The stormy weather of yesterday was a drawback on the success of the hare and hounds run and tended to diminish the usual large attendance. However, about twenty five men turned out and enjoyed the sport. A good trail was laid by J. Manley '93 and J. L. Coolidge '95 who acted as hares. The paper led across different yards down to the Charles river, through Allston, where the hounds had some difficulty in following the scent. Thence the trail crossed through Brighton, Brookline and around the reservoir, terminating at the Cambridge end of the Harvard bridge. A. L. Endicott '94 was master of the hounds and lined up the men here for the break. The hounds raced back to the gymnasium and D. W. Fenton, 2nd, finished first with J. W. Schereschewsky '95 second and J. P. Fox '94 third.
The hares made a fast run of it and were not caught, thus only the first two hounds receive prizes. The distance which was about ten miles was covered by the hounds in one hour and a half. The next run will take place Thursday afternoon.
