THE FIELD. 
RUN WITH THE BROOKSIDE HARRIERS. 
This pack met ou Monday, tho 16th instant, at New- 
market Ilill. The first hare, allowing no disposition to “ go 
un-ay ” with the usual pluck of tho hares bred upon the 
lulls, was very soon given up, — the Brookside never caring 
to waste time by pottering about 
it few gorse coverts iu pursuit of 
a Imre that wont run. A second 
hare was speedily found, at a place 
• .tiled tho Old Wall, nud it was soon 
discovered that she, at least, had a 
*nice of the true stuff in her. 
Slipping away to lford Bushes, she 
skirted them to Hervey Stone, cross- 
ing the Balsdean ploughed lands to 
• he Host lull road, which she run to 
the top, and then turned to the left 
for Balsdean Flat and the Now 
Burn Rape. Hero the hounds drove 
her “ a-vievv ” to the Height, whence 
she again made for lford Bushos and 
and Hervey Stone; but tho pursuit 
grew too hot and too closo to admit 
of any further doublings. Onward, 
therefore, she fled to Broadpit, over 
the Swanborough and Kingston 
Middle Hills, and down the Cold 
Combes to the railway, along tho 
line of which she run 10 the Ash- 
coinbe Side Ilill enclosures, through 
the Hospital field, and under the 
railway arches to the Houndcnn 
cottages. Here the pace and the 
distance she hod run over compelled 
pnss to tarry n moment; but tho 
hounds being close upon her, sho 
got up again in view, and wus almost 
immediately run inio and killed. 
The chase was fast at the commence- 
ment, hut slower, with good hunting, 
to the finish. The great run of the 
day was to follow. Mr. Saxby, tho 
well known gentleman by whom 
this pack is hunted, took his hounds back again to the Old 
Walls, under the Height. At ibis time a dense fog hud 
come on, in The midst of which, however, a hare jumped 
up and went away as if she meant it. It wns soon found 
iliat 6he did mean it. With a burning scent, the hounds 
pursued her to Rottingdean Camp, and thence drove her, 
in a half circle, back to tho spot from which she started, 
where, running with perfect madness, they seemed to be 
closo upon her. But it was not ten : “ my lady ” was not 
ynt caught. Dashing away over the Honeysuckles, she flew 
at a splitting pace over Youensmcro and Pardule to Bals- 
dean Pond ; thence sho continued to the Bullock Hill, 
Norton Bottom, aud the Shoot, where, making a short 
curve, sho returned to the Bullock Ilill and dipped into 
Norton Walled Fields. Here, however, she did not rest for 
a single moment. Running up the steep bank, and over 
the Castle ploughed lands, sho gallantly sped her way t 0 
Swanborough Middle Brow, and through Kingston Sheep- 
house bottom, into tho Cold Combes. To this point tho 
scout was breast-high, and the pace terrific, three horses 
only — mounted by Messrs. Charles 
Beard, Monk, and John Farncombo 
— living with the hounds. A flock 
of sheep now brought them to a 
momentary check. In tho absence of 
the huntsman they were hurriedly 
drawn round tho sheep stain, and 
almost immediately hit the scent 
again beyond the flock. At a some- 
what slower pace, they now went 
i or ward to Nan Kemp’s Gruvo and 
the Ashcombo enclosed fields, post 
tho Six Sweep Mill to tho Kingston 
open lands, facing tho stream and 
brooks, and down to the edge of the 
Southover railway. Hero the old 
hounds, pressing to tho front, told 
the experienced “throe” who con- 
stituted “ tho field,” that the gaino 
was not lar before them. This was 
soon proved by the pack turning 
into an open gateway, near to Love 
Lane, and almost immediately run- 
ning from scent to view. In this 
order the chase was continued to the 
Two Mills, down the hill again to 
Southover, and back to the road by 
the Brooks, where the pack ran up 
to the gallant hare and killed her 
in tho open, after as brilliant a run 
as any lover of sport could desire, or 
any blood or bone could follow. 
Much regret was felt that Mr. Saxby 
and the greater part of the field were 
thrown out at tho commencement, 
and were not ugain seen during any 
part of the run. This was, without 
doubt, the sharpest and most severe 
thing of the season ; but no adequate idea can be formed 
of it, except by those who are thoroughly acquainted 
with the magnificent but formidable character of tho 
country run over. Such a day has seldom occurred in 
any season or with any hounds. Challenger.

Mr. E. T. Smith, Lessee, has the honour to announce the appear- 
ance of the above-named eminent actor ns Ur ulus, in the FALL OF 
TARQUIN, for Monday night, January 30th, 1854. Mr. Smith feels 
hat ho may anticipate an overflowing audience to hail and welcome 
Mr. Brooke. The successes of that gentleman during his provincial 
:our have given a deeper impression to the stamp of public approbation 
which greeted ills triumphs in tlic dramatic art during the past season 
n the metropolis. Municipal authorities have convened meetings 
:o solicit his longer stay; and, to do honour to his g-nius, garlands 
from the fairest hands have been strewn before him. converting the 
actor's progress, which is usually described ns a lied of thorns, into a 
path of flowers. Flattering indeed to Mr. Brooke must have been 
these demonstrations, yet Mr. Smith ventures to anticipate that the 
crowning nnd clustering roses in the chaplet of this favoured son of 
Melpomene are reserved in the hands of the London public, to greet 
and welcome him on Monday evening next. Private boxes and places 
are booking, and Mr. Smith, therefore, respectfully suggests early 
application to the box-office to avoid disappointment.
