A Good Week with the Puckeridoe Hounds.— These 
hounds met on Monday, 30th of October, at Bennington. 
Found in Coombwood, and, at the end, a fast twenty-five 
minutes, ran their fox to ground near Hightrees. Found 
the second fox at the Thrift Wood, and killed him. — On 
Wednesday the meet was at Stanstead. Found at Ugly 
Park went away through Broomwood, Guendon Wood, and 
Guendon Hall Park, and after taking a wide ring with a very 
bad scent, was killed near Broom. Found the Becond fox at 
Houghty Wood, gave him two rings in cover, then away at a 
very quick pace, aud killed him iu the open ; time, fifteen 
minutes.— On Thursday (bye day), they met at Widford. 
Found at Eastwick Wood, ran twenty-five minutes nearly all 
in cover. Reynard then took refuge in a drain, but was soon 
dislodged, and gave him a good start; but another ten 
minutes brought to hand.— On Saturday they met at Cum- 
berlow Green. Found at Cold Ashspring, scent very bad ; 
ran him a ring of forty, and killed him. These hounds hunt 
a bad scenting country, but I am happy to say it shows more 
than a fair average of spoilt. — I am Sir, yours, Red Rover. 
Cafital Day’s Sport with the Duke of Cleveland’s 
Hounds.— On Monday the 6th inst. these hounds met ut 
Wackerficld, and being the first day of public hunting for 
this season, and a favourite meet, a goodly muster of the 
right sort assembled in expectation of a good day’s sport ; 
which, from the excellent condition of the hounds, under 
the care of George Cox, well known in the county of Hants, 
(who has succeeded the late T. Flint as huntsman), to whom 
too much praise canuot be given, he having brought out 
his celebrated bitch Tack for the occasion. A few minutes 
before the appointed time his Grace arrived, and after ex- 
changing the usual “good morning’’ with a few of the gen- 
tlemen present, mounted his favourite hunter Napoleon, and 
gave orders for Black Thoms to be drawn, which proved a 
blank. Cox then trotted off to Bolton Garth Plantation, 
where the pack had no sooner entered than the well-known 
tongue of old Trinket told us that Reynard was on foot, and 
in a few minutes foxes were seen flying in every direction. 
After taking two or three rings in cover, our fox, finding 
it too hot to hold him, then broke and away at a racing 
pace by Hilton Gorse, from thence in the direction of the 
Staindrop and Bishop Auckland road ; but Reynard think- 
ing it more prudent, entered a drain, that proved open for 
his reception, after a bursting run of thirty minutes. Before 
many minutes had elapsed, a fresh fox was viewed crossing 
the same field, when Cox quietly took the hounds up and 
laid them on the line, when the hounds soon settled to their 
fox, which went away at a good hunting pace in a direct line 
for Bishop Auckland’s, turned to the right, crossed the 
Hammer Beck road into Bolton Garth Plantation ; making no 
stay, he broke away at the south side of the cover, taking 
the open to Morton ; from there to Killerby, bending his 
course for Dobinson’s Whin, from thence to Bolam ; here 
he turned to the right, crossed the Auckland and Pierse 
Bridge road by legs across on to Toytop Gorse, but disdain- 
ing to enter, pressed nobly forward for Redworth Main Earth, 
but meeting with disappointments he took a direct line to 
see his native country once more ; but having the wind in 
his teeth, he was obliged to turn down wind again, still the 
pack going at a racing pace. Here Cox was heard to cheer 
his hounds, exclaiming “ Now my lasses,” and soon they ran 
from scent to view, when after a good run of fifty-five 
minutes he was nobly pulled down in the open, making five 
brace of foxes this gallant pack has killed iu eleven days. 
The way in which Cox rode to his hounds, and the manner 
in which he handled the pack during the day, was the ad- 
miration of all present. A Subscriber. 
A Gallant Day with the Sinninoton Hounds.— O n 
Tuesday, the 31st ult., these hounds met at Sinnington. The 
morning was everything that the lovers of the chase could 
desire, and long before the time appointed hundreds of 
pedestrians, and upwards of sixty gallant Nimrods graced 
the field, and although there were several showers, we 
noticed a good sprinkling of the Sinnington ladies present. 
At eleven o’clock the dogs were harked into cover, and soon 
the well-known voice of the merry huntsman, and the mel- 
low notes of music, proclaimed to the expectant hunters 
that Reynard was on foot. He broke covert in fine style, 
and made for the earths, but did not find things as he ex- 
pected, so he made for the Hag, scaled up the wood to the 
Appleton Common, then back to the Scar along the river 
Seven, which he could not be compelled to leave, being rim 
for twenty minutes in full view, when he was at last pulled 
down in the river. The worry over, the hounds were again 
put into covert, and the loud tallyho ! hark forward ! re- 
sounded from glen to glen, and away went the jovial pack with 
lightning speed, round and round the merry green woods, over 
the river Seven, round Appleton Common, back to the woods 
to the earths, and was pulled down in the river Seven. The 
hounds then trotted over to Aislaby Whin, found in an in- 
stant, from there to Aislaby Middleton, aud high side of 
Keld Head, where, after a good run, he got to earth, and 
thus finished one of the best day’s sport seen for a many 
years at the Sinnington meet. 
The Warwickshire Hounds. — The first meet of the War- 
wickshire hounds for this season took place at Kineton on 
the 30th ult., when, aRer a sumptuous breakfast given by 
the noble marquis of the hounds, Lord Willoughby de Broke, 
the pack left the kennels for Bowshot, where a fox was found. 
They ran him to Walton, where he was lost. They then 
found a second at Ligthorne Rough, which, after running to 
Chadshunt Spinney, returned to his former quarters, and 
went to ground. On Thursday the hounds met at Edstone- 
hall, and ran a fox, which was started at Ansty Wood, for 
two or three hours, when he escaped. On Friday the meet 
was Burton Toll-gate. There were two or three short but 
brisk runs. The North Warwickshire met on Wednesday at 
Stoneleigli Abbey, where the hospitalities of that princely 
mansion were dispensed by Lord Leigh to a very numerous 
assembly of sportsmen, including the most distinguished 
members of the hunt. There was a large company iu atten- 
dance, and several carriages were on the ground. The pack, 
which is in splendid condition, drew Berricote Wood, where 
no fewer than six foxes were found. Their run into the 
open ground was delayed for some time, owing to the large 
number of vehicles and pedestrians. At length one got away, 
aud after passing along tho Grove, made for Tliickthorne, 
where he was tilled.— Birmingham Gazette. 
jin. AssnETON Smith’s Hounds met at Shoddesden Gate 
on Monday last, and had a pretty buret of eighteen minutes 
from Asshcton Coppice, killing their fox near Amport. 
A SPLENDID HUN WITH THE DURHAM COUNTY FOX-HOUNDS. 
—On Monday, the 6th, these hounds met at Colpike Hall ; 
the morning was rather sunny, and sportsmen unaccustomed 
to the district might suppose too fine for scent ; however, as 
anticipated by those who have witnessed many a brilliant 
thing from this extremely good meet on a Bimilor morning, 
the scent proved good enough for men, horses, and hounds. 
However, tried a few outlying gorses, they proceeded to 
Rippon Burn Plantation, where they immediately dropped 
upon the family. After a few ups and downs, one of the 
heads of the establishment faced the open, and turning down 
to Broadwood took the valley of the Brownie, os far as 
Batsfield Burn, then turned south to Latly. Here, being 
headed, he directed his course due west towards Wolsingbanr 
He then crossed the Lobley Hill-road, and passing Broom- 
shields across Pan Bum up to Hill Top over Cornsay Com- 
mon, turned down to Hedley Common, past Cowsley, the 
almshouses, up to Cornsay ; then rounding the hill down to 
Lower Row, past Cornsay House, north, to Ragpath side, 
near Clickhim, turning east to Square House. He then 
turned to Greenwell Plantation, and down to Hollybush- 
wood, where occurred the first check, after a run of nearly two 
hours. Having then tried every earth within a circuit of fifteea 
miles, he resolved to return to his own immediate locality, 
and doubled back again past the Ford Gardens, with only 
three of the hounds carrying the scent. A view holloa from 
the Roman station, brought the pack again upon his heela. 
He then passed Middlewood, Throstle Nest, Hole House, 
Patrick’s Close Mill, up to Brownie Bank Toll Bar, then to 
Batsfield, where they ran in view and killed him, after ono 
of the most splendid runs ever known in that country. Titno 
two hours and twenty minutes, with only one check. The 
master of the hounds, Mr. Williamson, throughout manifested 
his delight at the magnificent working of his pack, and at 
the effective and praiseworthy services of Tom, the huntsman 
and the whip, and those of the field who were fortunate 
enough to witness the run from its commencement to the 
finish, will long remember it as one of the most extraordinary 
for duration and speed they ever knew. 
Forfar and Kincardine Fox-hounds. — This celebrated 
pack opened the winter campaign on the 3d inst. very aus- 
piciously. The turn out of members of the club and others 
was considerable, the former embracing the Right Hon. Lord 
Panmure, Major Douglas, Colonel Rait of Anniston, John 
Guthrie, Esq., of Guthrie Castle, W. F. Grant, Esq., of 
Eccles-greig, Captain Guthrie, Qagie House, Robert Taylor, 
Esq., of Kirktonhill, John Binny Gibb, Esq., of St. Ann’s 
Cottage, — Ramsay, Esq., son of the late Sir Alexander 
Ramsay of Balmain, John Jolly, Esq., Cairnbank House, 
&c. &c. The start was from the handsome kennels iu tho 
policies of Brechin Castle, which have recently undergone 
enlargement and improvement. The first whip, Mark Jones, 
in absence of Mr. Markwell, the huntsman, who had lately 
received an injury while in the discharge of his duty, con- 
ducted the chase in capital style. The hounds were thrown 
off at Maulesdeu cover, and it was not long before a fox was 
started ; but it again soon took to earth. After this they 
trotted to the Careston cover, and again found ; but, owing 
to the bad scent, it was “ no go.” They then dodged along 
to the Marcus cover, and started os fine a game one of dark 
complexion as ever ran o'er hill or dale. He drew the pack 
a circuitous route over mountain and lea — indeed, the 
longest run that ever this crack pack has had to contend 
with. They bounded along, after giving hound’s law, by the 
Hilton of Fearn, and, passing the sawmill, took to the Gram- 
pian Hills ; and with a bound, dashed down the vale of 
Lethnot— and was lost. Only a few of the riders were up at 
the concluding point, many a brave rider having had to quit 
the field long before the unhappy finish; but there was no 
brush got to the indefatigable pursuers. This was consi- 
dered one of the finest days that ever the followers of this 
pack have enjoyed. The run extended upwards of twenty- 
five miles, perhaps the longest ever run in Auld Scotland. 
On Friday, they met again at Lauriston.when on cover being 
drawn Reynard was found, and broke away at a rattling pace. 
After a smart run of half an hour the “ varmint,” sought 
and found shelter in an open earth in Brotherton Dens. 
The field was not so full as on Tuesday. The meet yester- 
day was at Burnside. On the hounds being thrown in a wel- 
come note from the tongue of an “old ’uu,” proclaimed the 
“ find,” but after a short run he was run into, in a vain 
attempt to earth. As a wind up to the business of the day, 
they trotted on to Finhaven Hill, where again they found Rey- 
nard at home, who after circling the hill, made a most bril- 
liant burst, running eastward with the hounds in full cry, 
passing the ruins of Melgund Castle, but again a friendly 
earth gave him protection. We are glad to say that Mr. 
Markwell, the huntsman, is so far recovered, that he was 
able to resume his seat in the saddle, aud brought home at 
his saddle-bow part of tho trophies of the day — the head of 
the first found turkey stealer. 
Fox-hunting at Winslow. — Lord Southampton’s hounds, 
at their meets in this locality this season, have, as usual, 
found an abundance of foxes, aud four brace have already 
been killed in thiB district. 
Tipperary Hunt.— O n Wednesday last there was a very 
numerous meeting of “ red coats ” at Kilcommon demesne ; 
and, as might be supposed from the fact that many years 
have transpired since that ground was hunted, foxes were m 
abundance ; however, they could not be brought to break 
cover, and even the two “ brushes ” that were borne off by 
the huntsmen were not trophies of any exciting chase. 
Reynard seems to have many secure places of retreat m tho 
splendid thicket opposite Caher Cottage. 
The Cambridgeshire Hunt.— We are glad to hear that 
the pack is again in full force ; their first meet was on Mon- 
day last, at Caxton Gibbett ; the hounds were never in better 
train, aud much credit is due to the kennel management anjt 
the new huntsman, who hunted his hounds with an 1 R 1 
ferent scent, and stuck to his fox over a very difficult country, 
eventually killing, after two hours and twenty-five minutes. 
The following is the account of the run from another corre- 
spondent :— The first meet of the Cambridgeshire hounds 
was at Caxton Gibbett, where a large field assembled to meei 
the worthy ’Squire ; a small cover was drawn by the roa 
6ide blank, then trotted on to a place called Natchley 
Napely Grove ; here one of the right sort was found, an 
after one hour’s ring through the cover went straight a\ y 
towards Caxton. Here a slight check took place ; but soon 
him again, crossing the north road to Caxton Bottoms, '' 
another check took place, held on tho road towards Bourn, 
and then again hit off at Lord de la Warr’s, bending towai , 
Hatley ; tinned again to the left across the north road an 
to Kingston Wood. At this place the hounds got on cspi 
terms with their fox, and sent him across by Kiugston ' 
lage at top pace, over the hill to Eversion Wood, aud a 
once running round the low corner, they ran into linn on 
edge of the wood. The run from beginning to end was 
hours and twenty-five minutes, during the whole of w 1 
time the hounds were exceedingly well handled by iu°i ^ 
the new huntsman, who appears both in aud out of cove 
know what he is about.
