1943 - "Toroise Wins By A Hare" by Bob Clampett
1947 - "Rabbit Transit" by I Freleng

meanwhile, Disney's Toby Tortoise and Max Hare appeared again in "Toby Tortoise Returns" in 1936.

I'm pretty sure I have all (or most) of these cartoons.

And for the record, there are some "experts" who cite Max Hare as the inspiration for Bugs' personality.
