Hare and Hounds Run.

The first of the hare and hounds runs proved a success in every way. In spite of the threatening weather and the bad condition of the streets and fields, over forty men turned out. Coolidge and Paine, the hares, laid their trail down by the University Museum, thence up Oxford street and across fields by a more or less circuitous route to the Cambridge Reservoir and home by the old Harvard cross country course to a point on Garden street near the Observatory, where the break was made. The whole distance covered was about six miles, and the hares were out just fifty minutes. The first hound arrived 11 minutes and 30 seconds later, 30 seconds inside the allowance of 12 minutes given to the hounds in consideration of the difficulties they are likely to meet with in following the trail. W. H. Vincent '97 and F. C. Hinckley '95 had a close brush at the finish, but the former won by a few feet. The next four men to finish were A. Ingraham '96, H. T. W. Snell '95, W. E. Putnam '96, and C. D. Drew '97. Vincent and Hinckley received cups and Ingraham will get a medal as the hounds beat the hares on time allowance. The next run will be held on Friday afternoon, when Vincent and Hinckley will act as hares.
