where Vanquisher lay basking before the fire in a position 
of tlie greatest ease, “ und consequently 1 may 6ay it was 
his prime, when the meet chanced to be Bushwoud Green, 
which gem-rally brought out a large field of all sort*, but 
many more muff' than uny other kind. One mightsmell the 
smoke of their eigurs for a mile down wind, os they come 
rattling along on old screws, lathering from cur to hock, 
and about as fit to carry men to hounds ns if they had 
already been in their proper place— the copper. 
“Our fir>t draw was Mokwcomb brake, a strong gorse 
cover, which never, in my retncmliram-c, failed to hold a 
fox ; und no ssioncr were hounds at work, than a challenge 
from Vanquisher " — Tom Pitts brought the end of his fore- 
finger to hear point blank upon his favourite, as he paused 
and glanced around — *• than a challenge from Vanquisher,” 
repeated he, raising his voice, “ told us tliut lie was ut home. 
I can hear that throw of his tongue now,” continued the old 
earthstopper, with his eyes glistening beneath their shaggy 
brows; “ hut what was music to me, which I could have 
listened to till now, drove a fine, lengthy, dog-fox through 
the brake as if a rocket was ut his brush. Out lie came 
like u fia-li o' ligli tiling. ‘Tally-ho,’ shrieked a beauty iu 
hoots, before lie wus a dozen yards clear of the cover, and 
back ho headed just us quick. 
“ * I’m not a little surprised, sir,’ said our squire, riding 
closn up to tl»o side of the beauty in boots, ‘ that you should 
trouble yourself by hallooing, i keep three servants to do 
all that kind o' work, and although much indebted for your 
volontury help, I shall be Mill more so by your maintaining 
a strict silence for the rest of the day.’ 
“I don’t think,” continued the ex-whipper-in, “that 
the roughest name I could ha’ called him, or the hardest 
oath I could ha’ used, would have hit the mutf half so hurd 
us our squire's own quiet way ; but mind ye, If his words 
were mild, hi' looks wcie as much the reverse as anything 
well could be.’’ 
“ The hounds now swept in a body from the brake, and some 
o’ the young, flashy dr-vils taking up the scent on the out- 
side, gave us no little trouble to get to their heads, particu- 
larly us some thirty o’ the field spurred up a Juno as hard as 
they could jam to their sterns. Stopped and turned, but 
with a good deal o’ time lost, we held on to our headed 
fox audio, and soon ufterwards found that a bruco wus 
afoot. 
*• "Got them ns near to him as ye can/ said the 6quire, 
* and don’t let ’em hunt the other line.’ 
" A ringing * tally-ho ’ was now given from the bottom 
of a ride. Off streaked the squire like a meteor. 
“ ‘ W by did you hulloo, sir ? ’ inquired he, and his words 
sounde'i like percussion caps hit with a hummer. 
“ ‘ Because I viewed the hunted lo.v,’ was the reply, as cool 
as a cucumber. 
“• Where V 
“ ‘At the top of the ride.' 
“‘And you, standing at the bottom, when they are well 
settled to him, halloo them away. What could be your 
object, sir? ’ 
“ ‘ I thought the stragglers ' 
“ ‘ Would fly to the tongues of the leading hounds rather 
than to your ien?eless halloo/ interrupted the squire, ‘or you 
ought to have thought so ; ’ — and he spurred from the spot, 
f ill boiling up a passion. 
“They had now given him such o rattling that he could 
hang no longer, ai d as lie slipped away up wind, with Ids 
white-tagged hru-li out stiff ami straight. 1 off with my cap, 
and quietly told Will, ns he came up with a hunch o’ hounds, 
that In- had jiift crossed a gap in the lane. Taking 'em to 
the exact spot, they flew in a hotly to it, and, with heads up 
and sterns down, away they raced; but” — Tom Pitts brought 
the sittue forefinger again to hear point hlunlc upon his 
favourite, looking from time to time gravely at the speaker, 
as if ready to correct the smallest error in the nurrative — 
“ Vanquisher led.” 
•• Tor the first two or three fields thoy carried a famous 
head, and crossing a wide ditch, called u brook in many 
countries, the field soou began to get select. A high, thick, 
quick-M-t hedge, with a ditch on both sides, stopped a lew 
more, and wo just began to have it ull to ourselves, when a 
shepherd’s dog chased and headed him short down wind, 
and we were again umotig the tmiflV. The scent lu-ing good, 
and hounds bristling for blood, they flew over some deep 
fallows into the luiiu across which 1 viewed him away. Here 
they threw up. 
*“ Hold hard!’ cried the squire, huntsman, and whips ; 
but wo might us well ha’ called to the wind. The lane be- 
came full o’ beauties, some screaming, 6ome cracking their 
whip*, and all playing old unicorn. 
“ If my memory serves me,” said Tom Pitts, pressing a 
finger upon the centre of his forehead, “ the squire just 
begun to open with u uiild round shot of the devil’s own 
particular, when a real out-and-out beauty came tearing up 
the la tie with his hat dungling by the string, Ills hair stand- 
ing up straight in the wind, coat-tails Hying over Ids 
shoulders, and ids horse’s head pulled double to his chest. 
Through the hounds he went, rolling ’em over like nino-pins. 
‘“Take them home/ thundered the squiro j * take them 
home.’ 
“ After that,” continued Tom Pitts, “ wo had merely to 
touch our caps, und point for the kennel.”

A Day with “Tub Essex and Suppolk.” — Tliii 
pack met on Tuesday week at ArdlHgU “ Crown.” There 
vvus a lor^e muster, und Ilia morning heinjf fine, every one 
anticipated a piod day’s sport. I could not help thinking, 
when I looked at the assemblage, how I wished our onod 
Queen, who vvus about that time preparing lo meet her 
Ministers and tho members of Parliament, both Lords and 
Common', mi^ht have her person and Crown Mirrounded 
with as good men and true, as wus tho “ Crown " of 
Aidleigh. Dul to tho point. At the appointed timo 
(10.45), aficr the usual “ good mornings, ” &e., were 
exchanged, the maslrr’a nod to tho hunisinen, with the 
words *• Bullock Wood," set all in a motion. Reynard was 
not there. Then East Wood, the High Woods, nnd several 
plantations near, were drawn — till blank. They then trolled 
off to 'lie Deilham Birch — blank also. Things then began 
to look serious: long faces were the order of tho day. 
Langhum I.ndgo was tho next cover, and soon after Ihe 
hounds were in, there wu? R challenge, which was repeated 
twice and thrice. It was then evident to practised tars t lint 
there wus no mistake. The huntsman’s hulloo, with “ Hark 
to Prodigal,” at once convinced the doubting ones reynaid 
was found. “Cone away ” set ull on the move. He hud 
already found there was a scent, and that loitering would 
not do; so H\vay lie went with his head towards Boxted 
Hall, the hounds well at him. Something made him alter 
his mind by the Windmill, which brought the puck lo n 
check ; it was very short, fur they made their own cast, and 
hit him off again. He made right away for River’s Hall, 
going through both Covers, headed hack through them again, 
and bore u way for Langlmm Hall, along the side hill, the 
Valley Farm being on their left ; then at the back of Langhatn 
Hall and the Church, on to the Coombs — lie evidently meant 
to go to ground there. The earths wero open, but the puce 
had “ pumped hint out,” and tho gallant park being close 
to his ltru'h, he dared not, fearing it would prove too hot to 
hold him — rather preferring to die as he had lived, a gallant 
fox as ever run. Alter running him round the Coombs several 
times — frequently in view — lie slipped over the Ipswich 
road into some grounds opposite, where tho hounds ran into 
him in first- rate style, lulling him on Ihe lawn before lie 
had had limo to implore the protection of severul young 
ladies who had been attracted lo the windows by the cry of 
tho hounds. Mr. C Phillips wus first up und claimed the 
brush, which was given him by the worthy maitrr ; but 
when he caught sight of the bright eyes of the ladies, hi? 
claim gave way to his gallantry, begging Mr. Nunn to 
present it to them, — which he did in his usual gentlemanly 
manner. Tho run was fifty minutes from the first challenge 
to the “ Whoo-oop” to a tick, — near enough, is it not ? and 
it was good enough t«< wiisfy every true sportsman. Thera 
wos one circumstance during the run which I cannot omit 
noticing: when the hounds were running their fox in the 
Coutubs, the venerable father of ihe hunt (Carrington Nunn, 
Esq.) viewed the auirnul only u few yards before tho hound' ; 
to see him stand in the stirrups, cap in hand, witli hi? 
silvery locks floating in the breeze, und to hear his well- 
known cheer, which is quite os clear and strong as it was 
forty years ago, was enough to make any one in ecstucies. I 
felt I cannot tell limv, only that my hair nearly pushed 
my hat off. I will conclude my observations by quoting 
the following lines, which I thought of since writing ihe 
above : — 
Besides our veteran Nunn, wo see 
In the Belli Nunns one, two, three; 
However good these N nnns may be, 
I'm sure they'll ull agree with me, 
Of all the Nunas there's none like He. 
Theso hound* since the fro>t have been out six d«ys,_a n “ 
killed five tunes. I hope the same sport tnay continue 
through ihe remainder «>l the season. — An Old SfortsmaN-
