STALLIONS FOR THE SEASON-(Continued). The Dey of Algiers covered one season in Holland; and Birdcatcher and Launcelou winners out by in that part of the kingdom to their credit. FINE ARTS. THE PYTCHLEY MEET AT CRICK. Since Mr. Grant opened the ball, some years since, with the meet of the buck-hounds on Ascot Heath, we have had many a painter and publisher anxious enough to follow him. And this is not to be wondered at either, for the Royal Hunt was a picture calculated to be eminently successful. It was well treated in every way—the likenesses excellent, the difficulties of arrangement most judiciously disposed of, while the subject itself went far to make it, as it turned out to be, a capital speculation. Amongst those gentlemen who have followed us with other popular hunts, the brothers Barraud, deservedly enough, stand conspicuous. They began well, taking perhaps the next popular show meet after Ascot; viz., that of his Grace the Duke of Beaufort's hounds at Badminton. The work evinced forcibly enough the sufficiency of their strength, but it unfortunately suffered in the graver's hands, and, as a print, never attained that popularity the care and ability spent upon its original composition ought to have ensured it. Nothing deterred, however, the Brothers made another good cast when they declared for the Pytchley at Crick-that Crick our friend Scribble gets so excited over, and those clippers whose doings he jots down with so much hearty relish. Here they all are-Mr. Payne giving a wrinkle to the, alas! late Master, Lord Alford; while all the other good men— -Mr. Villiers, Lord Cardigan, Lord Bateman, Mr. Isham, Lord Henley, the Duke of Buccleuch, and some thirty or forty more-sit all ready for the start. In addition to these, the Pytchley meets have enabled the artists to introduce, with much advantage to their picture, the pony phaetons of the ladies Elizabeth Villiers and Marianne Alford. With two such fair objects of attraction, the grouping of the work was necessarily much facilitated, and there is scarcely a figure in the picture which gives one the idea of being "postured" for a portrait. As a painting, the Messrs. Barraud did everything for their subject, although justice compels us to add that we have seen Mr. Davey's handiwork in better keeping with his copy. The print, however, cannot fail to be popular, though just now it is associated with more than one painful recollection. The noble Master, Lord Alford, and the chief workman engaged on it, poor William Barraud, have both left us since the "Meet at Crick" was commenced. THE FAMILY PICTURES. MR.
