EGMONT-WANGANUI HUNT. ENJOYABLE MEET AT MANAIA. For the second' time-*’this season hounds met at the residence of. Mr. and Mrs. F. Gamlin, Manaia, on Wednesday. The weather was ideal for hunting and a cool wind off the sea made one eager to be on the move. Hares were not so plentiful as usual, but those that were raised gave the riders a splendid run. ■ Throwing-off from the homestead Huntsman Myles took the pack to the river flat, and after searching for a while a hare was raised that gave a good run across country. The hounds were checked several times. One puss was sitting quietly under the horses and after gaining a short-lived rest jumped up and next time took refuge under the cars parked on the roadside. Hounds again searched correctly and the hare was off again, this time to the cliffs, and there she gained her welldeserved freedom. 1 . , Later in the afternoon another hare was raised and this gave a good run until time to stop. However, no kill. was made, although the hounds again ran very well. After an enjoyable cup of tea served by the popular host and hostess, the deputy-master took occasion to thank Mr. and Mrs. Gamlin, especially ‘ this time, he said, because it was only owing to their kindness that the club was , able to meet that day. Mr. Gamlin had been exceptionally kind and members of the Hunt Club fully . appreciated his. actions. Cheers were then called for.” '

"As a sportsman, Father Moore was a familiar figure ht the bowling green and. the croquet , and tennis lawns.

Father Moore, in reply, said he had ex- . perienced great pleasure in associating himself with and organising functions. No distinction between the various denominations had been made, which was very pleasing. He had made many friendships in Patea; he would say with- — out any suggestion of exaggeration or flattery that in any New Zealand home in any New Zealand town one was always welcome. He was sorry to leave Patea and the many friendships he had formed. He was going to Masterton. . Mr. A. T. Christensen endorsed the Mayor’s remarks. The parishioners, he said, were losing a priest, but he was losing a friend, and it was with a very sincere regret that he wished him goodbye. The prize-winners of the euchre tournament were Mrs. J. Gunn and Mr. McLaughlin. The Rev. Father Haggerty succeeds Father Moore.
