Day With the Hounds

HUNT CLUB MEET 1 The Manawatu hounds met on Mr. F. S. Mcßeth's property, on Wednesday, under ideal conditions. The followers had one of the most successful and cx- • citing days for many years. Shortly after throwing off, a hare was put up which ran for two or three miles before * being lost in the scrub. Almost imrnedi- ' ately a second hare gave an oxcellont » run of about five miles before the kill. t After another short run, the field cross- » ed the road and at once put up a hare • which eventually ran out of bounds, * after giving them a great chase for * several miles. > After a splendid day's sport, Mr. and ' Mrs. F. S. Mcßetli entertained the foi- » lowors to afternoon tea, together with a r number of onlookers. There were many * comments on the good jumping witnessed. • Those participating were:—Tho mus- ® ter, Mr. S. G. Perry (Handyman) | \ huntsman, Mr. J. J. Waller (The Banger); honorary whips, Messrs.
