HARRIERS.

The Cargill Road Methodist Harriers ran from the Ravensbourne Church. Paper was dispensed with, and the club ran along the hills to St. Leonards, where the runners were divided, the slow pack starting for home, and the fast pack going as far as Sawyer's Bay hill before it turned for home, arriving shortly after the slow pack.

Tho Civil Service Harriers held thoiar weekly run from the Port Chalmers Rowing Club's shed, there being a large attendance. The trail led through Port Chalmers and Mussel Bay, the Port road race course being followed to St. Leonards. Here a break was made into the country, eventually coming out at Sawyer's Bay. The fast pack, under Captain Brown, held a run home from here along the cinder path, Olsen and E. L. Brown leading the way at the finish. After the run the members entertained the members of the Port Chalmers Anglican Ladies’ Junior Guild. t . The Leith Harriers held a well-attended run from Holy Innocents’ Hall, Leith Valley'. The paper was in charge of N. Clarke and D. Fraser. The pSck, under the whistles of Captain W. Buchanan and Acting Deputy-captain S. Peterson, followed an excellent trail down to the I aper Mills and up through the Quarry to Maori Mill. It then led through the Golf Links to the Kaikorai tram terminus. From the bottom of the hill a brisk pace was kept up till tho Littlebourne Ground was reached. Tho trail then led along Queen's Drive to the bullock track. Here the pack was divided, and a good run home was made, in which the younger members showed up well. B. Ashby. S. Anderson, and T. Buchanan being the first home. The members were afterwards the guests of tho vice-president (Mr A. Dryden). The Caversham Harriers ran from the Port Chalmers Garrison Hall, a total of 31 turning out. Great pleasure was afforded the older members of the club In having out with them on the run “Joe - Erridgo. one of the 1923 Otago representatives. It is hoped that this runner will be lit for the Edmond Cup race in a month’s time. C. W. Frye and J. C White set out with the paper, and led through George street on to the road leading round to Deborah Bay and Carey s Baj'. After passing those hays the trail led uphill on the side of Mihiwaka, and after following a long spur came down on to the far end of Long Bench, along which a good run was indulged in. On gaining the other end of the bench the road was followed to the junction of the road that loads to Purakanui Township. The club was then entertained by Messrs Frye. Some 2S runners of tho Pacific Harriers participated in the weekly run from Wnkari School. On account of the snow paper was dispensed with, and the runners were divided into two packs. Deputycaptain Williclcn was in charge of the fast pack, ami Acting-captain Pimley in charge of the slow pack. The packs travelled down Wnkari road, through the Golf Links, along to the Reservoir, round which they ran twice. After leaving the Reservoir the packs continued uphill into the region of the snow-capped summits of Flagstaff. After a run both packs made for home by the shortest journey.
