The interest shown in the hare and hounds runs this fall gives evidence of the high appreciation which is placed on that sport by the students here. It is a pity that the weather is now becoming so cold that many of those who have run with the hounds so far this year are by degrees dropping out from the list without any fresh recruits taking their places. In all probability there will only be two or three more hunts this season, and an athletic sport which had such a good beginning ought certainly to have a good ending. One of the dampening effects on the enthusiasm of the hounds has been the bad scent laid, causing a great deal of annoyance and trouble to the hounds, suffering as they did, a sudden chill when the excitement of the chase was relaxed for any considerable length of time. In December weather the hares cannot be over-particular in leaving a very plain trail and all the petty tricks for throwing the hounds off the scent should be discarded as much as possible. If the runs in the future be conducted in this way, there is no reason why the last one should not evoke as much enthusiasm as the first one did and the success of the sport for next year will be assured.
