When it was finished it was accepted, we understand, in the regular prescribed way by the corporation, but, strange to say, all authority over thecontrol of the building seems to have gone to the winds. It is impossible to find out who has charge. The eleven have just seen fit to use the building and find themselves embarrassed at every turn.

Why then should we continue a modern custom that has nothing to recommend it, unless it be the saving of a few dollars? The majority of men would be amply repaid for the expense...
...have experienced it. The amusing incidents of each run, the new scenes visited only on such occasions, and the bracing air and exercise make the sport a favorite with men who do not take an active part in athletics; while men who have some ability as long distance runners find hare and hounds an invaluable aid in developing their running powers...
