jected to Risk on tlio two counts ; 1st, that Risk had not 
boon iu possession of the owner for three months ; 2nd, that 
Risk had nut paid his stakes before starting. The second 
count being proved, the Carlisle Stakes are given to brother 
to British Farmer; the bets go to Risk. — (Signed), CHESTER-

Warwick Races. — The stakes to be competed for at these 
races are extremely well filled, and there is every probability 
of first rato sport. For the accommodation of all parties, 
several extensive alterations ami great improvements have 
boon made at the Grand Stand ; and the electric telegraph 
of the Great Western Company is fixed adjacent thereto. 
All are brushing up, nud the good things of this world are 
abundantly laid iu at the severed hotels and inns, suitable to 
the taste aiul comforts of the most fastidious. Full particu- 
lars of weights, colours, and ridel's, with exact time of start- 
ing for each race, will be found on Mr. Rose's card of the day. 
THE MOORS AND THE GROUSE. 
The moors continue to yield abundant sport, and the birds 
never were iu finer condition at this season of the year. 
We resume our notes of the sport at a few of the best north- 
ern moors. Mr. Akroyd and Mr. Edwards have had very re- 
gular and satisfactory sport at Glenshero during the last 
week, Mr, Akroyd having killed 280 brace, and Mr. Edwards 
280 brace. On no day did they fire a Bhot before noon. 
Mr. Wynn Williams mid his friends have had excellent sport 
on the Glen-Tulchen moors. They killed 736 brace in the 
first six days, and found the birds numerous, strong, and 
healthy. The best bag was made by the Hon. Mr. Mostyn, 
M.I\, who killed sixty-five and a half brace on the 12th, and 
on the four following days bagged to his own gun 1 56 brace ; 
on the 18th he bagged forty-eight brace, forty brace of which 
were bagged after two p.m. Mr. Wynn Williams got thirty -nine 
brace on the 15th; Mr. Peter Karr, twenty-four brace on the 
16th; and Mr. Morris, fifty-seven brace on the 14th. M. Mac- 
kenzie of Muirton, shot at Scatwell Moor on the 19th, thirty- 
six brace grouse and seven mount ain hares. Major Hist, Tulloch 
Castle, Dingwall, was out on the 12th, with the disadvantage 
o! a heavy shower and high wind. He shot to his own gun 
that day seventeen and a half brace; on Tuesday, fourteen 
brace and a mountain hare. On the 1 6th the birds were 
very wild, and a constant drizzling rain fell. Beginning late 
in the day, the Major bagged eighteen brace of grouse, one 
teal, and one mountain hare. The weather has since been 
very indifferent, and there has been no shooting. At Muirton, 
Mr. Gordon, of Nethermuir, Dr. George Gordon, and Mr. 
Burnett, have been out pretty often. On the 15tb, the two 
last shot twenty -three brace of grouse and five hares. Mr. 
Gordon and Mr. Burnett bagged thirty brace and three hares 
on the 18th ; and on the 19th, Mr. Gordon, with Dr. George 
Gordon, shot seventeen and a half brace and five hares. M r. 
Archibald Has tie, M. P., and Mr. Stevenson have been shoot- 
ing on the Dunearn moors ; on the 12th the former bagged 
thirty-two and a half brace grouse, and a have, and the latter 
forty and a half brace and two hares ; on the 14th, shooting 
together, they bagged thirty -six brace in a few hours ; on 
the 15th Mr. Stevenson shot twenty-five brace, on 
the 16th, Mr. Hastio got twenty-two and a half brace 
in five hours, and on the 18th, the same in the same time ; 
Mr. Stephenson, on tho 17th, killed in a few bout's seventeen 
and a half brace, one snipe, and three hares. The birds 
were strong and wild. Messrs. F. and C. Rodenham, Mr. 
Evans and Mr. Meredith, who have been shooting over the 
moors of Free and Easter Kylachy, had bagged 318 brace of 
grouse, forty-two hares, seven plovers, and seven snipes, 
between the 12th and 21st. On Friday last the party at 
Dalchully-house, Bhot 175 brace of grouse and twenty five 
Imres. On the Dalmigavie moors, on the 17th Messrs. Kettle 
and Foster bagged sixty brace grouse. At Garbole, on the 
17th, Mr. Morrison nud Colonel Shirley got thirty-seven 
brace grouse, and five hares ; on the 19th, Mr. Beech killed 
thirty-four brace grouse, and four bares. From Lagnalle we 
learn that, notwithstanding the wetness of the weather, the 
party there had fair sport — to wit, 14th ult., Lord H. 
Bentinck, eighty-four brace ; Mr. Walker, eighty-three and 
a half; Mr. King, seventy -seven ; Mr. Hall, sixty -two ; 15th 
ult., Mr. Walker, thirty-one brace; Mr. Hall, thirty-two; 
and Mr. King, fifty-six : 16th ult., Lord H. Bentinck, forty- 
one brace; Mr. King, fifty-five; Mr. Hall, twenty-three and 
a half and a brace of snipe ; Mr. Walker, thirty: 17th ult., 
Mr. Walker, sixty-four brace ; Mr. Hall, sixty ; and Mr. King, 
fifty-two: 18th ult.. Mr. Walker, sixty brace; Lord H. 
Bentinck, twenty -seven ; and Mr. Hall, thirty-five. The sport is 
much better than was expected. Lord Cawdor and friends (four 
gunB) killed 500 brace of grouse iu four days’ shooting. The 
Duke of Richmond's party, at Glenfiddich, Bhot 1,200 brace iu 
seven clays. Mr. C. Renton, at Highfield, shot thirty-five and 
a half brace on the 15th ; nineteen brace of grouse, seven and 
a half brace of ptarmigan, and four hares, on the 19th. On the 
Bame moors, Mr. Hawkins Fisher shot twenty-three brace of 
grouse and four hares, on the 16th, and thirty-seven and a half 
brace and three hares, on the 17th. Tho party at Carr-bridge 
— Sir H. Wilmot, Mr. Hurrell, Mr. Philipps, and Mr. Hall — 
killed about 800 brace of grouse, besides other game, during 
the first four days. Captain Hamilton and Mr. Hope, at 
Auchintoul, Helmsdale, killed fifty-two brace the first day, 
and thirty-nine brace the next. The Rev. James Holden, 
Mr. Wright, Mr. Close, and the Hon. E. Stanton, are at Can- 
tray, and killed, besides a great many hares each day, on the 
12th, seventy-seven brace of grouse; 14th; Bixty-eight brace; 
16th (Mr. Holden only), fifty-two brace; and on the 18tb, 
fifty-six and a half brace. At Clune, in boisterous weather, 
fifty-eight and a half brace were knocked over by two gun9, 
on the 12th. Mr. Pryor, at Iuverlail, and his brother, killed 
seventy-eight and a half brace on the 17th, in the afternoon. 
Mr. H. E. Adair and Mr. Hugh Adair, at Knockie, killed, 
besides snipe and hares, twelve brace grouse on the 12th; 
eleven brace after luncheon on the 14th; eight brace after 
four o'clock on tho 16th; twenty-one brace on the 17th; 
.sixteen brace in a couple of hours on the 19th; and seven 
brace on the next day. Mr. Barclay, at Stray, shot fifty brace 
to his own gun on the 17th. At Balmacaan, the Earl of Sea- 
field, on the 17th — the first day his lordship was out — bagged 
fifty-five brace grouse, one snipe, and four hares ; the birds 
were strong and wild. The success offered to sportsmen on 
the moors has checked them ardour iu making for the forests. 
Very few deer or stags have yet been shot. We have heard 
of the following only — Sir Edward Kerrison shot two stags, 
right and left, at Altnaharrow. The Master of Lovat, at 
Glenstrathftirar, shot two stags with horns clear of velvet — 
the earliest of the seasou ; one of the heads was a royal one, 
and the other carried eleven points. Major Walker’s party 
at Auchintoul, Helmsdale, have killed tin ea deer, a stag, and 
a couple of hinds. 
Cumberland. — Game is found to be plentiful on most of 
the Cumberland and Westmoreland hills, but the birds are 
unusually wild. Grouse may now be bought iu Carlisle at 
from 4s. per brace. — Carlisle Patriot. 
Northumberland. — Owing to the wet weather, the grouse 
season in Northumberland opened very poorly, and the 
bags were lighter than has been the case for many years. 
Since about the 16th, the shooting has, however, greatly 
improved. Mr. Tape, game-dealer, in Collingwood-streefc, 
received no less than 200 brace in one day last week — New- 
castle Chronicle. 
Romford. — Accounts speak favourably of the prospects of 
the shooting season. The coveys of partridges are both nu- 
merous and strong, the fine season having proved of great 
benefit to the young birds. Hares are also more plentiful 
than in former years ; of pheasants, the same may be said, 
and although thus early in the season, they are found to be 
numerous and large grown birds. 
Partridge Shooting. — Many of the Yorkshire sportsmen 
have deferred partridge shoot ing until the 8th of September. 
The lateness of the low-ground corn and harvest operations 
on the top land, combined with scarcity of birds, have induced 
them to defer the use of the dog and gun a week. 
The Partridge Season. — The birds this season are gene- 
rally very strong and fine, and upon many farms in great 
abundance. We never knew so few coveys destroyed, par- 
ticularly in cutting the firat crop of rye grass and clover, 
where so much destruction is generally committed ; and 
where farms have been kept clear of the nefarious practices 
of the poacher, we augur some good sport for our friends of 
the trigger. — Monmouth Beacon. 
The First of September. — The accounts from the 
Midland Counties represent the game as unusually abundant 
this season. Partridges are very strong, and the coveys are 
large, fourteen to twenty in a covey. This is attributed to 
two causes — the scarcity of last season leading gentlemen to 
abstain from shooting, and the unusually favourable season 
for hatching this year. Hares are plentiful — too plentiful for 
the farmers — and pheasants are strong. 
The Devon and Somerset Staq Hounds will meet on 
Tuesday, the 5th of September, at Brendon Barton ; and on 
Saturday, the 9th, at Dulverton ; each day at eleven o’clock. 
The Devon and Somerset Stag Hounds had a good ran on 
Tuesday, the 22nd ult. The meet was Simonsbath, where 
tho worthy captain in command of the pack received a hearty 
welcome from a numerous field. A stag was reported by 
the liarbourer to be on the north part of the forest, near the 
Warren, to which place the pack was ordered. It was 
thought advisable not to give the hounds a view, and the 
field trotted on to rouse the deer, which was laying in a rush 
bed, and was turned from his lair by F. W. Knight, Esq., 
the proprietor of Exmoor. The pack were now laid on tho 
scent, and ran him over Pryaway to Black-pits — then on to 
the Chains, and over Cheriton-ridge to Farley ; he beat the 
covert round Brendon Parsonage for some time, and then 
crossed for Scobell, and came to water just below Millsladc ; 
beat down a short distance, and broke on the Countisbury 
side, and over Farmer Litson’s ground for the hill, which he 
crossed, no doubt making for the sea; but on descending to 
the beach not far from Countisbury Church, on getting over 
the rocks, he broke a fore leg, and on reaching the sea-shore 
was soon pulled down by his pursuers. Thus ended a char, 
of two hours and a half: the first part of it, from the rou-, 
to Farley, was very fast, as most of the horses who tried t.j 
live with the hounds by their appearance testified. 
WEYBRIDGE. 
To the Editor of The Field. 
Sir, — I was glad to see a notice and sketch of Weybridge 
in your last Number. There are few better places for the 
angler. The elder Harris has fished the Thames for nearly 
fifty years. You do not mention that there are two pre- 
serves, one from the Wier to the Lincoln Arms, 840 yards 
long, the other, called the “New Deep,” 160 yards long. 
The Messrs. Harris have taken, with two punts, 3001bs. of fish 
per week during the last two months. — Yours, &c. 
A Thames Angler.
