NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1877. THE BRUSH. Yesterday's Run With the Queens County Hounds, BRISK GALLOP ACROSS COUNTRY. Rome Steep Fenees Taken-—A Few Falls, But No Accidents. THE HERALD GETS A TROFHY. Tho second preliminary meeting of the Queens County Hunt, heid yesterday, brought out a field of at larger than the first day, and re- Bulted in w splendid dash of some eight miles across Sountry after a fox, who lost his brush tn a corafield about a mile to the south of Hickaville. The day was Perbaps a irific warm, but not uncomfortably hot, as ‘Was the cave on the first meeting. The jumps were Rot quite so numerous or so stiff generally, though there were some good ones atthe finish; and while there wore some falls of horses aud riders all camo off Unseathed, Quite a large roud uttendance witnessed the sport, some dozen light wagons of various kinds Dearing over a score of spectators, ladies included, being present. Moat of the occupants of these wagons bad a good view of aconsiderable portion of the run fnd were delighted with what they saw. The mem- bers of the hunt deserve praise for the success attend- ing these early efforts, which give such good promise Of w successful tuture. A sport having so much to recommend it to the favor of all who are interested in the improvement of horse flesh, or in the cultivation of a manly disregard ‘of personal danger, should scarcely need advocacy at a time when racing and kindred sports are in such high favor. For the public generally hunting has its own Qdyantages. Any lady or gentleman who rides toler- ably well and 1s fond of a gallop may take a turn with the hounds without incurring risk. From this view {t may be encouraged as being calculated to promote a Jove for equestrianism and a desire to improve the horso, as wellas to perfect his training, The disad- Ventages ugainst which the promoters of hunting on Long Island wili have to labor havo béon shown not to be very discouraging, True, there are not as many good jumping horses or as many expert horsemen within a county there as one may expect to find in an English shire or an Irish county, but the location is close enough to New Yurk and the facilities for reaching the Places of meeting aro such ag to justify the oxpvcta- tion that many New Yorkers having the time and the means to participate may take a turn after the pack. And so, no doubt, they will within a short time, ‘Yesterday the announcemaat was that the meeting would be at the kennel at one o’clock sharp. Upto Boon everything was quiet at Garden City—the point from which the bounds started on the 3d inst, A fow ‘Wagons had been driven up to the hotel by that time, and it soon became apparent that there Would be others after the houads besides those Who went on horseback.

BRITISH AND AMERICAN MALKSME [From the Sporting Gazette, Sept, 29] Fow persous who had carefully studied the records of American long range shooting during the past year could have had much doubt as to the tissue of tho in- ternational contest decided at Creedmoor on the 13th and 14th inst. The best individual and aggregate scores In the competition tor the Eleho Shield had been frequently exceeded in America, and the two Victories of American teams over the “crack” Irish teams showed that im loug range sbooting cousin Jovathan meant to “whip creation”? 1t must, there. fore, have been with something of the feeling of afore, lorn hope that Sir Henry Hulford’s team of British marksmen sot out for the States. That fecling must have deepened during the practice at Creedmoor pre- Vious to the match, The two teams shot regularly at the practice targets every day, aud their scores were always carefully compared, The result of the last six days of practice was that the American team scored 9,057 points ugatnst 0,410 scored by the British teum, ‘Tuis gave a prepouaerauce of 247 points in the six days’ suooting. But the disheartening feature ot these six days’ shooting to the British team was that ou tive out of the six days thoy were headed by tha Amorican team, and only odco did they boid their ow: aad (hen only by two points, the American score bet that day forty-six points lower than on any other da ‘The diflerence between the two teams was thoroug Giscounted betore the match, and it was evident Ut contest must, bar accidents, oud in favor of ¢ Americans. {he only redeeming feature about t six days’ practice was that the highest indi vidual score was made by Milimer, of the Britten Wwam, who scored 1,226 out of a possible 1,350, Hyde, ol the American team, running Ulm very close with 1,224. Uuder these depressing circumstances {t would not have been surprising ii the British team had made but a poor fight in (he great match, But it re- dounds greatly to their credit that they made a most gallant and plucky struggle when the crucial test came. Each (eam outdid its previous best record, and the shooting ou both sides w. been seon belore, It is now mi the Amerjeans were Viciorious in the two days’ shoot. jug by utuety-two points-—a decisive victory for the po doubs, but uot am inglorious deioat for us, The mast, as we have said, have been hanging over u Briush team the consciousoess of a grim toregone couciusion against them, aud their maniul aud yesolute struggle is, therefore, all tue more crediavie wo them.
