The hunt was, however, laid by Mr. Benbow Rowe in the Home country, in quite familiar ground, but taking in lines of jumps which have not been much used in recent years, The hunt was a short one, as hunts go nowadays; the weather was delightful, the going good, the jumps in excellent condition, and the day's outing was enjoyed by all concern-
The finish was at Pons Asinorum, where a number of spectators had gathered. The jump was wide and ugly, and the water still and deep. The hunt had been gone gone @ bare 40 minutes, when the outriders and mounted folk came cantering in, heralding its approach; then in the far distance could just be discerned the mass of riders approaching Marah, just a few pink coats among them. A few minutes more, and then in the furious onrush approaching Pons could be distinguished first one and then another, urged on by those near by with shouts of encouragement. Messrs. Earl B. Rose and J. K. Brand were foremost in the final effort, and the former leaped Pons beautifully and thus won both light and heavy weight events. Mr. H. Herlofsen. on Medina-Sidonia was third.
