[Saturday*, 
lately hud with his hounds have been by far the best that 
have ever been had in this neighbourood. Gentlemen throng 
in from all directions to attend the meets. A young lord H 
mentioned as Mr. Drake’s successor in the management of 
the hounds. 
Race Dottings. — IV. Day has 24 horses under his 
charge; Pobert, 22; J. B. Day, 16 ; George Abdale, 7 ; 
R. Iunson, 13 ; and Kent, 12. St. Andrew has gone into 
Thomas Dawson’sstablo. Sly is engaged to ride for Mr. Isaac 
Day. Grosveuor is among the recent stud additions. 
Voltigeur’s 25 guineas’ subscription did not fill, and he is 
now open to the public at Middlethorpo for 12 guineas. 
Tho Alp figures among the French steeple-chase nominations. 
Two race-horses, the property of a well-known turf meteor 
of last season, are to be sold at Middleham, undor a writ of 
Fi Fa. Several advertisements are afloat announcing the 
intention of their writers “ to bet according to Act of Parlia- 
ment ” The Sheffield and Rotherham Handicap, at tha 
Doncaster Spring Meeting, has closed with 42 subscribers. 
The Queen is gone to Joe Lovell, and Bit of Blue to Tho 
Cure. W'e believe that the latter mare had a severe acci- 
dent early last spring, in consequence of her lud trying to 
jump her over a log of wood, a splinter of which pierced tho 
fotlock. Ouly four are struck out of the Lincoln Steeple 
chose, two out of the Handicap, and ouly three out ot the 
Hurdle-race. This is as great a tribute to Mr. Johnson * 
handicapping talent, ns the Great National is to Mr. Top- 
bam’s. Ouly 16 are scratched out of the G~ in the latter. 
Aquila has arrived at Fobert’s, and Sir Charles Monks 
Flashman has joined Vindex, at John Scott s. 
Mr. WhbbLb’s Hounds.— T his pack, which consists of 
374 couples ol bitches, has had very good sport during the 
present season. The account given of their foxes is a highly 
satisfactory one, as the noses on the kennel door present 
satisfactory proof. ^ .

The Selling Steeplechase and Selling Hurdle Race vrlll close on the 
10th instant. 
Chipping Campden. — A Good Shot. — Lord Nortli- 
wick’s keeper during last year killed no less than 78 deer 
with 79 balls. The man is 75 years of age, and as deer must 
he shot through the brain whilst the keeper is seated 
in the fork of a tree, his feat must be ackuowledged first- 
rate shooting. 
The Babiiaham Sale. — T he sale of hunters, Ac., at 
Babruham Hall, which took place last Wednesday week, was 
most numerously and highly respectably attended. Some of 
the horses fetched great prices : an eight-year-old chestnut 
horse, 200 gs.; a grey ditto, 100 gs. ; others from 70 to 30 
gs. The brougham, 116 gs. ; tho sadlery and clothing 
made extravagaut prices, but the dogs and guns did not sell 
high. Upon the whole it was an excellent sale ; the gross 
amount, we learn from Mr. Wisboy, the auctioneer, was about 
1 , 1001 . 
There are at present 12 subscribers to the Northumber- 
land Great Handicap Steeplechase, of 10 sovs., 7 ft., but 5 if 
declared, with 100 sovs. added, which closes on Saturday, 
March 11. Mr. J. Gray, the Newcastle clerk of the course, 
will receive nominations, and Mr. Richard Johnson is the 
handicapper. 
Lust week two otters were seen fighting on the banks of 
the river Wear, near to Butterby Boat House. On ap- 
proaching the spot, it was found that one of them was so 
disabled by the combat, that his capture was easily effected. 
Ho proved to be a splendid male animal three feet nine inches 
in length, and weighed between 30 and 40 lbs. 
A licensed game dealer in the county of Suffolk 6old, 
principally to London salesmen, in fourteen seasons, the ex- 
traordinary quantity of one million, two hundred and twenty- 
four thousand, seven hundred and forty-eight head of game.

Dealing Statistics.— M r. Philips, who has a stud 
farm at Willesden, recovered 3501. in all from the Great 
Northern Railway Company this week, for injuries sustained 
by him in an accident near Hornsea. He gave the follow 
iiig interesting evidence respecting his professional avoca 
tions: — “ I am very extensively engaged in the foreign 
trade for the Belgian, French, and Sardinian Governments 
und all over the continent. At» the time of the acci- 
dent I was on a preliminary journey before my long tour of 
a month. I was to have been at Howden and Horncastle 
fairs. 1 had heavy foreign commissions for stallions. The 
Belgian Government allowed me 251. for each horse. They 
averaged from 1501. to 400/. each. I supply the funds first. 
I have always obtained from eight to ten horses annually. 
The confidence is placed in mo personally. I had orders 
from Prince Beauveau and others. Mr. Allen, a great 
, dealer, had died, and his stud was for sale. I expected to 
buy a great many horses at that sale. I had commissions 
from several French noblemon tor stallions and brood mares. 
1 had to procure from 18 to 20 trade horses for a person in 
Paris, ot 10/. a horse. I also wanted to supply my own 
stud. The whole was lost to me, as I could not attend to 
business in consequence of my illness. I could not attend 
the Doncaster Meeting. My returns are about 40,000/ a- 
year. 
j On Monday last, at the Turf Tavern, in this town, Lord 
Jersey’6 mare, Clementina, dropped a fiuo filly to Sur 
plice. On the following morning it was deemed prudent to 
call in Mr. J. B. Lord, veterinary surgeon. The mare 
continuing to suffer severely, Mr. Field, one of the examiners 
at tho Royal Veterinary College, Loudon, was telegraphed 
for, and arrived at eleven the same evening, per special 
train. She was then out of danger, and she and the foal 
are now doing well . — Doncaster Gazette.
