Grey and Bcrti) laid a good trail, following the beach track and beach towards St. Clair, then round to Second Beach, up the cliff track, passing the “Castle,” skirting the golf links towatxK Burnside, returning' past the goli house, along Ing’s avenue into i’orbury crescent, finishing with a fast sprint along Victoria road. The members were afterwards the guests of the chib’s captain and deputycaptain (Messrs Hill and Mowat). and did justice to the excellent meal provided. Before dispersing, the club's president (Mr O.
