THE WARD UNION STAG-HOUNDS. 
" Ilark I what loud uliout* 
Uc-eelio through the grove* — lie broaka away — 
Shrill liorna proclaim Id* lligltt ; each Ntraggllug hound 
Strain* o'er the lawn to reach tho dlitant pack, — 
'Tis triumph all and joy . 
The run on Friday (yesterday) week with the above cele 
brated pack is certainly worthy of being recorded. They 
met at the village of St. Margaret's, in the midst of a very 
heavy shower of cold, misty, and cutting rain, which gave to 
the entire country round a cold and miserable appoaranco, 
the reverso of agreeable to tho spectator, and infinitely moi;o 
so to the individual himself. 
Time being called, the door-cart was sent forward, and a 
very pretty specimen of an uctivo little fallow doe ejected 
from its thraldom, in a largo pasturo field to the south-west 
of Kilreisk House. 
Tho hunt commenced at a merry poco, tho cutiro field 
making towards Kijinuchroo, through several stable fields, 
over ridge and furrow, up to tho rattling wide and desperate 
double ditch which separates the lauds of Ballystraliam 
and Shallon. In steeplechase stylo they continued through tho 
west of Corratown, wheeling gradually to the right, pointing 
for Chapelmidway, the fust and unchecking severity of the 
pace hero causing a very perceptible diminution of the piuh. 
Forward, still forward they lly, passing through tho broad 
pastures of Kilcoscan, into the globe lands of Thorutown, out 
of them again, and over a deep and rapid (lowing brook in tho 
bottoms, bending rather suddenly with a wheel to tho right, 
up to M'Cabe’s Well, through Castlofarm, into the luuds of 
“ Boggyhnrey," up to Mount Stewart, through Kilossory, to 
the cross roods of Listopol, into lluganstown, and finishing 
upon one of tho farms of Peter Aungior, Iisq., called the 
Leas, u short distance from Hnthfoalo House, whore the doer 
was pulled, down, and before sufficient aid could arrive, dis- 
membered and eaten, this being tho second who-whoop of 
the season. Several of the field gallantly distinguished them- 
selves throughout this sharp and checkless fivo-and-thirty 
minutes. 
The same hounds met on tho succeeding Monday at the 
Flat House. Tho field numbered about 100, and a prime 
red deer was enlarged about half a mile from the meet. 
After a quarter of an hour's “ law,” the hounds wore “ laid 
on." They ran to tho Black Bull ; then inclined to tb» 
right to the Fairy House ; crossed the road, aud from thence 
through Ballinfray, on to Butler's of Pries town ; over the 
hills of Kilbride, leaving tho chapel to the right ; through 
Ballymocamey, on to Jerrard’s of the Bay, jumping the Lough ; 
then bending to the loft, ncrosB the Ashbourne road, through 
Kilshean-bottomj), and on to Harristown ; thence through 
Reilly’s of Ballvnuin, on to Sir Compton Doinvillo's, crossing 
the San try-rood, through all tho gentlemen's seat s and tm 
to the Earl of Charlemout's demesne ; then dropping into the 
road, taking a fourteen feet down jump at tho demesne wall, 
crossed the gardens at tho opposite side, and runniug out at 
the Clontarf railway arch, plunged into the kc.l leaving the 
railway to the left and swimming across to the North-wall 
at the opposite railway arch ; here the hounds headed and 
turned him ; he then swam and mu back (the water being 
in parts shallow) towards tho point at which he entered the 
water- but, before reaching the shore, the hounds overtook 
aud drowned him. Amongst the few up at the hmsh were 
Charley and Byrne, the huntsman aud whippar-m ; Capt.
