HARRIERS.

On Saturday afternoon tho Wellington Club held its weekly run from Russell's Tea Robms, Karori. Notwithstanding tho weather, tho attendance was satisfactory. Trail-laying was delegated to R. and T. Eagle, who are, residents of tho suburb', and was voted tile best laid this season. Starting from Russell's Tea Rooms, it led in a south-easterly direction -until reaching tho reservoir catchment area, and then the southern end of tho golf links was crossed. Hero the paper loci in a northerly direction for' some distance, subsequently turning west. After traversing hill and dalo for some distance, tho pack struck the road near South Karori Parle, and a circuit of tho playing fields followed. Then from the western sido of tho football ground, a northerly course was shaped, the trail eventually coming out on tho road in tho vicinity of tho Council Chambers. During the six or seven miles run amusement was caused by members unexpectedly toboganning off the greasy slopes, ono member in particular coining in for loud applause for doing a "Gaby glide" over twenty, yards. Tho usual run-in over the last quarter mile resulted in a win for W. Donaldson, W. Press and G. Weston filling second and third places respectively. On Saturday afternoon tho Brooklyn Club held its annual seven milo interclub handicap at Miramar. Out of an entry of 28 some 23 competitors faced the starter, Mr. P. A. Wilton. Tho following is tho result:—F. Byrno, scr., 1; R. Ballantyno, lmiii., 2; C. Murray, 75sec., 3. Also started: C. Willis, 7 mill. SOsec.; E. Johnson, 7min. 45sec.; P. Harlen, 7min. 40scc.; R. Harvey, 7min. 30sec.; J. Salmoncl, 7min. 20sec. j W. Coop, 7min. 20sec.; E. Shaw, smin. 40sec.; L. Brown, smin.; P. Harvey, 4min. 45sec.; R. Hoverd, 4min. 30sec.; L. Barltrop, 4min.; F. Warmington, 3min. 55sec.: A. Oliver, 3min. 30scc.; P. Oliver, 3min.; T. Kerr (Wellington .Club), 2min. SOscc.: W. Drummond, lmin. 25scc. Tho limit men wore soon displaced bv R. Harvey, who ran exceedingly well, and had the race well in hand, but, by some reason, ho took tho wrong trail, covering half a mile moro than lie should have done, thus allowing the back-markers to pass him. When five miles had been covered, R. Ballantvno was in tho lead. Ho too got oif the course, and then Byrno took up tlio running and ran home a winner bv seven yards from 11. Ballantyno. Byrne covered the distance in 4Gmin. 4osec. ______ The Brand in Whisky, as in Champagne, is everything;. Thcreiore namo a Brand in askiiis; (or Whisk}-, and name "WHITE HORSE.
