Between twenty and twenty-five riders who had not succeeded in winning a hunt during the present season started for the Consolation Hunt on Saturday, The course was from near Mr. Seaman's house on the Sixjow Road to the finish over the Tidal Creek, a distance of about seven miles. The finish was between Messrs. Edblad and Easton, who took the last jump almost at the same moment. Mr.
ston's pony fell at the jump and he could only secure secund place. The first to arrive xt the finish, however, was Mr. Ferris, who came about a quarter of an hour before the rest of the hunt were sighted. The paper seemed 10 have be Inid in the shape of a loop, and Mr, Ferris apparently found it by making a short cut from one end of the loop to the other, whereas the rest of the hunt went round the loop. The question whether the hunt was won by Mr. Ferris or Mr. Edblad is, we understand, to be decided by the stewards to-day.
