PAKURANGA HUNT
MEET AT KELLY’S CORNER RAIN SPOILS SPORT Despite the unfavourable weather conditions prevailing on Saturday a large field attended the meet of the Pakuranga Hunt, held at Kelly’s corner, Great South Road, Papatoetoe. Included in the followers was a number of members who made the journey from Clevedon on horseback, and after the meet had to face the long ride home, in teeming rain. Rain was falling heavily when the first draw was made on Mr. Alex. Swaffield’s property, but after working for some time without locating a quarry, it was agreed to abandon the meet on account of the rain. Soon after turning on to the road a hare was sighted, and with the pack in f 'I cry led the field over a brush fence into Messrs. Stonex Bros.’ property, and continued through Messrs. Watts’s and Clapham’s farms, where it crossed the road into the barred country. The rain, was still falling* hard, the pack was worked off, and the meet was abandoned.
