THE “TALLY-HO0.” Last Day of the Coach- ing Season. TO YONKERS AND. BACK. Wet Weather, but Gocd-Na- tured Passengers. REVIEW OF THE YEAR'S WORK. The peblic ceaching season closed yesterday, the “Tally-Ho” making the last trip of the year to Yonkers Gnd return, Pleasant weather was boped for by the Boal “load,” but a more miserable day for a coaching l@ could not have been ordained. It began to Grazie before the Park was reached, and ere the leadery’ hoofs struck St, Nicholas avenue um- brellis were put up, and tho top of the hands Some yellow coach assumed the appearance of a Bollection of hugo black mushrooms, Yet the Party were sensible aod bardy, and they stood the Wind and rain with such good nature tout the trip must bo marked as successiul and enjoyable. From bhis time on, with the exception of a ran to the racea at Jerome Park on Saturday, the Tally-Ho will remain in wintor quarters. Colonel Delancey Kane, ite Spirited owner, will drop the whip and ribvons antil she orthodox day for recommencing—the Ist of May Bext. Fownes, the good-looking guard, and nis cheery Music, will no longer be beard on the avenue and the road, and the crowds at the Brunswick will miss their moonday and aiteruoon sensations in seeing the coach Spin up to the sidewalk and the ladies alight, THE LAST TRIP, It was just ten miautes to twel when the coach was atthe Brunswick, ready for the lust riders of the year, Smike and Daisy were the leaders and Jay aud Prince tho wheelers, A pink rosebud at the head of each set off the bright brass harness to perfection, At noon precisely Colonel Kane gathered up the rib- bons, Fownes proclaimed the departure and steadily over the stones of Fifth avenue the team set out for the Park, ‘The coaching party consisted of the follows (ng:—Colonel Kaue, coachman; the Misses Robinson, Mr, and Mrs, William H, Pendleton, Mr. Proudit, Mr. aod Mrs, Parkor, Mr. and Mrs, George Shields and Mr, Bherwood, Betore the Windsor Hotel was reached the coaching folks began to realize that rain was at nand, They aid not like the untoward circumstance, but the ladies at once produced neatly cut waterproois and the V damtiak heavy overcoats, and so, smiling at theiF bad luck, prepared for the worst. In cle Minutes Fitty-uinth street was reached, und the soach rolled wlong over the smooth, bard roads and by the lawns yet beautifully green, uatil Stotson’s was Teuched, where there was a halt to adjust rubber lap bovers, The skies had become darker and the storm Commenced in earnest, A minute or so more and the Borthern Doundary of the Park was passed; thea on to St. Nicholas avenue the coach sped merrily, with umbrellas up and the rain dashing cruelly into the faces of al, On and on, unmindiu!l of the weather, the “fally-Ho” kept up its schedule time, until at Carmansville in forty-one minutes sharp, t tirst change o1 horses was made, Smike aod Daisie gave way to Polo and Sheldon and the wheelers, ‘and Prince, were replaced by Rock and Blossom, ln o twinkling Us work was done, the Colonel was in bis Vout, the guard sounded the cheery norn, and away we bew team stamped along through tbe village to the old Kingsbrige road. Swiitly they sped by the handsome villas, gay with the folinge to the bowuty of its ~~ maturity, = Down Poured the rain, It struck umbrellas and lap covers like the suap of a whip. There was wickedness In it Little rilis were coursing down the coachman’s cheek and breast, and the lady that had the box seat looked 8 if she hud just emerged from under Niagara Falls. Hats were becoming badly aemoralized, und overcoats wero soggy; but what matters this? the party were merry and would not have the pace of the team any Btrongor, for they enjoyed it, and, as the old hunting Bong says, With music in plenty, oh, where was the hurry ? O'ER HILL AND DALR Soou tho Kingsbridge Hotel was reached and thor ‘Was another change of horses, Lion and Counte: end Pelbam and Huguenot now doiog service for tue Upper ground, The roud was good but billy. The autumn foliage was glorious, even if it was hanging limp, Elegant mansions and suug cottages between Vistas of groves and bills were seen on either sido, The ladies could wot fuliy appreciate the beauties of the road, for slong Wasuington Heihis tho skies seemed to open their flood gates avd \t Was just as much as they could do to keep their breath, yet tucy bravely kept their places aud were determined to remain outside to the end, Now and thea they peeped from under their coverings, and tuiching a glimpse of the scurlet and orauge of the foliage regretted they could not look around at will sven we passed on to Kiverdaie avenue, and tho hovses, teeing that the journey was approaching tho uu, clipped along at a brisker pace than ever. Througu the avenue into Broadway of Yonkers the coach shot aiong, apd with me womeu und children = rushing to doors Wondering why party wanted be out in such a rain, Colonel Kane, at 12h. 35m., pulled up in fronv of the Getty House, a nice ton, witi Buug parlors, and un abuudant iunch for toe rathor wet party. No passengers of the seusop bave been 10 better humor, and they did full justice to the dishes placed betore them, BACK TO NEW YORK. ‘The return to New York was accompanied by rain and achilling wind, aud the passcogers preseated a hovel picture to the wayside residents Lbrough the Park a patch of amber sky and 4 tiny mbbop of sun- vhine gave some hopes ol dry weather for the ride down Fiith avenue, vut this was not realized, and to the pat- fering and dashing of the rain, the music of tue horn wnd rounded peals of jaughter, Colonel Kane, at 4n, B5m., pulled up ut the Brunswick Hotel, threw bis ribbons over the backs of the wheelers, aud tue coaching season of 1877 was at un ond, i HISTORY OF THK SKASON, Colonel Kane's veuture has veen un attractive one, Qnd no coaching man ever worked hardor to wake popular @ healthy aud pleasant pastime than be. The Undertaking bas met with the encouragement And support it deserves, andthe year closes brimful of happy memories. On tho lst of May last, tue **Lally-Ho”’ began the season of '77 by running to New Rochello and back over the old Pelham road, distance twenty miles each way. For this road tweniy horses—borse to a mile—were required, Wonderiul Joaua wore curried from the start, (ue coach running fail nearly everyday, Colonel Kano had intended mak- ing New Kochelie the permavent abiding place of te “Lally-Ho,”’ ag be had built large stabies there, und tue pretty aud thriving place is his home during the same ther. The last siage ol the Journey, however, viz., trom Pelham Bridge to New Rochelle, about five miles, Decume so baa, very solt in wet weather, heavy and dusty in dry, and withal rocky, it was determined to sock better roads somewhero elso, as it would require ail the horses in New York State to do the above bit of road proper coaching pace. So on the Sih of July the “Tally-Ho” ceased running to New Rochelle und was placed on the Yonkers’ route July The coach bas gone over this road as tollows:—Through the Park, St Nicholas ave- uv, Kingsbridge roud and Rivoraale avenue, About 1544 miles. The coach left the Getty House, Yonkers, Juiy 8, ateight A. M., aod arrived at the Bruvswick Hotel at 9:30 A.M. Returning It left New York every evening at 4:30 o'clock, aud arrived Bt the Getty House at 6 o'clock, {hw timo table (called the summer arrangement) Was aduered to throughout Jay, August aud September, Very fair loads were carried duriug these mouths, mostly people of Riverdale, Indeed, ove party of gentlemen, all por- Diauent residents of the latter place, took tho whole couch two days down and two days up for each week during the entire soason, Many of those residing at The Locusts, in Riverdale, patronized the coach. One hel nog never missed a day, both up and down rips, lor three months. URAVY WORK FOR THE COLONEL Tho avove time table made heavy work tor Colonel ane. He was compelled to leave bis house at Ni ochelle about six o’cieck every morning, as Le bad to ride or drive over to Yonkers—ten miles away—to catch the coach, The Colonel rode bis superv pony Brownie about half the time and drove the other days, He breaktasted at the Getty House, Upou returning to Yonkers he rode or drove home again in the even- 1og—so he bad tweuty miles to do daily in addition to the thirty miles on the couch, The Colonel missed very tow days the “Taily-Ho” ran on the above time table until Octover 1, when, the absentees beginning to retura io sown for the winter, the autuinn arrangement was 1n- augurated and continued until yesterday, Kightecn horses have beon required for the Yonkers route, as to it 18 billy, but splendid, bard and smooth all the way, It has no bad places like the New Rochelle routo, used have bee Rock, gray gelding, bay gi 15; Daisy, brown Walter, bay gelding, '15,3 Koa Coat, roan gelding, 15.3; Blossom, skewbald maro, Bmike, piebald gelding, 16. iy gelding, heldon, gray gelding,’ 15.2; Lady Nora, tay 16.1; Lily, bay mare, 15,2 m, chestnut Huguenot, 16; Pilot, chestnut, gelding, y gelding, Jay, bay gelding, 15.3; and Blondin, chestnut ding, 15.2.

TAK WOSINESS DONE, Tho books of the coach show that about seventeen hundred passengers have beon carried on the ‘Tally.

BOUCICAULI’S CHALLENGE, VIEWS OF AN OLD PLAYGOER ON COMEDY—THE ‘THEORY AND THE EXAMPLE. New Yorx, Oct. 30, 1877, To Tus Epitor or THe Hekaty:— Asan old playgoer and an inconstant reader of your Journal for the last thirty years, out not as a dramatic critic, | venture to give a definition of “comedy” that I believe the gifted author of *London Assurance’? will not quarrel with, I fancy that more than one draipatic critic not four thousand miles off will scarcely sympathize with the good humor of Mr. Boucicauit’s deflance, and I do not envy the librarian of the dramatic department of the Astor or of the British Musoum during tho period of this playtul con- troversy, The inquiry is by n0 means novel, and Mr, Bouct- cault will admit my right to an opinion on the sub. ject when I assert my faith in the perfection of the comedy of the seventeenth century in the works ol the immortal Moliére, ‘Tartuffe” and the ‘Avare;” of the English mmedies ‘She Stoops to Conquer” and the ‘Rivals’ of the last century, and, of the present century, of Boucicauivs “London Assurance.” Molere appears to us still, in comedy, the type undeviutingly to be followed. Jobo Kemble, in comparing the dramatic authors of Great Briiaiu and France, among tet latter did pot place Moliére, pretending that oban ulove bad brought forth at Paris a man who, b: talent, belongs to the world entire, If Moliere is not appreciated by all nations, it 5 tuere can alone be comedy with ned and polishes people sufliciently advanced in civilization to find ainusement in ropresentation of the neglect or ignorance of those duties which custom demunus from us; the thoughtless egotism 1s necessury which fam ity with society naturaily brings, and which makes us feel a sort of Joy at the aspect of a man less comme tl faus than ourselves. That is way comedy pleases more in ripe age than during youth, Comedy, such us it bas been until this Lime, ts the houost represeutation of un ordinary action, more or legs interesting, taken (rom civil life, aud arranged in such a manner as to bring out the character uf those personages placed betore us, It is trom the natural disposition of man toselze the ridiculous that comedy draws its force and its means, but it is necessary that the incidents which it represents should not be sufil- ciently wfilicting to excite pity nor odious enough to Inspire hutred, nor dangerous enough to give fe The nce of comedy is to provoke a smilo, litle com, le with tho pussions above indicated, and vice alone belongs to comedy when it louds to the amusing, ‘Tuis peed of satisfying human malignity is as an- cient as that of oxciting pity for the miuslapa ot man, the end proposed by tragedy, bet trom the days of ‘Terence aud Plautus we must leap to the sixteeuth century to Gnd again iu the dramatic pleces of Bibiena and Machiavelli the traces of good comeay. In France it was ignored till the ‘Menteur’ of Corneille, but Moll- Cre naturalized it, and the reading and meditation of bis immortal works ts the best study that can be made for comedy, Tc. HM, A BELALIVE DEFINITION— DRAMA, TRAGEDY AND COMEDY. New York, Oct. 30, 1877, To tas Evitok oy tak HeRaup:— In answer to the challenge of Mr. D. Boucicault, in the Heraup of October 30, “What is a Comedy?” I respond, ‘The stago should, of course, represent life as it is, and have the power of attraction, but mere amuse- ment should not constitute the principal part of it, There aro two chief poiats of view from which we can regard life, two great elements that enter into all ex. perience, and which correspond to what ts called happiness and misery. These are the comic and the tragic sides of life, and consequently a play which containg these two elements will be the most universal in its character and give us the most correct notion of real life, is the drama proper. Thore are people whose whole Mfelong experionce ia of a tragic character, while others unaccountably enjoy almost uninterrupted happiness and pleasure. The experience of the latter gives us the subctratum for « comedy, while thut of tho former gives us the substratum for a tragedy. Most lives are made up of th two great cle ite in different proportions, and thus wo have what ts called the drama, it ts ensicst-to write a drama, be= cause we have a greater variety of materials to draw from. ‘Tragedy rests on the high passions, virtues, crimes and sufferings of mankind, while comedy deals with the humors, tollics and ploasures of society, Tho elements of tragedy aro uuiversal and everywhere to be found, The elements of comedy also partake of this character, but misery speaks more forcibly to the human mind than bapptness and pleas- ure, Tho elements which constitute tragedy are easier laia Lold ot und easier understood. ‘The causea of misery are usually apparent, but the causes of hap- piness generally lie beneath the suriace, Besides, in tragedy, the murder or other orime speaks violently to the feelings of the audievce and enlists universal interest, but !t 18 a more difficult task to reveal the subtle sources of happiness, und render them intelii- gible, These and other reasons which we might men top make ita less difficult task to write a good tragedy than & good comedy, und the consequeuce 1s there are many first class tragedies but very few comedies that rise ubove the average, Henco we find that prizes ure frequently offered tor good comedies. ‘Tragedy 18 ometines Hable to fall into extremes, and delights in the horrible and flesh-croeping emo- tions, and, on the principle that “extremes meet,” it sumetimes borders on the farcical, But still wo have @ lurge number of good tragedies thut do not fall into these errors and transgress the rules of good taste, 1 the comedies, however, fall into the extreme This is ove of the principal ous why comedy, in the real senso of tbe word, is ree, and the general inability of authors to draw the Hive of distinction between comedy and farce is the chief reason why it is go difficult to write a good comedy. Since the days ot Aristophanes nearly every author of comedy has fallen more or less a victim to that tendency to overdo the character of comedy, and has, consequentiy, run iuto farce, while the writer of tragedy becomes too often the victim of that morbid desire forthe horriole—that blood-curdling syle for which Victor Hugo has such @ predilection, Such ex- tremes are i vad ta ruction and iu. culcate no morality; and, as we bave said in the be- ginning of this article, tostruction and morality ought to be the great objects that can never be lost sight of in any drainatic performance that deserves the name, We are sorry to ve obligor to make the sweeping as- sertion that these two clemonis are almost entirely wanting in modern theatrical literature, Dr. F, LEISS, This 4 DEFINITION IN THE INTERROGATIVE FORM— WHAT COMEDY IS, WITH S80MK IDEA OF WHAT IT 18 NOT. : New York, Oct. 30, 1877, To tux Epitor ov tuk Asraro:— “[ declare there 18 not in this country nor in Great Britain a dramatic critic who, affecting to sit in judg- ment on « comedy, can tell me what comedy is, Ho Canuot describe its component parts nor give a sonsi- ble definition of this kind of drama as distinguished from any other.’’ Alter considerable meditation upop the alleged in- Burmountabie diMcul attending the acceptauce of the above challenge we are vaturally impress (more or less) with the magnitude of the undertaking, and consequently we would #pproach our conclusions with FeuLiments of modest aud unpresumptuous inquiry, We will, therefore, confine our remarks to interrogu- tories. lx not a comedy @ drama in which the painful phases of social life are generally, if not exclusively, omitted ¥ Is not a comedy a play tntended to embrace as many of nature’s smiles as may consistently be admitted, keeping the general tenor of said play on tue consery- ative side of burlesque? 1 not comedy a living picture of all that is laugha- ble in nature, yet at the sume time periectly true so that nature which it presumes to represent?

A reporter of the Heap yesterday succeeded in Gnding Captain Lurkin, the rescued commander of the Maggie (from Portsmouth, England, since re- Ported abandoned at sea), and received from him the following account of the disaster which overtook the good brigantine :-— 7 THE CAPTAIN'S STORY. “The brigantine I commanded,” said the captain, was, 1 thought, a stanch ship. She was built at Portsmouth, England, just opposite to the Isie of Wight, and was a m for a medium sized vessel, 1 do not know what trade she was origially intended for, but she was Iaid up about filteen monthe and offered tor sale, and it ‘8 possible, yet I do not know, that the oakum bad rotted out of the seams during thie idle time and thus leit the sea a chance to get the better of us. There is no doubt thata ship, likea man, Is the worse for not being actively employed, Well, we started in ballast for Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and after betng out a tow days we encountered terrific gales, | have been a seagoing man for many years, but the way it blew off the coast of Ireland, and even when we got rid of the shore, was something appalling. We could not senda man aloft, and the decks were washed with such a furious sweep that it was ag much as a man’s life was worth to venture out of hatchways, I bave been off the coast of Labrador, where the cold nor'westers sWeep across the waters, and also in the Mediterranean when the gales blew from the sou’east and wrinkled the face of the sea, making it what we sailors call ‘chop,’ but I have never seen Such Dusty Weather us the Maggie experi- enced during our voyage. When we wore avout eight days Out, ip tho middle of the dog watch, when from sheer tatigue | bad fallea asleep, | was startled by one of the sailors, whom I knew as ‘Charley,’ cail- ing:—‘Captain! Captain! we've sprung a leak!’ 1 sprang on deck, sustaining mysell by ropes, and found that the alarm ol faise, The sca was sweeping over everything; the scuppers w choked and the water was’ filling the cabins and galleys; one of the skylights was broken and there was je ul Water pouring in tbe opening, | gave my orders and soon the crew, six inen, wore working gallantly at the pumps, But the water seemed to gain onus All bat night, the next aay aud the next, those taithiul fellows toiled—I think as much to save the ship as to save their lives, Some- Limes one of them would givo way trom sheer fatigue, and then @ companion would go and get him a biscuit steeped in brandy, and by this means revive him s0 that he could yo to work again, Remember while these brave fellows were working at the pumps the storm was raging, the soa was pouring ju at every open place, and there was no abatement of the wind. I never realized before what a little ratte ship was until | found myself ous ap the raging the brigantine Maggic, But it was Do use ; was gaining on us, and ag each day dawred ch night closed in upon us wo su found we were {illing and it was only a question of time how long wo could float, ~— We hoisted signals of distress about the time, according to our dead reckon- ing, We were off the Banks of Newtoundland, but we SaW nothing but the dead waste of sea—the cloudy, musty expanse of water on which we wore rolling like a log. 4 surP IN siouT. “But when we were in latitude 43 deg. north and longitude 63 deg, west, on the 22d of Ustober, saw @ brig in the distance, and at once (as far as we were able) bore down upon ber, renewing our signals of dis- tress. Tte vessel proved to be the Sophia Cook, of Halifax, commanded by Captain Joun Cook, and as £00n a8 Wo approached each oibor Captain Cook sents boat on bourd to inquire into our condition, It was deplorubie enough. We were rapidly fillicg and there was danger of our going down every miputy, The men were hungry and exhausted and almost fainting (rom their over-exertion, 1 do not think that two of them, Charley and Robert Wiis, could Lave endured the fatigue twenty-four hours longer. Our own boats were filled with water, and one of them was stove, 80 the boats of the Sophia Cook took the crew off to the later ship. The took about two hour I emained = with the Maggie until the last—indeed, until she was in danger of goiug down—and then I consented, at Cup- tain Cook’s request, to go on board of his’ brig. I don’t know anything about the insurance on the Mag- gie, but L am under the 1mpresgion she 18 not insured, ‘Ot course we sailed away trom‘the sinking ship, and L bave no doubi that now she is at the bottom of the ocean,”? STORY OF CAPTAIN COOK. “On tho day of October, in the latitude men- tioned by Captain Larkin, I sighted a brigantine with eusign down, aud of course knew sbe was in distress, She was bearing gown on us, aud we wuited for ber as well as we were ablo, but tho sea was rupnivg very bigh at the time, and it was with much difficulty that we launched a boat I could see that the vessel was waterlogged and roll- ing very badly. My mate boarded the shipand ro- jorted to me that it wus the Maggie, in bullast, tor Prince Kdward island, and that she’ was sinking. ‘The cuptain and 1 then bad aconferouce; be dia not, of course, wish mo to take charge until all hope of saving the ship was gone. I sutisfed myself, how- ever, that there was no chance of saving the vossel, and the crew were thea taken off. This occupied about two hours and was attended with consiverable danger, Captain Larkin was the last man to leave the Maggie. ‘I'he water at the time wo left the brig was over the ballast, and as the night ensuing was very stormy it ig not at ail likely the vessel kept afloat many hours after sho was abandonea,”? A WKKO OF THE Sua. The exploits of Uuptain Johu Cook in saving ship- wrecked mariners are matters of nautical uistory, aud for @ commander as youug as be—his age 1 ‘about forty—quite remarkable. In the State Departincat there 18 a record that oo the first day of April, 1800, Captain Cook rescued the crew of the brig C. C. Vau- bora ia the Bay of Fundy and landed them safely at Si John, N. B. These poor men tad been twenty. four days im ap open boat, and had sullered all imaginable horrors irom jack’ of 1ood and water and exposure to the storms that were then raging. In 1572, om the 15th of December, Captain Cook had the good fortune to rescue the crew of the American schooner Ravonswiny, of Stovington. This company cousisted of seven men and they were taken to Dem- erara by Captain Cook, whither be was bound. For thia act he Was presented by President Grant with an elegant gold watch, the Inside of the case being in. scribed with au acknowledgieut of the service for which the gift was made, Tue rescue of the captain und crew of tho brig Maggie, therefore, makes tho third in the list of vessels that this brave officer has been fortunate enough to relieve in their bour of dire peri, CIGARMAKERS' STRIKE, THE QUESTION OF NATIONALITIES—IMPOSITION UPON RELIEF SHOPS.

Mr. Harper, the owner of Ten Broock, ts now watching bis famous horge at Jerome Park night and day. Heand Ten Broeck are almost one; he cares tor him as tenderly and as affectiovately as he would for his own wife, and as he is a bachelor there is no woman to be jealous of Ten Broeck. When Mr. Har- per is compelled to close his eyes tora few bours? sleep or hurry to his hasty meals at a neighboring boarding house, his trainer, Harry Colston, a good looking darky with a little trig mustache much darker than his skin and bearing evidences of carcfal cultivation, watches over the precious charge, if not with flaming sword at least with avery alert eye, How many visitors to Jerome Park, who, having not even been deterred by the rain, bad come out to See the celebrated rival of Parole, bad to return to the city yestorday ina supreme «tate of disgust because Mr. Harper would not allow them to take even a peep at Ton Broeck | “He's got bis clothes on,’ be would mumble eva- sively, “IVs so damp that I’m afraid holt catch cold.” 5 “But, Mr. Harper, may I not look at him as he is?

He Bays but little, and seems to feel ill at ease in conver- sation, Nevertheless, the writer wag able to draw out some interesting facts regarding the man and his horses during a visit which be paid Mr, Har. per yesterday. THE HARPER PAMILY, “are the Harpers natives of Kentucky #” was one of the questions asked, “We ure of Dutch origin,’ Mr, Harper replied, Speaking with that indescribable accent prevalent in the more remote backwoods portions of Kentucky, and which gave bis words a pecultar spice, “My grandfather, Adam Harper, came from Virginia, My futher was born at Woodtcrd, Woodford county, Ky., where he lived a8 a farmer, but he did also consider+ ablo in trading horses, I still live at the old home- stead in Woodford.” “Was it from him you acquired your taste for tho turf?’ “No, I Jearned it from my uncle, John Harper.

That waa a bandsome fortune in horseflesn ?”? “Well, my uncle used to say no horse wus ever Worth over a tuodsand dollars, buv’”? he added, with & cunning twinkle of his cold, steady eye, “I'shink ‘hoy uré worth all a man can gel.” “What other members of your family have been connected with the turi?’? “Well, my cousin, W. F. Harper, used to train and run horses, He was pretty successful at it, too, but he vever went outside of Kentucky.’” “Have you any sons who have inberited your sport- ing abilities ?” “No, sir; I’m a bacholor, Mr. Harper replied, dryly. “ten Broeek’s my wite, But l’ve xot several nephews who know something about horses—the eldest is twenty-two, I don’t know, though, what they'll do with my horses when they jet thei, FORTY-FIVE UORSES. “How many horses bave you, Sr. Harper??? “lve got forty-five.

A BATCH OF CROPPERS. All Down but One—Nobody Come plains of Damages. Despite the disadvantages of very unpleasant ‘Weather and the dangers of the chase over wet, slip- pery ground, in a dismal, blinding rain storm, the Sela out at yesterday's regular meot of the Queens county hounds was by no means small. About ff toen horsemen were in the saddle, and one lady, braver than most of her sisters, ventured forth against the chill breezes beneath a lowering sky to join in pure suit of the “noble science.” Before the start, which was to be trom East Meadow Brook, where the kennel is located, the indications of a coming storm were such as would have induced most people to forego the rather doubtful pleasuro of a ride in the rain, But the ed sportsman combats all obstacles not wholiy insurmountable ta pursuit of his favorite pastime, and bis plack ts not unfrequentiy well repaid. At least so it was yesterday, for the run wasa very good one, though about nine out of ten of those who tried to follow straight were scat sprawling over tno fences, or stood op their beads upon the turf, while their steeds, with heads erect and flowing manes, went prancing rideriess behind the fying pack. Yet no one was seriously burt, even if their natty white cords and pink coats, 0 brignt and pretty at the start, wero dingy and mud-bogrimed long betore the finish. It ‘was a scattered eld very soon after the find, but the pack ran well, though the fox got away in a thick wood—Baraum’s Wood—a little eust of Hempstcad, alter a long chase. The wet weather prevented the gathering of any considerable number of spectators, Oue carriage, containing General Taylor, of Louisiana, and aome ladies left Garden City about noon, and snother, belonging to Dr, Brown, of Garden City, started somewhat later, There were aiso a few wagons at the kennel from the country side, one of which was |b open trap containing some ladies, The gentle- meg in pink wero Mr. F. Gray Griswold, Mr ‘Zbofowski and Mr. Center. Tho other gentlemen out wero Mr, Pierre Lorillard, Jr., ov Preston; Mr, Lloyd S. Bryce, on Resolute; Mr. Frost and five or six young men of the neighborhood, Mr, Belmont’s man rode a horse named His Lordship. ‘he pack were turned loose promptly at one o'clock, Fitzpatrick, the taithe tul whip, being suilictently recovered to resume hiv post. TUB RUN AND THE RAIy. A few hundred yards to the east of the kennal tha dogs struck off, catching the scent just as the first drops of the coming shower bogan to patter tn the faces of the horsemen, The hounds made merry mu- sic to announce the find, and soon pecked closely and rap rapidly, evidently baving a high scent, Their course at the start was toward the southeast, and at the beginning of the run the fences were quite low, ‘They were found to be stiffer as the chase progressed, und when a mile or go bad been traversed the feld was pretty well scuttered. Tue ground was so slippery that the horses found it hard work to keop therr stride, They slipped and sprawled a3 they approached their fences, and tho exertion and worry soon commenced to tell on them, Meantime tho rain had incroased, and now, with bri ervais of cessation, was pelting sharply aguiust the speeding field, The’ ground was geting softer and more treacherous, and the difficultics of a direct pursuit of the chase were consequently increas- ing. Soon the trouble commenced. One aiter another fell until the whole feild of jumpers, with the single exception of the master of hounds, Mr, Griswold bad measured their lengths upon the well sprinkled earth, crorrers, His Lorhship, Mr, Belmont’s horse, was among tha firat to come to grief, He struck the top rail of a preity bigh fence and pitched forward into the tela beyond, giving his rider a pretty bad toss. Mr. Conter, whose big chestnut was boring along quite warmly, next went off, He remounted, however, but was sent to yrass a second time, on which occasion he seemed to balance on bis head a while with boots im air, Thia time his horse got away, leaving his muster to be taken, up by a wagon that chanced to approach at the time. Betore bir, Centor went down the second time Mr. Zborowski’s mare fel! over a stiff fence and spilled Mr. Zborowsk!, Who, however, was quickly up again. It was now Prestou’s turn, and, not to be out of the fashion, he dropped to his kuces after crossing gence rather lower than some he had taken proviously, send- ing Mr. Lorillard out of tue saddio, Mr. Griswold still kept bis sot, though his gray, rathor puzzled by tho state of the ground, had rofused his timber on or twice, Mr. Bryce wext bad a cropper. The whip even did not escape, hisanitnal shooting bim forward to land squarely on his buck while struggling to get ov me rails, So they tumbled one alter another, wuile the dogs still keptoa, The chase led to the’ east of Hempstead, the tox, a native of Loug Island, making for tho swampy Woodland Lereabents, Here, after a run of nearly eight miles, he was lost in @ etrip of dense wood, the rain being so Leavy ag to help destroy tha scent The run had continued about fifty minutea with scarcely @ check. TH RETURN HOMER. After boating about tis cover energetically, though Unsuccesstully, for a while, it was de up the search and head for home. The mayority of tha horsemen were buck at the kenael by ball-past two, & little muddy, but cheertul os crickets, Ib was o pretty even thing all round; nearly all had shared the same fate, and nobody complained of injury. lt had been ‘a very damp hunt, but the rain did not diminish the ardor of the sportsmen nor check the speed of the fox, who was fortunate enough to escape to bis native Woods. A canter to Garden City or Mineola, a hurried change of dross and a comfortable lunch taken with tue vest of suuces—a keen appetite—completed the dav, whose story was told over on the way back to New York and in thy cosy parlors of the hutels jory that was ros peated in tho taverns and ative ers’ fireside: which found attentive bearers wherever it was roe hearsed, KENNEL MANAGEMENT.
