MANAWATU HUNT.

About the largest “field” of the Season assembled at Rangitikei Line on Saturday afternoon for a run with the hounds, and the beautiful afternoon tempted out one of the largest crowds of spectators so far this season, Among those following were a number of new riders, who shaped remarkably well for their first essay in the pigskin following hounds. Some new country was broken, and the three runs into which the hunt was divided brought forth some splendid fencing. The drags were laid by Messrs T. Taylor on Burlom and I.
