A ROYAL DEER HUNT. [WHERE WAS LORD ONSLOVVr | UNITED PEEBS ASSOCIATION. I The agitation in favour of suppressing the Royal Huekhounds was greatly strengthened by a cruel hunt which took place on 29th November. Two deer were carted from Windsor to Marlow, 20 miles away, and one of them let loose. It proved to be a poor-apiritod animal, and after travelling aimlessly about for a, while, with a crowd of small boys and ruffianly men at its heels, took refuge dpad beat in a farm yard shed. The other deer was then started, and turned ont less satisfactory even, from a sportsman's point of view. Instead of taking to the open country as any well-conditioned animal ought to ho.ye done, it ran into the outskirts of the town, and inally got entangled in a barbed-wire fence. There it hung for a time, with the hounds close behind, and when it extricated itself, it ran round the field, with the blood pouring from its mouth. Finally it foil in a dying condition, and the nearest butcher drove a knife into its heart. This is ono of the " Royal Sports," for tho continuance of which several aristocratic personages and the Windsor tradesmen recently petitioned the Qneen.
