Good weather, but with somewhat overcast skies, characterized the paper hunting event on Saturday afternoon, which was open only to ponies and riders who had been through at least one hunt to the satisfaction of the Stewards, winners of previous events being entitled to ride and qualify ponies for the Hunt races, but not to compete for winning honours. The hunt was laid by Mr. B. D. F. Beith and the meet was at 3.30 p.m., at the Old Crow Creek, on the road to the Hills.
The finish was hotly contested by Messrs. Watrin on_Girondin and J. K. Brand on The Wise Bird, the first-named passing the flags a winner, whilst Mr. V. D. K. Craddock on Hunter won the keavyweight.
