THE MEET AT HAMILTON.
Yestebday the Pakuranga harriers threw off at Hamilton, making a start, with a fair field, towards the railway station, where they cast off; but, after spending an hour in Mr Jolly's paddocks, and only starting one hare (which speedily got to cover, and was no more seen), the pack worked over Mr Jolly's farm, across the town belt, and—round by the Lake—to the young plantations of Mr A. Cox. Here, it was thought, a hare would surely be found, but puss was not at home. The hounds then worked round the back of Mr Cox's houses, and along the Ohaupo Eoad, keeping the paddocks to tho right. In several clumps of ti-tree, hares were found, but, strange to sayi not once could the dogs get a good trail and a fair spin. There were some hundred horsemen and horsewomen on the field, but there was no hunting, and the whole affair was very tame. A hare was ultimately killed, by the Kiwi Mill Stream, on Mr Cox's ground, and presented by the huntsmen to the Mayor. A drag hunt home concluded the days sport.
