Hare and Hounds.

A slow hare and hounds run took place yesterday afternoon instead of a fast one which was at first intended. The air was clear and brisk, making the afternoon a most desirable one for a run; yet, in spite of that, only six hounds entered. As Davenport and Downs were unable to run, Gorham, '90, and Dodge, '91, acted as hares, starting at precisely 4.11 from Matthews. Their course extended through back yards and cross streets to Fresh Pond, thence up the railroad track to Mount Auburn cemetery, from there to the Brighton abattoir, over Brighton street to Barry' corner, where the bags were dropped. The course covered about six miles and the trail was good all the way. The hares arrived at the gymnasium at just one-quarter of a minute after five o'clock, thus making their time a little over 49 minutes. The hounds, of which T. T. Seelye was master, arrived in the following order: T. T. Seelye, L. S. Mandell, '89, R. C. Robbins, '91 The first hound arrived at 5.13, covering the distance in eight minutes more than the hares, who had five minutes start. Cups will be given the hares and the first hound.
