HUNTING-MATCH, n. f. a match of horfes in hunting, or a wager upon their swiftnefs. The first thing to be confidered by one who defigns to match his horfe for his own advantage, and his horfe's credit, is not to flatter himself by enter taining too high an opinion of his horfe. Some gentlemen are led into this error, by being mifta ken in the speed of their hounds, who, for want of trying them against other dogs that have been really fleet, have fuppofed their own to be fo, when in reality they are but of a middling speed; and because their horse, when trained, was able to follow them all day, and upon any hour, to command them upon deep as well as tight earths, have therefore made a falfe conclufion, that their horfe is as fwift as the best; but, upon trial against a horfe that has been rightly trained after hounds that were truly fleet, have bought their experience perhaps full dear. Therefore, all loe vers of hunting should procure 2 or 3 couple of tried bounds, and once or twice a week follow after them at train feent; and when the horse is able to top them on all forts of earth, and to endure heats and colds ftoutly, then his speed and toughnefs may be relied on. That horfe which is able to perform a hare-chafe of five or fix miles brifkly and courageously, till his body be as it were bathed in sweat; and then, after the hare has been killed, in a nipping frosty morning, can endure to ftand till the sweat be frozen on his back, fo that he can bear to be pierced with the cold as well as the heat; and then, even in that extremity of cold, to ride another chafe as brifkly and with as much courage as he did the former; a horse which can thus endure heats and colds is moft valued by Iportfmen. Therefore, to make a judgment of the goodness of a horse, observe him after the death of the firft hare, if the chafe has been any thing brifk; if, when he is cold, he fhrinks up his body, and draws his legs up together, it is an infallible fign of want of vigour and courage; the like may be done by the flackening of his girths after the first chafe, and from the dulnefs of his countenance and his teeth, all which are true tokens of faint nefs and being tired; and fuch a horfe is not to be relied on in cafe of a wager. Various barbarous cuftoms formerly took place in hunting matches, equally inhuman and destructive to the horses,

which, when very equally matched, were often both spoiled, while the bets were left undecided. This brought in the custom of train-scents, which was afterwards changed to 3 heats and a straight course. The fewer of thefe before you come to the courfe, if your horse be fiery and mettled, the better; and the fhorter the diftance, the better. Above all things, be fure to make your bargain to have the leading of the firft train; and then make choice of fuch ground, where your horfe may beft fhow his fpeed, and the fleeteft dogs you can procure; give your hounds as much law before you as your triers will allow, and then, making a loofe, try to win the match with a wind. If you fail in this attempt, then bear your horfe, and fave him for the courfe; but if your horse be flow, but well-winded, and a true fpurred nag, then the more train-fcents you run before you come to the ftraight courfe, the better. But here ob. ferve to gain the leading of the firft train; which in this cafe you must lead upon fuch deep earths, that it may not end near any light ground; for this is the rule received among horfemen, that the next train is to begin where the laft ends, and the laft train is to be ended at the ftarting place of the courfe; therefore remember to end your last on deep earths, as well as the first.

The young lady, in danger of being furprised one night by her mother, who had just been informed of her being in the com pany of her lover (a young gentleman of inferior rank, whofe addreffes were difapproved of by the family) ran to the top of the tower, and took the defperate leap of 9 feet 4 inches over a chaẩm 60 feet high; and luckily lighting on the battlements of the other tower, crept into her own bed, where her aftonished mother found her, and apologised for her fufpicion.

HURA, in botany: A genus of the monadelphia order, belonging to the monccia clafs of plants; and in the natural method ranking under the 58th order, Tricocca. The amentum of the male is imbricated, the perianthium truncated: there is no corolla; the filaments are cylindrical, peltated on top, and furrounded with numerous or double antheræ. The female has neither calyx nor corolla: the ftyle is funnel-shaped; the ftigma cleft in 12 parts; the capfule is twelve-celled, with a fingle feed in each cell. There is but one species, viz.

HURA CREPITANS, a native of the West Indies. It rifes with a foft ligneous ftem to the height of 24 feet, dividing into many branches, which abound with a milky juice, and have fears on their bark where the leaves have fallen off. The male flowers come out from between the leaves upon foot-ftalks 3 inches long; and are formed into a clofe fpike or column, lying over each other like the fcales of fish. The female flowers are fituated at a diftance from them; and have a long funnelshaped tube fpreading at the top, where it is cut into 12 reflected parts. After the flower, the germen fwells, and becomes a round compreffed ligneous capfule, having 12 deep furrows, each being a diftinct cell, containing one large round compreffed feed. When the pods are ripe, they burft with violence, and throw out their feeds to a confiderable distance.

So, where our wide Numidian waftes extend, Sudden th' impetuous hurricanes descend, Wheel through the air, in circling eddies play, Tear up the fands, and sweep whole plains away. Addifon. (2.) HURRICANES, in the warm climates, greatly exceed the moft violent ftorms known in this country. "The ruin and defolation accompanying a hurricane (fays Dr Mofely in his Treatise on Tropical Difeafes) cannot be difcribed. Like fire, its refiftlefs force confumes every thing in its track, ia the moft terrible and rapid manner. It is gene. rally preceded by an awful stillness of the elements, and a clofenefs and miftiness in the atmof. phere, which makes the fun appear red, and the ftars larger. But a dreadful reverse fucceeding The sky is fuddenly overcaft and wild-The fea rifes at once from a profound calm into mountains-The wind rages and roars like the noife of cannon-The rain defcends in deluges-A difmal obfcurity envelops the earth with darkness-The fuperior regions appear rent with lightning and thunder-The earth often does, and always feems to tremble-Terror and confternation distract all nature-Birds are carried from the woods into the ocean; and those whose element is the fea, seek for refuge on land-The frightened animals in the field affemble together, and are almoft fuffocated by the impetuofity of the wind in fearching for fhelter, which when found ferves only for deAruction-The roofs of houses are carried to vast distances from their walls, which are beat to the ground, burying their inhabitants under themLarge trees are torn up by the roots, and huge branches fhivered off, and driven through the air in every direction, with immenfe velocity-Every tree and fhrub that withstands the fhock, is ftripped of its boughs and foliage-Plants and grafs are laid flat on the earth-Luxuriant fpring is changed in a moment to dreary winter. This

dreadful tragedy ended, when it happens in a town, the devaftation is furveyed with accumu lated horror: the harbour is covered with wrecks of boats and veffels; and the fhore has not a veftige of its former ftate remaining. Mounds of rubbish and rafters in one place, heaps of earth and trunks of trees in another, deep gullies from torrents of water, and the dead and dying bodies of men, women, and children, half buried, and fcattered about, where ftreets but a few hours before were, prefent the miferable furvivors with a fhocking conclufion of a spectacle to be followed by famine, and when accompanied by an earthquake, by mortal diseases." Thefe deftru&tive phenomena are now thought to arife from electricity, though the manner in which it acts in fuch cafes is unknown. It feems probable, indeed, that not only hurricanes, but even the most gentle gales of wind, are produced by the action of the electric fluid. See WIND, WHIRLWIND, &c.
