OTAGO HUNT CLUB
Meeting At North Taieri The hounds were in great fettle for the Otago Hunt Club's meeting at North Taieri on Saturday, and, giving plenty of tongue, were well clear of the field. The experience gained by thoroughbreds in the hunting field has proved valuable in steeplechase events, and already this season several 'chasers have made their appearance.

Skinner, and the trustees of the Bov Scouts' farm, and congratulated the new members on their performances. Those who followed were; The master, Mr J. E.
