HARRIERS

WELLINGTON CLUB. The Wellington Harriers held their weekly run from Miramar tram terminus on Saturday. Owing to a number of the members being in camp there was a poor attendance of members. The pack,' in charge of W. Bennett (in the absence of the captain and deputycaptain) started off to do the five-mile course, with E. J. Eagle as pacemaker. The course taken was up towards Miramar North, then a turn was taken, and the pack made straight for the gasometer, then down on to the sand dunes, and round towards Seatoun, where the committee had a chance of showing the novices the two-mile course for Saturday week. A go-as-you-please run was then indulged in, back via the polo grounds, and handicap run-in resulted in a win for W. Donaldson, with E. J. Eagle seoond, and C. Turnbull third. Next Saturday the club will meet at Kelburn, when a run will be held from the kiosk. OLYMPIC CLUB. The Olympic Club held an enjoyable run on _ Saturday afternoon from Kelburn Kiosk, members being the guests of-Mr. L. Brown. Paper was dispensed with and the pack, under the direction of Captain F. J. Byrne, proceeded through Kelburn via the hills to Karori reservoir, then through the golf links to Karori Park. From there a fairly fast pace was set along the main road back to Kelburn. A handicap run-in of about 400 yards resulted in a very close finish, A. M'Cauley being first, E. Osborne second. and L. Brown third. Members (ire reminded that next Saturday's run takes place from Oriental Bay Kiosk. BROOKLYN CLUB.

Continuing the trail left the hills on to the flats again to the gasometer, and then on through the cow-yards to the tramtrack, which was followed till + he football ground was reached, when the paddocks were taken as far as the Queen's prive; then into Lyall Bay.
