HARVARD BICYCLE CLUB.

The second regular hare and hound chase of the club took place yesterday afternoon despite the high wind that was blowing, and was in all respects a thorough success. The hares, Messrs. Norton, '85, and Claflin, '86, left the steps of Matthews at precisely 3.19 1/2 o'clock. A dozen or more hounds who had assembled started seven minutes later, and from then on the race was an exciting one. The course lay through Brighton by indirect route to Watertown, thence to West Newton, on to the junction of Beacon and Washington streets, very near Newtonville. Here the hounds were encouraged by learning from the relay who joined them that the hares were hardly five minutes ahead of them. The road thence through Newton Centre to Chestnut Hill Reservoir was perfect in all respects, and good riding was done by the hounds, that of Messrs. White and Maverick being especially good. At the reservoir the scent was lost, and fully three minutes were consumed before it was found again. Once more before reaching the finish the whole body of hounds were misled and took a circuitous route before regaining the regular trail. Mr. Moffat was the first of the hounds to reach the finish, closely followed by Mr. Hemenway. The total distance ridden was very nearly nineteen miles, and the riding time of the hares was 1 hour 26 1/2 minutes, being remarkably good considering the high west wind that blew against them all the outward course. The riding time of the first hound was 1 hour, 28 minutes, 3 seconds. The hares chose good roads, and so great was the success of the run that the management of the club feel encouraged to announce another for next Thursday afternoon. All riders connected with the university are invited to participate, whether they be members of the club or not.
