The first hunt of the season took place on Saturday afternoon and proved a highly successful event. The meet was at the corner of Hungjao and Warren Roads at 3 p.m., and towards the hour appointed large numbers of riders and their friends, in every conceivable form of vehicle, and mounted and on foot, made their way to the rendezvous. The trail was laid by the Master, Mr. G. Grayrigge, and promptly at the hour the Hunt was addressed with a few words of welcome by Mr. E. S. Benbow Rowe, Senior Steward, and then despatched.
