We are afraid Mr,Borton has much to learn and to unlearn on the subject.

SPORTS AND COMPLIMENTS OF THE EAST KENT Hinmens.—The sub- scribers to the East Kent Harriers, Dover, feel much indebted to Mr. Robert Potter, of LyddenCourt (a farmer of some consequence in the neighbour hood, who has kindlyundertaken the management of the hounds),notonly for the excellent sport he has afforded the members, but for having been the means of reconciling many gentlemen in the environs who were hostile to the hunt, On Tuesday the 21st, after a very brilliant run from Elsa Langdon, they testified their gratitude in the presence of a large field. of .Nimrods, by presenting Mr. Potter with a beautiful silver bugle, with an inscription, engraved under the direction of H. P. Bruyers, Esq. The gift was accompanied with a most appropriate speech from Ii. Joyce, te which Mr. Potter, with a warm appreciation of the compliment, made a very impressive, though short reply. The well-known blast was then sounded on the dazzling instrument ; which giving new vigour to the hounds*, they were soon in full Cry in pursuit of fresh game, and an- other gallant run was added to the calendar of the East Kent Harriers;— From a Correspondent.
