The Second Hunt The second hunt of the season took place at Kinngwan and was aid by Messrs. F. W. Potter, P._ Newton and H. W. Lester. 'The hunt was admittedly laid to popularize the Kiangwan country, and it was given out that there were comparatively few water jumps. This was undoubtedly correct but owing' doubtless to the peculiar! nature of that country, rut and furrow was very bad, besides being very hard, and falls were a very frequent occurrence. The chief} disadvantage of runs in the wan country, "which, in spit every attempt to boom it, remains} is the atrocious nature of furrow work. The field always seems to be going against] the grain so to speak instead of] with it while the high land, what. there is of it, is powdery, dusty. and full of grips.
It is not to be supposed from the above that very pleasant runs not enjoyed in the Kiangwan cout try, but the country lends itself to] a special kind of pony and it is not every rider that owns the right kind of pony for it. Saturday's run began at the back of Kiangwan town near Valleyfield and proceeded over a course of eight miles generally in the direction of Woosung and then back again to a finish nléar the same place, It is regrettable to relate] that during the run the well known pony Spade Guinea broke his back' and had to be destroyed.
