Hare and Hounds.

Yesterday's hare and hounds hunt was the longest and best conducted one which has taken place this season. The two hares, Dana, '88 and Davenport, '90, left the steps of Matthews at 3.30 o'clock and were followed ten minutes later by a pack of about thirty hounds. After doubling twice on their track, the hares started up Brattle street, and then crossed over to Mt. Auburn street where there was a clear cut until Watertown was reached. Here the hares started cross country, over half ploughed fields, full of rocks and stubble. At this point some of the hounds gave out, probably from the supposition that if they had been built for running, nature would have furnished them with four legs instead of two, and accordingly took the horse-cars back to Cambridge. After passing by the Brighton abattoir, the scent was found leading down Brighton avenue, but as darkness began to set in, it was voted to abandon the scent and strike out for the first side street which lead to Cambridge. When the hounds arrived there the bags were found, and the break was made across Boylston bridge and up that street to the gymnasium. The first hares in were Cogswell, '88, Harlow, '88 and Miles, '88. They found that the hares had arrived about half an hour before them. The length of the run was about ten miles, slow hunt, and the scent was very plainly laid. The main body of the hounds were greatly hampered by a few of their number who persisted in keeping far in the rear. Hereafter two hunts a week will be given, on Tuesdays and Fridays, and undoubtedly a large number will be ready for the one next Tuesday.
