Sharpe, and | then in a circle to Mr. J. G. Grower's i farm, where it was eventually killed. ! Later the hunt moved on to Mr. T. Scott's farm, where another hare was put up which ran through Mr. W. J. Smith's property toward Russell Road and then back across the Homai Road and through Mr. J. Dreadon's farm to Mr. W. McLaughlin's farm, where the hounds had to oe whipped off. The hunt then moved to the other side of the Weymouth Road, and hounds threw off on Mr. K. Finlayson's property. At the back of the homestead strong hare was put up and this took the hunt across Mr; J. Hayes' farm, through Mr. Griffin's farm, and back across the Weymouth Road into some small holdings, where the hounds had to be stopped.
