Saturday afternoon at 2.41, Webster, '87, and Dana, '88, hares, started from Matthews for the longest run of the season. Eight minutes later they were followed by about seven hounds. The course was through Watertown, Newton, around Chestnut Hill reservoir, through Brighton and Allston to the Brookline bridge, where the break was made for home, the whole distance being about thirteen miles. The hares reached the gymnasium at 4.41, followed, one minute later by the first hound, Bowen, '87. The second hound in was Marquand, '89. It will be seen that the hounds won, but probably by a slight irregularity, for, noticing that the hares occasionally left the road and soon returned to it, the former kept along the road and so gained a long distance on them. According to rule, the hares should have been in thirty minutes before the hounds.
