 tinent. Mr. A. E. Ogilvie. a most enthusiastic member of the Club for many years, 

 assumei! his second term in 1!)()8. Durino- the last few vears there has been a great 

 deal of interest show n in the aiuiual Hunt Club races, which, for the past three seasons, 

 have been held over the beautiful course at Blue Bonnets, the home of the jVIontreal 

 .Jockey Club. The friendly rivalry shown in these events has been evidenced by the 

 purchasing of a better class of horses. This has been the means of developing better 

 riders and the Club is well re])resented at all of the Hunt Cbib meets through this coun- 

 try, while members have been known to go across the line to search for honors against 

 the members of the Hunt Clubs of the United States. 



The Club has always looked to the interests of the farmer over whose farms the 

 ni(inli( r< hunt, and annuallv a dinner is jriven for these gentlemen. In fact, the 

 farmers show a kiiully interest in the welfare of the Club and arc well icprcscntcd
