EXPLORER’S FATE
NEVER SAW HIS BABY LONDON, Jan. I.—Air. Reynold JO. Bray, 2r-year-old explorer, news, of whose death in the Arctic last. September was brought by all Eskimo to civilisation yesterday, was tlie father of a baby daughter he never saw—born a month* before he was drowned. He married four years ago the daughter of Air. and Airs. Albert Butler, of Claygate, Surrey, and had spent- much time since exploring partsof Hudson Bay and Baffin Land, where no white man had ever been. were held at Waimana hut the following there was rather inconsistent. The committee again wishes to record its thanks to the property owners for the use of their country, and again impresses on jneinbers the necessity of doing as little damage to. the pastures and disturbing the stock, as possible. Wo have endeavoured to repair all damage promptly ancl no cc-mplaints have been received from property owners. We must, at all costs maintain the happy relations existing between them and the club. We are again indebted to the ladies for their assistance in connection with the ball and also .the refreshments at meets... We -have also to thank Airs.. Alex Snell for her running of the farewell evening tendered to Air. and ALiss Bird at Waiotalii. Our especial thanks' are due to.the Woodlands ladies committee for the running of several highly successful dances at the last- of which the cups won at the point- to point Were presented. To thedonors of these cups the club’s thanksare due and also to all those who in so many ways assisted to make thepoint to point- the success it was. We have now 25 hounds in the pack. This number is not yet as high: as we would like but- is ample for our immediate requirements. We are indebted to Air. Chambers of AVairoa for the gift- of a couple of hounds towards the latter part of,the season. Nine pups reared since the inception of the club were limited during the season and,,we expect Jo hunt a further four this season. •
AVe record with regret the passing of one of our keenest members, Mr. Charlie Smith who met -with a fatal accident early this year,. During the season Mt. Jack Bird, our AYaimana deputy master, left the district and his place will be hard! to fill.
In conclusion I wish to congratulate the. club en its happy season’s operations and to express the hope that the coming season will be even more successful both scciallv and financially.
