The hare and hounds run yesterday afforded excellent opportunities not only for cross-country running but also steeple-chasing, as the ditches encountered in the marshes of the Charles river and several fences along the course tested one's hurdling ability. The run was largely attended and the chief feature was the catching of the hares.
A. Blake '93 and H. C. Lakin '94 laid a good trail in the vicinity of Fresh Pond, taking a wide circle around Mt. Auburn cemetry, finishing down Mt. Auburn street. D. W. Fenton '95 was master of the hounds and the pack were well up at the brake which was about three quarters of a mile from the gymnasium, and in the run home several took the wrong street and lost much ground. J. Manley '93 finished first, just nine minutes after the arrival of the hares. J L. Coolidge '95 was second and A. L. Endicott '94 came in third. By virtue of catching the hares, the first three hounds will receive prizes. Thursday being Thanksgiving, the next run will be held Monday, Nov. 28.
