A Flue Ran.
Tbe prospect of light weather aud a
ood nm Umpted out aw large dalagation
f tha fox chib this morning. There
were about fifteea in the siddle out of

it all in all, was a good turnout. 1 be

6 30, at which time Reyna-d was ciught,
and Capt. Bill Oldham had the brush.
The run was a very exciting ont; the fox,
although young, was very crafty and
doubled on his pursuers repeatedly and
at one tim j ran so clse to one of the
members of the club, Mr. Forshe. who
had iust dismounted, that that gentlamau
give him a cut with his whii.
