THE FIELD. 
[Saturday, 
\ GOOD DAY WITH THE SOUTH DOWN. j side hills of Plumpton, WMtrueston, Ditchliug, Keymer, I lure coppico, near Ditchlincr ; tho pace, which hud tired 
Thb fixture for this pack ou I’riduy, tho 13th inst., was | and Clayton were run a “ burster.” Passing through tho | horse and hound upon the hill, being continued with equal 
Foyning*s Common. The meet was 
attended by a strong muster of tho 
be-'t known and most influential 
sportsmen of the neighbourhood, 
with a slight sprinkling of ladies, 
whom it was gratifying to see. Shaw 
and Poynins's woods having been 
drawn blank, notice was given that 
a fox had moved off from Newtimber. 
The hounds were immediately taken 
there ; but too late to get ou good 
terms with the “varmint.” Here 
and there the scent was touched 
upon between the low country and 
the liill-sido about tho Dyke, but 
nothing could bo done with it. Tho 
same ill success attended on effort 
made by Brooker, the huntsman, to 
form a closer acquaintanceship witli 
‘‘my gentleman ” in the woods be- 
low the hill. At length, after much 
fruitless drawing and waste of time, 
orders were given for Stunmer-park. 
But here again there was no luck. 
The park yielded nothing ; and the 
neighbouring gorse coverts, one, 
two, and three, were all drawn 
blank. At the fourth covert, near 
Ashcombe, the fortunes of the day 
changed. It was now half-past three 
o’clock. The hounds got drag the 
instant they entered the covert, and 
in five minutes a fox broke. No 
time was lost in getting at him. 
Patience had long lost its restraint 
upon t lie field ; and now all was 
“ hot haste and spleen of speed ’ 
“Now, Don’t *ee, Sir! Don’t ’bo! — You’ll meet wrra an Accident sure-ly. 
Letter give mb a Pint, and I’ll Open the Gate for ’ee.” 
to get a place. The first dash was made towards Mount I Holt, the low country was taken, over the ploughed lands I heartily, with Johnny Gilpin’s ohronicler, 
Harry. Thence, bearing to the left for Novington, the j and meadow fields of Claytou aud Key mor, to the join- I “ May we be there to see." 
severity upon the heavy lauds be- 
low. This eoon began to toll, and 
before Westmoston and Street co- 
verts were reached, the staunch- 
hounds had left tliree-fourtlis of 
the field to their own reflections 
and to the pleasure of getting home 
in any way thoy could. Tho fox 
was now viewed only three minutes 
before tho hounds, going into a 
show; coming to which tho pack 
rattled him up and down for soino 
time, but all of a sudden enmo 
to a fault. Brookor, fearing to 
lose time, as it wns nearly dark, 
drew the hounds. This gave mas- 
ter Reynard tiino to slip out be- 
hind the pack, by which mnsterly 
inancEuvre lio saved his brush ; 
for although on coming back the 
bounds bit him off towards tho 
north, and carried the scent gal- 
lantly over five or six fields, in 
the direction of Black Brook wood, 
they wore unablo to coine up with 
him ; and as it was now past five 
o’clock and twilight, with tired 
horses and weary hounds, defeat 
was acknowledged, and tho horn 
soundod to whip off, to the di- 
minished number of seven or eight 
only of the one hundred and fifty 
gallant horsemen who met that 
morning. A belter run than this 
has not occurred in tho South 
Down country for many’ a day ; 
and when another occurs, wo say 
Challenger.

THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY LANE— 
-I Mr E T. Smith, Lessee, has the honour to announce a continua 
non of the hlghly-successfu! Wednesday Morning Performances. In 
doing v> he most earnestly acknowledges the unprecedented favour 
with which his efforts have been received. Identical with the novelty 
of throwing the doors of Old Drury open to the public in the day-time. 
In doing so Mr. Smith imagined other theatrical managers would try 
the experiment, and in that anticipation he has not been disappointed. 
TJie public Press has pronounced the Drury Lane Pantomime the best 
produced for thirty years, and that opinion has been confirmed by the 
very best critics upon such entertainments, namely, the juveniles, who 
pave by day and night crowded every part of the house, while the 
building vibrated with their plaudits. The notion of Introducing a 
pantomime in the afternoon was and still remains a patent one ; the 
extensive stage of Drury Lane Theatre defying Its invasion as far as 
i'IC. \ c ” n ^ or ? el,hc ! ln Pantomime or spectacle. Mr. Smith 
further begs to intimate, that although money has been turned away 
from the doors on every ocension «r *i.«. .......... .„.i :
