TURFIANA. 
A match, the fame of which will equal, if not eclipse, that 
of Mrs. Thornton at York, was made last week at the Lime- 
rick Races, between the Knight of Glyn and Mi*. Allan 
M'Donogh. Mrs. MDonogh is matched to ride Seaman, the 
winner of the Grand National (Munster) Steeplechase, 
against the Knight of Glyn, who is to ride Victory, for £100 
a-side, over the Confy Castle Steeplechase course, on the 
first. Monday in December. Already several bets have been 
made, Mrs. M'Donogh, who is a famous horsewoman, be- 
ing the favourite. 
A Sweepsta liEB of 3 sovs each, h ft, with 25 added. 
Weight for age. Three miles. Steeplechase course. Was 
run off on Saturday last (this day week) over the Newcastle 
Course, Limerick, between Mr. Burke's Highland Mary, lOst 
71b; tho Knight of Glyn's Victory, lOst 71b; and Mr. Cal- 
laghan's Master Robert, ] 0s t 101b. Highland Mary, ridden

beaten off a long way. 
LonD Wateiifoud purchased Mr. Mahon’s gr g Varnish,

£160. 
The Match made at Limerick last week between Mr. 
Allan M'Donogh’s Seaman and Mr. Burke’s Waterford Tom 
resulted in the former walking over. It is, however, in dis- 
pute, and is likely to be referred to the stewards of the 
Turf Club, tho Limerick stewards having refused to take 
cognizance of it, being a private affair. 
Mn. Biudshaw’s Paddy Carey, by Burgundy, out of 
Circe, a winner three times at the Maze October Meeting 
lust week, was covering in the early part of tho past 
season.

THE WARD UNION STAG-HOUNDS. 
Then, again, will a few of tlio right sort, I know, 
When many a good one, half-beaten, is shaking, 
Over bodge, ditch, and river, triumphantly go, 
And, in spite of mischances, be up at tho taking. 
The above celebrated pack met for the first time this 
season at the Hill of the Ward, where some sixty sportsmeu 
assembled, and a truly gallant sight did they present to the 
spectator, mounted, as nearly they all were, upon steeds of 
surpassing strength, condition, aud beauty. 
There was but a slight sprinkling of the military out, as & 
good number of officers are away upon leave from their re- 
spective regiments ; but this was amply atoned for by the 
presence of not a few of the most beauteous of the daughters 
of Eve, the glances from whose bright eyes encouraged many 
a red-coated Nimrod to risk his precious neck over somo 
rather ticklish-looking crans, which he should otherwise have 
asked h imself some questions before going at. 
The deer was let off at half-past one at Mapotstown, and, 
after describing a small circle, put her head straight for Mr. 
Mathews's, of Balfestown, making across the southern part 
of Mr. Urell’s land at Ballymacarnoy out into a sort of half- 
lane, half-road, and up to Kilbride. Here there was a check 
of eight or nine minutes, when the hounds again hit upon 
the scent, and went away at a dashing burnt through Bay- 
town, crossing the river of the Dew, skirting Kennedy's, 
of Fleenstown, out upon the Ashbourne-road, opposite to 
Mr. John Tew Armstrong’s farm, which, however, Bhe did 
not entor. 
After this tho hunt continued up to tho rear of Mr. John 
Seagrave’s, at Duumickey, and on to within a short distance 
of the old church of Kilsallaghan, where tho hounds ran 
into her in view after ns sharp a twelve minutes’ piece of 
business (from the check) as ever was witnessed. 
THE OPENING DAY OF THE OLD BERKSHIRE 
HOUNDS. 
The first Wednesday in November, as usual, was the first 
day of the public hunting with the “ old Berkshire hounds," 
when Tubney Lodge, the hunting-box of the worthy master, 
James Morrell, Esq., jun., was again tho scene of “ old 
English hospitality." A public breakfast was given in the 
large room of the lodge to the members of the hunt and 
their friends, of which a very large party partook. Tho 
tables were most profusely spread with a selectiou of viands, 
which even the greatest epicure might have been satisfied 
with. They included roast and boiled beef, 4 turkeys, 24 
fowls, 3 Yorkshire hams, 7 tongues, 12 pigeon-pies, 12 brace 
of pheasants, 12 brace of partridges, &c. &c. The necessary 
accompaniments, including good old English ale, port, sherry, 
and cherry-brandy, were also most liberally handed round. 
The field was unusually large, with a good sprinkling of 
scarlet coats. Amongst the company we observed the 
respected master of the hunt, Messrs. H. Elwes, Montague, 
Colonel Phillips, F. Bowles, Phillips (master of the South 
Oxfordshire hounds), Duffield, Jenkins, Neate, Everett, 
Cookes, Dr. Somerset, Caffin, Burgess, Hon. E. B. Portman, 
J. Aldworth, Captain Dewar, Oliver, Thompson, Dalzell, 
Spencer, Parr, Price, W. Graham, Peel, Parkinson, Finch, 
Lampit, Sergisson, Bridges, Fitzgerald, Atkins, V. Cherwcll, 
J. Cooke, Bartley, Barrett, Fardcll, Pigott, Hamber, Scott, 
Severne, Suttie, Lucy, Wigby, Radcliffe, Shipton, &c. &c. 
After the gentry had done honour to the good things 
placed before them, the yeomanry and tradesmen of the 
neighbourhood including a large number of tho latter from 
Oxford, were kindly invited to the breakfast room, where 
their keen appetites were soon appeased. The toddlers, ns 
usual, were not forgotten, a liberal allowance of bread and 
cheese and strong ale was distributed to upwards of 300. 
During the repast, the hounds were feleased from the ken- 
nels and marshalled by the huntsmen and whippers-in, 
to the lawn in front of the breakfast room ; they were in 
first rate condition, their appearance as well as everything 
connected with the “Old Berkshire Hunt,” reflecting tlio 
highest credit on all connected with that establishment. 
Shortly before twelve o'clock the hounds trotted off (aud 
never do wo on any similar occasion remember seeing so 
large a field of sportsmen), to Wick Scrubbs, which proved 
blank. Barnstople Covers, Lyford Copses, and Scatterash 
were also blanks. At the New House Gorse a fine fox broke 
cover, which after a good two mile run went to earth in 
Longwortli Lodgo Gorse. The hounds were led on to 
Arrowdown Hill, when a brace were soon started, one of 
which ran through Kingston Brock, then to Appleton Com- 
mon, and back to Kingston, where the houndR gallantly ran 
in to him, after a good run of an hour and half. 
MR. ASSHETON SMITH’S HOUNDS— THE GRAND 
OPENING DAY. 
The first “open day” of the present season took place 
ou the 2Gth ult., when a goodly number of the true lovers 
of the chase assembled to do honour to the gallant 'Squire, 
who, although in the seventy-ninth year of his age, evinces 
such an unceasing desire to provide them with an abundanco 
of sport. Foremost amongst the company present 
observed the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Pierrepont, Sir Charles, 
Lady, and Miss Morgan, Mr. and Mi r. Heneago, Mr. aud Mrs. 
Drummond, Mr. and Mrs. Luughnm, and Mr. Clarke, all ol 
whom had, for a short time, been enjoying the hospitality 
Mr. Smith and his estimable lady. The general company 
included the Marchioness of Ailcsbury, Earl Bruce, Mr. 
Antrobus (Ameshury) and Lady Antrobus, Baron Lnngbain, 
(Attaebd to the Prussian Embassy), Lord Portsmouth, Co • 
Lascollefi, General Shrubriek, Col. Russell, Sir John and Lm y
