PATEA

COURSING. With wintry weather conditions on the first day, and cold but sunny weather on the second day, there was not the large attendance hoped for at the meeting of the Patea Coursing Club held at Plumptou Park, Whenuakura. last Wednesday ami yesterday. There was a large number of entries, totalling 34 in all, and the standard of the runs was the cause of \ery favourable comment. All but the semi-finals and finals in the Black an.l White Cup ami the V.C. Trophy were run the first ■lay, the more exciting runs being witnessed on the second day. Mr. Watts’ (Inglewood) Sporting Pal won the Black and White Cup from his second dog, Mon Desir. Mon Desir put up one of the best runs of the day in an earlier run in the semifinals against Mr. W. Jensen’s Silver Hope, but had no chance to recover for the final. The final run was a good one, however, after a no-eourse being given for the first run for the final, both dogs gaining equal points. Another good run was between Silver Hope and Gold Sovereign, Silver Hope winning to run in the semi-final. Sporting Pal won from Mon Desir by 13$ points to 1, Mon Desir being unable to keep up to Sporting Pal. For tho V.C. Trophy, Mr. J. Shore’r Black Bat won from Messrs. Hurlev and Willis’ Prowler, after a good run. and winning by .points only, Black Bat being only half a point in the lead before the kill.

Arrangements were in the capable hands of the president (Mr. L. Hunt) and the secretary (Mr. T. C. Scott), and the rounds were run off on both days with no loss of time. Black and White Cup.

There will be tense excitement among local football fans to-morrow, when two deciding games for Patea teams will be played. The most interesting, perhaps, of the two, and the most accessible to local onlookers, will be the match between Patea and Hawera thirds, to be played at Patea. This game will be the deciding match in re gard to the South Taranaki thirds' championship, both teams being equal in championship points. A win for Ha wera to-morrow would thus bring them equal with Patea, and a play-off would have to result.

Tho second match of interest to Patea supporers is the game between Patea seniors and Eltham, to be played at Eltham. Patea have only two more matches to play, and are endeavouring to make both victories in order to keep their equal position with Okaiawa at tho head of the South Taranaki championship, Okaiawa will play Opunake at Okaiawa.
