The second hare and hounds run of the season will take place this afternoon, unless prevented by rain. There is no sport into which so many persons can enter with so small a chance for possible harm, and there is no form of exercise more beneficial, as well as exhilarating to men enjoying average good health. The slow runs are not severe - for the running is not continuous and there is often an opportunity for walking or even resting. No one is compelled to race for home when the break is made. Therefore, men who have never done much running need not fear to try their modest powers in the weekly hunts. Then, too, it is not the best short distance runner that wins the cup, it is the man with the most endurance and pluck. Thus, there is a chance for all. The more, therefore that go, the more enjoyable is the run. Let a hundred men turn out this afternoon ready to run, "and give the alarm to every Middlesex village and farm," including, too, the quiet streets and houses of Old Cambridge.
