HUKANUI SPORTS.

A SUCCESSFUL GATHERING

Tlie third annual meeting of the Hukanui Sports and Picnic Club was held yesterday on the Club's beautiful groimds, near t j le ra ji way station. The weather was showery at times, but tin's did not prevent a large attendance of the public of the FortyMile Bus'li. The programme was the most complete yet put on by this popular Club, and included 'several interesting events in the way of trotting and hunters' competitions. The competition for the Hukanui Rose Bowl, valued at. £l2, to be won twice in succession or three times at intervals, produced a large field. The winner, Mr J.
