ay, early in November, all at once, strange hounds appear—followed by a whip, on a very much tired horse. A scene! The hounds get mixed—more horsemen follow, all looking pretty well done. Many questions are asked—Whichway have they gone? Have you seen them? Answered by, Wlio are you? Wherehave you come fi-om ? etc. Blessed if I dont think they be fish-hounds ! * says Bolter,helping to separate the packs. Fish-hounds be blowed! says the whip, were theHurricane Staghounds. Been running for two hours—our horses are all beat—must takehim soon, or leave him out. Change with my man, says Crop, and we will help you.Bolter is soon off the grey, and ordered home with the tired horse and his own hounds;Crop and the Kev. Chuff, as he is always called, and a few more joining the nowstraggling staggers. Delightful finish! The stag is safely taken at dusk, and our master arriveswith the Hurricane Hounds, huntsman, and whip, for gruel at the cottage on theirway home. * Draffhounds. (20) 1-
