TWO
VERY GOOD LINES BY MR. MACNAMARA
LAID
(By JACK SPRAGGON)
Prior to calling off hunting for a week at the end of last month owing to the congested state of all roads due to the influx of re- fugees, we had a very successful lawn 'meet on Sunday, November 20 at Mr. Peter Potts bungalow. Thedrag was laid by Mr. Macnamara. He took us in a large left-handed circle from the foot of "The Look- “ out across the River Reas along the good grassland up to Stap Pass and then back across the paddy to the ford at Tong Kung Ling where we checked. A second line started just at the back of Tong Kung Ling and ran along the fosthills up to The Pig Farm through, the Gap and down towards Troop Stable, finishing about a mile short of it.
Two very good lines with hounds hunting well and fast.
