Hare and hounds associations, either independently or under the management of the athletic associations, exist at many of our colleges. Their meets furnish an interesting run for the hares and the twenty or thirty hounds who pursue them, and the send-off is a pretty sight. The hares are given a suitable start. They carry with them bags filled with small bits of paper, from which, as they run, they sprinkle their path with pieces, to give a distinct clue to the hounds. When fairly out in the country they exercise the utmost ingenuity to perplex the pursuing hounds: choosing routes which lead through brush and bog; now in at the window of some barn or outhouse, and out at a hole in the side or floor; over hedge and through ditch, across brook and river, until the spot is reached where the scent bags are abandoned, — the sign to the hounds that the run is over and that they can make their best time to the goal. The interest in this sport is maintained not only by the general competition between hares and hounds, but also by the spirit of emulation which prevails among the hounds as to the order of their arrival at goal, on their return.
