cannot keep too close to his business. Buying of them encourages the evil habit of keeping horses and neglecting their farms, as they cannot attend to them when out hunting. Besides, these fellows ride like devils. Only consider the bore of following the tail of an animal which has a brown coat on its back! it is a nuisance, and ought to be abated. Therefore, I say, buy your horses in town, of Anderson, or any dealer who will give you a long pedigree, and ask a longer price. On your first appearance you will undergo criticism almost as keen as "from the awful bow at White's." How triumphantly then do you answer any idle remark about hollow backs, weak loins, or the like, with "Got by Longlegs, dam by Slug out of own Sister to Stick-in-the-mud, thorough-bred as Eclipse--bought him of Tom Chous'em-cost me three hundred!" A stud-groom is indispensable: choose one who will not injure your reputation by any ill-judged economy; as he will draw from your purveyor of horses on every deal. Never buy a horse without consulting him; in this way you put money into his pocket without offending his delicacy: a truly good servant cannot be too well paid. Don't belong to the Old Club; they are all sportsmen, and would probably roast, and perhaps they would not have you 'twould be impossible to get on with such a slow set of musty old ones. Take a house by all means; the expense is nothing; and if your cook is really an artist, who dare refuse your dinners?

Having settled these preliminaries, let me give a few rules for your guidance in the field. Never

ride a hack to covert if you can go on wheels: if on a hack, go twenty miles an hour; anything under is deadly slow, and will destroy your reputation in the bud. When on your hunter, if a good jumper, lark him over the fences before finding; this will improve your own nerve, and make your horse quiet, during the run. If you get a fall, swear the man nearest, provided he be not "one of us," crossed you and made your horse swerve: damn him a few if he seems a quiet fellow. If any unfortunate Leicestershire Squire, troubled with gout and good feeding, presume to come out on his sporting pony to see one of his own coverts drawn, mistake him for his gamekeeper, and tell him to get out of your way, or you will ride over him. Always push through a gate as soon as it is opened, but never endeavour to prevent its falling to; such a proceeding is derogatory to a Gentleman, who cannot be supposed ever to have opened a gate for himself. Ride over a man who is down whenever you have the chance, provided you do not dine with him or he with you: always hope he is not hurt this way you establish your character as a hard rider and a good-natured fellow. When out with subscription hounds, ride among them at every check: if you kill a hound, add a fifty to your subscription. Sir Harry won't stand this; so do not patronise him, unless on a horse you can manage. Sunday is a dull day at Melton, but with the help of bull-terriers and a badger, or a lark to Leicester, it may got through. If your stud gets low, post to town on business. Enter a horse or two at Croxton

be

Park, and ride them yourself; you will lose, but will have the full enjoyment of a north-east wind in as bleak a place as England can produce, being duly attired in silk jacket, doe-skin breeches, &c. If your ambition soars yet higher, fight a main; and if you never back the birds your feeder says must win, you will not be a heavy loser.

Any young Gentleman who implicitly follows these directions must cut a distinguished figure; and I trust the New Club, when founded on these principles, will vote me a service of plate-an Honorary Member I shall be of course. If they do not, I shall not repine, being aware how seldom the best advice is duly appreciated.

Indeed I am one of those old

MALTON.

fashioned people who do not think that the introduction of all the vices of London into a country town is compensated by any expenditure how great so ever; nor can I conceive that Leicestershire

is improved by an admixture of town-bred knavery with provincial cunning.

But hold hard! I am preaching, in place of getting over the country; and here is my friend, the curate of Diddle'm, with a mount for to-morrow he can't accept, the Squire's Lady being at home, and he not having a sermon but what she has heard halfa-dozen times: so when my discourse is a little amplified, with a text at one end and an amen at the other, I will relieve him from his di lemma. WILL CARELESS.

Adieu !

John Hutton, Esq. of Marske, and John Booth, Esq. of Killerby, Stewards.

Deciding Course.-Mr. W. W. Fisher's Rosabella beat Mr. Croft's Sam, and won the Cup.

Owing to the kindness of the Hon. T. O. Powlett, in having the woods beaten by his gamekeepers for some nights previous to the meeting, the hares were plentiful on the coursing ground, but they did not run quite so stoutly as has been noticed on former occasions. In consequence of the great satisfaction which is given by the Trier (Mr. Terry, of Leyburn) in his decisions, and the excellent arrangements observed in beating the ground, the Club gains many new Members yearly, and may now compete with any in the kingdom in the number of its Members, and in their heartiness as supporters of the long-tails.

Timothy Hutton, Esq. of Clifton Castle, and George Wray, Esq. of Cleasby, were appointed Stewards for the next year.
