OTAGO HUNT CLUB MEET AT NORTH TAIERL North Taieri was the scene of great activity on Saturday afternoon, the occasion being the holding of the Otago Hunt Club's weekly meet. The club was favoured with beautiful weather, and a very successful and enjoyable hunt was held over the properties of Messrs D. Leishman, A. P. Gibson, and D. O'Connor. It is over 12 months since a hunt was held on these properties, and without doubt they provide ideal hunting country, and the spectators are also well catered for, as an excellent view of the whole run may be obtained from the hillside. When the hounds were sent away on the trail a large number of interested spectators, most of whom had motored out, had gathered on the hillside to witness the jump. ing. The run, which extended over two miles ,of excellent country,- started in Mr Leishman's property. The trail having been laid, the pack was sent away shortly after 3 p.m., and picking up the cent quickly and giving plenty of tongue, brought the large field of followers to the first jump, a post and rail, which was well cleared by all. The next jump was a thick hawthorne hedge with a water ditch on the landing side. This was a rather tricky obstacle, as the landing side o£ this iump was a ploughed paddock. Nevertheless it was very well jumped, the only fall during the run taking place here, but neither rider nor horse was hurt. Coming on through this paddock of Mr Gibson's, which materially slowed the field up, a corse hedge was jumped, bringing the followers to Mr O'Connor's property. The next jump was a post and rail and gorse hedge double across the North Taieri road. The post and rail caused several horses to baulk, but all eventually got over. Continuing, the next jump was another post and rail, which did not cause the riders any trouble. After clearing this jump the followers had a good run across Mr O'Connor's paddocks, in which several gorse hedges had to be jumped. The trail then led the followers across another road double, and after clearing this the jumping of two post and rails terminated an enjoyable run. Miss Isabel Reid, riding Rainbow, was the first lady in at the "kill," and is to be congratulated on her performances this season. The going was fairly good, with the exception of the ploughed paddock, and a _ very good exhibition of jumping wag witnessed. To show the keeness of two members for an afternoon's hunting, Messrs B. Burnett and James Higgle brought their horses by motor truck from Milton and returned after the hunt. The club is always pleased to welcome country members at the hunts, and would like to see many more participating. Among those present were the master (Mr J. E.
