The runners left I'rimi Mr. Ilarrv Aiicy's Roseland II I. Makaraka, and followed tin- main north ro:id foi a considerable distance before taking |o ibe open fields leailing in the south, where tlicy eventually arrived at ami followed the road leading to the Bridge 11,,1ei. from here the pack followed the river north until they reached Mr. Charles Tietjen's property, where they again took to the fields to come out on Bushmere r.oad. The runners still travelled, north for sonic considerable distance ami then crossed the padiiocks to the cast until the main north road was again reached. This was then followed south and home to the hotel.

A run-in over the last mile resulted : 1. Bell, 1: 1.. Thompson, 2: 0. yuinn. 6. The points gained in the runs-in count towards a trophy donated by Mr. Charles K. Brown.

Because harrying is such a clean sport, except for the'mud, and because much goodness and physical well-being arc derived, a cordial invitation is extended to all young men to join the Harrier Club.

There are joys for all kinds of runners and the good fellowship that exists in the club is much to be admired.

One or two of the younger runners are still taking things too seriously, perhaps, and arc advised to slacken their pace somewhat before things go' amiss. Those of the older runners who anticipate going to the llawke's Bay championships in August are warned that one should never put off till to-morrow that which can be done to-day. This applies to training. Start now and then when the time comes all will. he ready—not just, commencing or even half ready. Next week's run is to be a paper chase from the home of Mr. Ben Slade, all the runners meeting at the Cr.l'.O. at 2 ii.m.. no matter what, the weather is like.
