The drag was laid by Waiter Buckeridge on "Kaitapai," which horse wants a bit more schooling. There was only one spill, Mr Boake on " Tomboy," coming a cropper just before coming home. The fences were not very high, and had tlio top rails been a little stronger there would have been a few more spills. Mrs Rhodes, who followed the hounds, was generally foremost in the flights.
