...sixth hare and hound run of the season was held yesterday afternoon, the course being up Concord avenue to Fresh Pond and around the pond. The break was from the west end of Mt. Auburn.

...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.
