PAKURANGA HUNT MEET AT GREENMOUNT HARES ELUDE THE HOUNDS A large field followed the pack of the Pakuranga Hunt at the meet held at Greenmount on Saturday. The scent held well, enabling the hounds to give the many followers some spirited runs. The going was soft in many parts, and was partly respon. sible for a number of spills during the meet. The pack was thrown off in Mr Smale’s property and after working round the farm, soon put up a good hare on the leeward side of the mountain. It took the field for a brisk spin around the mountain and across the farm. It found shelter in the orchard for a while but was soon hunted out, to be lost in a clump of rocks on the mountain side. A move was then made to Mr. Munro Wilson’s farm, and after working along the edge of a creek, a hare was located in a plantation ‘at the rear of the house, and after leadinc the field twice round the farm it found shelter in a belt of gorse. A visit was paid to Mr. Watson's property, and after a short draw in a field of oats, a quarry was put up and, after circling the farm a couple of times, it was lost. The next draw was made on Mr. Chris. Allen's farm, and the run which eventuated included a lot of road work. The quarry was put up at the back of the homestead, and led the followers for a good chivy straight toward Smale’s Mountain, where it crossed on to Greenmount, and worked right round a creek on to the Howic-k Road. Here it turned into Mr. Cargo’s and crossing the road traversed Mr. Maris’s farm. It recrossed the road into Mr. Woods’s, through on to Mr. Allen’s, where it again crossed the road on to Greenmount. The quarry was showing signs of distress when a fresh hare appeared, which led the field to Mr. Smale's farm. Owing to the failing light the hounds were called off.
