The Christmas Paper Hunt is 2 classic, *Twixt tiffin and dinner on Christmas Dey there is nothing better " do than to wa': out to Unkaza, and there to meet "all tie world and his wife" waiting for the finish of the hunt, round and about that water jump whick was cut specially for such nes. On Tuesday st was the usual 2. Mr, and Mrs, emuer Hogg, the generosity w: characteristic sem, had invited.derably more tian 100 guests to an elaborate tiffin Unkaza, and these were afterwards roinforced by many more, who had walked or Griven out to see the start or the finish.
The hunt was not a long one and cov country that was fairly well known. The finish was in some respects admirable. The st few riders cleared the last jump well together, but after that came a check, tired ponies refusing the water, and the reder of the time was spent in laughter at fruitless efforts, The winners were Mr. A. W. Burkill (Light weights).
Mr. Dietrich.
Dallas (Heavy weights).
The hunt over, there was the usual adjournment to the lawns near the house, and there Mr. E. S. Perrott, the Master of the Hunt, introduced Mr. A. W. Burkill and Mr. G, Dallas, as the winners of the Hunt, to Mrs. Hogg. Before Mrs. Hogg, on a small table, were two silver cups, presented by Col. Mayne and the officers of the 3rd Baluchis, and these she presented to the winners after a graceful speech. Mr. A. W. Burkill had the duty of replying, and this he did neatly, calling afterwards for three cheers for Mrs. Hogg and the Indies, and again for a tiger for the donors of the cups. Thus ended another enjoyable Christmas Hunt.
