HARRIERS

At St. Joseph's Hall on Saturday, iiKrespouse to an invitation from the St. Joseph’s Harriers, the Dunedin, Civil Service, Dunedin Anglican, Sou them Bible Class, Cavereham, and Port Chalmers Clubs turned out in fiJl force to take part in a run from the hall. The Y..M.CA. were also represented by Messns- Lauren son And Lodge. This was about the largest muster of harriers ever heid in Dunedin, fully 100 taiking part. Shortly after three o’clock J Swanson (St. Joseph's), F. Munii (Dunedin). v j nn (Civil Service) were despatched with the paper. During the few nunutes start given to the hares the pack ranged up outside the hall and a couple ol photos were flapped. Two packs were sent out, one comprising between eevent'. and eighty runners, under Captain Hussey of the St, Joseph’s Club, and the other under Captain Melville, of the Dunedin The trail led up Rattray and Arthur streets to Littlebourne, down Tweed street into the Kaikriai Valley, when a turn to the right fields towards the Wafcnri road was taken. Here the hares were sighted, three minutes ahead, hut this evidently put them on their mettle, for they were not caught sight of again during the run The trail then led down past the reservoir to Woodhaugh. up the break neck hill to the Drive, where a good, steady pace was set to the Asylum Ground, when the pack were allowed to go all out for home. The second pack arrived about six minutes later. An adjournment was then made to the concert hall, where light refreshments were provided by Mrs Jackson and her lady friends. Mr D. Melville, on behalf of the Dunedin Club, thanked St Joseph’s for the afternoon’s eport, and in particular the ladies for the good treatment received from them. Mr A. Melville (Civil Service), Mr Scofield (Caversham), Mr A Tough (Southern Bible Class), and Mr Lilly (Dunedin Anglican) followed in a similar strain. Mr Hussey replied on behalf of S( Joseph's Club, and acknowledged the deep debt of gratitude his club were under, to Mrs Jackson, who voluntarily offered to arrange the matter of refreshment?, and had done so admirably Three cheers were given for Mrs Jackson and her friends. There was a good attendance of enthusiasts at the run of the Y.M C.A. Harrier* from the Anderson Bay Presbyterian Hail. The trail, led by Dawson and Idversidee. after passing through the new township of Waverley, led over some open paddock, in the direction of the Lower Portobel!. road. When on the road the paper con tinned along it for perhaps three-quarters el a mile before again ascending the slope and coming oa the Highcliff road on the way home.
