Now that the fall athletic season has begun and foot-ball has been fairly started, it seems time to bring up for consideration the annual hare and hounds runs of the H. A. A. These runs have served three distinct and valuable purposes in past years-to afford an afternoon of delightful sport, to give the participants the best of athletic training, and to develope material for the Mott Haven team. During the last few days we have heard many express a wish for the revival of the sport. and signify their desire to participate in cross country runs. Indeed, the demand has been so general that it seems incumbent upon the H. A. A. to take action in the matter. Surely a sport so healthful and so pleasant should not be abandoned because of the enthusiasm in other lines of athletics. We hope, therefore that the mere expression of a general desire for hare and hounds runs will meet the approbation of the H. A. A-and that right speedily.
