The pack then ran|throngh the Botanical Gardens to the Woodhaugh Gardens, whence a fast run was made for home. , The combined Pacific and Caversham Harrier Clubs held the opening run of the season from the residence of Mr T. K. Sidey, M.P. Both clubs had a large muster, a total of 63 participating. W. H. Hobbs (Pacific) and A. Frye (Caversham) were entrusted with the paper. The clubs divided into two pa.ks, the slow pack being under the whistle of Captain A. C. Grey (Pacific), with F. Mouat as deputy-captain, and the fast pack was controlled by Captain J. Mill (Caversham), with C. Hebbard as his deputy. The irail led out from the rear of Mr Sidey’s residence, and struck over towards the coast, skirted the golf links, and then across country to the back of Green Island. Hera it circlcc. round, and after climbing the hills at the back of Concord, led across on to the Main South road at Lookout Point. After a smart run down the Main road into Caversham the pack turned up Sidney street, then across the quarry on to Elgin road-, which was followed to Lookout Point, and finally down the Main road to Sidey street, and round to Corstorphine.
