HARE AND HOUNDS.
Interesting Sport for Bicycle Riders
In the Fall.

III Aht
One of the interesting games that can
be played on the bicycle is Hare and
Hound Chase" This is how it is done:
This sport consists of appointing. or in
some wayagreeing upon, twoor more of the
swiftest bicycle riders, who are designated
as the "Hares Each of these is provided
with bag, which can be carried over the
shoulder, and is filled with fine bits Of
paper. The chase is for any distance that
is agreed upon-say, ten miles. The road
to be taken is known only to the .Hares, y
who may decide upon it to suit themselves
as they go along. They are usually given
start OF several m!nutes, the advantage
in time being propOrtioned to the length
of the route and the fact that they must
carry the bags of paper.
at the starting point are stationed the
balance of the riders, who are known us the
Hounds" The ''Hares' are expected to
throw handful of paper on the ground at
each corner which they turn, and an
other handful Just after turning the COR
ner SO as to indicate the direction in " hich
they have turned.
1t is usual to appoint rider to be known
rs Nv hipper- who rides sat the rear OF
the Hounds" and prevents their getting
scattered.
The prize, whatever it is, goes to the
first rider who oyertakcs either of the
'Hares." II they are not overtaken before
the end of the ride, the prize goes To them.
