PHEASANTS. 
Sib, — I n an article on the Christmas trees exhibited in the 
Crystal Palace, mention is made of some beautiful pheasants 
(l>ltaaianu3 torqiuUut) that were presented to her Majesty 
by a gentleman on whose estate they were shot, aud stating 
that it was supposed to be the only locality in which they 
were to be found in this country. I beg to say this is an 
error, as they have been bred in great numbers on the estates 
of the Earl of Stamford, both at Euville-hall aud Bradgate- 
park, many beautiful specimens having been shot this season. 
— Yours obediently, A Subscriber. 
Last week the South Oxfordshire Hounds threw off on 
the Brightwell estate, the seat of Win. Lowndes Stone, Esq., 
when there were upwards of 100 horsemen assembled in the 
T HE FI ELD. = 
p ftr k. On account of the unfavourableness of the morning 
they had little sport till about half-past ono o'clock, when 
they drove master Reynard out of the Holcombe cover, when 
ho made off at pretty good speed towards Chalgrovc, leaving the 
« Hampden ” monument t<> the right, and across the fields 
to Wharpsgrove, through the Gor.se belonging to the Earl of 
Macclesfield, up Mr. Treadwell’s hill out to Tetsworth and 
Darin lies, and through Tlmme Park to Sydenham, where 
thoy “ lost," and the sport terminated. 
Cambridgeshire Hunt. — These hounds met lately at 
Kneesworth ; and after drawing the “Spinneys," they trotted 
off to Rouse’s : no sooner in cover than a fox wus on foot, 
but not liking to face so large a company, who had carefully 
distributed themselves all round the cover, so as to leave no 
chance for him to break, the 'Squire exercised his authority, 
and cleared one corner, from which Reynard broke, with the 
best pace went to Gil Rags, through which he went, crossing 
the I’otton-road, when being headed by some plough people, 
he again went to Gil Rags ; and after several turns round 
this cover, he broke, evidently intending for the earths in 
the Bottoms towards Croydon. These, however, had been 
carefully stopped, and lie again crossed the Bottoms to 
Rouse's', straight through the cover, along the meadows 
pointing for Wendy, but bore away to the left, crossed the 
l-oad into Wimpole avenue, and all through Cobbs, his 
destination; but he then bore away for New Wimpole, at 
the back of Orwell village, and was eventually run into, in 
gallant style, in Barrington village. 
The Badswortii Hunt. — The Badsworth hounds had a 
splendid run on Tuesday last. The meet was at Hampole, 
and at the close the field was “ riddled out ” to a select few 
of the right sort. 
A Good Day with ms Grace the Duke of Cleve- 
land's Hounds. — On Friday, the 8th instant, these hounds 
met at Middleton Tyas, on the Yorkshire side, with a goodly 
muster of the right sort, several gentlemen from the Bedale 
and Hurworth Hunts being present. At eleven o’clock his 
Grace arrived, and gave Cox the huntsman orders to try 
Inkle Gorse, which happened to contain one of the right 
sort; aud both the horn, aud a note from a few of the 
favourites, told us to draw our girths up an extra hole ; but 
Charley, not having an opportunity of showing himself for a 
few minutes, rather hung in cover ; but, finding it too hot, 
he was obliged to break, and away, taking a direct line for 
Hannaby, bearing to the left by Allen’s Gorse, keeping a 
direct line for Cleasby ; being headed, turned to the right 
by Stapleton, trying Monk End earths, but no admittance ; 
took away over Croft Race course, crossing the Richmond 
and Darlington-road by Croft Castle, over the Great North 
of England Railway, at a railway pace, crossed the North - 
allerton-road by Dalton; being now into the Hurworth 
Hunt, aud putting his head straight, for some main earths, 
near to Eryholme, but was gallantly pulled down iu the 
open, within a field of them. Time, one hour and fifteen 
minutes. Out of the large field assembled at tbe start — 
“ There were but few 
That saw them run from scent to view." 
Great praise was given to Cox the huntsman, and his two 
able whips, II. Sebright aud J. Woody. — Yours, 
An Eye-Witness. 
The Brighton Harriers met on Saturday, at the Dyke. 
Found the first hare near Seddlescomb, which was soon cap- 
tured. Moved another close by, going away for Giles’s Bot- 
tom, West Hill, doubled back t<> Saddlescomb, Pond Brow, 
crossed the Dyke Road for Bentfield's Bottom, turned to the 
left for the Dencher Furze, where the hounds got a view and 
killed, being a very pretty burst of thirty minutes. A third 
hare started immediately afterwards, making for the Dyke 
Road, Water Hall, Green Dean, Barncombe Gorse, nearly to 
tbe rail, headed back to the furze, aud was killed. The 
hounds were then taken to a shepherd's have in West Bottom, 
going away at score for High Dale, Green Dean, Bam Coomb, 
North Heath, to the London line, running parallel with 
that to the bridge at Scare Hill, where she was headed, 
turning to the right over Sweet Hill, Water Hall, to the 
Dencher Furze, doubled back to Green Dean, where she 
squatted in a piece of turnips, starting away a view over the 
foil for Giles’s Green, where they lost amongst the rabbits, 
after an excellent run of one hour and a-half. Met on Mon- 
day at Patcham. Could not do anything at the north part 
of the meet, on account of the frost ; but had two sharp 
bursts from Patcham, though, unfortunately, both hares took 
to the Park. 
A Good Day’s Sport wnn Mn. Tregonwell’s Harriers. 
— On Saturday the 2nd, this clever little pack, consisting of 
couples of dwarf fox bitches met at “ Harley Gap,” with a 
field of about twenty horsemen. A bare was soon started 
on Mr. Ford’s farm, and after a sharp struggle reached the 
favourite cover of “ Harley,” now almost harelcss. Here 
“ Pussy” vainly endeavoured to shelter herself, but at. length 
broke away gallantly over Thorney Down aud into the 
drove leading to higher “ Gussage,” where the pack getting a 
new, pulled ,l»er down in the open. After drawing a 
fallow, and some turnips, an outlying hare was found in a 
field adjoining the Blandford turnpike at “ Cashmoor," the 
hounds working her a good ring or two in the enclosures 
near “ Gussage,” when putting her head straight down wind, 
she led over the fine downs to Lord Shaftesbury's Fir-belt, 
and leaving “ Harley” on the right, kept “ forward" at a 
rattling pace o'er field and down right into St. Giles's village, 
the hounds running her down the road and making a 
beautiful hit into the meadows by Mr. Waters’s house, 
crossing the brook and up the fields nearly to “ Bottle Bush." 
Here, however, this gallant “ Puss" was viewed, “deadbeat,” 
and the pack closing iu, a who-whoop ! resounded, after as 
good a forty minutes' gallop without a check as could be 
desired, the last five miles being almost as straight as a line 
across the country. 
“What shall iie have who killed the Deer?” — A few 
days ago, two notorious poachers from Forfar, named 
Frederick Thom aud John Stewart, were apprehended on 
the estate of Mr. Chalmers of Aldbar, having in their posses- 
sion a deer each, and were brought to Brechin, whore they 
were identified and set at liberty in the meantime. 
Mr. Thomas Duncombe, M.P. — This gentleman has been 
for some time in a precarious state of health at Brighton. It 
is feared that he will be unable to attend to his parlia- 
mentary duties during the present session. 
Abingdon Election. — The election terminated on Tues- 
day in favour of Major Reed. There was a good deal of 
excitement during the day, and some skirmishes occasionally 
took place between the partisans of the two candidates, but 
no serious iujury was inflicted. At the close of the poll the 
numbers were, — Major Reed, 125 ; Mr. J. T. Norris, 117; — 
majority for Major Reed, 8.

KENILWORTH ANNUAL COURSING MEETING.—

Stewards ; Rd. Barnes, Esq., T. Harris, Esq., and F. R. Lcacroft, Esq, 
Slipper: Mr. Hy. Heritage. Secretary: Air. H. Bursell. Judge: 
Mr. Tibbett. 
This meeting came off at Stoneleigli Park, hy the kind 
permission of Lord Leigh, aud a more splendid meeting hai 
never taken place since their commencement. As may be 
expected, upon such au extensive range of grassland, tbe 
hares were very strong, the courses generally well, and 
several of them severely, contested. Every praise is due to 
Mr. H. Bursell, in getting up these meetings, as also for tbe 
superior comfort and accommodation he affords his patrons. 
The dinner, after the day’s coursing, was attended by up- 
wards of fifty, and a more sumptuous and inviting repast 
could not have been afforded. The celebrated Mr. Bunn, of 
theatrical notoriety, took the chair, and was in excellent tune, 
“suiting the action to the word.” The appropriate intro- 
duction to the most loyal toasts given, and his amusing 
anecdotes, charmed every one, aud gave a greater zest to tbe 
party. Mr. Heritage, the slipper, was highly commended, 
and the judge gave satisfaction. The following is a return
