Harriers

"Know all ye that acting by and with the consent of the executive committee of the Harrier Club I hereby declare the season open," declared Mr. G. F. Dixon on Saturday.

The opening meeting was held at Weir House at the invitation of the Warden, Mr. Barker. A count showed that twenty-four runners and, as Mr. Rowberry remarked, a few absent faces had turned out. They were sorted into two packs, the speed boys and the others.

The packs duly departed under the official chaperonage of Mr. Barker. The slow pack were under the care and supervision of Frank O'Flynn and the fast of Ross Scrymgeour. We were pleased to see Dorman, of the Tramping Club lead the fast pack.

Next Saturday the combined Harrier Clubs will meet at Island Bay. The 'Varsity Club will be there for the official opening of the season, but will run separately.
