... MASTERS of hounds are rightly paying more and more attention to the encouragement of children, and it is now customary for many hunts to arrange special Pony Club meets not only at Christmas, but also at the end of the season, during the Easter holidays. The Surrey Union which, after a slow start, has had a good season, held a meet for its Pony Club members at Henfold, Beare Green, at the ...

... IT would not be easy to stand nearer to the ball than the capless golfer in the photograph whom I snapped unawares with my Leica and a wide-angle lens when the camera was hanging innocently from my neck-- I just pressed the shutter release at the very moment I wanted. I know this golfer well, a keen player from the south of France, and he plays regularly. As this golfer a powerfully-built man ...

Because of weather conditions, there was, in fact, a considerable gap between the time of making our first arrangements to spend a day with these hounds and our actual visit. The meet was at Hatton House, near Warwick, the home of ...

... THE tunny are paying their annual visit to Madeira, and the run is said to be the best ever recorded. The fish turn up with complete regularity at this time of year in the neighbourhood of Funchal, and every available boat goes out after them. The cost is about £1 a day, with boatman; reasonable enough, even in the £60 Island, so named because that is the cost of a return fare, and you can ...

... THE Horse Trials Season, after the preliminary disappointment of the cancellation of the Gisburn event because of waterlogged ground, opened most successfully with the British Horse Society's one-day trials at Cottesbrooke Hall, Northampton, on ground lent by Major and the Hon.

... Gentlemen v Players THIS new fixture in the Golfing Calendar has been hailed by all as a worthy one, and it was bad luck that the newspaper strike in London hindered the spreading of the news of this interesting encounter to golfers. Alec Hill produced his full Walker Cup side against a team of pros which I led, and which was a very strong one, for the majority had been in the team which beat ...

... STRICTLY speaking, this should be a-rovering, if there is such a word, because it con cerns a trip to the International Motor Exhibition in Geneva in a new Rover 75 saloon. It can not be said that the start of this 1,100-mile journey was very propi tious. but that was not the fault of the car. Leaving the borders of Kent and Surrey at eight o'clock in the morning, with 2J hours to catch ...
