The hare and hound run yesterday afternoon was very long, and resulted in the loss of the scent by the hounds, who ran back to the finish without following the hares further.
The course, at first over very rough ground, was out Boylston street, across the marshes, through Allston, and over Corey Hill to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. At this point the scent was lost, owing to the darkness, and the pack of 17 turned back to Cambridge, reaching home an hour and forty minutes after the start. A. Ingersoll '96, was first, H. W. Foote '97, second, and F. L. Waldo '98, third. The first two were close together. Fourteen minutes later, the hares, D. Grant, Sp., and A. W. Blakemore '98, appeared, having run around the reservoirs, through Brookline and into Copley Square by way of Huntington avenue, and home by the Harvard Bridge. The distance covered was about fourteen miles, but the men finished in good condition.
