CUNNINGHAME HARRIERS

The club had a run from Stevenston on Saturday.

The hares (Messrs Gourlay and Robertson) were sent off, and four minutes later the pack followed, with R. Donaldson as pace and H. Hughes whip.

The route was by Ardeer grounds across the Kilwinning road above Stevenston and through the fields of Kerelaw Mains. A detour of about a mile and the trail again joined the high road near to Saltcoats, and kept the road till above Ardrossan. The turn home was made here along the Caledonian Railway to the head of Raise Street and through the fields via Auchenharvie to the Saltcoats side of Stevenston.
