ROTORUA NOTES.

HUNT MEETING. The first moet of the year of the Rotorua Hunt Club was held last week, two successive meets taking place on the following Saturday and Monday.

At the opening meet, after tea had been disposed of, Dr. Bertram, on behalf of the Rotorua Hunt Club, thanked the huntsman and the sporting contingent from tho Waikato for coming through, and giving so much pleasure to the Rotorua Hunt Club, lo Mr. Wynne Brown and his son they owed a debt.
