PAKURANGA HUNT.

MEET AT'HOWICK. Tlic Pal-.uranga Hunt met at the Howiek Hotel on Saturday morning, and after a hunt breakfast provided by Mr. and Mrs. Clark and Mr. A. Walker, proceeded to Pigeon Mountain.

Massey, it doubled back, and was lost on Mr. J. Gill's land. Another hare raised on Mr. F. Roberts' place took the hounds over much the same country, and was eventually lost.
