Hunting.

The Waikato hounds were out on Saturday last, and huntsmen met at Tamahere Cross Roads. There was a good meet, and when the pack were set going a turn was made by the Narrow Bridge to Mr Day’s Pencarrow estate, but no hare could be shook up. A little further up, however, one rises up in a rough paddock full of fern, and after puss makes several dodgy rings she is downed, and a move is made. Main’s garden is tried next, and in one of the meadows up jumps a fine healthy hare. The scent proves faulty, and she escapes for a time until the hounds regain sight, and away the field go for a long spin, in which the fences are frequent and stiff. At length she is killed, and a fourth one being despatched within a few minutes a move is made for home after a fairly satisfactory day.
