St. James's harriers (now Ivanhoe Harriers) combined with Melburnian hare and hounds at Brighton Beach on Saturday, 25 July 1914, and had a very pretty run over 6 miles of very level country. The harriers started from the baths, and followed the trail over barbed wire fences, and through Chinese gardens, in the direction of Sandringham. About 1000 yards from home the runners were lined up on the Brighton Beach road, and a run-in was held, the order of finishing being F. Bryant, C. Taylor, L. Everitt. The plunge in the baths was very enjoyable, but, as will be imagined, did not last long.
