WITH THE HOUNDS

Hawke’s Bay Hunt Meets at Pukehaumoamoa ENJOYABLE OUTING (Contributed.) The hounds met at Pukehaumoamoa on Tuesday in brilliant sunshine, and hunted the country made available byMrs Holden and her son, Mr G. Holden. Their manager, Mr Davis, gave valuable assistance.

The hounds, moving slowly, drew ail the flat country on Pukehaumoamoa and Mr T. H. Lowry’s land across the Matapiro road for more than two hours without success, until finally, when making up to the hilly ranges opposite Mr E. Elliot’s boundary, a strong hare was put up, and gave a splendid liue. Turmug left over the flats it then turned right and led the hounds to the top of the Oliiti hills overlooking the lake. Then making downhill again the hounds finally killed in a manuka scrub patch, with certainly not a full muster of followers at the kill.

Almost immediately another hare went away, and tho hounds, rumuug fast, led the field across country to tlio Matapiro road, over the double to Air Elliot’s, and back to the gully ou tho Pukehaumoamoa side, where, after a slight cheek, they made their second kill.

The master then moved over to the Okawa side of the main road and drew the Grove, and as the hounds were working back to the road they round in tho mares’ paddock a lino that led them back to Mr Holden’s • front paddock where they cheeked and lost just below the woolshed.
