THE FIELD. 
[Saturday, 
ESSKX UNION FOXHOUNDS. 
It i' with no ordinary pleasure that' wo are about to 
record one of the finest runs ofjthe season with this well- 
manac'd pack of flv- 
thong caused them to settle' upon their hunted fox, who, 
forced to fly again, took a line to Cock-wood, over the 
road, leaving Downham Church to the left, on towards 
ers. On Wednesday 
last, the meet was 
•t South Ilanningfield 
Tye, the first draw 
being Well-wood, and 
no sooner were hounds 
thrown into cover, 
than one of the right 
sort broke, pointing 
for Pandam. Unfor- 
tunately, however, he 
was Leaded short 
back ; but, without 
hanging for a moment, 
away he went through 
Well-wood for Flem- 
ing's, on to Moor- 
gardens, where seve- 
ral foxes divided the 
hounds. Upon a fresh 
one they at length 
settled, w ho took them 
back to Well-wood ; 
but proving an artful 
dodger, the Squire de- 
termined to stop them, 
and try back for the 
first fox. Trotting 
along for a couple of 
m'.les, and picking his 
liae coldly and pa- 
tiently over some 
heavy wet fallows, the 
scent began to im- 
prove as we came 
across the open to 
itatnsden Belihouse 
Church. The hounds 
now began to get their 
heads up, as the scent 
became better every 
yard, and rattled away 
for Gray’s-hill, turn- 
ing to the left for 
Wiekford, on to Run- 
well. back to Moor- 
gardens. Bang he went 
through the cover, on 
to Fleming’s, where 
he gave himself to 
view; but being head- | 
ed by some dashing 
rond-rUhrs , he again 
tried for security and retreat. A change of foxes now i 
threatened to mar the sport, but halloo, horn, and double | 
ing for the gorse at Rettendon, straight over the road 
to South Hanningfield Church, where he threatened to 
beat us, from another fox having crossed the line. The 
^ check began to look 
“ TEN THOUSAND,” A FRENCH MERINO SHEEP. 
Prod by S. W. Jewitt, of Middlebury, Vermont- A first prize animal at the Vermont State Show, at Montpelier, in September, 1853. 
Mims. V. Gilbert, of Niddevillo, Seine et Oize, France, is the “Bakewell ” of that Empire. He has produced a sheep from the original 
Spanish that combines both wool and mutton qualities. 
The weight of many of them Is from 250 to over 300 pounds, and they yield from 12 to 25 pounds if wool, iqiuljto tiic best Spanish merino. 
These sliecp bear from 500 francs to 3,000 francs the single animal, 
serious, when Will’s, 
judicious cast made 
them down with their 
sterns again on to 
Iloundon -wood, short 
to the left of Pandam. 
Here he stopped as 
long as he dare ; but 
being too hot to stay 
a moment longer, 
tried for what Well- 
wood would do for 
liim, through which 
he was pressed to 
Fleming’s, and then, 
fairly beaten, from 
scent to view they 
ran him, and down he 
came in the open. 
Well may it be said 
that the gallant pack 
deserved their fox 
after a fine hunt- 
ing run over as heavy 
and difficult a coun- 
try tis hounds ever 
crossed, of three 
hours and a quarter 
by “Shrewsbury 
clock,” racing him 
when the ground 
would let them, and 
hunting him, inch by 
inch, when it would 
not. Considering the 
many difficulties which 
had to be contended 
with, the run was all 
that could be desired 
from the find to the 
finish, and reflected 
the greatest credit up- 
on masters, servants, 
and hounds. As one 
of the best sportsmen 
in the county observed, 
“ They showed what 
they could do with 
every kind of obsta- 
cle.” We hope to re- 
cord before long a run 
without some which 
were needlessly pre- 
Wickford, back to Moor-gardens. Disdaining, however, [ sented by our friends on the road. The brush was pre- 
to enter the cover, he skirted it a little to the right, bear- | sented to a gentleman belonging to the South Essex Hunt.
