HARRIERS.
The Brooklyn Harriers held their weekly run from Rona Bay, where- they wore the guests of Mr. C. Guise. The pack was divided into three sections. The main body went out with tho paper, followed ten minutes later by the B team,: whilo'tho A team ■ conceded five minutes to the B team. • -The- course chosen by R. Harvey, who was in command of the slow pack, was ideal, as it consisted of-beach track and plenty of hill work. ..- '" The trail was laid' from Mr. .C. Guise's residence along the sandy beach to Mnritai, thohco r alori". the'ro«d: and up the Gollan's Valley Road as far as the ridge of the hill. ' From there a turn was made along the ridge until the old Whisky Still' was reached, then tho runners clambered down the precipitous face of the hill to,Gollan's Valley farm. From the farm a turn was' made for home along the road. On the Teturn journey. tie A team overhauled the. slow pack,'but could not catch-up with' all the members of the B team. The first to reach home wero ,W.' Wakeling, H. -Mio, and J. O'Neill, all members of the B team. Of tho A team, G. Hutton and N. Cummings ran a close finish, G. Hutton winning by a couple of yardsj .with J. Douglas third. The first home in tho main pack was R. Harvey, who was closely followed by T. Troward. ■ After the run the mem-' bers. and friends /.were entertained by Mr. 'and Mrs. C. Guise. Musical items were rendered by Messrs. W. Shell, C. Dentico, and Miss : M. Guise. Two teams have been entered for the five-mile Wellington ..provincial cross-country championship, which is to be held at Miramar next Saturday.
