The lovely weather on Saturday afternoon induced a large number of spectators, including many ladies, to turn out to see the Paper Hunt, and the field of riders was the largest of the season, The start was from behind Dr. Wynn's house on the Bubbling, Well Road, whence the. foxes lewie and Daniels, who finished a dead heat at the previous Hunt, and Mr. Brandt, the winner of the heavy weight's prize, laid as straight a course '8 possible to the Bubbling Well, then
the French Siccawei Road, which was then beak across the country to Loc-a-wei on akiztod as far as the village near the Her-mirage. They passed through the village on to the Hung-jow Road, over the start of a previous hunt, taking a sweep of the country up as far as the Fahwah vill down over the Fahwah creek and th crossing the Siccawei Road about midway betwoon the Bubbling Well and the Her-stage, over the difficult jump known as the chasm, and finishing about half a mile to the south of the Bubbling Well Road.

The latter part of the run included many formidable jumps, all of which, however, wore well taken the leaders, spills' being the exception and not the rule, and the finish was undoubtedly the best of the son, Over a dozen of the riders came view of the spectators almost as far as the eye could reach nearly together, and it was a neck-and-neck race to the flags between the first three, Lieut. Bayly, on Black Auster, Ins. Ogle, on Spalpeen, and Mr. 0. Holliday, on Shiddaw. The last-named lagged a little behind approaching the last jump, while the other two took it together. Lieut. Bayly, however, suc-coeded in forging his pony sufficiently ahead to win the light weight's prizoby half ahead, a honour he richly deserves, inasmuch as he has been foiled of the prize on the post two or three previous lunts, and his victory on this occasion was a most popular win. More than a dozen others finished within the short space of two minutes, Mr. Holliday being third, Mr. Craven on Ptarmigan fourth, Mr. Bobeo on Fizzle Afth, Mr. Schultz'on Caracalla sixth, Mr. Dowdall on Earl Siwald seventh, Captain Bailey, of the 26th Regt., on Palada, ighth, Mr. Ruegg ninth, and Mr. Reynell
