BRACKENFIELD HUNT

MEET AT WEST EYRETON

An enjoyable meet of the Brackenfield Hunt was held on the property of Mr M. Spencer Bower at West Eyreton on Saturday. After a sharp frost, the ground was hard in the morning, but a thaw soon set in and conditions were favourable. Hounds threw off opposite the homestead and were soon away to give the field many good runs over the surrounding open country. All the jumps were wire. One kill was made, a hare being pulled down on the main road.

There was a good attendance of both riders and followers in cars, all of whom were entertained to afternoon tea by Mrs Spencer Bower. Those riding were the joint master, Mr H. D.
