 the Brighton Harriers, of which Mr. Dewe is Master, 

 are a clipping good lot ; e^ery hound being a draft 

 from some well known kennel of foxhounds, and being 

 entered to hare now, show excellent sport, compelling 

 the hares to run straight and go the pace, if they 

 mean to escape from their eager jaws. As I hope 

 very shortly to have a gallop with both of these packs, 

 I will defer further comment until I have ridden as 

 near their tails as I can, across the wide tract of land 

 over which they hunt. 



During my rambles through Brighton I chanced to 

 call in at the photographic establishment of Messrs. 

 Hennah and Kent, in the King's Road, where I saw a 

 portrait of Admiral Rous, the last that was ever taken 

 of this celebrated handicapper and supporter of the 

 Turf. It is a life-like and beautifully executed work 

 of art, and it will be a matter of interest to many to 

 hear that in consequence of the demand for copies 

 from the friends and admirers of the deceased Admiral, 

 it has been lithographed, so that Messrs Hennah and 

 Kent may be able to respond to the many requests for 

 a last memorial of this celebrated and popular 

 character.
