The Harrier Club.

With the Wellington Harrier season comencing this week, the Varsity Club is now on the lookout for new material. since it was formed in 1933 the Club has made wondedrful progress, and this year with crowd of energetic-looking freshers at Varsity, a successful season is anticipated.

Many people regard harrier running as a rather futile pastime. Whether there is any truth in this assertion depends on your attitude towards different sports. If you care to analyse such games as football and hockey, they become equally futile, unless they are regarded as an opportunity for relaxation or the working off of superfluous energy.

Others are frightened at the prospects of running at full speed over hilly country; but if they only came out for a few runs they would soon discover that this is not always the procedure. In the Varsity Club there is a slow pack inwhich running is merely a secondary consideration, and who are only at rare intervals prompted by their consciences to break into a jog.

For the more ambitious, there is the fast pack, usually misled by the notorious Mr. Bagnall, whose chief hobby is breaking the existing course record.

One must not forget the invitation runs at which it will be observed that the Club Muster has increased rather remarkably.

Whether you intend to accompany the fast, slow, or medium pack, you should come along to the annual meeting on Thursday night.
