Saturday's Paper Hunt

The third Paper Hunt of the season took place on Saturday afternoon. The ground was still a bit hard and dusty, but this did not deter a large field from leaving the starting point on the Sinza Road, just behind Mr. Pearce's house. The paper was laid by Messrs. G.

Pappier, F. W. Potter and E, C. Pearce, and they selected: a pretty stiff course, with the result that the field rapidly tailed out.
