HUNTING.
' NORTH TARANAKI CLCB. I ' The North Taranaki Hunt Club will hold a 'bve-mect on Thursday at Mr. J. Cole's, Waihi. * , A NATIONAL ASSET. A deputation from the Irish hunt clubs waited on the Estates Commissioners in Dublin the other day to urge the necessity of giving encouragement to hunting. It was stated that Irish hunting involved a yearly expenditure of from half a million to one and a quarter millions sterling, exclusive of the enormous sums of money spent hi Ireland solely on account of hunting. The deputation described wire fencing as the greatest bane of hunting, and said that it had often caused destruction to horses and injury to human beings. Mr. Commissioner Finucane, in reply, said that the Commissioners wished to retain the better class of gentry in the country. It was manifestly the duty of the Commissioners to encourage hunting in every way they could, consistent with law, and to treat hunting as a national asset.
