Wednesday was a lovely day, but not from the paper hunt point of view because the dust was bad and, at so late an hour in the afternoon, it was simply impossible to see anything with the sun right in one's eyes. As a result, ponies were very much on the cautious side and the jumping was not at all gocd. The attendance, compared with that on the previous Wednesday, was not very large; at the same time, most of the well known riders and ponies seemed to be there, and iti was evident that some, who have been disappointed in their expectations this year, were qui resolved to seize this opportunity of making good.
The hunt was laid by Mr. N. L. Sparke, winner of last Wednesday's hunt, andthe meet was at the corner of Brenan and Warren Roads, The run was very fast throughout. Mr. J. C. Botelho was first, but was disqualified for missing out the Bee Line, and Mr. B. D. F. Beith, on Jock Scott, was adjudged to be the winner, with Mr. H. G.. Robinson, on Sparrow Grey, as winner of the heavy-weight prize.
