voice either in approval or protest, but all were so earnest that no one appeared to mo- tice it. The leader of the meeting, tall strong, smooth faced young sailor, read the xvi chapter of Acts, and after few pointed | remarks left the meeting open for all to take part. The voices of the sailors and landsmen | who took part showed that there is @ good | work being done there, and it is pleasing | thought that active steps are being taken to | erect more suitable building in which to | hold their meetings.
 Hare and Hounds.
 A Short but Rough Run of Seven Miles
 over West Rock. The second hare and hounds run of the Yale undergraduates took place Saturday afternoon. About o'clock 8 party of eleven seniors, six sophomores, 8 freshman and scientific gath cred at the fence, preparatory to taking the Westville cars. On arriving at the horse car terminus it was discovered that something had been left behind, and that something turned out to be the hares A wait of twenty minutes was enlivened by leap-frog, vaulting and box ing much to the amusement of the natives, who expressed much wonder as to what ''them chaps in short brooches was going to do." On the arrival of the hares the whole party pro-
 
 's2, who, in the absence of MT. Darling had been chosen whipper-in and master of the hunt, at 3:O4 gave the signal to start. Six minutes later the whole pack started of at rattling pace round bend in the road where the trail was struck. If the trail was easy to find it was easier to lose, for by very clever double the hounds were led over West river and thrown completely of the scent. After about fifteen minutes delay Tappan, 80, found the right trail and the whole pack start ed for a half-hour's climb up the face of West Rock The scent here ran along the east side of the rock through gullies and under brush, until at last clearing was reached which afforded magnificent view of the sur rounding country. Some of the moro athleti- cally inclined here made halt, not to rest, of course, but just to enjoy the prospect This enjoyment, however, was of short duration, as the energetic little whipper-in reused them up and started them to seek for the trail, which had in the meantime been lost. After finding the scent, which now led toward Win tergreen Lake, the pack fell in with party of seniors, who by dropping false scsnts, trip ping up the hounds and dispensing tafy ib- orally to the runners created considerable con- fusion as well as amusement. When the lake was reached the pack divided; the larger num- | Der running along the hills on the west side, | through the marshy ground at the head of the | lake, struck off through the fields toward Hamden while small party of tricky seniors, | sighting dark object near the head of the | lake, ran along the east shore intent on secur- l ing what they took to be the hares All vis- | ions of a brilliant capture were, however, soon announced to the disgusted party that Eff it's that log that yees fellers is after ye may as well walk as run" After such disappointment there was noth- | ing left but to run ahead and join the pack, l who were now laboring through the swamps | and brush below Wintergreen Falls. After much difficult running, in which the scent was continually being lost, the hounds, all l well together, leaped stone wall, where the l signal to start for home was found. Shepley | now gave the word to start for home and 8 lively run of a mile and quarter began. MacQuestern, s. s. s., '82, was the first at the | finish, being twenty minutes behind the hares, who had arrived at 4:16. After MacQues- tern came Shoemaker, '82, White, 80, Bronson, '82, and Barker, 80, followed by the rest, who struggled in one at time, the last man coming in thirty-three minutes after the hares. After the run the party proceeded to WestviIle, where an impromptu banquet of crackers, ginger snaps and oranges was discussed by a tired and hungry though jolly crowd. The run, though only seven miles, was very II rough one, and owing to lack of scent was not as fast as the one previously held at Fair Ha- ven. Notwithstanding the water. mud and numerous falls, the run was voted success, and plans were laid for third run to be held next Saturday. The thanks of the party are due to MT. Shepley, '82, for the manner in which he conducted the hunt, keeping the pack well together and always being the first to start of when @ new trail was discovered. | West Haven Notes.
