The Boston Gazette says: "A most amusing treat was afforded to those whose good fortune it was to be driving in the neighborhood of Cambridge on Thursday afternoon. Any one not knowing that Harvard students indulge among their other eccentricities in the game of 'Hare and Hounds,' might have supposed the Somerville Asylum or the School for Feeble-Minded Youth had let their young inmates out for an airing. 'Up hill and down dale,' 'in and out and round about' they went, while at intervals might be heard the inspiring sound, 'Tally Ho,' 'Tally Ho,' which to the initiated meant that the lost 'trail' of scraps of white paper was again 'scented.' Great excitement prevailed when the trail was once lost at the river bank in Brighton, and then discovered to be continued on the opposite bank; however, these brave hounds would not be outdone by the nimble hares, and with the help of a friendly hound they paddled themselves safely over. This was the most natable game of the season without doubt."
