J?he first paddock tried was one of Mr Love s, and a liaro was soon away. ■I giving a circle of several of his and Mr fving s sho crossed a by road mto Mr Hart's. A mile of prettv huntmg up and back a lon-r rides, and ,-Jie pack got close to 'their quarry. Once on the road the pack raced closer to the hare, but she took' shelter in a culvert. . borne time was spent trying to dislodac her; and finally a man ' passing provided a, terrier which caused puss to leave her refuge. WitE tho pack rieht at Her heels she made another same I effort to escape, but they were not to be deroed this time, and after a circle of two of Mr Hart's paddocks, she was pulled down in the paddock in which friie was found. Aiter a short.spell for lunch hounds were taken up the road -to Mr iarms. The first paddock tried provided a bare which "gave a- last run of 'H miles only to be lost a t the back''or Mr Lo-ves homestead. Another havo round on Mr King's gave .i slashing run, or fully fi ve miles, and probably* th» best oi the season. Takui.r a c'rcle of several paddocks she turned due east tor a mile and turning again to tha right riie.croe-scd into Mr F. S rocker'sT Straight across his fnim she started hi£ homestead.and pointed duo west. A big who fence with a drop into Air Stoeker's private road stopped ihe field and caused a. detour. Tile pack were travelling fast and when wc got on tho ! line again hounds and hare had disappeared. A mile of fast riding with the field spreading out, and it looked as if 'the pack had .vanished into npacj. However, a "vicw-huilo" I'icm one of the followers put us right, and once more we were on terms with hounds. With every possibility' of a second k'.ll hounds hunted well, bub scent seemed to bo failing and after a coup'e of paddocks of sow hunting ihey were clean out ibf scent, and ; Selby reluctantly packed them up.
