HAMPDEN.
(OWN CORRESPONDENT)
Tho Hawke’s Bay Hounds met it Hampden on Saturday giving the township a very lively appearance, the drag being laid through most of tbe sectionl The fences were very numerons and stifi, so that only those poshcssed of first-clis hunters were able to follow the line takes by the hound**. A good many spills toot place, and after the hunt the old fsuoa looked as thongh a cyclone had jot passed over them.
Mr Hartree who has lately taken up » Maori lease at Tikokino will be a heavy loser by *the depredations of some dogt which got among his sheep and worried a largo number. Eighteen sbeep wen found dead, besides many more wares severely bitten that they will die. Then being a lot of scrub in the paddocks it k impossible to tell how many are killed. One dog was shot, but unfortunately tv« others got away, and as it is not knows to whom they belong, there seems little chance of them being destroyed, or tbe value of the sbeep recovered.
Mr F. Glass’ numerous friends will be sorry to learn that he has cut bis leg severely with an adze and is likely to be laid up for some time.
