PAKURANGA HUNT

VISIT TO CLEVEDON KILLS AFTER HARD RUNS A large field attended the meet of the Pakuranga Hunt at the Clevedon Public Hall on Saturday. In addition' to a large number of members who made the journey from Auckland, there was a large number of local vesidents among the followers. Som,e of the runs were over very stiff country, with big barbed-wire obstacles, which tested the staying capacity of both riders and horses to the utmost. A sumptuous hunt breakfast, provided by the residents, awaited the arrival of the followers. The pack turned off into Mr. W. Gore’s property, and after working rr jnd tho farm located a hare, which j took the field for a good spin along . tho road. It turned into the manse ! property, and ran through to Mr. Leach's, and after circling - the farm it again travelled along the road for some distance, and then took a circle across Mr. Wilson’s property. At the back of the showgrounds it crossed the road, to bo eventually killed in a clump of bush at the rear of Mr. Leach’s property. Some very hard jumping was indulged in during this run, the majority being high wire fences, and the A FRIEND IN NEED A DIRECTOR'S DILEMMA In an important business concern just recently the director of the company had a lengthy report to dictate to his secretary Unfortunately, he had caught a rather bad cold, and his voice became more inaudible as he went on. Moreover. he was troubled with a tickling sensation in his throat which was the cause of an irritating little cough. After two or three endeavours to get going with his dictation he looked at his secretary in despair and remarked: “1 don’t know how I am going to get through this: I sha’n’t have any voice j left, shortly.” ‘*l wish you would let ! me run out and get you a bottle of I Baxter’s Lung Preserver,” she replied | ‘T feel sure it would ease your throat and enable you to speak more clearly ” | “Very well,” he said, “I’ll follow your j advice.” The secretary immediately procured a bottle of "Baxter’s.” and after a dose or two the director foun i to his great relief that he was able to get through his work in comparative j comfort. Business executives who suffer in the ' same way would be well advised to i take a hint from the incident related. Hoarseness, tightness of breath, raw throat and inflamed bronchial tubes are quickly relieved by Baxter’s Lung Preserver. “Baxter's” also possesses bracing tonic properties which invigorate and enrich the blood and enable you to enjoy better health. You can obtain a generous-sized bottle of Baxter’s Lung Preserver at any chemist or store for 2s 6d. or. better still, purchase the more economical family size at 4s 6d. Bachelor size, eighteenpence. 3.

field had thinned out to four at the kill. The next dratv was made on Mr. Munro’s property, and the pack s*oon had a quarry on the run. which was killed soon after the start. Tho pack then worked through Mr. T. Paton’s farm, and a strong hare was located, which took the field for a good spin across a number of holdings on to tho road, where it turned and ran straight across Mr. Watson’s. It again followed the road by Mr. Court’s homestead, -where it circled back and crossed a creek, and was lost in a gully. ' The going throughout the day was excellent and the scent held well, enenabling the hounds to keep the quarries on the run. At the conclusion of the meet the residents again had refreshments awaiting the field. On behalf of the followers, Mr; Adams thanked the residents for their kindly hospitality, and also the farmers for allowing the hunt the use of their properties .or the meet.
