HUNTING.

THE .MppT; jMVra. ." Yesterday-the hoajds ,mefc at- Mr E. land's i but h owing l t "scent' being indifferent and hares apparently scare, nothing approaching a run : was'recorded.. 'However; though the field! Was not;kept very busy it was always contehted-to be potormg-abouti the p_addgcks on such a bright _ sunshiny day/-although"lor the ' greater part .of the a^rn6pn7 ; horaiaS. wete '•"'fib^•^un!iiing.j",■;.^■The'' , 'first-'hare' Sound'; at; jof. the-yhome-steadf took 'the'. field smartly across .a' couple of-paddocks towards"- the. .terrace overlooking Mr W. Hay's land; before, doubling back into a plantation where hounds checked. She soon'left the •platt-* tation, and crossed a grass paddock, then into .a ploughed paddock of Mr Jjameson's. Hefe hounds could make nothing of the line so were taken to a grass paddock of Mr Jameson's, which proved, tenantless, -as- also: did" one of Mr' Hole's, and also one' of Mr McPiedran's. Mr Eelland's turnips were then tried and after a long wait a hare made straight for the I road where the field were in waiting. i Dodging down the road amongst .Horses, and. traps for a chain or two and then turning right-handed on to Mr Ellis' farm, she brought the field. to a standstill, after jumping, into the second of Mr Ellis' paddocks. She was refound on a side road, and doubled, back on to Midland's again and .was lost in the turnip paddock in she. was originally found. - -Other .paddocks.were tried, but hares,.-which are' generally fairly numerous on these downs, were determined to lie low, and could not be found. Although unsuccessful in their efforts, the pack, whilst humtiing a paddock at the top of a steep terrace, made, a very pretty foreground to the extensive view of miles and miles of plains below,

bounded l on. one side by the snow-topped Alps in all their grandeur and'on the other by the ' ocean. Finally, after giving up the fruitless task of trying to find ai hare everybody returned to the homestead! feeling that they had thoroughly enjoyed! the afternoon although there had not been a, great deal of hunting. A large field and l a great many onlookers, driving and oa foot, were present at the meet. At the homestead afternoon tea was much en- • joyed by all and Mr and Mrs Kellamd's hospitality was much appreciated. Before leaving the homestead Mr H. Elworthy alluded to the meet as being the first held! at North Down, and on. behalf of those present; thanked Mr Kelland for the very enjoyable day they had had at his invitation, and also'lMfs "ah'd the Misses Kelland For their hospitable welcome. Cheers ran high for Mr and Mrs Kelland and their | family. : Mr Kelland. expressed his pleasure at seeing so many present, but- at the same time regretted that hares had not shown themselves. His. chief fear had! been that there would be too. many hares. The next meet will be at the Washdyke, ( and on May 31st the hounds will meet at Mr E. G. Stericker's, Sutton Farm, instead of at the Levels.- Those present at the hunt were Mrs W. T. Mee on, Jack, Mrs Coombes on Beeswax, Miss Kelland 1 on Heliograph, Miss M. Kerr on Sunflower, Miss E.
