The most pleasing features of the Second Hunt, which was held on Saturday in the Minghong country, were the qualifying for the Challenge Cup of two really good steeplechase ers, and the win of young Freddie Harris, who achieves his great ambl~ lon on the eve of his departure for America.
Unfortunately, at one point of the hunt about fifteen riders short cir culted, missing out a big loop, and those who led the first batch home were automatically disqualified. It was most unfortunate that this should have occurred, and was only made possible through a mistake, it having been Tiefenbacher's intention 10 Teave a boy there to see that the proper course was taken.
'SULL further disaster was to follow. Vernon Stanion, a keen young thruster only just back from the north, led the batch who had gone the co: reet way and was proclaimed the winner, only to find that he hed failed to join the Club this winter, and he too had to be disqualified. may serve to remind any who have sill mot joined the club to do so when it is recalled that in only. the last: wo years three riders have lost their pinks through falling either to register themselves or their ponies, and two new pinks have been won through the ensuing disquall-Aeation.
When Stanion was disqualified, Middleton Smith, who was seventh, moved up a place and became the heavyweight winner, Schack, who was fourth, being on a crossbred. It Is rumoured, and has not yet been verited, that young Botelho, who was fifth, would have won his pink coat if he had registered as a heavyweight this season, The Paper Hunt Club does everything it possi bly can to ensure members receive every possible reminder that sub~ scriptions are due, and that ponies fare to be nominated. The rest is up to members. One must for a moment consider the feelings of the man who has won on a disqualifies tion through the winner being a non member. and has no redress himself!
