OTAGO HUNT.

By invitation of Mr D. Robertson, tho mombers of the hunt met at Higholiff on Saturday afternoon. The attendanoa was not so large as on the opening day, but, nevertheless, those -who attended were rewarded by a good afternoon's sport.- Tho line of country was entirely new, and as it was the first occasion in which this district had been hunted, the fences negotiated wero taken in their natural state, consisting principally oi stone walls and post and

rail. The scent was a good serving one, which the hounds immediately picked up when they were cast. A decided improvement on their working was noticeable, and, with the exception of one couple which ran to view, they kept to their line, and gave an interesting run, their music being heard for quite a distance.. Some intending spectators who motored, and others who walked, missed the sport, for the reason that they could not locate the venue. In this connection, the committee of the hunt would do well to select a viewpoint at each meet, and adviso the spectators. If this were done it would doubtless be much appreciated. At the conclusion of the run Mr and Mrs Robertson entertained the party at afternoon tea.
