...hare and hounds run yesterday afternoon, although it had been announced as an easy one, proved to be the hardest of the season. Bordman and Paine, the hares, laid their trail out to Tufts, College and from there over toward West Cambridge. Here they went through some very swampy territory for about a mile. The ground was so soft that the men sank to their knees at almost every step. They finally made the "break" on Concord avenue, about three-quarters of a mile from the gymnasium...
...hounds, 52 in number, lost the trail after leaving the wet ground and split into two divisions. E. B. Hill '94, raced in far ahead of the men he was with. Emerson and Coolidge were the first two men in the second lot, which had come by a different route. As, by the rules, all the hounds should have staid by Emerson, the master of hounds, until he ordered them to break, the first lot of men were disqualified...
Forty-five hounds started on the third hare and hounds run yesterday afternoon. The trail was a little longer than before, being between nine and ten miles. It was laid through Central Square, Allston Bridge, Beacon Park, Coolidge Corner, Beacon Street, Corey Hill, Commonwealth Avenue, and Brighton to Barry's Corner, where the break took place...
About the same number of men went on the second hare and hounds run as were on the first. The trail was laid out through Allston and Cottage Farms and was about seven miles in length. The hares, Marsters and Ross, were out just 55 minutes and the first hounds came in 14 minutes later, being beaten by two minutes. A strong wind scattered the scent and this fact doubtless handicapped the hounds considerably...
...About seventy men went on the first run and with a comparatively short run and good weather, it proved very satisfactory. The exercise is fine, giving as it does the open air and a wholesome amount of physical exertion. It is too early yet to lead a long, hard trail, and the run today will probably be about like the first. The excitement of the run will be very much increased if a large number of men take part, and those in charge hope that even a larger number than went on the first run will appear at the time...
