C. Collins (St. Joseph's) and J. Passmore (Cargill Road) laid an excellent trail along Wesley street and Macandrew road, striking up past Shiel's quarry and over some beautiful cross-country, coming out near the golf house. The trail then went in the direction of Green Island, where some ideal harrier country was negotiated. Here a turn was taken to the left, eventually striking down to the caves, which the members spent some time in inspecting, the scenery in this vicinity being very beautiful: From here the homeward turn was made, striking along the side of the cliffs overlooking the ocean, the trail eventually coming out at CargiU's Castle, from whence it struck down to the second beach and through St. Clair, along the back of Forbury Park, and finishing via Macandrew road to the school. After the run the members of St. Joseph's were hospitably entertained by the Cargill Road Methodist Hai~ riers. -
