There will be a hare and hounds run on Saturday next at 3 P. M. The hares, Mr. Harrison, '86, and Mr. Rust '87, will start from the steps of Matthews and will take the hounds over a measured course of not more than 15 miles. The hares are to have five minutes start, and are considered beaten if caught, or if any hound succeeds in finishing within five minutes of the hares. All hounds riding the whole distance at the rate of 12 1-2 miles per hour will receive "time cups," besides all winners of last year...

There is no reason, however, why this year, Harvard college, with its largely increased size should not find it to its interest and convenience...

At the start the Harvard crew instantly forged ahead, rowing 41 strokes to their opponents 47. Columbia rowed in poor form, splashing very badly and rolling the boat. Harvard's perfect form almost immediately gave her a commanding lead, and before the first half minute was passed the men in the Cambridge boat felt sure of victory...
