Hare and Hounds.

The interest in this port created by the first run of a week ago was well sustained yesterday, which day the Athletic Association had named for the date of the second run. The steward in charge was Mr. Wendell Baker, and at a few minutes after four he sent off Brandt, '85 and Williams, '85, the hares, from the usual starting place in front of Matthews. Meanwhile the hounds and quite a crowd collected about to see the second start. hazard, '85, was master of hounds and after the seven minutes of allowance was up he led off a pack of 19 hounds. The course led over the iron bars between Harvard and Hollis on to the Common. Here the hounds were soon at fault, for mischievous boys had taken up some of the plentiful paper scent and marked out a false track toward Christ Church and into a neighboring yard. After several minutes of precious time had been wasted in investigating this trick, the hounds once more took up the scent on Concord Avenue to the Arsenal, where they all had to take the high picket fence, Across fields and roads, up Bowdoin, Linnean and Raymond street. to the redolent settlement in North Cambridge, called "Dublin," the chase lay clear enough. Then over the railroad and up the avenue, and finally toward the old Somerville powder house. Here the hounds were again at fault in a large open field. The scent regained, they wandered about the low country lying between Tufts College and winter Hill, over fences and railroad banks and through an unpleasant marsh, where all, hares as well as hounds, got wet feet. Coming towards home on a straight road, the way was clear enough until suddenly the scent was found to stop without any bags being left. After a diligent search, one of the bags was found where it had been left a little to the rear. The other had been stolen by boys and the scent scattered on a lapse trail which had deceived the hounds. The break was a mile and a quarter from home, just over the Somerville line. The hares came in at about five, and twenty four minutes oater four of the hounds, Russell '87, Austin, '87, Guild, '86 and Dewey, '86, in the order named, came in. They had not waited for the break and so lost all chances for the cup. The first hound in, according to rules, was E. C. Webster, '87. A. T. Dudley, '87, was next, followed by L. Sullivan. 88, and Hazard, the master of hounds. The run was much enjoyed, being about the right length and over easy country. The plan of not allowing the hares to mark out a definite course beforehand seemed to work well. The only trouble was that caused by the "muckers" tampering with the scent, and the stealing of the bag at the end. Last year two bags were lost in about the same neighborhood. Another hunt will be arranged as soon after the fall atheistic meeting as possible.
