Here the packs divided, and a race was held, for about, two miles and a-half, several of the younger members showing up exceedingly well. From the reservoir the trail led down to the Kaikorai Valley road and up Barr street home. A fast finish resulted in Harbrow being first, closely followed by Wood, Inglis, and M'Connel. ■ NORTHERN CLUB. The Northern Harriers held their Mile and a-half Handicap run at Forbury Park on Saturday. There was a good entry for the race. The limit men made the pace solid, starting off in fine style. The placings for tho first round were: Howie first, followed by M'Kinley, Armishaw and Henderson, in that order. In the second- round the field drew closer, and the pace slackened somewhat, though it' was still hard. Young, who was running nicely, came into the lead, -while Howie and M'Kinley followed him a short distance behind, Watson being .the fourth man. On rounding the corner of the straight in the final lap, Trochon passed Young, who was now followed by M'Kinley. Trochon maintained a slight lead for the remainder of the run, which resulted: Trochon (35sec) 1, Young 60sec) 2. M'Kinley (80sec) 3. ST. KILDA CLUB.

The weekly rur of the Civil Service Club was held from the Caversham school. About 30 members took part. The paper was in the hands of J. Kennedy and C. K. Melville, who laid a rather lengthy but excellent cross-country trail, taking in practically every type of running. The runners were divided into fast and slow packs. The fast pack/ under Captain Stevens and Deputy Captain Brown, made a steady pace over the whole course, while the slow pack, under Deputy Captain Melville, took a sJow jog over the distance! The trail followed Playfair street and Corstorphine towards the golf links, and then acrosscountry to the Green Island Beach. The running along the sand proved rather heavy work, and the packs were forced to moderate the pace. From the beach the, paper led across the paddocks to the Brighton pad. which was followed to the junction of the South road. Along the south road the running proved easier, and. |rom the top of Lookout Point a fast run home was made In the fast pack BR. MKenian was first, closely followed by C. S. Thompson. In the slow pack R; Craig was first followed by H, J. Brown and A. 0. Melville.
