THE following extract from the rules of the Westchester Hare-and-hound Club may be of use to those intending to join in the run to-morrow.

In conducting a hare-and-hound chase, the following requisites should be insured:-

1. A suitable range of country, not too thickly settled, where there may be mostly cross-country and very little road work.

2. Hares to be two in number, carrying bags of scent (paper cut or torn in pieces about one and one-half inches square).

3. An officer, termed Master of the Hunt, who shall have a general supervision and control of the hunt, and who, assisted by the whips, shall keep the pack together in slow hunts.

The hares should select their line of country before the run takes place. The time allowed the hares varies according to the proposed duration of the run, - varying from five to twenty minutes.

When the trail is found, the pack close up, and follow it strictly. If, however, the hares are viewed at any part of the run, the trail may be disregarded, and the hares chased by the shortest route. The master of the hunt (the hares not having been sighted) determines a point from which the hounds are permitted to race for home.

ATTENTION is called to the advertisement of Dr. Tourjec's Conservatory of Music on page vii. This establishment is well adapted to meet the musical wants of Harvard men.
