HUNTING.

(BY

Onlooker.)

THE Pakuranga hounds met last Saturday at Ihumata Pound, thence we went to Mr Ellett’s farms, some three or four miles further on. The weather was fine, thcugh rather warm for the scent to lie well. Some excellent runs were enjoyed, and two hares were killed. Our Master (Colonel Dawson) had a nasty fall through a cow passing quickly in front of Ike and upsetting him, and throwing the rider heavily on the ground, and I fear breaking his collar bone. Dr. Bews was happily in the field, and his aid was immedia’ely called in. There was a very large number of spectators, as well as huntsmen and women. Amongst those present were Mrs (Colonel) Dawson. Miss Elliott, Mrs McLaughlin, Miss Nichol, Mrs and Miss Noakes. Mr Philson, Mrs Hope Lewis, Mr and Mrs Gorrie, Misses B. Bull and K. Thompson, Miss Percival and Miss Cochrane, Mrs (Dr.) Bews and niece. Riding were Colonel Dawson, Mrs Kelly, Mrs Tonks, Misses Buckland (two), Gorrie (two). Corn. Taylor, Tribley (two), Dunnett, McLaughlin, Eaton, Percival, Roberts, Bull, Ware. Crowe, Messrs Kinlock (two). Isaacs, Noakes, Crowe, Gilbert, Gilmore, Harrison, Carminer, Pollock, Goodman. Wynyard, Tonks. Ellett, Skipwith, Dunwoodie, O’Dowd, Philips. Buckland. Ireland, McLaughlin (two), Gordon (two), Elliott, Dunnett, etc.
