The Hunters' and Leaping Competitions, which are. always a strong feature in Hawera, are being well supported, and keen competition is assured. Military Competitors are notified that application should be made to the secretary for free passes on railway, at time of entry. The trotting races are sure to provide some very interesting I'sport, while a dog trial, to start, at 8.30 a.m., and open only to dogs that have previously won a, prize, should bring out the best performers in the district.
