WILLIE SMITH

Famous Billiards Player to Give The seventh hunt, held on Satur~ day in the Rubicon country, produced tone of the f gallops of the Season. No green paper was Inid, and. with everyone knowing the country well, ang making a fain guess as to Where the fini would be, the ride tended to develop into a, steeplechase, the leading Ponies finishing very tired indeed.

Yellow and white paper was Inid, and there was therefore no excuse for people following old paper, and as such checks as were laid were very short ones, only the leaders faltered at them.

The hunt lacked originality, but included a lot of good Hopping country, with most of the available jumps, all of which were in excel-

The field was well strung out by the time the finishing flags were eachedy which was perhaps just well, "considering the amount of Jdust' that arose. Maitland, although on the tiredest of ponies, won fairly comfortably, with T." X." Tu qualifying Merry Jim for the lenge Cup, just behind him.
