...stubble. At this point some of the hounds gave out, probably from the supposition that if they had been built for running, nature would have furnished them with four legs instead of two, and accordingly took the horse-cars back to Cambridge. After passing by the Brighton abattoir, the scent was found leading down Brighton avenue, but as darkness began to set in, it was voted to abandon the scent and strike out for the first side street which lead to Cambridge. When the hounds arrived there the bags were found, and the break was made across Boylston bridge...
...yesterday was thoroughly successful. The scent was very well laid by the hares, H. Page, '88, and W. Wells, '90, who started at 3.33 and were followed at 3.40 by the hounds, under the leadership of F. B. Dana, '88. Page and Wells arrived at the gymnasium at 4.49. The first two hounds, C. A.

The experiment of having an extra hunt on Friday...
Yesterday afternoon a very successful hare and hounds run was held. The scent was well laid, for the first time in any run this season, and the weather conditions were all that could be desired. The hares, Hale, '88, and D. C. Holden, '88, left the steps in front of Matthews at 3.35. and thirty-one hounds, under Dana, '88, started a few moments later. The hares headed for Norton's Woods, but doubling on their track, went down Dana St. to Mt. Auburn St; thence their course was through Spark St. to the Brick Yards, and down the railroad...
