PAKURANGA HUNT CLUB.

TBy

Nordenfeldt.

The weekly meet of the hounds was held last Saturday at Green Lane, Remuera. There was a large attendance of members, owing, no doubt, to the beautiful weather. The drag was laid in the direction of St. Helier’s Bay, and during the run some stiff post and rail fences were negotiated. The ground was very heavy owing to the ' recent rains, and, as might be expected, a few spills resulted in consequence. After a couple of halts the field reached St. Helier’s, and the hotel was besieged with thirsty individuals, who one and all indulged in Hancock’s excellent brew, while a large number availed themselves of the sandy beach and sea-water to give their steeds a muvh needed wash. A short drag hunt then took place on the way home, finishing up on the road. Amongst those present I noticed—-Mr; Percival, the master, on Jim, Mr. R. Garrett on Guadalquiver, Colonel Dayyson op Ike, Mr. Kelly on Playboy, Mr, D. B. Tonks on Odd Trick, Mr. G. Hope on Fishmonger, Mr- H. C. Tonks on Nap, Mr, E. F. Pollock on Begorra, Mr. F. G. Whiting on Tom Collins, Mr. England on Count, Mr. J. B. Williamson on Parnell, Mr. Crowe on Crazy Kate, Mr. Younge on Fragrapce, Mr. H. Dunnett on Roger, Mr. G. Dunnett on Albion, Mr. C. Warren on Huntsman, Mr. Gilchrist on Ingersoll, Mr. Colegrove on Ely, Mr. Prince on Minnie, Mr. H. H. Hayr on a bay, and about twenty others. To-day the hounds will meet at the New North Road at one o’clock.
