The Harrier Club is gaining in popularity year by year, and so far this year it is experiencing record attendances, from 25 to 30 running each week. Moreover, all members are displaying keen enthusiasm for so early in the season, especially many new members, who are showing distinct promise and should help to place the Club in a better position in open competition this year.

On 22nd April there was again a very good attendance. About thirty runners, including many new members, ran in two packs from Lyall Bay bathing sheds. The trail, which was laid by Newall and Hoffman, led up Fryberg Street to the top of the hill, along the ridge and down the side or the hill to Houghton Bay. From there the road was followed back to Lyall Bay. Along the bitumen road on this last stretch the pace was increased and the runners spread out at the end, good form being shown, particularly by some of the new men who went to the from and led the slow pack home.

Last Week's Run.

On Saturday last the run was hold at Wadestown. O'Flyan and Robert shawe laid a trail down Wilton's Bush Road, across varied country, eventually meeting the road again and coming on to the railway line, a short distance south or Ngaio. From this point the fast pack continued towards Ngaio and down the gorge road, returning to Wadestown across the hills, while the slow pack returned by a shorter route. In the fast pack de la Mare showed improved form, while Powell and Lowe were prominent in the slow pack.
