MEMBERS AT MOTUROA. Twenty-eight members attended the weekly club run of the New Plymouth harriers from the Moturoa school on Saturday and participated in a run of about five miles. Before the commencement of the run a short sprint of about 100 yards was made, this being a common practice in the Wellington harrier clubs. The pacemakers, A. Thompson and S. Rosser, led off down to the Ngamo'tu. beach which was followed as .far as the rowing club shed. From there the, run led round to the beach at the back of Paritutu, and then round the back of the oil bore, coming out on Beach Road. The road was followed to South Road, where a halt was called.
