PODINGTON—THE MEET—On Tuesday last, the Oakley hounds met at Hinwick Hall, the residence of Mr. B. A. Wontner. The weather was fine and a large number of horsemen and pedestrians were present. Two foxes were killed.

STAG HUNT—On Wednesday last a pack of the Kempston harriers raised a stag in Odell Great Wood and had a splendid run of some three or four hours. He was run down in a grass field belonging to Mr. Oliver Mee, of Harrold, killed and taken to Mr. Fever, butcher, where he was dressed and hung up in the shop. It is supposed that a pair of deer have strayed from Kimbolton park to these woods.

Cubs’ Camp—The North Bedfordshire Cubs spent a few days in camp at Elstow, Miss Tysoe being in charge. Sports were held on Saturday, when the Hinwick pack tied with Milton Ernest for first prize.

Scholars’ Outing—Favoured by fine weather, the scholars of the Independent Wesleyan Sunday School, accompanied by a few friends, visited Southend-on-Sea for their annual outing on Saturday. A very pleasant day was spent, the arrangements being made by Mr. Mark Wildman, Sunday School superintendent, who conducted the party.
