THE TRINITY HARRIERS. The weekly outing of the Trinity Harrier Club took place yesterday afternoon. The members were the guests of Rtv. T. Stinson, and there was a good ' mu.'.ter present. The v.-eather and condition of the- country were all in favour of crosscountry running, and the sport was greatly enjoyed by those taking part. This outing took the form of an open three and a half mile handicap, the course of which, it was decided recently, j-hould be the same a-s that run over last' year. Unfortunately, through some slight misunderstanding on the part of the paper-layer, the course put down by him .'-howed some diversion from'the on? originally fixed on. A start was made from the manse at 3.15, the ground gone over being via Saltwater Creek bridge, round the lagoon, and home by the Caledonian Grounds and . Catherine street. That some hard training must have bften indulged in of late, (was deinon>trated by the fine form shown yesterday, and the eagerness displayed to capture the coveted trophies, generously provided by wishers of the Club. The following wa; the order at '.-he finish : G. Mason (1.15), 25.15 1 J. Norrie ;ssec), 24.15 2 . M. Gould (lmin.), 26.30 3 J. Norrie, it will b-j seen, had fastest tiTrt<-.

Mrs Stinsoh -entertained all the members to afternoon tea, for where kindness Mr D. F. Glanville proposed a heartv vota of thanks.
