The last meet of the Pakuranga Bant Club was well attendid, and some good «port was enjoyed in ihe neighbourhood of Ellerslie. The Club has done very well this year, and was never pe prosperous as now. This is" due principally to ths popularity of the Master, Mr MoUughlan, and., the assiduous exerviens of ths •secretary, Mr Feroival, The /Football s ason may now be conside; ed as over.

It unfortunately happened th»t -.he hares, M<e*ra Beiirieraon,, Cotton and DayreU. got separated abont half-way, and came home difivierit loutes, thus throwing .the bounds off the aeent, and oeuslag some to make a larger circuit than ethers.
