THE FIELD. [Saturday, 
Travelling onwards in great discomfort, we at last arrived 
at a kind of moor-land (nothing like Sunderland moor- 
land. I may remark, although people say that certain sly 
foxes have taken cover there of late), whereon were 
growing ft number of prickly 
bushes, into which the whole pack 
of dogs ran most furiously. Here, 
however, nothing was found to 
run after, and it was not till we 
had made two or three unsuccess- 
ful trials, that with much personal 
inconvenience on my part we 
trotted off to a celebrated resort 
of the Revnardish vermin. I was 
gazing intently on the scene be- 
fore me, the anxious horsemen 
and the busy hounds, when sud- 
denly one of the latter set up a 
very dismal howling, and ran 
quickly along the field. I feared 
lfist the creature might have got 
accidently hurt, but strange to 
say the rest of the pack also joined 
in a most melancholy chorus, so 
plaintive that I was not surprised 
to hear a gentleman say that 
the dogs were in “ full cry.’' One 
of the little huntsmen in scarlet 
suddenly shouted “Tally-ho!" 
and galloped after them, and the 
master, also shouting something, 
followed him ; but bless you, sir, 
he’s no more the master of the 
hounds than I am, for in spite of 
his cries they ran away all the 
faster, without paying the least 
attention to what he was saying. 
Seeing everybody else going 
that way, I thought it best to fol- 
low also; and after a rapid canter 
came to a small gutter, so small 
thnt I should not have thought 
it could occasion a horse any in- 
convenience, when suddenly I found myself jerked with 
great violence out of the saddle, tho brute I bestrode 
making a leap so frightful that I dare not guess its ex- 
tent. Fortunately I recovered my 6eat, but did not suc- 
ceed in getting my feet into the stirrups before the in- 
furiated animal galloped madly off, and I as vigorously 
held on by the saddle and his mane. 
What hedges and ditches he sprang over I hardly know ; 
with furious speed he cleared all that came in his way, 
nearly knocking off his horse a portly old gent, whose 
alarming oaths followed me on the wind for a field’s length. 
I was growing sore, weak, and exhausted. The scene in 
Mftzeppa, as delineated in the Borough-road, was vividly 
brought buck to my mind, but there the rider had the 
advantage of being tied on. Everybody that I passed 
either swore at me or laughed at me, till on arriving at a 
frightful hedge, on the other side of which the hounds were 
again dismally howling, my hunter suddenly checked him. 
self at the leap, and when I came 
to the little senses I now possess 
I was lying, sore, and stupid, and 
dirty, in a wet ditch, my faithful 
horse indulging in a hearty meal 
on the turnip-tops around. There 
I was — solitary and alone — a wiser 
and a sorer man. With much 
difliculty I pursued my way to the 
nearest road, and, after arranging 
my pocket-handkerchief with a 
view to protecting what the doc- 
tors call the “ part most affected " 
I wended my way homeward, got 
to bed, and am now rapidly be- 
coming convalescent. So ended 
my day’s fox-hunting ; at least, I 
presume, we were hunting that 
animal, for I never saw the vermin, 
and please goodness I shall not 
again seek to cultivate the art at 
the same price. 
The sport is no doubt exciting. 
For exercise I know nothing equal 
to it ; every joint in my body felt 
partially dislocated for days ; but 
the “ per contra ” is dreadful, to 
eay nothing of corporal punish- 
ment, upon which I cannot com- 
ment, and which is indescribable. 
I find that my best hat is crushed 
into oblivion, my new coat irre- 
trievably stained by ditch water, 
each boot frightfully lacerated by 
its opposite spur, so much so that 
a friend told me he saw I had 
“ lost leather,” and a little doc- 
tor’s bill to pay for my hunter, who 
is stated by his owner to have 
strained and over-reached himself in a most deplorable 
manner. You will therefore, sir, provide yourself with an- 
other contributor, as I henceforward forswear proceedings 
which are calculated to destroy the peace of mind and body 
of— Yours, on the sofa, Fitz-Verdant Green.
