HUNTING.

MEET AT PLEASANT POINT. Tlio bounds met at Pleasant Point last Thursday, ; .and there • was a .-fair, muster of huntsmen, including some from as far afield as Fairlie.. Tile bounds were thrown off in ono of Maze's paddocks, known as the racecourse. A hare was soon away taking a line through, a paddock of J. Murphy's, then on, to Maze's ; and into a. paddock of turnips. He doubled back over two of Maze's paddocks on to I Murphy's, and running 011 to near the township, was lost. The hounc's were taken 'oack to the racecourse, and were soon away over much the same c our so. The hare was lost in Brosnan's property. Some very good slow hunting was" done by tlio pack in these two i.iins. A.-gaod.hare was a,gam found m a field of Maze's, and it took a. line in a -wefrfcevly direction, through Elder's, "Roberts's, Maze's, and back through ; Roberts's,- only to be: lost by another hare getting on the lino and linerrupting tho scent. . An excellent-lunch was provided by Mrs M. Masse and. the Misses Maze-at tbie homestead, which was greatly en-joyed.-by all. Before resuming.'the Master gave the yoimger members some very sound-'and useful advice. as .to.. respecting;ferhifers' : fencas and property over- - which. they might be 'huiiting i ' .and-, "pointed- out that it was only at- the .'goodwill. -of, the - .farmers that they were allowed :to hunt at all. .. . Two good runs .resulted after lunch, over the same properties as in the' former part of the day, and there was one kill, the pack' being denied another through a slieep dog killing the hunted hare a good way • in front of the' hounds.
