EGMONT-WANGANUI HUNT. Ideal hunting weather prevailed for the hunt held at Whcnuakura crossroads by the Egmont-Wanganul Hunt Club last Wednesday. The sun was shining brightly, while a cooling breeze was blowing or the sea. The ground had dried considerably after all the rain and the going was nil that could be desired. The fences consisted of wire, and the majority were old ditch and bank gorse fences which had been well trimmed and made excellent jumping. There was a large crowd of followers, and only one fall Beyond a severe shaking to the rider no damage was done. Four hares were put up during the afternoon, but unfortunately no run of any great length was had. The first hare which was put up immediately after the throw-off was lost in one of the gullies, while the next two were both lost through running into a flock of sheep and a mob of cattle respectively. Late in the afternoon another short run was had acros sthe golf links, and turning right-handed ran for a while before the hare was lost across a big gully. The scent seemed to be lying very poorly at this stage. But still, an enjoyable day had been experienced, and it was well after four o ’clock before hounds were packed up.
