In doing so Mr. Cameron disclaimed any pretension of being a public speaker; in fact, he said he was “the most silent dog in the pack.” It. was with sincere regret, he said, that they were losing Miss Brice's services as a member of the hunt as she had set a standard in the hunting field and as a hostess that was hard to excel, was fond of a “flutter” and negotiated obstacles without any sign of wavering. He was sure that Miss Brice would uphold the high traditions of hunting in the Rangitikei district when settled in her new sphere in the Wairarapa. He hoped that the momento from the members would remind her of the many pleasant days that she had spent in the hunting field. In replying. Miss Brice thanked the

members for their handsome gift, anc said they had been very good to hei in the hunting field. Three heartv cheers were given foi Miss Brice.
