Hare and Hounds.

Yesterday afternoon was the time set by the Athletic Association for the first have and hounds run. At a quarter past four a score or so of men had collected about Matthews to see the start, and the hares, S. Abbot, '87, and F. B. Lind, '88, were sent off by the timekeeper, Mr. F. Remington, '87. Seven minutes later the hounds eleven in number, with Brandt, '85, the master of hounds at their head, started in pursuit. The scent lay across the common, up Concord Avenue, over fields and fences near the Cambridge reservoir, and then along the south end of Fresh Pond. Once or twice the scent was badly scattered and some delay ensued. The trail finally led around Fresh Pond toward the north, past the brick yards in North Cambridge, and down the Fitchburg railroad track until the bags were found in a field near the track. The foremost hounds had to wait here until the more backward men came up, according to the rules for a slow hunt, and ten men were there to break for home. after the break, which was two miles from the college grounds, the men became much scattered. Brandt, '85, came in first at twenty minutes past five, fourteen minutes after the hares who had given seven minutes above their original start. Hazard, '85, was second, Williams, '85, third, and W. Austin, , 87, fourth. There will be another run next week, and it is hoped that more men will enter. The cups for this race go to the two hares, as winners, and to Mr. Brandt who was the first hound in.
