Tlio club ; was fortunate in again having the permission I of tho property holders to uso tlieir land, over 'which this and lust year's meetings "were held, and which is admirable hare country. " Pues, however, lay veTy close, and mostly roeo behind the beaters, -where a slip could , not 'o> effected, henco tho sport was somewhat slow, and in -tlio carlv aftornoon a fairly- ' [ dense fog come up to further add to tho "dis- ■ comflturo. However, ; raanv excellent courses wero witnessed, especially that between • Dainty and Comedietta, p. long and Jbril- , linnt course, ending in a clever kill. Dainty ' received an ovnlion, and in tho succeeding round in receiving the verdict over Star of .Erin, deservedly carried off tho honours\of tho meeting. Norman Tuckfield, who was third dog in the last Waterloo Cup-, "also gave a splendid exhibition of his wonderful ppcerl in his conrao with Tautapcre. Others deserving mention were Sweet Home and Carlyon. v.; . Owing to the failing light it was impossible to finish the stake, and a division wair decided upon, this being made possibly through! tho generosity of the owner of Dainty, 'Mr D. Cave, of Sfethven. Tho owners and dogs . participating in the division of tho stake wcrn: —Mr t>. Cave's fawn' bitch Dainty.- Hr C. M-ark'a (Dunedin) blk and w d Norman Tuckfield, Mr M. Hurley's red dog Carlyon, Mr W. Edgar's blk and w bitch Sweet Home. M r B. McKennn, as judge,«ffave complete piititifaetion. and the slipping in tho hands of Mr E. Shortt loft nothing to bo desired.
