!.;;;, meet at rosewidl

Hounds met, at Rosewill School lasi week .and.for ,a bye T day,, there a very- goodi field;out..,, The, ram ovei • niglit made' the going; good, and as the day advanced, scent held splendidly, • ending up, in one of the best of runs, Throwing off in Mr T. Divan’s, the second paddock held a hare, which made off through Mr, Taylor’s, crossed the Cliffs', road, into Mr Hindiey’s plough, turned ,away up parallel. with the,road into Mr Bassett’s, and on till he reached, the: rocky- cutting, turned 'right-handed across the- road again, and, in Mown into Mr ,Porter’s pig gully. Hounds, , working well, thrust on through a good deal of cover, and up the opposite facing, then carried on round the facing some distance before! coming out in to the level country above the rocks in Mr Murray's. These facings had to be carefully ne- , < go tinted an account of the underrunners, and the wire fences were trappy. Once out on .to ■ the top, the l<wire made a bee line for the pig gully again, where it was lost. Drawing through Mr Bassett’s for some distance, another hare was found, wh : oh Bwung first to the right across some paddocks, and then, when close to tlie by-road, turned away'to the left, into Mr Hindley’s, through liis property. and out over tlie Cliffs road into Mr Taylor’s, where she:was lost in the creek ' ' • In ' th 1 ' afternoon, hounds were taken to Mr W. Divan’s, where in past seasons some memorable runs have started. A hare" was perceived, making down the dark facing towards the road. The field, holding back, gave the pack plenty of room to settle down, and settle down they did. Across the road they went, into Air Brosnalian’s, up on to the downs, heading west into Air Harvey, and across some of liis paddocks. ’ Some sheep fouled the line, and. a long forward cast vvas made. Away went the pack again, running duo. south up and down the ridges, ’ with wire fences all in the narrow gullies. Sometimes having to 1 jump down hill, other times up lull, horses had to be carefully headed, and ■with the pack running, with a breast limb scent there was eve-y chance ot bofner left. ’ On through Mr Harvey s into" Alessrs Hay and Hornhrook s, where she turned sharply to tlie Jett, down the gully, leaving ft plantation on the right, back through Mr Ivmg s, out across tlio road into Air W Divan s whore hounds registered a kill m the same paddock they started Oom.Jh.s run must have been well over 3£ miles, and rrmlcp drith some of the best runs were—TlieiAlasfer (AWO.
