Unusual interest has been taken in the hare and hounds' run this fall. Six regular hunts have been held under the auspices of the H. A. A., and all of them have been successful and enjoyable. Over twenty hounds have formed the pack each time, and the almost entire absence of so-called professionals has given every runner a fair chance to win a cup for himself. An occasional rainy Tuesday made a postponement necessary, but with this exception there has been no serious set back until the present snowstorm, which make further runs impossible.

Early in the season it was deemed advisable to frame a set of rules for hare and hound's runs. A committee from the H. A. A., together with several men prominent in the weekly hunts, adopted the rules published in the CRIMSON of October 26th. It will be noticed that there is nothing in these rules radically different from those previously understood, except that the hares are liable to forfeit their right to cups if they win by laying a scent unsatisfactorily to three-quarters of the hounds. Whether it is because of this rule or not, the hares have since laid much better scent. In fact the scent was so good that one man complained that he never had a chance to rest. The experiment of having an extra hunt on Friday was successfully tried. No prizes were offered to the winner in this hunt, and it was intended to be a pleasant afternoon's run across country. It is to be hoped that next fall the H. A. A. will make extra hunts on Friday as much of a custom as those on Tuesday have been this year.
