...seems to me entirely undesirable and profitless, that the hares in the hare and hound runs should lay their trail through the worst places and the muddiest pools, when there are good roads and fields to run through. It not only makes it very disagreeable for some, but it keeps men from going into these runs who would otherwise...
...through fields and up and down hills for at least a part of the way. It is not at all necessary, however, that courses be chosen which lead through clay pits and wet marshes, as has often been the case. If the hares are careful in laying their trail this afternoon we feel sure that the attendance on future runs will be far larger...
Thirty-seven men started yesterday in the second hare and hounds run. F. C. Hinckley '95 and W. H. Vincent '97 were the hares and they laid the trail up Brattle street, around Fresh Pond, up the Watertown road, around Mt.

The hares were gone one hour and thirteen minutes and they beat the hounds by sixteen minutes. The first six hounds in their...

The whole distance covered was about six miles, and the hares were...

The hares are given a start of about five minutes over the hounds, and after laying a trail of a few miles they designate some spot about half a mile from home as a "break" and mark this by a pile of the paper "scent." The hounds make no pretense to fast running until they reach this point, when the master-of-hounds gives the signal and such...
