The Hunt on Saturday was a rather tame affair in comparison with the others that have taken place during the season, this, however, we do not mean to say that the Hunt was devoid of a maximum amount of sport to the riders and enjoyment to the spectators; but the number of competitors was the smallest of the season, and the country crossed by the foxes embraced few jumps, making it nearly all _gallopin; Carlill, "the winner of the last rogalar Hunt, had the privilege of laying the. paper, but asked the Stewards to perform the task for him. The start was in the field beyond the gardens at the back of the Siccawei vi and the course lay along the Hun Road for a'distance of about two when it turned in the direction of Jessfield, and thence a straight course was taker back to the Siccawei Road, the fini being over the tidal creek near the first bridge. The weather was gloriously fine, and, as usual, there was a large concourse of spectators to see the start and the finish. Between twenty-five and thirty ponies started, and as far as the eye could keep them in view, from a coign of vantage on a mound, there were but two small jumps to take, and all the ponies passed over them without a spill, As we have said there was little jumping but plenty of galloping, the distaico covered being about ten miles, and the pace was described as decidedly fast throughout. There was only one check, somewhere in the neighbourhood of Jessfield. The final jump was a formidable one to look at, and some duckings were expected by the spectators, Mr. Brandt, on a griffin, was the first of the competitors to come in sight, followed by. Mr. Daniel, on Lupardus, and Mr. Wintle, on Conjuror, with about half a dozen others well up. Mr. Brandt, unluckily for himself, here lost ground, but he and Mr. Daniel came up to the final jump together. Their ponies cannoned, and it looked as if the griffin and his rider would be forced into the creek, but they managed to keep terra firma by turning along the bank and losing the chance of winning. Mr. Daniel's pony jumped the water, after walking down the embankment, and trotted in the winner. Most of the other riders followed his ex ample in tuking the jump, and the duckings expected did not take place. Mr. Wintle finished second, Captain Bolton third, on Lalmahal, Mr. Arbuthnot, fourth, on Gommander, and weighing over twelve stone he was awarded the first prize. Mr. Ibert was fifth on Spethan, anc Mr. Burgoyne sixth, The others came in in quick success sion, and it may be stated that the plucky little rider Master Fabris was again well up, Gnishing about eight or ninth.
