AUCKLAND HUNT CLUB.
The meet postponed from Friday took place on Monday last, at St. John's College ; but a heavy storm probably prevented many from attending, who would otherwise have been there. The scent was laid over the paddocks lying between the College and the Tamaki, belonging to Mr. George Howard and Mr. Taylor. Commencing near the house of Mx.Heatley it took a circuit of about five miles, and finished at the Flagstaff. With the kind permission of Mr, Maclean, the master then offered to give a lead to anyone who would follow, and the whole party took their own line for Mr. Maclean's house, where they were hospitably refreshed. Among the visitors we noticed Mrs. and Miss Pitt, Miss Balneavis, the Missed Maclean, Miss Blackburn, Miss Tighe, Miss Nathan, Mr. Richardson, A.D.C., Mr. Atkyns, Mr. Maclean, Ac. The hounds were, Mr. Hendeison, Major Miller, Ist battalion 12th Regiment; Mr. Morris, Ist battalion 12th Regiment; Captain Spiller, colonial forces; whip. Mr. Matravers ; master, Major Baker. The afternoon turned oat fine, and everyone appeared to enjoy the sport. The Hunt have to thank Mr. George Howard, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Maclean, and other gentlemen, who so kindly per* mitted them again to cross their grounds.
