WAIKATO HUNT

VISITING CLUBS ENTERTAINED ; BREAKFAST AT CAMBRIDGE j The host and hostess of the Masonic Hotel at Cambridge, Mr and Mrs Culpan, entertained members of I the Waikato Hunt Club and their visitors, members of the Pakuranga end Maramarua Clubs to a hunt breakfast on Saturday. This jolly function preceded a two-day hunting visit from members of the above clubs, whose stay included a day’s sport yesterday. The master, Mr Wynn Brown, thanked “mine host” and Mrs Culpan j l'or their hospitality, the appreciation of the assembly being voiced in no uncertain manner. Horses and hounds then moved off for the Pukel'imu district, where despite poor scent, an enjoyable afternoon’s sport provided some good runs.
