The meet on Wednesday afternoon was in the country opposite Birt's Wharf. About fifteen started overarather formidable jump, which brought Mr. Craven on Robusto and Mr. Maitland on Carandiné to grief. They
the rest of the hunt about a quarter of a eelily remounted, however, and caught mile further on, where there was a slight check. The course, which was laid by the Master, Mr. Low, accompanied by Mr. Macleod and Mr. Fearon, was rather a short one, not exceeding six miles; but the jumps were nearly all "screamers." The country was rather severe for the ponies, the ruts being un-snaily deep. The finish was over the same jump the hunt started with, and there wasa Splendid race for the last two hundred yards, four ponies taking the last jump almost simultaneously in grand style. Mr. Carlill on Gem was the first through the flags, closely followed by Mr. Howie on Black Cloud, and Mr. Wintle on Astrologer. Mr. Ogle's pony jumped short and threw him, as did also Mr. Arbuthnot's Commandeur but he managed to drag him in sixth and thus won the heavy weights.
