The time is now at hand when the managers of the Athletic Association should arrange for the annual series of hare and hounds runs. Owing to the excellent good sense shown in the management of these runs cross country last fall, they were highly successful, and for those who needed systematic exercise twice a week at least, and who for one reason or another could not play foot-ball, hare and hounds afforded the very best means for vigorous recreation. For those who hope to become members of the Mott Haven team as long-distance runners, no better opportunity for increasing their powers of endurance could be afforded them. The interest evinced in hare and hounds during the past three years is sufficient proof that the exhilarating sport has obtained a firm foothold here, and, with a proper display of energy on the part of the athletic management, the first run ought to be held early next week.
