In the late fall of 1919 the compiler was enjoying the hospitality of Mr. Warren A. Powel, of Taylorville, Illi- nois, for a week of shooting over their dogs. One evening- after a very pleasant day spent afield with the hounds, the conversation turned to the very considerable increase of in- terest in the breed among sportsmen, noted in the recent years. Mr. Powel remarked that this reminded him of something- he had carried in his mind for some time. He went on to say that the newcomers in the ranks were in quest of reliable information on the various phases of the subject, and with all prior works out of print, their only source of information was the all too chary contributions of men of experience in the press, or personal correspondence, the limitations of which admitted of meager information only. So, he continued, he felt there should be a work written or compiled from which the newcomers could obtain the desired information, and which would also preserve the history of the breed, past and present, as far as it could be obtained, while those who could furnish the facts were still with us. After considerable discussion during the week, the conclu- sion was reached that the work would be of much greater value as a source of authoritative information to beginners if the various phases of the subject, aside from the historical section, for which the press accounts and records would sup- ply the material, were treated in separate articles by men of unquestioned authority. It was desirable that the work should cover the subject as thoroughly as possible, therefore letters were written to many men long interested in the breed to obtain their views as to the scope of the work. In this way the composite idea of the beagle followers was obtained, and the general plan of the work determined. Introductory Following out the plan of making the work as useful as pos- sible to the sportsmen more recently taking an interest in the breed, it must be understood that the contributions of the various writers of special articles have been re-produced ex- actly as supplied by them, after the staff of writers had been selected upon consultation of the more experienced followers of the breed. Hence the readers of this work have in these pages the views and benefit of the experience of long years of these sportsmen, exactly as supplied by them. But permit this observation of the compiler, that in saying this, it is not done with the view of relieving himself of any responsibility for the views expressed. On the contrary, he wishes to say, that after an experience in the breed of come twenty years, involving attendance at field trial events and shows and ex- change of views, he endorses as sound to the core every con- tribution of the various special writers to be found in these pages. One feature of the work to which special attention and a great deal of time has been devoted has been the effort to obtain as many good pictures of the more noted dogs as pos- sible for the illustrations. Beagle followers, especially of the generation of those from 1900 on, have suffered many of the best hounds of that period to pass from the scene of their accomplishments without having good pictures of them pre- served. Those presented are all the most diligent efforts of the compiler has been able to bring to light, and, in passing, it is desired to invoke for the benefit of someone who may in later years undertake a similar task, greater attention to this item upon the part of the followers of the beagle. The compilation of the work has brought, along with the labor and time spent, the very great pleasure of a much more extensive acquaintance with the beagle followers, and it is desired to here express grateful acknowledgment of the inter- est manifested in the work by them generally, and the many helpful suggestions made and assistance accorded in different ways from many of whom limitations of space « preclude spe- cial mention. Invaluable assistance has been afforded by the reports of shows and field trial meetings found in the press accounts Introductory of the period covered, and by the records of the American Kennel Club and the American Field Publishing- Company through its Field Stud Dog Book, the officers and represen- tatives of both of which institutions have extended every courtesy and possible assistance. All available sources of in- formation have been checked carefully in an attempt to make the data and records presented as accurate as possible. Inac- curacies may still be found, but the record information pre- sented is as nearly correct as the best effort which could be put forth and the sources of information available have made possible. With all individual effort expended, however, whatever measure of success has been achieved must be recorded as being in no small part due to the writers of the special articles presented, who have undertaken them only after much modest protest and urgent solicitation, not only of the compiler, but of others who have suggested them for their several assign- ments. Along this line it may be said that each has asked the question as to how much space he was to take, and re- ceived the uniform answer that he was to take as much space as he deemed necessary to cover his subject. It is desired to express a special measure of appreciation of the assistance received from the prior able works of Mr. Bradford S. Turpin and Mr. Reno B. Cole, which have afford- ed a wealth of information and material impossible to obtain otherwise. Neither may this feature of the work he passed properly without expressing appreciation of the great interest taken and assistance extended by Mr. James W. Appleton, President and pioneer member of the National Beagle Club of America, and Mr. C. Staly Doub. The last named gentle- man possesses a collection of scrap book material and pictures which must be seen to be appreciated, covering practically the entire period of beagle history in America, since our favorites were taken up as a breed, first in shows and later in field trial events. These pictures and his scrap book collection he cheer- fully made available for use in the work, and it is hoped will accept the will for the deed for any shortcomings of expres- sion of appreciation of the assistance he has thereby afforded. Introductory Another gentleman who has taken a great interest in the breed in a very practical way, along the same lines as Mr. Doub, is Mr. L. I. Wade, of Houston, Texas, of the Southwest- ern Beagle Club, who some years back conceived and carried out the idea of compiling and keeping up to date an alphabeti- cal list of winners in field trials, with their breeding and data of their performances. The use of this record, furnished by him, has made it practicable to supply this, one of the most valuable features of this work, otherwise a matter of great labor and research. Without the co-operation of the many admirers of the merry little hound generally, and the past and present efforts of the gentlemen mentioned, in particular, all flowing from the well spring of mutual helpfulness and good fellowship which is the common heritage of all true sportsmen, this work could not have been carried to completion. If, therefore, it shall serve its intended purpose, full measure of credit for its success is accorded to the sources, and to the press, and to the gentle- men and to the organizations mentioned. As to the compiler personally, he wishes to say that while the undertaking has involved a considerable amount of labors on his part, his researches, taking him as they have through the period of over a third of a century covered, with their attendant insight into the high and sportsmanlike character of the gentlemen who have been responsible for the estima- tion in which the breed and its accompanying institutions of field trials and shows are held today, have been a source of real pleasure. But with all this, there is due Mr. Powel, thorough sportsman and true friend of all sportsmen, whose insistence upon the undertaking and liberality in carrying it on has made the work possible, a full division of whatever credit may be accorded to those directly responsible for its production. THE BEAGLE IN AMERICA BY H. W. PRENTICE DEKALB, ILLINOIS INTO whatever realms of conjecture we may be lead by specu- lation as to the origin of the domestic dog of today, as we find it in the many recognized breeds, none may gainsay the fact that he is the first friend and companion of man among ani- mals. Scientific research has disclosed the bones of prehistoric men and dogs side by side, and so the dog has continued through the ages, truly chronicled as the beloved companion of mankind. Man, quick to recognize his worth as a puppy playmate of the children, and as guardian of the home and valued companion and assistant in the chase as he grew to maturity, has from time to time by breeding and selection, and calling to the assistance o) his intelligence the mysterious instinct intensifying and characteristic developing processes of the chemistry of nature, developed the various breeds suited to his especial needs. And among these may be found none more loved and valued by man, as friend and companion at home and afield, than the well named "merry little hound," the beagle of our day. Implanted in the breast of man from the earliest days of which we have account, or information resulting from the research of archaeologists, is the love of the chase and the pursuit of game. Originally a matter of detail of the daily life as a means of supplying the family larder, the instinct of the chase remained after the coming of domestic herds and flocks supplying the family needs. With the increasing elimination from time to time of capture of game as a matter of necessity, there has re- sulted among the civilized peoples an increasing appreciation of the value of the chase as a matter of sportsmanship, and of the attendant benefit to mankind as a source of recreation. In America, with the settlement of the country from time to time, and the clearing of the forests and fields for agricultural purposes and attendant destruction of the natural cover and The Beagle in America 19 retreats necessary to the protection and conservation of wild life, game has become scarcer and scarcer with the progress of de- velopment of the country. But the sportsmen of the present generation, confronted with the practical disappeaVance in many sections of every other kind of game, have yet to thank Dame Nature for the common rabbit, which remains and propagates about the haunts of civilized man, and so affords, with the beagle as four-footed companion of the chase, the means, un- available to the great majority of sportsmen otherwise, of satis- fving the natural desire of man for an occasional day's sport afield. IMP. FLORIST Writers differ as to the origin of the beagle, but wherever it may have been, the breed has been an established one in England for several centuries. We find in Orpheus, a painting dating about the year 1650, by the Italian master Castiglioni, who is said to have visited England about that time, and in other The Beagle in America paintings of about the same period, representations which are unquestionably those of beagles. Chaucer and Shakespeare mention them in their writings, and Mr. Paget in his article in this work mentions them as having been known in times of great antiquity there. In later years, as our forefathers of English parentage and those who followed them, first came to our shores, the sportsman of their number from time to time brought their favorites with them. Many years before they were taken up as a breed by any specialty club in America, they were known here as a dis- tinct breed. We read in Mr. Turpin's well known work that a majority of the beagles of a century ago were, as he describes them, "long bodied, crooked legged dogs, usually black and tan in color, with snipy muzzles and rather short ears," these char- acteristics, variant in those respects from the beagle of the recognized standard of today, being doubtless due to crossing in on beagles brought from England more or less of dachshund or basset hound blood. BELRAV CHORISTER Notwithstanding the scarcity of importations of fresh blood in pure bred beagles, and the lack of any club formed in the interest of the breed in America, however, much of the beagle stock was kept remarkably close to the standard. There was in America in an early day, and may be still, a type provided for in the shows as late as the early eighties, called the bench-legged beagle. Among the exhibitors of them were Mr. Pottinger Dorsey, and from his surviving contemporaries are obtained accounts of them in considerable numbers in Maryland, his home The Beagle in America state, and elsewhere. We find no mention of them as a specially recognized breed in England, yet it is said by Mr. Hiram Card that Dyke, one of the ancestors of his Blue Cap strain, was a bench-legged beagle purchased from a breeder in Maryland, and the immediate ancestors of this particular dog are said to have been imported stock. With the advent of dog shows and their accompanying estab- lishment of standards of type through the activities of specialty clubs devoted to the interests of the different breeds, beagle in- terests began to receive more deserving attention. In 1884 the first specialty club of the breed, the American-English Beagle Club, was formed and a standard of type adopted. Today, nearly four decades since, a comparison of the standard then adopted with that of today, found elsewhere in this work in parallel columns, shows the then prevailing idea of the right kind of beagle to have stood the test of experience of the intervening years with very little change found necessary. To these pioneers, therefore, must be accorded the credit of laying the enduring foundation of the beagle of our day. It will be of interest and in the proper place here to give the first standard, and the standard of the National Beagle Club of America, now in force, in comparative columns, for the double purpose, first, of showing the standard of points and the relative value of the different sections, under which judgment is passed in the show ring, and second, of showing what changes have been made.

The meaning of the term "beagle," a word of Celtic origin, and in old English "Begele," is small, little. The dog was so named from its dimunitive size. Your committee therefore, for the sake of consistency and that the beagle shall be in fact what his name implies, strongly recommend- ed that the height line be sharply drawn at fifteen inches, and that all dogs exceeding that height shall be disqualified as overgrown and outside the pale of recognition. COLOR. All hound colors are admissible. Perhaps the most pop- ular is black, white and tan. Next in order is the lemon and white, then blue and lemon and mottled, then follow the solid colors, such as black and tan, tan, lemon, fawn, etc. FORE LEGS and FEE T.

Height not to exceed IS inches, measured across the back at the point of the withers, the dog standing in a natural po- sition with his feet well under him. COLOR. Any true hound color. 24 The Beagle in America This arrangement is, of course, arbitrary, the question being one governed entirely by fancy. The colors first named form the most lively contrast and blend bet- ter in the pack, the solid colors be- ing sombre and monotonous to the eye. It is not intended to give a point value to color in the scale for judg- ing; as before said, all true hound colors being correct. The forego- ing remarks upon the subject are therefore simply suggestive. GENERAL APPEARANCE.

The beagle being essentially a hunting dog, this has been done for the pur- pose of giving relatively greater weight to the physical equip- ment of the dog for the field work required, consistent with the item of "general appearance" in the standard, the "miniature foxhound, solid and big for his inches, with the wear and tear look of the dog that can last in the chase, and follow his quarry to the death." CLOUD Since shows afforded the first style of feature affording an opportunity for exhibition of specimens of the breed in competi- tion, it will be in order here to afford information relative to the plan of organization and workings of the American Kennel Club, the general and only governing body in all recognized breeds in America. This organization, with its predecessors, since merged with it, dates back some fifty years or more. It is made up, not of individuals, but of the specialty clubs of the different breeds, 26 The Beagle in America as members. The member clubs, through their regularly elected delegates, select the officers of the American Kennel Club itself, these officers thereupon conducting and administering the affairs and business of the organization. The oldest specialty club in any breed is recognized and stands as the parent club of that breed and later formed organizations, as relating to beagle specialty clubs, desiring to hold a field trial meeting or bench show, must first obtain the sanction of the parent club, which is the National t>eagle Club of America. This being obtained, the show or field trial is licensed by the American Kennel Club, after holding which the newly formed club is eligible to membership in the American Kennel Club, upon making application, which is re- ferred to the parent club, and must be sanctioned by it before the newcomer can be admitted to membership. Specialty clubs are those devoted to the interest of a particular breed or breeds, and are so called to distinguish them from clubs CH. BELRAY CHANCELLOR CH. BELRAY CROMWELL giving events open to dogs of all breeds. Each member club is entitled to hold one annual field trial or show, the results of which are certified and reported by the officers and judges, to the American Kennel Club, where these details are made matters of record. Championships in the various breeds and in field trial events are regulated by rule, and when a dog has completed its championship record, either field or show, the honor achieved is so recorded and recognized. 28 The Beagle in America In bench shows, the American Kennel Club, dating back in the late seventies, first took cognizance of beagles as a breed, prior to the organization of the American-English Beagle Club. Classifications have been changed from time to time, and at the present time the regular classes consist, as to each sex, of the puppy class, open to those over six months and not exceeding one year old; the novice class, open to those bred in the United States, Canada, Mexico or Cuba, and never having won a first prize, puppy class wins excepted, at any recognized show ; the limit class, open to dogs not having won six first prizes in this class; the American bred, open to those bred in the United States; and the open class, open to all over six months old. Three of these classes, including the open class, must be given, and the limit and open classes are usually divided by heighth, between those thirteen inches and under, and those over thirteen and not over fifteen inches. When these classes have been judged, the first place winners in each are brought together for competition in the winners' class, which may be divided by sex, provided the three required legular classes are so divided, thus affording an opportunity for one of each sex to obtain the winner's honor. After winners have been awarded, the others placed first in the regular classes, and also placed second to the winner in any class, unless pre- viously defeated by another in a class in which the winner was not entered, are judged in competition for reserve, the second high honor of the sex. A provision is also made for field trial classes, open to dogs placed at any recognized field trial, and also a hunting class, open to dogs which have been placed at or received a certificate of merit as a hunting dog from judges of a recognized field trial. The winners in these classes, however, do not come into competition for the honor of winners, these classes not being regular classes, as the others mentioned are termed. The bench show championship rule has been changed, also, from time to time, as occasion arose, and is now based upon the number of beagles entered and exhibited in the regular classes of both sexes, upon the following scale of points: Bench Show Championship Rating: Scale of Points 1 2 3 4 5 Entries benched 4 10 14 23 30 Four entries in regular classes and less than ten benched, of both sexes, gives winners of each sex a rating of one point toward a championship, ten entries and less than fourteen gives The Beagle in America 29 two points, and so on up to the five point limit. Fifteen points are required to constitute a show championship record, which must be acquired under at least three different judges, and must include at least two three-point wins. While a scale of points has been provided, covering the dif- ferent sections, the comparison method of judging is now uni- versally followed by judges in the ring, using the values in the different sections as a guide in passing upon the relative merit EDWARD MARSHALL of the entries. There has at times been more or less agitation and discussion of the plan of doing the judging by the score card method, giving each entry the score to which in the judg- 30 The Beagle in America ment of the judge it is entitled, and determining the results of the competition according to the scores so made under judgment. This plan has been tried occasionally and found impracticable, show ring judges having found from experience they are able to arrive at their decisions with much greater consistency by fol- lowing the comparison method. LEE II. Another much mooted question at the present time is that regarding a change in the rules, providing for separate competi- tion for winners' honors in the thirteen and fifteen-inch classes. A hound of the larger size has a correspondingly greater op- portunity to develop to conform to the standard than his smaller competitor. Yet as the rules now stand, the smaller hound, while he may have attained the utmost development according to the standard for his inches, must compete with those of the larger size. The result of this is that it becomes very difficult for one of the smaller size to attain winners' honors in the shows, es- pecially the larger ones, and complete a show championship record. The necessary result of this condition is a very light entry, usually, in the thirteen-inch classes. The Beagle in America 31 Since the rules recognize the two sizes by making provision for classes for each, and each size has its admirers, it appears to be an injustice to the smaller hounds to require them to compete for winners with those of the fifteen-inch size. The principal field of usefulness of a show to the breed is to bring to the atten- tion of its followers of any breed or class the better dogs for their guidance in breeding. As the rules now stand, and because of them, breeders are deprived of this advantage, due to the realization of exhibitors of the futility of entering their thirteen- inch hounds in competition for winners. It seems highly de- sirable that a change in the rules be made providing for separate competition of the sizes. This would result in increase of entries of the smaller hounds, and the larger shows would be enabled to serve their field of usefulness to the breed by bringing to the attention of breeders, for their guidance, the better hounds of the smaller size, through the show championship records, in- cluding wins in the best, shows, which would then be possible of completion. In yet another respect, there is room for improvement in the bench show classifications for beagles. Probably the majority of the admirers of the breed are sportsmen who, while desiring to have their hounds of good type, find their chief pleasure with them afield. The only way in the generally prevailing classifica- tions by Avhich the outstanding type dogs are indicated is the show championship records, made through wins in the so-called regular classes. A hound enters in these, perhaps first as a puppy, but at any rate in his early matured years, and generally achieves the honor of becoming a show champion at an early age. Before a field trial beagle has won his way to distinction in the field trials he has been hunted and competed in the trials for, in most instances, several seasons. Again, the shows are generally held during the winter and spring following the field trial and hunting season. The necessary result is that while a hound, whether of blood lines or individual qualities rendering him suitable as a sire of desirable field stock, or not, may enter the show ring for com- petition for winners' honors in his prime, and may to keep him at his best in appearance, not have been allowed the experience of his hunting contemporaries of hard work afield in the brush and briars, the latter, when they have by competition in field trial events proved their accomplishments as field dogs, are gen- erally of more advanced years, and almost always, more or less scarred and roughened by their work afield. 32 The Beagle in America When, if entered by their owners for competition in the show ring, after they have proved their title afield, for the purpose of affording admirers of the breed the benefit of the decision of the judges as to their relative merits in type, they find themselves, if in the regular classes, in competition in most instances with dogs of younger age and free from marks of hard usage afield. It is urged, therefore, that in the show classifications, there should be provided classes providing for competition for best of imp. windholme's demon type in sex, that is, best type dog and best type bitch, and reserve to each, among the entries in the field trial classes, entries in which are limited to dogs placed in recognized field trial events. With such a classification, shows would come much nearer to The Beagle in America 33 serving their principal field of usefulness in pointing out among the hounds which are of proven merit afield, for the guidance of breeders who are attempting to breed to the standard, those which are the best in type of their sex, than under the classifica- tions generally used, which with the exception of the show of the National Beagle Club of America, which offers a special for the best in type of the entries in the field trials, and perhaps one or two others, offer no opportunity for competition for best of type among hounds of proven field quality. With scarcity of importations and crossing in of mixed blood. original beagle stock brought to America had in time undergone marked deterioration in type, to the extent that dogs of general hound type which could run a rabbit were called rabbit dogs or beagle hounds, indiscriminately. In the late seventies, we have the first account of importations which are the foundation of the greater part of the best strains in America at the present time, the so-called Rowetts, of which the first appear to have been Warrior and Sam, .imported by Mr. C. H. Turner, and Dolly, imported by Gen. Richard Rowett. Ringwood, a dog of excellent quality, was imported by Mr. Norman Elmore about the same time. These dogs found immediate favor with admirers of a hound of good type and field quality, and with their progeny were shown extensively, resulting in an immediate quickening of in- terest in both type and field quality. With the formation of the American-English Beagle Club in 1884, show clubs extended their recognition of the breed by offering more generous classi- fications and special prizes. The attention of breeders was more and more directed to breeding to the standard, and marked in- crease of beagles of improved type and quality was noticeable in the shows. Very soon the former and generally accepted idea that anything which resembled a hound at all and could run a rabbit was a beagle became dispelled, and the beagle began to come into its own. It is and will be a matter of lasting regret that the breeding of these first importations was never preserved, but the many attempts to do so made with the passing of the years by those interested have been unsuccessful. It is, however, of great in- terest at this time to know the type and general conformation of this strain, viewing which in the illustration of Trailer pre- sented, it is easy to see why this strain at once found favor in the eyes of admirers of a good hound, and laid the foundations of the best strains of later days as it did. The Beagle in America 35 Another illustration found also in the press is the dog Cameron's Racket, sire of Trailer, another noted Rowett of later generation, but of the early days, both made from photographs of the subject, and so nearly alike in conformation that with the markings placed the same on each they could scarcely be told apart. Trailer was scored in a show judged by Norman Elmore, WHELPED MAY 2,1883. held at Newark, New Jersey, in the early eighties. Mr. Elmore, already noted as the importer of Ringwood, and as familiar with the Rowett strain as any man of his time, scored him ninety- eight points according to the standard, from which we may safely take it that this dog was an excellent representative of the Rowett strain and type. Gen. Rowett appears from the records of the times to have been one of the most active exhibitors of that strain, but when he was gathered to his fathers, the mantle fell on able shoulders when the most of his stock went to Mr. Pottinger Dorsey of New Market, Md., and Mr. C. Staley Doub, of Frederick, Md. They carried on his work very successfully, and to their efforts jO The Beagle in America we are indebted for the well known Lee strain, Triumph, Wan- derer, Welcome, Harker, Hooker and many other of the best dogs of their day. These gentlemen were sportsmen of the true type, with entire absence of mercenary motive, and always striving for their ideal in their breeding operations. The word of Mr. Dorsey upon a dog was as good as his bond, and he took the pride of an artist in the result of his efforts. His death in the field, with his friends and among his favorites, removed from the ranks of devotees of the beagle one of the men most responsible for its subsequent success, but his high ideals and sportsmanlike qualities have left to succeeding generations a standard of equal value for their emulation. Mr. Doub, his contemporary and lifelong friend, who still hunts his splendidly broken and level and attractive pack three times weekly, and to whose interest, as a preserver of everything of interest in the breed through the years, we are indebted for much of the ma- terial presented, has the unique record of never having charged a stud fee, never sold a dog, and never killed a rabbit, perhaps a little on the extreme order for those of us* who like to see a rabbit roll over to the crack of the nitro after a good drive by the hounds, but one worthy of consideration by those with re- gard mainly to the size of a day's bag. Another strain of prominence in the early days, and which by reason of the long life granted its breeder, Mr. Hiram Lard, now past seventy years of age, of Elora, Canada, has been kept the most distinct of any, is the Blue Cap strain. At the founda- tion of this strain we find the blood of the blue ticked strain. Imp. Blue Cap and Imp. Blue Bell, imported by Capt. William Assheton, of Virginia, a fancier of the earlier days, from the kennels of Sir A. Ashburnham. of England. These were sire and dam of the dog known as Card's Blue Cap, figuring in the pedigrees of dogs of that strain, which was crossed on dams of the Rowett blood, and with the Bannerman blood. Back some places will even be found Dyke, one of the so-called bench- legged beagles, obtained from Maryland breeders, and yet, ac- cording to authentic information from Mr. Card, being the progeny of Imp. Smart and Imp. Katy. which in turn affords substantial evidence that this type of beagle carried in its veins the blood of the fountain source of the breed. Mr. Card was always an insistent advocate of the blue ticked or mottled color, with black markings, tan trimmed, as being the only true color for a hound, for which color he bred, as he did also for field qualities and type, and from which the strain 3& The Beagle in America derives its name. They have always been noted as excellent field dogs of good type, and with keen noses and good voices, and in type, as a strain, are said by Mr. Card to have been of the same general style and conformation as the Rowetts, of which they carried the blood in large proportion. Still another pioneer breeder, better known in the West, was Edward Marshall, of Dowagiac, Mich., whose demise was a close parallel with that of Mr. Dorsey, being found by a friend in his last sleep in the yard among his favorites. Rugged and rough as the oak, but as sterling in quality and integrity, one whose word was always good and who stood ever ready to come to the aid of the novice with invaluable advice, and found his chief WANDERER pleasure from his activities as a breeder in results accomplished, rather than the financial returns, he left a memory which his friends will always hold in affectionate recollection. The foundation of his strain was the Rowett blood, and in the pedi- grees of those he bred in the early days will be found the first importations and many of their descendants. The Beagle in America 39 In common with other pioneers of the breed, he bred as well for type as field quality, and in the records of the shows will be found many entered under the name of Middleton Kennels, of which he was the proprietor, marked for high awards. Along with his success in breeding for type, he was very successful in developing a strain noted for clean necks and shoulders with splendid action afield and endurance and keen desire to hunt. In addition to the splendid monument the high plane on which he conducted his breeding operations affords, his greatest con- tribution to the interests of the breed consists in the fact that he was the breeder of the greatest of producing dams, Florienne, to which so many winners in the field trial events, dating from 1907, trace their lineage. ROYAL KRUEGER Another of the pioneers of the breed who has passed on since this work was undertaken was Dan Summers. Dating back to 1894, when he attended his first beagle field trial meeting, that of the National Beagle Club, where he placed his entry Lucy S second in the derby class, he has been a consistent patron of these events through the years. The records will show many placed with high honors, carrying his name as owner, among them the great Belray Brighteyes, and ending with his win with Waldingfield Bellman of second place in the great Victory Stake at the meeting of the National Club in 1919. Always a keen competitor and desirous of winning any event in which he had entries, he was nevertheless known universally among his asso- 40 The Beagle in America ciates as one who scorned any resort to any unfair or sharp practices to gain his end, and he will be greatly missed by his associates of so many years, who appreciated him as the true sportsman they always found him. Champion Bannerman, imported by Dr. L. H. Twaddell, for Mr. Lewis Sloan, of Philadelphia, along about 1884, is another dog which exercised a great influence on the breed at that time. Of the smaller size himself, and coming from a pack of the smaller size, he was used by many in the effort to reduce the size of the breed, but when his decidedly defective head is con- sidered, it is fortunate for the breed that on account of his tendency to sire puppies with a preponderance of white, many breeders abstained from using him. He must be given credit, however, for producing some very good dogs on certain crosses, and among them was Jack Bannerman, a dog of beautiful voice as well as good held quality, mentioned as having been used by Mr. Card in the development of his Blue Cap strain. Another importation of great influence was that of Chimer, imported by Mr. Diffendoeffer, of Pennsylvania. This dog ap- pears to have been used extensively with bitches of the Rowett strain, combined with the blood of Mr. Elmore's dogs, to which may be traced the field properties of the noted Lady Novice. One of the get of this dog was the successful matron, Spinaway, two of whose sons, Fashion and Ch. Robino II, were the show leaders of their day, the latter, especially, having a very remark- able show record. As already noted, the first organized movement in the interest of improvement of the breed was the formation of the American- English Beagle Club, in 1884, which later changed its name to the American Beagle Club. Its first President was Mr. W. H. Ashburner, of Philadelphia, and its Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. F. W. Wheaton, of Wilkesbarre, Penna. We find the committee selected to draft the standard adopted at that time consisted of Dr. L. H. Twaddell, of Philadelphia, and the two pioneer im- porters, Gen. Richard Rowett, of Carlinville, 111., and Mr. Norman Elmore, of Granby, Conn. The activities of this organization resulted in large increases from year to year in the beagle classes at the various shows, and among the names of owners and exhibitors of the period it continued its individual organization, as later explained, we find the well known names of Dr. J. W. Downer, Gen. F. A. Bond, Capt. Wm. Assheton, Colin Cameron, George Pownell, J. N. Dodge, George Peters, Pottinger Dorsey, A. C. Kreuger, Dan H. W. PRENTICE E. E. WHITE WESTERN BEAGLE CLUB, 1904 The Beagle in America O'Shea, William L. Crittenden, Prof. W. A. Legare, and many others. Because of scattered membership and lack of acquaint- ance of members, with no annual meeting to draw them together, however, the organization appears to have lost rather than picked up headway. But it was kept existent and an active factor, nevertheless, by the diligence of its last President, Mr. H. F. Schellhass, of New York. The effort of the American Beagle Club had been along the line of improvement of the breed in type for show purposes, and it served its purpose well, bringing the breed from a position of obscurity to one well recognized among the standardized breeds of the times, and its pioneer endeavors along this line must be accorded the full meas- ure of appreciation accordingly by its beneficiaries of the present day. BELRAY BUGLER In 1890 the National Beagle Club was formed, having for its object the holding of field trial events for the improvement of field qualities, as well as improvement in type. Making applica- tion as a specialty club for admission to the American Kennel Club, it was at first refused admission because of the refusal of the American Beagle Club, successor to the American-English Beagle Club, standing as the parent club of the breed in the organization, to sanction its admission. The men behind the new club, however, went ahead with their plans, and in 1891 The Beagle in America 43 the American Beagle Club was merged with the National Beagle Club, which then changed its name to The National Beagle Club of America, which it has since retained. It was then admitted to membership in the American Kennel Club, and has since stood as the parent club of the breed. Organized as a specialty club for the improvement of the breed, and committed to improvement of the beagle on the bench as well as in the field, it is interesting to note in an account of its operations, prior to its admission to the American Kennel Club, that a proposal was submitted to strike from its constitu- tion reference to improvement on the bench, thus making it a YANKEE BEX field trial organization only. Its President, however, appears to have voiced the sentiments of the membership in the emphatic statement he made at that time, "The National Beagle Club has nothing to take back. This club was formed for the improve- ment in the field and on the bench of the beagle hound in America, and will enter the American Kennel Club with its con- stitution unchanged, if it enters at all." Through the years since, the National Beagle Club of America has stood and worked for its declaration of purposes expressed in its constitution, Sevoted both to improvement in the field and 44 The Beagle in America on the bench, and standing as the parent club since that time, it has surely done its work well. With entire unselfishness of purpose, its consent has been promptly forthcoming to the formation of new clubs seeking its consent from time to time to hold licensed events and acquire membership in the American Kennel Club. Its show events have come to be recognized as one of the two leading shows of the year, while its field trial events have always stood at the head of the list in point of en- tries and interest shown. The standard of field work required under its running rules and the judges selected has been of the highest, and a win in its events appreciated and rated accord- ingly. One of its efforts in the way of improvement in type in the early days of the nineties is shown in its Produce Stakes offered as an annual event at the annual show of the Westminster Kennel Club at New York, its advertisement of which is here reproduced.

The Beagle in America 45 With the early nineties came into prominence the well known Frank Forest, a line bred Rowett on the side of the sire, Riot, and on the side of his dam. Skip, being a double grandson of the dog Victor, a son of Rattler and Lady Bird II, litter brother and sister imported from England, and bred in the kennels of Sir A. Ashburnham. He was bred by the well known George F. Reed, known to his intimates as Canada Gray, and until the present year, and dating from the earliest days of the National Beagle Club, was one of its active and most valued members. This dog was sold first to Mr. Arthur Parry, of Linden, Mass., and latter passed into the ownership of Mr. H. L. Kreuder, and iwell handled by these gentlemen, was bred to extensively and CH. FRANK FOREST proved one of the outstanding sires of his time. Mated with Sue Forest, said on good authority to have been imported, although her breeding was never published, Frank Forest sired the winner, Champion Clyde, among others, which mated with Lady Novice produced a winning family of the highest quality, which for many years seldom if ever failed of having one of its members recorded as a winner in the events of the New England Beagle Club. Another noted importation of the earlier days was Lonely and 46 The Beagle in America three of her sons by Ringwood. She was of unusually good type, expression and color, and made a brilliant record on the bench both in England and after coming to America, although she was brought here after passing her prime. It is said by the writers of the times to have been a great mystery that her three sons should have been so long coupled, coming from a dam of so much merit. Their "descendants, however, overcame this fault to some extent, as among them we find later on Robino II, a noted winner of excellent hound character and rich coloring. Field trials in the nineties not having effected the later demon- stration of the feasibility of breeding a beagle of good combined type and field qualities, at least in the estimation of many beagle men, there was considerable scoffing at the show bred dogs by writers in the press of those days. This seems to have resulted in the decision of the late Mr. James L. Kernochan to demon- strate the possibility of bringing out beagles of desirable quality from both view points, and about 1896, he began the importation of hounds from the English hunting packs, of type according to the American standard. The efforts of Mr. Kernochan cannot be too highly valued, for the dogs imported and bred by him from them have proved of great and lasting value to the breed, both in the field and on the bench. Among them and their descendants we find Florist, Oronsay Matron, Leader III, and Trueman of the Middlesex Reagles, Hector and Flossie of the Somerset Beagles, Fiddler of the Round Plains Beagles, Nassau Fabian, a first place winner at the National club's trials and a field trial champion, and many others, including also the two producing sons of Florist, Sir Florist and Sir Florist Boy, the latter also a field trial champion by virtue of two wins at the New England club and one at the National club. The two last mentioned carry on the side of their dam, Wyomissing Flossie, a combination, going back to the fifth generation, of the blood of the Rowetts and Imp. Florist, with one cross of the Bannerman blood in the fourth generation on the side of the dam. An examination of the appended tables will disclose among the winners many carrying the blood of this noted cross, and when, turning to the pedigrees of the progeny of Hempfield Little Dandy and Florienne in subsequent years, we find largely the same combination of blood lines in that suc- cessful cross, and many winners carrying their blood, the fact is conclusively demonstrated that the proper crossing of these strains has produced a very large proportion of the best field dogs, past and present. The Beagle in America 47 The interest of the beagle men of the early days was as keen in the show ring- as in the field trial events. George F. Reed, who was one of the most active and successful breeders and participants in the field trials, gives the best illustration of their great interest in shows, in a letter written his friend Mr. Doub, after the New York Show in 1897, and lest it lose some of its interest in the telling, we will give it in Mr. Reed's own words: POTOMAC "Now Post asked for dogs for Special No. 1. In comes Thorn- wood, Truman, Hector, Florist, Ring Leader, Roy K and Frank Forest. Ringleader had already beat Frank and Roy K. Lonely II, Oronsay Matron and old Champion Lonely, and the fun went on. Now. boys, I was ready. for this procession. I was with Flarker five minutes before they were called, and Old Bill (William Saxby), was to come to the bench when they wanted him and let me know. I had the rough hair on his shoulder flat, Hre&SI ■ *"W-**v? ; ••• -> - \." ; "■ f-jsfJ&J, NATIONAL BEAGLE CLUB SPECIALTY SHOW — IQIQ The Beagle in America 4Q the rest of the body and coat I let alone. I took off his collar and put on a small but firm fish line, as I have noticed a collar presses the skin back, making his shoulders look loaded. You could not see the cord. It was under the hair, and I then snapped a chain on the cord ; so here we all go around the ring for ten minutes. Lonely II bothered Harker, as he could smell her as she was in heat. The first ones to go into the corner were Hector, Frank, Roy K, Truman, then old Lonely, then Thornwood and Robino, then Matron. This left Ringleader, Florist and Harker. Then, dear old Pard, I needed all my nerve, for I could hear and feel my heart beat. Post ordered us to the bench in the middle of the ring. First Harker on the left, then Florist and Ringleader, then I reached down and unsnapped the chain from the cord and dear old Harker stood like a statue, legs well under him, brush carried gaily. First Post looked Ringleader over, then Florist, then he told the great Joe Lewis with his great Ringleader to take Ringleader to the corner with the rest. Staley. I did not dare look up or away from Harker for fear I would smile. Now he takes Harker and the dear old boy stood up like a major. I snapped the chain on the collar and gave him a run across the ring to show his motion and back on the bench, and boys, I done my level best. I drew my hand down over the fore leg to feet, for I knew if Post looked at his feet I could beat Florist there. I had a small piece of Vermont horse hoof in my hand and Harker knew it was there. At last Mr. Post awarded me the ribbon enclosed in this letter, and it was over. My hand trembles now to think of it. The feat had been accomplished. Harker had won over the four cracks, Ringleader, Lonely, Frank Forest and Roy K. All the boys clapped their hands ; the first to congratulate me by shaking- hands was Mr. Kernochan, and on leaving the ring, I raised my hat to the bunch. It took me some time to put on his collar, for the tears were running like the devil, boys, and I felt good. Staley, you say you boys felt good. Do you think you can imagine my feelings? No, I know you can't half. Think what I had been through since I saw Harker was in the wrong class. I had made this victory for' my dear Maryland friends, not for myself, and dear old Maryland friends, if it has given you boys any pleasure I am glad, for first among my heart friends are you boys. "Mr Kernochan is a pure gentleman and a sportsman. He did all he could to make it pleasant for old Bill and myself and all the others. He felt sorrv for me because Harker was out TO The Beagle in America and even went to Mr. Mortimer to intercede to have him transferred." One of the early and successful exhibitors in the ring, and who still successfully maintains his activity there, is Mr. George B. Post of New York, a member of the National Beagle Club of America since the early nineties. Pictures of his more noted dogs, doing a very considerable part of the show winnings in the late early eighties and early nineties are shown in those of HARKER Ch. Storm, Ch. Cloud, Potomac, Ch. Belle of Woodbrook, and Goodwood Rattler. Of these, Storm, Cloud and Potomac were full bred Rowetts, purchased from Mr. Dorsey, and sired by his famous Lee from his Countess, the principal part of the winnings of these dogs being: divided between Belle of Woodbrook and The Beagle in America 5i Cloud. They were dogs with straight fronts and good legs and feet which could win upon the bench in strong competition at the present time. Mr. Post has also been an importer of a considerable number of hounds from England at various times, in the consistent effort he has made for the improvement of the breed, two of the more notable instances being Ch. Imp. Clasper and Ch. Somerset Watchman. Clasper is said by competent critics to have been one of the best type dogs ever shown in the ring in America, and immediately won his championship honors in the largest BELLE OF WOODBROOK shows and against the strongest competition. Watchman also took high honors in the field during his career, and the blood of both these dogs will be found in many of the winners in the field, as well as in the show ring. Mr. Post and Mr. James W. Appleton were among the first to import English stock, and were followed closely in point of time by the Rockridge Kennels, owned by Mr. Rockefeller, by Mr. H. T. Peters, of the Windholme Kennels, and by Mr. James L. Kernochan, previously mentioned. Following these gentle- men were Mr. Harry C. Phipps, of the Wheatley Kennels, Mr. Elliot C. Cowdin of the Domino Beagles, Mr. Gambrill of the 52 The Beagle in America Vernon Place Beagles, Mr. E. S. Reynal of the Reynal Beagles, Mr. Arthur Burden, of the Ragdale Beagles, Mrs. ChaJloner of the Fairfield Beagles, and Mr. Haggin, of the Mt. Brilliant Beagles. All those mentioned have been importers and success- ful breeders, and have brought out the best show hounds we have had. A number of the more noted hounds in the ring during the last fourteen years have been those imported by Mr. Harry C. Phipps, and those bred from them in his Wheatley Kennels. His first importation of note was Lasher, in 1907, followed by Chorister in 1911, Councillor in 1913 and Stoke Place Sapper in 1915. Perhaps of as much or more importance than any of his other importations was that of Frantic, in 1910, which was the producer of many noted winners, including Wheatley Chancellor. Wheatley Faithlessness, Wheatley Comedy and Wheatley Countess, and now numbering among her direct descendants also Wheatley Comet, Wheatley Costly, Wheatley Truant, Fannhall Merrymaid, the last two now show champions, and a number of others. It is noteworthy of her, also, that her blood will be found strong in many of the more prominent winners in the field. Another importer of the period since 1900 was Mr. Raymond Belmont, of the Belray Beagles, bis Belray Cora being perhaps the best known and having proved a heavy winner on the bench, and also having been placed twice in the events of the National Beagle Club's field trials. Ch. Folly, a litter sister of Ch. Frantic, and Ch. Fairy, were also importations of Mr. Post, and among the better known importations in the smaller hounds were Marvel, from the Thorp Satchville pack, and Lonely and Hotspur from the same pack, as is also Mr. Reynal's best known hound, Belle Maid. In more recent years the principal winnings in the larger shows, those at New York of the Westminster Kennel Club and of the National Beagle Club of America have been those of the Wheatley, Somerset and Belray kennels in the fif- teen-inch classes, and in the thirteen-inch classes, the Walding- field and Reynal hounds have taken a prominent place. The entry lists of the later and larger shows immediately preceding the writing of this article have been rather light, although marked by excellent quality. The reason for this is found in the fact that with the entry of America into the World War, several of the heavier breeders and importers, Mr. Apple- ton, Mr. Phipps, Mr. Cowdin. Mr. Iselin, and Mr. Reynal and Mr. Edward H. Carle, his neighbor and associate, joined the J. V. BURTON, WITH F. T. CH. ROCK CITY PRINCESS 54 The Beagle in America forces of democracy and put on the uniform of their country and remained in the service for many months, during which time their kennel activities have been at a standstill. Free now to resume them, however, visits to their kennels show many promising young hounds under development, and with Mr. Post now in England in quest of desirable stock, and others planning similar operations, we may confidently look forward to the goodwood's rattler pleasure at no distant time of again viewing the result of their efforts, in large numbers as before, in the show ring. Coming now to an account of the institution of beagle field trials, beginning with the first event of the National Beagle Club, held in 1890, and their subsequent growth in the estima- tion and favor of sportsmen, along with their influence on the breed, it will be proper first, for a better understanding, on the part of admirers of the beagle who have never attended a beagle The Beagle in America 55 field trial, of what follows, to give an account of the practical workings of such an organization and the way in which such events are conducted. In a general way, aside from the special events, such as breed- ers' futurity stakes, and other special events later referred to, the club arranges its program of events, consisting of open classes, or all age classes, so called, open to dogs of any age, and derby classes, open to puppies whelped on or after January 1st of the preceding year, and as the trials are held in the late fall, such puppies may be up to the age of about twenty-two months at that season. These classes are divided again, or may be, both by sex and size, and under the latter, into those, as trials are conducted nowadays, thirteen inches and under, and those over thirteen and not over fifteen inches in height, the latter, of course, being the limit under the standard. With some of the clubs, notably the National Beagle Club of America, entries are required to be made a certain number of days in advance, accompanied by the forfeit or first payment, the second and final payment to be made when the classes are run. With the majority of the clubs, however, the entries are what are termed post entries, that is, the entry may be made and the fee paid at the time of the running of the trials. With the National club, it is permissible to make a post entry, by paying a somewhat larger fee than the combined first and second payments. Whether post entries or otherwise, the fees are all payable by the time of the measuring and drawing, at which time the owners hand in the names of their starters for the dif- ferent stakes. The club from the entry fees and members' dues pays the purses offered and finances the other expenses of the meeting. When the entries have been made, they are measured by an official or committee of the club, to see that they are within the conditions as to size of the particular class. Should one fail to so measure, it must be transferred to its proper class according to size, but if entered in the class for those over thirteen and not over fifteen inches, if it measures more than fifteen inches in height, it is outside the standard, and therefore not eligible in competition. With most clubs, however, because of the ad- vantage in speed the larger size has over the smaller, it is cus- tomary, should one entered in the class for those thirteen inches and under, be found to measure over thirteen inches, to allow the owner the privilege if he desires of withdrawing his entry. Much closer measurement of entries has been observed in the 56 The Beagle in America later years, and in order that the status of a field trial beagle as to size, after it has attained maturity, may be fixed, some of the clubs have already, and most no doubt will soon, adopt a rule that when one has been measured after it is two years old, and passed as being of a certain size, it will thereafter be eligible to compete in events of that club for beagles of that size, without re-measurement, except in event of a protest being made, in which case it must be re-measured. Following the measuring, the name of each entry is written BOWMAN on a separate slip of paper, all slips then being well shaken in a box or hat, and drawn out, two at a time. Each two dogs so drawn stand as a brace to be run together in the stake, in the first series, in which, also, the braces are run in the order in which they are drawn. Should it happen that two owned by the same owner or to be handled by the same handler are drawn together, the last name drawn is laid aside, and drawing con- The Beagle in America 57 tinued until one is drawn not so owned or handled, as bracemate for the first one, then a bracemate is drawn for the one laid aside. Should there be an odd number of entries, the last one out is what is termed the bye dog, for which the judges select a bracemate after the other braces have been run. The drawing is made in this manner, and the braces run as told, in order to eliminate any possibility of favoritism in giving one dog a better bracemate, or any one brace a more favorable time of day to run than another, and since acquaintance of one dog with its bracemate's manner of working would give an ad- vantage to a brace owned or handled by the same man, in comparison with another brace strange to each other, the draw- ing is also so conducted as to do away with that and leave all entries to work with strange bracemates. The club having selected grounds with a view to a plentiful supply of game, the judges and handlers and spectators then proceed to the running grounds, where the braces are run, one at a time, and in the order in which they are drawn. When the braces have all run, if there is a bye dog, the judges select from the others a bracemate for it, but what work the bracemate does in this instance does not count in its favor, because it has already had its opportunity with its regular bracemate. The braces are cast loose and started hunting for game in charge of their handlers, with the judges following closely to watch and pass on their work. A marshal is or should be pro- vided by the club, one who is acquainted with the grounds, but one of whose principal duties it should be to see that spectators or other owners and handlers do not crowd so closely on the dogs at any time as to interfere with their work. Should the brace under judgment or one of them start a rabbit, they are followed by the handlers and judges with spectators or others at a proper distance. While they are searching, if a rabbit is started by anyone, the fact is reported to the judges, who if they desire to expedite the work of seeing and judging the brace on game, may direct the handlers to bring their dogs in and work them on the one started. If a rabbit is seen sitting, and the judges desire to see the dogs worked on it, they so direct the handlers, and after the rabbit has been jumped, the brace is given an opportunity to take up the trail. When the various braces and the bye dog, if there be one, have all been given an opportunity to show their worth, the judges after consultation, eliminate those which in their opinion have not shown sufficient ability to warrant carrying them fur- ■ ■ , 7« *t< - The Beagle in America 59 ther, and announce which are to run in the second series, in doing which, they brace those carried on as they see fit. There may be a third, or even a fourth series, so conducted, before the judges reach a decision. It must not be understood from this KISHWAUKEE COLONEL that the work of each brace stands as a race, with the loser eliminated, because the system is what may be termed the spot- ting out system. Both of several braces may go into a subse- 6o The Beagle in America quent series, and it is the all around work of the different entries, through the stake as a whole, which determines the order in which the judges place them. In addition to the classes for single dogs, there are also offered at the National club and some others, classes for packs of two. four or more couples. Most of these are on field work only, but in some of the pack classes at the National club the competition is on a combination of field quality and type, each counting in arriving at the decision. In the pack stakes, it is the work of the dogs as a pack, and not that of any individual dog which is judged and upon the basis of which the awards are made. In some of the clubs there are also offered classes in which the entries are all run at the same time for a period of several hours' duration as a pack, as nearly as it is possible to keep them together. These events are always all age events, or open classes, and if run under conditions complying with the rules of the American Kennel Club, the starters in them stand as open class starters, and are counted in making up the championship points going with a first place win under the rule in force, as open class starters. The work of the entries, however, in these events, is judged by the same standards as in the classes run by braces, that is, it is individual work, and not pack work, done, which guides the judges in arriving at their decisions. It is of interest at this point to show the rules of the American Kennel Club under which field trials are conducted, and which govern the making of a field trial beagle's championship record, and which are, accordingly, here given, as the rules stand at this time. Rule V. All beagles must be measured by the standards of the National Beagle Club before starting, and if incorrectly entered must be transferred to their proper classes. Classes when divided by height must be divided as follows: Over thirteen inches and not exceeding fifteen inches, and thir- teen inches and under, and hounds can only compete in classes for their respective heights. Rule VI. The total number of points required to entitle any beagle to a field championship is ten (10). One win must be made at a field trial that is rated three (3) points or over, and only one win of a hound can be recognized at any field trial toward a championship. The Beagle in America 61 All beagle trials must be rated on the actual number of start- ers in the open classes, namely, fifteen-inch dogs and fifteen-inch bitches, thirteen-inch dogs and thirteen-inch bitches ; or if any of these classes are combined, a class may be substituted for dogs and bitches fifteen inches and under, to be run as a pack for not less than eight hours ; the entrance fee to be not less than 50 per cent in excess of entrance fee of other open classes HOOKER for each hound. Derby Stakes and Pack Stakes are not open classes. (1) Beagle Trials to be rated as follows: Fifty starters and over, five points ; Forty starters and under fifty, four points ; Thirty starters and under forty, three points ; Twenty starters, and under thirty, two points ; Under twenty starters, one point. This rule has been in force during the years 1918 and 1919, and governs field trials held during those years. Prior to 1918, the rule stood from and including 1907 without the second para- 62 The Beagle in America graph of Rule VI. During that time, several clubs held events in which the entries were run as a pack for a stake of several hours' duration. The starters in some of such events, and dur- ing those years, counted as open class starters in determining the number of points going with a first place win, and a first place win in them in a championship record. But owing to the possibility under the rule as it then stood TONY WELLER of the same entry, perhaps, winning first place, both in an open class run by braces, and in a stake run as a pack, where the total number of starters at the meeting was fifty or over, and so winning a championship at one meeting, the rule was changed by the addition of the second paragraph of Rule VI as it now stands. Therefore unless classes in 1918 and 1919 were arranged and their conditions were in accordance with the rule as it now The Beagle in America 63 stands, starters in them do not count in making up the cham- pionship rating of the meeting, neither do wins in them count in an entry's field trial championship record. In the appendix will be found a list of the different beagle field trial champions, with their records, which should be con- sidered in connection with the rules in force from time to time governing field trial championships. At the first meeting of the National Beagle Club, an all age absolute stake, so called, was offered, to which were eligible, first place winners in the other classes. Following this, the first beagle field trial held, cham- pionship classes were offered, open to winners of first place in the particular event or preceding events. With the scarcity of clubs and first place winners, it will be seen from the tables that the competition was very light in point of numbers in the earlier years. This condition resulted in a realization about 1900 of the necessity for a change in the system of creating champions, due to conditions so well shown in a letter of Mr. George F. Reed, published about that time, that it is here re-produced : "I hope the article in the American Field of July 30th in regard to a change of ruling in regard to the Championship Stake of our Beagle Trials will be carefully read and answered by a majority of those who have attended our beagle trials. I agree that it would be a higher honor for a dog to come back the second year and win above all others than it would be to have him win the class by a walkover. I would limit the stake to tw r o wins in the open class instead of three, for we all know many good beagles get hurt or knocked out some way in three seasons of hunting. The article brings to mind that I owe many letters about certain dogs that have won first in the open class that have never yet started in the champion class and with your permission I would like to answer all these through the Ameri- can Field. "In 1895 Triumph, owned by Mr. C. Staley Doub, a gentleman who breeds beagles only for his own pleasure and to present to his friends, won the all-age class for dogs and bitches over thirteen inches. There was no other dog eligible to start in the champion stake and Mr. Doub would not accept such empty championship honors. In 1898 Splitter, a daughter of Triumph, owned by my son, was awarded the same class prize that her dam had won in 1895, but as there was not a dog on the grounds to compete against her she did not start. "In 1899 Scorcher won this same class. She belonged to me, &/ The Beagle in America having been presented to me by my friend Mr. Doub. In her run with Dahlia she ran against a fence stake and was so lame the next day she could not start in the champion class. "I brought Splitter to those trials in 1899 to start in the cham- pionship stake. She came in season and according to the run- ning rules was not allowed on the grounds. These are the reasons why the three never have run in the champion class. "The rules of the New England Beagle Club allow of a walk- ox er in the champion class. Let us suppose a stake of only three starters in the all-age class, the winner of which would have a TRIUMPH walkover in the champion class and ever after must be called a champion. Now let us say that a dog starts in the National Trials in open class where there are twelve starters and wins 2d money; this dog then goes to the Central Club and there wins 1st money in a class of ten starters, but there are no dogs at these trials eligible to run against him in the champion stake, so he cannot start and is returned home after having L. F. WHITMAN OF AMERICAN FIELD AND RENO B. COLE 66 The Beagle in America beaten nineteen other first-class dogs. Next year he is sent to the National Trials, but must, according to their rules, start only in the champion class, but the owner of the winner in the open class will not run his dog in the champion class and so the dog that has proven himself really a champion by defeating nineteen others, and is ready to start in the champion class next year, has to be returned home without his honors. What is the result? This is his last appearance at the field trials. He is not a champion, but the dog that has defeated only two others is one. "At the National Trials of 1898 there were six dogs eligible to run in the champion class, the Only time at any field trials where there has been that number. These dogs were Pilot, Trick, Buckshot, Panic, Belle S and Splitter, and there would have been a chance to see a good race, but the stake was declared off because it did not fill. "I am in favor of giving up the championship stake at all field trials and in favor of having two wins in the open class count instead of three, and these wins not to bar from starting in the open class in any future trials."' The result was an agreement entered into by the three then existing clubs, the National, New England and Central, to recog- nize as a field trial champion any winner of two first places in open or all age class events, whether won at the trials of one club or another or others. This rule continued in force up to the end of 1906, at which time, due to the general feeling that beagle field trial championships were becoming so easy of acquisition as to lessen the value which should attach to the title, the National club took action to put into effect a point rating system, somewhat on the plan of the one now in force. Up to that time the American Kennel Club had never as- sumed jurisdiction of beagle field trial championships, but in 1907 it adopted the rule now in force, with the later change noted, so that beginning with 1907, all beagle field trial cham- pionship records have been made under the point system shown. However, some starters had an open all age win previous to 1907, and as to such dogs, it has been ruled by the American Kennel Club that they should complete their records under the rule in force at the time they started. For this reason, if a dog had one first open or all age class win in 1906 or prior years, and made one subsequent to that time, it became a champion under the former two win rule, an illustration of which is Young Tippecanoe, winning the fifteen inch all age class at the Central trials in 1906 and in 1907. The Beagle in America 67 With the rapidly increasing numbers in recent years of field trial clubs holding meetings with a five point championship rating, we have again reached a condition similar to that exist- ing in 1906, which resulted in the change then made in the rules and for the reasons previously stated. The points going with a win depend upon the total number of open class starters in the trial giving club's open events. Under this plan, a winner of a FLORIENNE first place in an open class with only four or five starters, of which there have been numerous instances under the rules, acquires as many points as some other which may have defeated a field of eighteen or twenty starters or more at the same meet- 98 The Beagle in America ing. And if an entry acquires two wins in classes of that size in meetings having a five point rating, it may become a field trial champion by virtue of having defeated two very small classes. The necessity of an appropriate change of rules is recognized by all the field trial clubs and is now under discus- sion, which will doubtless result in a rule under which the title will depend, as it should, upon the number of starters actually defeated in competition. Viewing at this time the successful and increasing operations F. T. CH. PILOT of beagle field trial clubs and interest in their events, it seems scarcely credible that with the announcement of the Xational Beagle Club in 1890 of its purpose to hold a field trial for beagles, a good many beagle fanciers of the day believed it impossible to hold such events successfully, and even ridiculed the efforts of the new organization, but such, nevertheless, is the fact. The members of the club, however, proceeded with their plans, and selected as the scene of their first meeting, Hyannis. Mass... and the date as Xovember 4th, 1890. and we read in the list of names of those present Messrs. O. \Y. Brook- ing, F. W. Chapman, Arthur Parry, F. W. Rutter. Jr.. A. W. 70 The Beagle in America Crowell, C. F. Peabody, W. A. Power, Bradford S. Turpin, W. S. Clark, H. V. Jamieson, John Peabody and Capt. Geo. P. Berry, in addition to the judges, H. W. Lacy and Joe Lewis. The proverbial luck of beginners was not with them, and it was very soon discovered the grounds were unsuitable and the game scarce. But these pioneers of the sport, undaunted as their Pilgrim forefathers, were equal to the emergency, and immediately shifted the scene of operations to Salem Depot, N. H., where their events were run off very successfully. With the demonstration thus afforded of the practicability of such F. T. CH. KISHWAUKEE MARY events, their success became assured, and the chronological tables appended show their subsequent increase and develop- ment. These pioneers necessarily had much hard work to do in pro- moting and arranging for the event, and to do it, further, under the handicaps of slight encouragement of beagle fanciers gen- erally, and the ridicule of some of them in particular. But The Beagle in America 71 backed by the courage of their convictions, and perhaps, thriv- ing on opposition, as true prophets are said to do, their initial meeting laid the solid foundation on which the subsequent superstructure of beagle field trials as an institution has been built, and to them the present day followers of beagle field trials owe a lasting debt of gratitude. In the following year, at its second annual meeting, the National Club offered in addition to the events of the year before a derby class, entries in which were limited to those one year old or under. The showing proved, as may have been ex- pected, disappointing, and in later years the age limit was changed to the one now used, with the result we now fre- quently find dogs of derby age winning in the all age classes, some of them, as shown by the records, even taking first place. The next year, 1892, marked the first appearance as a beagle field trial follower of Mr. James \V. Appleton, ever since a par- ticipant and one of the mainstays, and for a number of years the President of the National Beagle Club of America, and also Messrs. Pottinger Dorsey and C. Staley Doub, who like most beagle loving sportsmen, once coming to a field trial meeting to see for themselves, remained as active participants in its events for many years. And at the meeting of the National club in this year it is a pleasure to read in Mr. Turpin's ac- count, that although this was Mr. Dorsey's first appearance as a competing owner, the announcement by the judges of the award of the high honors, absolute winner, to his grand dog Lee II, was greeted in a most sportsmanlike manner by the hearty cheers of his competitors, a precedent, we may remark iii passing, almost universally characteristic of these meetings, ami of the spirit of high class sportsmanship there prevailing. Since the years of organization of the different clubs and the development of the sport from year to year are shown by the chronological tables in the appendix, it will suffice from this point on to make mention of such matters only generally. The Xew England Beagle Club, the second to organize, has failed to hold a meeting but three times, in 1902, 1907 and 1916. The Northwestern Beagle Club held several events in the early nineties, and after a lapse of several years, one in 1902. Its place in the West was taken then by the Western Beagle Club, successfully organized by Mr. Reno B. Cole in 1904, followed later in the West by the Buckeye Beagle Club. There will be noticed in the table some clubs which only held two or three meetings, but they are the exception which establish the rule of 72 The Beagle in America permanency of these clubs, once properly organized and with a sufficient and proper field for their activities. And at this time, in addition to the clubs shown as having held field trials in 1919 and prior years, there are four new ones in process of organi- zation, the Highland Beagle Club, having its principal member- ship and scene of operations in Ohio ; the Wolverine Beagle Club, located in Michigan ; the Sho-me Beagle Club, located in Missouri, and the Maryland Beagle Club, in that state. These clubs have been granted the necessary permission and license from the American Kennel Club for the holding of their events in the fall of 1920, and from knowledge of the thorough sports- men who are active in their affairs, we may safely predict for them the same measure of success enjoyed by their predecessors among such organizations. One of the few regrettable incidents of beagle field trials occurred at the meeting of the National Beagle Club in 1893, the much discussed Pade incident. Entered by his owner, Mr. Pottinger Dorsey, he defeated Mr. George F. Reed's Spot R in a noteworthy contest, of which Mr. Turpin remarks in his book that it has always been an enigma how a long bodied, short legged dog could show the speed he did. After the decisions had been announced, awarding first place to Pade, a protest was made, on the ground that he was not of the type called for by the standards of the club, and therefore ineligible to com- pete in its events. It was sustained by the club, and Spot R. was accordingly moved up to first place in the winners of record at the meeting. There resulted considerable controversy in the press over the matter, Mr. Dorsey expressing particular indignation over the claim made that Pade was not a pure bred beagle. In sub- stantiation of his claim he published a letter from the breeder of the dog, from whom he had purchased him, saying that Pade was a pure beagle, bred from stock imported from England. Mr. Dorsey's indignation was not lessened at all by the fact the reporter of the trials had published as a picture of Pade, what was evidently either a likeness of or very close to a daschund, and he produced from a photograph the picture of the dog here presented, showing him to be one of the bench legged type of beagles we have mentioned. In Mr. Dorsey's letter to the press regarding the matter, it is stated that his competitor, Mr. Reed, was asked to join in the protest, but declared emphatically he would have nothing to do with it "for the best farm in Rock Countv." From this The Beagle in America 73 action on the part of Mr. Reed, and the subsequent course of Mr. Dorsey, continuing his activities as a participant in the events of the club, we may well draw a lesson of lasting value to participants in beagle field trials. It must be understood that in what has been said as to the smaller competition in field trial events of the early days, there is no disposition whatever to reflect upon the work of the en- PADE tries, or to detract from the credit due them. We learn from Mr. Turpin's work that in 1898, an entry of fifty-six, outside of the packs, in the events of the National club, caused serious misgivings as to the possibility of completing the events sat- isfactorily during the week. From this it is very evident the entries of those times were given every thorough and pains- taking tests, and doubtless justified the awards of those days under competent judging, as well as at present, when we find 74 The Beagle in America during 1919 total entries in open and derby classes of more than one hundred, satisfactorily handled in the same time. The development of pack stakes, one of the most enjoyable style of events at beagle field trials, affords one very desirable field for increased activities on the part of the different clubs jwhich, aside from the National Club, up to the present have given but little, and that rather sporadic, attention to them. This condition is rather difficult to understand, in view of the high esteem in which they are held by the members of the Na- tional Beagle Club of America, with which they have been a fixture of increasing importance and numbers, since the first one given in 1897, the first in the history of the sport. While we learn from the press reports of that time such an event was an innovation, the proposal to hold which then caused much discussion of its feasibility, with the record of accomplishment of the years following before the present day generation, there should be and it is believed there is, in fact, an awakening of interest in them, and it is confidently hoped the succeeding years will show them a fixture with the principal clubs. One ot the means of stimulating interest in the breed has been the futurity or breeders' stakes, the first of which we find given by the National Club and also by the New England Club, in 1896. They were continued by these clubs for a few years and then dropped, largely because due to the fact the age of the puppies when started was the same as in the derby classes, they were to some extent a repetition of the latter. They appeared on the annual program of field trial events again, however, in 1910, when the first one, offered by the American Field Publishing Company in 1908, to be run in 1910, and called The American Field Beagle Stake, was run on the grounds of the Western Beagle Club preceding its annual field trial meeting. This stake was continued by the American Field until including the year 1915, when it was discontinued, owing to lack of interest on the part of breeders, after having been run alternately by years at the meetings of the Central and Western clubs. During the years following the discontinuance of the Ameri- can Field Beagle Stake, however, there was apparently a wish on the part of beagle fanciers for a renewal of such a stake, as with the announcement of the Western Beagle Club of its pur- pose to give a futurity stake in the fall of 1918, and to continue it upon manifestation of sufficient interest to warrant so doing, the records of that club show an increasing interest in this event P. A. PETERSON WITH AFTON S UNCLE SAM -.- The . : in each year since. For the first one. to be run in 1918, the club ! pted what might be termed post nominations of litters, that is. litters already matured, provided they were whelped on and after fan. 1st. 1917, and at the time of announcement of the etake. in the late fall of 1°L~. offered also one for the fall of ,-.i to dams bred on and after Oct 30. 1917. ubtless to many litters whelped during 1917 having by that time become scattered and their owners consequently losing interest in them as futurity stake pros] ects, there were. i otwithstanding, thirty-three matured litters nominated. The 1919 event being ottered at the same time, sixty-nine nomina- tions of completed litters were made for the 1919 stake, with twenty-five other nominations uncompleted by reason of dams not pro\ ir.g in whelp or losing their litters before time to com- plete the nomination.

And at the time this is written, the nomina- tions g received for the l°Jl stake are in numbers ahead of th - esponding time for the 1920 stake. These stakes are intended to stimulate interest in breeding. I Y divi g the pri Vered between breeders of win- ners and their owners at the time they compete in the trials.

The club charges a tixed fee for the first and second payments or. nominations, the enrollment of the litters completed, and the forfeit and starting fees mentioned, and from these sources F. T. CH. STALE Y derives the funds for the prize money offered and the expense of handling and administering the affairs oi the stakes from year to year, and the expense of its running. The prize money is divided, an equal amount to the class for those thirteen inches and under, and to the class for those over thirteen and not over fifteen inches. These sums are again divided, a certain propor- tion to the breeders of the winners, and a somewhat larger WESTERN BEAGLE CLUB SPECIALTY SHOW — I gig The Beagle in America jg proportion to the owners of the winners, and both winners' and bleeders' money are again divided into first, second, third and fourth moneys. The owner of a winning puppy, whether its breeder or not, receives the winner's share going with the win, and the breeder receives the breeder's share, so that it is possible for the same owner to receive both winner's and breeder's money, if he wins with one from a litter which he bred and nominated. The in- crease of interest in these events apparently marks them for the continued support of breeders in the territory of this club's op- erations, and apparently has not lessened interest in the derby class events. This is shown by the fact that in the fall of I'M'', the question was submitted to men usually taking part in the club's annual trials, whether in view of the fact that many of the derby prospects were also eligible to the futurity stake, and the latter, consequently, more or less a repetition of the former, it would not be advisable to drop the derby classes, but the re- sponse was emphatically in the negative. Two other special events appeared on the field trial program in 1 ( H9, in the Classic, a stake offered by the Central club, and the Victory Stake of the National Club, both being for purses of unusual size, and proved of great interest, because of this feature, new to beagle field trials, as a matter of speculation as to what effect the giving of such events would have on the sport as a whole. Prior to this time, the prize moneys offered by the different clubs have been what might be termed nominal in amount, resulting in the elimination of any taint of commercial- ization of these events. It is a matter of doubt with many sportsmen whether a continuation of such stakes is for that reason for the best interest of beagle field trials. However, it is recognized that the year 1919, following the close of the World War, was one in which many abnormal conditions ex- isted, and the events mentioned may well be regarded as a form of celebration of the termination of the war and the opportunity to resume our normal activities, and in order then, whether they are to be continued or not. With the National club, also, there arose the question if the Victory Stake 'should be continued, Avhether it would be ad- visable to drop the derby classes, because of the heavy entry in all the classes and consequent inroads upon the allotted time of the club for its meetings. At a recent discussion of the matter at a meeting of the club, the unanimity of sentiment that whether the Victory Stake should be continued or not, the derby 8o The Beagle in America classes would be continued as one of the club's fixed events, assures us that the question is in safe hands for the interest of the breed. Up to the year 1912 beagle field trial events had always been held on cottontail rabbits, although occasionally at the trials of the New England club hare had been found and used. Because of heats in the field trials being usually of the duration of per- haps half an hour's average, there was considerable discussion F. T. CH. STORM as to whether such tests afforded a satisfactory demonstration of a dog's ability from the standpoint of the endurance required for practical field work, and the contention was advanced by many hare hunters that the field trial beagle was to be found lacking, generally, in those requirements. Owners of beagles in the country where hare were found in numbers, and who were familiar with the ability of the field trial beagle to acquit itself creditably upon any kind of game, became restive under such criticisms, and in 1912 we find the Empire Beagle Club organized, and in 1914 the Northern Hare The Beagle in America 81 Club, both having country in New York where the white hare is found, as their field of operations. Both clubs have since been giving at their annual meetings a stake in which the entries are put in competition on the hare, in addition to their other events on cottontails, with the result that many of the dogs which have been placed high in the cottontail trials have gone into competition in the events held on hare and come out with high honors. From the standpoint of endurance, the field trial beagle has often demonstrated its ability to hold its own in the hardest kind of going. In 1903, at a meeting of the Southern Beagle Club, a very fine full grown red fox was donated by Col. Gentry, of Lexington, Ky., for a fox chase by the beagles present. With the spread of news of the prospective event about the country, many fox hunters appeared at the appointed time, anticipating the pleasure of a good chase with their fox hounds after the beagles had been left so far behind they could no longer follow the trail. They were, however, treated to no small disappoint- ment, for the beagle pack, made up of eleven field trial bred beagles, many of which had never scented a fox before, took up the trail, and in a fast and furious race, lasting just thirty- two minutes from the time the dogs were laid on until the kill, at which not one of the two hundred odd horsemen were present, they killed the fox with all eleven dogs in at the death. In 1908 at the meeting of the National Club, after consider- able discussion of the ability of beagles to run a fox, a pack was made up consisting of Sir Novice, Sir Florid, Sir Garnet, Sister Tigress, Blatant, Olga, Clasher, Derbywood and Noble. The fox was given a five minute start, in which he went at least half a mile, and the pack followed like seasoned fox hounds, without a let-up, gaining on the fox steadily and finally driving out of hearing of all but the riders. Sister Novice and Thorn- field Noble led the pack, but when it came to working out the puzzles Somerset Olga was always equal to the test, and after a run of just sixty-one minutes the pack had the fox caught and killed. It is said by men of long experience with beagles upon both hare and cottontail rabbits that the habits and workings of the game ahead of the dogs are much the same, except that the hare runs on much longer swings or courses and does not go to cover or ground as the rabbit does, so that, given a beagle of stamina and endurance which can and does give a good account of himself on cottontails, he will be found giving an equally 82 The Beagle in America good account of himself when turning his attention to pursuit of the hare. There is, however, undoubtedly this difference between the hare and the cottontail, that the former leaves the stronger scent, and it is consequently found the dogs after working out a check, having stronger scent to follow on the line, drive harder and tongue more freely, just as they are found to do on cotton- tails, but for shorter periods, when the rabbit has, in common parlance, become well "warmed up," and starts off for a good long swing. Let one used to hearing a pack of beagles drive rabbits get them on a hare, and he will find himself hearing them giving tongue, with the hare out of sight and several hun- dred yards ahead of them, much the same as if very close upon a rabbit or having him in sight. This is a matter entirely susceptible of what may for lack of better terminology, be termed a mechanical explanation, that the scent is naturally stronger, whether from the larger body, or foot scent from the larger foot pad of the hare, or perhaps both. James McAleer, veteran breeder, and handler and judge of beagles, tells the writer that he has hunted beagles and judged them in nine different states, and on five different va- rieties of the game, in order as to size, the so-called sand rab- bit of Texas, the smallest ; the cottontail rabbit, the Texas swamp rabbit, the mountain hare, and finally the white hare, snd that the speed with which beagles can drive them and the steadiness with which they carry the line giving tongue, and the amount of voice they give, runs in direct proportion to the size of the game. Speaking of this, he produced the foot pads of the five varieties mentioned, showing that they run in size in the order mentioned, as proof of his statement. With the passing of the years, in addition to the improvement in field work of more finished quality which has been noted, has come about a marked improvement in type, as a result of the well directed efforts of the various field trial clubs in their primary field of usefulness, the improvement of the breed. It is also noteworthy that the former generally entertained belief or the part of many beagle men that a show beagle was one thing and a field beagle another, and the two qualities could not be successfully combined, has by the results accomplished been dispelled, at least with students of the records and vanished into the mists of the past. The pioneers and first importers of dogs of note, Mr. Turner with Warrior and Sam, General Rowett with Rosy, and Mr. 84 The Beagle in America Elmore with Ringwood, while unable by reason of the lack of field trials in their day to preserve the field qualities of their dogs as a matter of record, were active exhibitors in the shows of their time, and in the accounts of both field trials and shows of the succeeding years, we find the descendants of these early importations taking high rank. The National Beagle Club of America, at its second meeting held in 1891, held a specialty show for beagles, an event which has been a fixture at their annual meetings since that time, in furtherance of the purpose expressed in its constitution, to improve the breed in both type and field qualities. The importations of the gentlemen mentioned, well selected with a view to type, as well as field qualities, as demonstrated by their records after being brought to America, both as indi- vidual performers and as producers, are coming to be more and more appreciated by beagle fanciers, who are showing an increasing interest in type as well as field performance. There is. it appears, this to be said of the difference in condi- tions existing in America and England, that with the moist cli- mate there and consequent better scenting conditions, breeders there have not been obliged to give the attention to nose in their hounds which has been necessary on the part of breeders here, where the trailing conditions are for the greater part of the year much more unfavorable. Our English friends have, there- fore, been able to concentrate their attention more on improve- ment in type, and in improvement of legs, neck and shoulders and feet in their hounds, items of the greatest importance in equipping them for the field work required of them. The com- bination of the blood lines of these hounds and their progeny, with the American bred hound developed in the item of nose, has proved a very fortunate one and resulted in the production of individuals of a high degree of excellence in both respects. Another marked difference, due to the conditions existing in the two countries, is found in the individual requirements of the sportsmen themselves. In England, with its large estates, and rights in the game and its pursuit confined to the few, attention has been centered very largely on packs and pack work, and very little on individual hound work. In America, however, with the exception of the National Beagle Club of America, numbering in its membership many proprietors of large kennels who keep sufficient hounds for the selection and makeup of packs, the membership of the field trial clubs, and the admirers of the beagle generally, is made up of men owning The Beagle in America 85 only one or two generally, and in some cases three or four hounds, with which they are privileged, under conditions pre- vailing here, to hunt in the neighborhood where they reside. This has resulted in the sportsmen here giving more attention to individual hound work, both generally and in the field trial events of the different clubs, the results of which are followed as a guide in breeding in the effort to produce hounds suitable to the individual requirements existing. GEORGE F. REED WITH HARKER AND MINNET With something like over a quarter of a century of consistent effort for improvement of the breed in the East, prior to the organization of the Western Beagle Club, the first in the West to prove permanent, the improvement in type, while steady, has been more marked in the case of the hounds there, for the obvious reason that greater room for improvement existed. The first organized activities of this club along that line began in 1908, with the holding of its first specialty show under the rules 86 The Beagle in America of the American Kennel Club. Since that time, a specialty show has been a fixed event in its annual program, and it is impos- sible for anyone not a regular attendant at its trials during the period covered by its operations, to realize the improvement in type resulting, until at the present time the interest in the show ring events is fully as keen as those in the field. And what is true of hounds in the East is true also there, that this has been effected without detracting in any way from field qualities, and the same hounds will be found taking high awards both in the show ring and in the field. This improvement, both in type and in more finished field performance, has been more noticeable since about the year 1913. In the fall of 1911, Mr. Edward S. Herancourt, of Cin- cinnati, Ohio, a lifelong admirer of hounds, attended the meet- ing of the Western Beagle Club to see his first beagle field trial, and became an instant convert. In the same fall he attended the meeting of the National Club, and there purchased of the Somerset Beagles the dog Somerset Clinker, a son of Ch. Imp. Clasper, previously mentioned. This dog was brought West, and crossed on the dams of the Hempfield Little Dandy and Florienne blood, of which there was much in that territory, pro- duced hounds of much improved type, and somewhat more on the line trailing order in the field. Results of this are shown in Ch. Afton Lady J., by Somerset Clinker and Belle Afton, the latter a several times field trial winner and show champion, and a daughter of the two men- tioned, and Rock City Princess, a field champion and daughter of Somerset Clinker from a daughter of Hempfield Little Dandy and Kate Favor, a litter sister of Florienne. The combination of these blood lines has been a very popu&r and successful one in the West, one notable instance of which is the field trial champion, Afton Goldie, one of unusual consistency, sired by Afton's Uncle Sam from Afton Queen, a litter sister of Afton Lady J. and full blood sister of Rock City Princess, in addition to a considerable number of other winners of this blood which will be noted in the tables appended. ' Unfortunately for the interest of the breed in the West, how- ever, Clinker died after being mated only a few times. Mr. Herancourt then purchased of the Wheatley Kennels the dog Wheatley Factor, a son of Imp. Lasher and Imp. Frantic. This dog was also used extensively in the West, and brought about a further improvement and interest in type, and his blood lines blended well in the matter of field quality also. We have, how- The Beagle in America 87 ever, to turn to the East for the most noteworthy instance of this combination of blood lines, in Fannhall Topsy, which be- came a field trial champion in her derby year, 1918, a most re- markable performance, and one of the few, if not the only instance of its kind, in the history of beagle field trials, and in 1919 won the great Victory Stake at the meeting of the National Club, She is a daughter of Wheatley Gambler, a son of Imp. Lasher and Wheatley Gladness, and her sire, therefore, a half brother of Wheatley Factor, and her dam, Tempest 11, is a daughter of Hempfield Little Dandy and Kate Favor, litter sister of Florienne. i .^jr ■y p «n. ^B 9 W''-- -': ' '':'i:'.i-/-tj - JAMES MC ALEER WITH CHAMPION FREELAND It is unfortunate this cross was discovered toward the end of the period of usefulness of Tempest as a matron. One of the in- dications of a successful blending of individuals and blood lines essential to an outstanding cross, always to be found in- the 88 The Beagle in America most noted instances, is the uniformity of the .progeny. Ex- amples of this are found in the cross of Hempfield Little Dandy with Florienne and Kate Favor, of Piedmont Judge, with cer- tain dams of the Piedmont pack; of Sir Florist Boy with the Sir Sister Beagles, and others, and showing here in the fact that in the one litter from which Fannhall Topsy came, there were two other field trial winners of high quality, as well as another lost at the age of about one year, said by Mr. Frank E. Stewart, the breeder, to have been as good as the others. However, from this litter, we have at least for our future guidance the benefit of the showing afforded by the blood lines involved in this mat- ing. Another daughter of Hempfield Little Dandy and Florienne, then known as Kishwaukee Judy, but later registered as Pied- mont Judy, passed into the ownership of the Piedmont Park at an early age, and crossed with the stud dogs in use there, was a producer of many winners. Prominent in the blood lines of many of the field trial winners of the later years is found the blood of the Thorp Satchville pack of England, notably among others many through Cirencester Fencer, a dog which made a great record on the bench in both England and America, and which was the objective of earnest efforts to return him to Eng- land after being brought to this country. Yet another Eastern dog prominent individually and through his progeny in both show and field records is Somerset Watchman, already men- tioned, and others which will be disclosed by examination of the tables to be found in the appendix. The most recent instance of the successful production of hounds of combined field and show quality is to be found in the record of the performance of Imp. Ch. Stoke Place Sapper, a winner of high bench honors in England previous to his im- portation to America by the Wheatley Kennels, including the Champion Cup at the Petersboro show in 1913, and of a bench show championship in America since his arrival here. He has already to his credit a considerable number of show and field trial winners, including the winner's dogs at the specialty show of the National Club in 1919, and the Westminister Kennel Club show at New York in 1920. He has produced, also, sev- eral winners in field trials in Eastern territory in strong com- petition in the fall of 1919. One of these, Wheatley Costly, although of only derby age, took third place in a class of twenty- six starters at the National meeting for bitches over thirteen The Beagle in America 89 and not over fifteen inches, and reserve winners at the West- minister Kennel Club of this year, and must be specially men- tioned as one of an unusually high quality both in the field and on the bench. Reference to the breeding of the prominent winning families shown in the tables given will disclose numerous other winning families and crosses of a high order of merit, some of the most CLYDE 11. noteworthy of which are the progeny of Piedmont Judge, Rose- dale Tipperary, Jupiter of Birchbrae and others in the East, and in the West Afton's Uncle bam, one of the greatest producing sires of all times, of the Hempfield Little Dandy and Florienne family, and Alibi Billy, a son of Driver, of Thorp Satchville blood, from Blue Diamond, a line bred Blue cap, with the dif- ferent dams of varying blood lines from which these dogs have produced many winners. The evidence of prepotency in such sires, shown by winners tracing to them in succeeding genera- 90 The Beagle in America tions, should and it is hoped will prove of value in the guid- ance of breeders in the future. Viewing at this time the development of specialty clubs and increased interest in the breed which has taken place in the two decades which have passed since the writing of the work of Mr. Turpin and Mr. Cole, and seeing our favorites stand today on a par with the pointer and setter in the estimation of sports- men, the force of Mr. Turpin's statement made two decades ago that "beagle interests rest today upon a firmer foundation than ever before, and that the little hound bids fair in time to become the most popular of sporting hounds," may be more fully appreciated. But let the breeders of the present day remember that the results accomplished have been due to the foundation so well laid, and to the intelligent efforts constantly made in the mean- time by the men prominent in the sport and the specialty clubs, and the uniformly high plane upon which they have conducted their activities. And if the recording of what has taken place in the past, and the bringing of the high ideals of the more prominent sportsmen of the fraternity of the early days as well as of the present, and the records of the breed and other prac- tical information afforded, to the attention and knowledge of the present day followers of the merry little hound, serves its de- sired purpose of assistance in carrying on along the same lines the successful efforts of the past, the compiler and the gentle- men mentioned who have wrought faithfully with him in the production of this work will feel that their labors have been Avell rewarded. JAMES MCALEER FIELD TRIALS Selection, Preparation and Handling BY JAMES McALEER SEWICKLEY, PA. DURING the thirty years which have passed since the first holding of a beagle field trial in America, it has been my good fortune to have bred, trained and handled in such events a considerable number of winners. I have been asked to contribute to this work an article on the selection, preparation and handling of beagles at field trials, but before taking up the subject matter proper of this chapter, I desire to say that while my activities have been along field trial lines, I want to go on record as expressing my belief that the attention given to type by the show giving clubs must be accorded a full measure of credit, along with the work of the different field trial organizations, in the great improvement which is noted in the breed since my first association with it. The improvement in field quality has gone on steadily, but the improvement in type has, I think, kept abreast of it, and at this time, nearly two decades since I contributed to the for- mer book of Mr. Cole on this subject, I want to again say, as I did then, without any desire to detract from the merits of the dogs of the early field trial period, that there have been such improvements in field qualities in the meantime that many of the dogs capable of winning then would hardly get beyond the first series now. And along with this improvement in the field qualities has gone equal improvement in type, well marked in the leading field trial strains of the present day. I said in my former article that there existed no necessity for a bench show type and a field trial type. History has verified my be- lief, and in the reports of shows and trials of the present we find the same dogs taking high rank in both, and it is now well demonstrated that it is possible and practicable to breed and The Beagle in America g$ develop a beagle of combined type and field quality of a high degree of merit. The beagle, essentially a limiting dog, appeals to the man in whom the love of the hunt is strong, and while among them there are those with regard only for the size of tin- bag of a day's hunt, there are many with whom that item is a secondary consideration, and who derive their pleasure chiefly, from asso- ciation with nature in the open and the work of their dogs. These are the type of sportsmen who have built up the institu- tion of beagle field trials to its high standing of the present day, and it is through this, one of the grandest of outdoor sports, that the attention of sportsmen who enjoy the field work of a high class dog, has been attracted in increasing numbers with the years, until these events have come to rank second in importance to none, and the beagle stands today on an equal footing with the pointers and setters in the estimation and esteem of sportsmen. One reason for this, doubtless, is to be found in the fact that game for the holding of beagle field trials may be found in almost any locality. This, and the fact that the work and ex- pense of training and handling beagles is so much less, and that with a little experience sportsmen can successfully train and handle their dogs in a field trial meeting, have combined in making it so attractive as a sport coming within the reach of those even in moderate circumstances, and thus bringing about the great increase of interest in these events. And since, al- though it is the work the dogs show themselves to the judges to be capable of doing which determines the awards, there arc many ways in which their handlers may render them assistance. and indeed, it is their duty to do so, so long as they do not transgress the running rules, it will be the object of this article to impart for the benefit of the beginner such information as I may be able, for his benefit and assistance in the selection of his prospect for field trial honors, and its preparation and han- dling while under judgment. First in order, of course, comes the selection of a prospective entry having the necessary natural qualifications, and aside from those essential in any dog which is to handle game successfully, whether as a hunting dog or as a field trial dog. the prospect, if it is to justify the owner's expectations, must have what is gener- ally termed the spirit of competition. He must be able to carry the line and Avork out the checks and turns, and possess the nose and brains and hunting sense to do these things, and he must g6 The Beagle in America be a good searcher and do it intelligently, and if he can, he is a good shooting dog. But while a good field trial dog will also be a good shooting dog, the converse, as applied to the good shooting dog, does not follow, unless he has the spirit of com- petition. We must remember that there is a vast difference in the con- ditions under which a dog goes down under judgment at a field trial, and those under which it finds itself when hunting afield with its owner and his friends. There it is not under the often occurring handicap at field trials of the gallery follow- ing too closely, and down for a limited time only, during which it must show its best constantly, and where to be successful it must have this fighting spirit of competition to enable it to do its best in defeating its competitor at the critical time. After the thirty years of what is now field trial history, results of which have enabled men interested in the sport to make the proper breeding selections, there is generally sufficient of it to be found in the properly bred beagle of today. But while this spirit is now well bred into the modern beagle, much remains to be done by its owner or handler, starting with The Beagle in America 97 it as a puppy prospect, to develop and bring it out properly. The sportsmen who know and understand their dogs need not be told that there exists a mutual understanding, or reciprocity or feeling or spirit between the handler and his dog, and as the latter as the pupil, takes from the handler, very naturally, the teaching of precept and example, unless the owner or handler, when afield with his charges, sets them the example of in- dustry and diligence, he is apt to soon find them, like himself, Micawber like, waiting for something to turn up and, here as CH. BELLE AFTON with all other bad habits to which both the human and canine family are prone, an ounce of prevention is worth the proverbial pound of cure. It is not the business of the handler to find the game for his dogs, but he must school himself to keep on the move and show himself interested in the search for game, and if he will do this the youngsters catch the spirit from him and soon become the merry and industrious searchers we all q8 The Beagle in America love to see, and which they must be if they are to prove worthy of a place in the records of field trial winneis. An incident at a meeting of the National Beagle Club in 1911, while the candidates perhaps carried it to an extreme, will serve to illustrate what I have termed this spirit of competition. In the class for fifteen inch all age dogs, Afton's Uncle Sam and Belray Blue Boy, two which had done previous winning and' subsequently became champions, were down together, and while searching at a check, Sam struck the line, and as he was gathering himself to declare and get away, Blue Boy, indus- triously feeling for the line and with an eye on Sam all the while, instantly grasped the situation, and making a dive for the loca- tion, ran into Sam and shouldered him aside in an effort to get the line and get away in front, when Sam promptly declared war and there was a pitched battle right on the field. This, as I say, was carrying it to an extreme, but it is an illustration of the intense desire and determination a field trial dog, to be suc- cessful, must have to find the line and get away in the lead at checks, and when away, to keep the lead over his competitor. It is common experience that younger dogs working with those older and more experienced will be found depending more or less on the latter, and for this reason it has always seemed better practice to me to work derby candidates in a pack or by themselves. In this way they acquire the neces- sary independence and disposition to rely on their own efforts more quickly, and also develop their starting qualities better, when they do not have the wisdom of the old dogs to aid them in getting a rabbit started. When once they are well started at searching and show some ability to handle the game, the next step is if possible to take them out with an older dog, one that is entirely reliable and true and without too much speed. The absence of speed in the older dog enables the young dog to keep in on the work and at the same time pay some attention to the trail. And again, if the young dog has the necessary field trail ambition and desire, even in the embryo, to keep up with the pack or bracemate, too much speed in the latter makes it necessary for the youngster to center its efforts at keeping in, and may result in its becoming mouthy, and once this habit is acquired it is one very difficult to rid the dog of. Take young puppies afield with their mother, when quite small, and we see them crying along behind her, merely because they cannot keep up. That is the natural tendency, and it is one which is always with the dog as it grows, and as hunting sense develops, if a The Beagle in America 99 youngster is worked continually with dogs of superior speed, it becomes noisy simply as a matter of cause and effect, or else loses the necessary ambition to lead. When the candidate goes down at a field trial event, if it is to be successful, it must be prepared to use its speed in main- taining a lead over its competitor. Do not understand me that speed is the prevailing or determining factor with a judge who understands his business. It is not. But judges base their de- cision on what they see of a brace while under judgment, there- fore, since if in other respects two are of equal merit, the dog ■** — » •■ 'w± ^^B^H m2f 7 «• *-- ^y k^ ' wM \^w f^H ^/^ *- if ~H * • $?r ^1 A RECORD LITTER OF TWELVE BY SAILOR'S MAJOR which shows ability to lead his competitor will get the deci- sion, it is of great importance to develop what speed your pros- pect may have, so that while giving necessary attention to other features of his work, he will always be trying to cut out the work and do the leading, and will fight his hardest before surrendering it. To be the right sort of field trial dog, he should govern his speed according to conditions, not trying to use more speed than his nose and the scent permit in keeping to the line, but nevertheless using all the speed he has consistent with those factors. This necessary element of speed in a field trial prospect should be a matter of gradual development. He should be taken out IOO The Beagle in America first Avith those or with one of less speed than himself, so that he will find he can lead, and not be discouraged or get the idea from being worked with one of superior speed that he cannot lead. If this is done, he finds he can lead, and if he has the proper field trial spirit or form in this respect, he will find him- self liking it and forming the habit. Working in this way, as he shows ability and desire to lead and still perform his work on the game properly, give him from time to time dogs a little faster, but which he can still lead and not do it at the expense ALIBI BILLY of proper handling of his game. In this way the speed can be gradually developed so that when the time comes for putting him in competition at the trials, he will have acquired the habit, and with it the desire and disposition to put into his work the speed and spirit of competition he will find necessary there. Another essental element of preparation and of almost equal importance, especially with dogs of a nervous or somewhat timid disposition, is to get them accustomed to working in strange surroundings and with strange dogs, as they will have The Beagle in America to do when taken to a field trial meeting. In the human family most of us realize one time or another the difficulty of being called upon at some time or another to do in some strange place and surroundings, and among strange faces, something we do right along at home with no feeling of nervousness or self con- sciousness attendant upon it. Here again, with dogs, it is the same with many of them as it is in the human species. There are some, exceptions doubtless, of sufficient boldness and in- dependence, to go for the first time from home training and F. T. CH. DANDY S NITA hunting grounds, to a field trial meeting and there put their best foot forward under the strange and different conditions found there. But with the great majority of field trial prospects, and espe- cially those of derby age, which of necessity under the condi- tions are under two years of age. and sometimes but little over 102 The Beagle in America a year old, they should during the process of preparation be given all possible chances of accustoming themselves to strange surroundings and conditions, so that when put down in compe- tition, they are not handicapped by the sensation of nervousness or strangeness of surroundings, but will proceed to put their best effort into the necessarily brief time allotted them. In the territory of all field trial clubs there are enthusiasts living close to each other, enabling them to put their dogs into a crate and carry them, either on the train or by vehicle, to each other's homes, where they can be run in different pairings with dogs strange to each other, thus accustoming themselves to running in strange company and in strange surroundings, and also getting accustomed to being transported from one place to another, all of these being conditions necessarily con- nected with attending and competition in field trials. Then when the important time comes and the candidate goes down in competition, these things are more or less of an old story with him, and he will be much more apt to immediately get down to business in the highly important task of making a good first impression on the dignified gentlemen he will find watching him to see if he is to be found worthy a place in the summaries. Another equally important element of preparation is the con- dition of the dog. When we consider what a delicate and finely adjusted organ of sense the nose of a beagle must be to enable him to carry the scent of the rabbit, probably the lightest and most evanescent scent a game trailing dog is called on to handle, and to do it with the snap and speed we look for in the proper kind of field trial beagle, and how easily it may be affected by some slight disorder of the dog's system, the importance of hav- ing the dog in good condition in every way from this stand- point, as well as from that of the necessary endurance for the work, will be apparent. Just as he cannot drive faster than his nose will permit, neither can he go fast or long with su- perfluous flesh. This, however, must not be reduced, with a dog high in flesh, at the expense of weakening the dog. He must be worked, not starved down. Hard work and plenty of it will get rid of the fat and reduce the flesh and harden the muscles, but while this is being done the dog must have suffi- cient of the right kind of food to keep up his strength, and so gradually work him down to a smooth, hard condition, able to go out and take his work and plenty of it and be ready for more. It is the better practice when working out dogs in preparation to watch them closely, and always take them up before they The Beagle in America IOJ have begun to slow down. This has the double advantage of getting them in the habit of getting in as much hunt as they can, before the time they know by experience the unwelcome horn or call will inevitably summon them to come reluctantly to the leads, and also gives the handler a line on the endurance they are showing and whether they are coming into condition as they should, so that he may govern himself accordingly in their preparation. ROSEDALE TIPPERRARY With the candidate properly trained and conditioned comes the all important time when the brace in which it is drawn is called and it goes down under judgment. Here, as human na- ture is much the same wherever it must be considered as a fac- tor, the first impression is of great importance. It always looks good to a judge to see a dog start off busily and searching in- telligently, something which should be well developed and 104 The Beagle in America looked after in the training period. And it is well if possible to have the dog about on a lead for a short time at' least, before it will be called, giving it a little exercise, and also the benefit of a little stirring up of enthusiasm from hearing the preceding brace during their running. If, however, the dog does not get away at once about his work, or shows lack of disposition to take to the briars or cover or the course the judges indicate, here is where the handler can help the chances of his charge by starting briskly away and urging the dog along and getting him started at once. It is also of importance, especially with a derby age dog, to get it out in front and away from the crowd, where there is nothing to distract attention from the work ex- pected. ■gt" \ 0- *iffiK |W J. e. mitinger's pack This applies more especially, of course, to derby than to all age dogs, which are expected to get away at once and about their work. The dogs are now cast off and the course indi- cated by the judges, and here is where the novice or amateur must be prepared to handle himself as much or more so, per- haps, in many cases, than his dog. Put your effort into getting your dog started working on the desired course, and when this is done, then handle yourself and let him alone. It is his work, not yours, on which the judges will base their awards. If he is worthy of a place, he knows where to look for the game, and how to handle it when afoot, and the more you urge or attempt The Beagle in America 105 to direct him, the more you interfere with his work and hinder his chances. One thing judges should take largely into consideration, since the object of a field trial is to distinguish for the benefit of the breed the best dogs competing, as hunting dogs, is the disposition to search industriously for game and the ability to do so intelligently, shown by the dogs in competition. There- fore, do not be in too much of a hurry about starting a rabbit. If the grounds are properly selected, your dog will have plenty of opportunity on game, and you should let the judges, wher- ever possible, see that he is an industrious and intelligent searcher, and if they know their business it will be a strong point for your dog with them, and furthermore, if he has spent a few minutes of his time ranging and searching, he is better prepared to run a rabbit when one is found. Soon a rabbit is started, either by one of the dogs or perhaps jumped by someone. Perhaps it is seen sitting, and in this event the judges will direct the handlers to take up their dogs and not let them see the rabbit while it is started and getting out of sight. When you are called to get your dog up to show him on game, carefully avoid any appearance or manifestation of excitement, because it is contagious with your dog. If he doesn't come at once to call, get him as quickly and quietly as you can. Continued calling or whistling only serves to give the judges the impression of disobedience in the dog. Keep coo\ and bring him up quietly and don't let him get a sight of the rabbit getting away, as it will only tend to excite and unsteady him in the great majority of cases. Now the rabbit has been bolted, or the dogs have been brought where one has been seen getting away, and the time lias come for your dog to show what it can do in handling the game. A jumped rabbit, whether from fright in being hustled unceremoniously from his comfortable squat, or from the fact that the faster he runs — and he is generally doing his level best at such times — the less spread there is of the hind feet, which leave the scent, and consequently the less scent, leaves less scent in the first three or four rods of his course than he does further along. Therefore, work your dog out a short distance to and across the line, and here again be careful to avoid the sin of overhandling. For one thing, you may penalize yourself with the judges by confusing the other dog, and even if you are suc- cessful in laying your dog on by your efforts, it deprives your dog of the greater credit he might have obtained if he did it jo6 The Beagle in America under their eyes without your help. Keep your head cool and "don't rock the boat," and if the other handler is handicapping his dog by overhandling, let him do it. It isn't hurting you one bit under a competent judge. But if he does it to the extent it is confusing or interfering with your dog, make your objec- tion promptly to the judges. That is your privilege and duty, and they will protect your rights promptly. F. B. Z1M Ml R When the line has been found, if the other dog is first to find and your dog does not get in promptly, you must hark him in quickly, because the judges want to see them in competition. Now they are away on the line, and judges, handlers and gal- lery follow watching the work. You should keep up as closely with the dogs as possible without crowding them. A common trick of the rabbit after getting a good lead is to double for a short distance and squat. By following closely, if this seems to be the case, when the others come up, don't hesitate to speak The Beagle in America 107 out and ask them to keep back a reasonable distance. That is your right as a handler. The dogs will swing and cast at the check, but it is noticed they will seldom swing behind the crowd, where the rabbit is apt to be as not, and if the gallery is allowed to get too close the result may be a run to a loss, where if they W. A. POWEL RAY A. THAYEK are held back the rabbit will be started again. The importance of giving your dog a sufficient measure of protection on this point cannot be over-estimated. If there is a competent marshal in attendance he will attend to it, but if there is not or he doesn't io8 The Beagle in America attend to it. act yourself, and act promptly. Your time down is necessarily short, and hesitation on this point may result in a loss in the work of the brace, and deprive you of a chance in the next series. By following the dogs closely when on game and keeping a sharp outlook for the rabbit, and keeping it in sight as much as possible, you are often in position to be of material assistance to your dog and do it very properly, through knowing where the game is or the direction it has taken at a bad check. The dog of intelligence and used to its handler when at a baffling check will look at him oftener than he realizes in mute appeal for help in solving the puzzle. We have all had the experience in hunting our dogs, and it is the same in field trial events. Any form of jockeying or taking unfair advantage of the other han- dler in any way cannot be too strongly condemned. But a field trial event is a competitive affair, and the handler owes it to himself and his charge to help the latter in the use of its intelli- F. T. CH. YOUNG TIPPECANOE gence in any way he can fairly. If you know the course of the game or where it is, by standing apart a little and taking a quick step or two, or even looking intently in the right direc- tion, if you have properly trained your dogs before the trials, so they know the meaning of it, you can many times help them to make the proper swing and get on the right course again. Another respect in which a handler can be of material assist- ance, and which is also very much appreciated by the judges, is in knowing where his dog is and keeping it on the indicated course. If it is a case of a jumped rabbit, and your dog is not where you can get him in quickly, or for that matter, in any The Beagle in America 109 case where the judges desire the dogs worked to the line of a rabbit, the scent is getting colder all the time, and you are also losing some of the valuable allotted time both for yourself and the other handler. Again, the other dog may start a rab- bit, and if your dog is not close by, or his competitor chances to be one of the kind without voice of much volume or carry, vour dog may not hear him getting away, and lose an opportu- nity for a showing on game, or perhaps be discredited for re- fusing to hark in to the other dog. Where one sense, like scent, is highly developed as it is in the beagle, another such as hear- ing is apt to be much less developed, and a dog which at the time another opens happens to be intent on a search, is liable not to hear the other dog. So if for any reason your dog does not get in quickly, get to him quickly and quietly as possible and get him in as soon as you can do it. It often happens a check will come in the vicinity of a hole or other safe retreat, such as perhaps, a hollow tree or log. Here is where I believe it is of considerable value and importance to have your dogs trained to mark a hole. The existence of a hole in the vicinity of the end of a chase makes an excellent alibi for a brace which has run to a loss. But the fact it is there is not conclusive evidence at all that the rabbit has taken cover at that place. But if your dog is trained to mark hole, and does so, the question of whether it is a loss or completed chase is effectually settled, and your dog gets the credit for the per- formance, and further, by doing so, if the rabbit is in fact holed, if your dog marks, he gets credit for a completed run, which he might not get with a judge who had to be shown, rf he did not do so. I want to say further, that just as a dog to be a success in held trial competition must know and understand the ways of the rabbit in order to handle it properly and receive his proper meed of credit while under judgment, so the man who is to be a successful and competent handler of beagles, must himself study and acquire a practical knowledge of the ways of a rab- bit. While the rabbit family has many characteristics and nat- ural tendencies in common, we find them often differing widely in the same locality, from the creeping twister which no brace can catch or make a respectable showing on, to a straightaway flyer on which a brace of good dogs will go away on for a race the spectators will be talking about for years afterwards. Again, occasionally a brace will strike a rabbit which seemingly has to do' just so much dodging and twisting about where the cover 110 The Beagle in America is convenient for the purpose, and a pair of good ones will not be able to accomplish much with him, and if it happens toward the end of their time, and especially if they have not previously had a chance on a good runner, or for that matter, if they have, although not to so great an extent, their showing will not ap- pear so well in the press reports, or possibly if the judges are not as competent as they might be, they do not get the credit they should have there, when they have done all that was pos- sible under the conditions. They may about the time they are ordered up have the rabbit convinced it is about time to be get- ting away from that locality, and the next brace down, no better, SIR FLORIST perhaps not as good, go on with him and make a good showing. Before closing this contribution to this work, which is in- tended as a handbook of practical information for the newcom- ers in the beagler ranks, as well as of the history of the breed, I would like to digress from the main line of my subject to call attention to the difference under which dogs compete in field trial events, and the conditions when out for a day's hunt with the owner and favored friends privileged to accompany him. With new clubs springing up each year or two, and only some four or five to six weeks available in the fall for field trials, each club can have but few days for its events without conflicting The Beagle in America with the dates of other clubs, and with the increasing entries of each year, the time of each brace is very limited. Again, good reporters of such events are scarce, and there are not enough of them available to cover all these events while they are under way. Instances are common in the reports where one brace is reported as running two or three rabbits to a loss, when in fact, it has been a case of a check and the rabbit started again, and they have been on the same rabbit all the time, and oftentimes reported as having run to a loss at the end, where in fact, it was merely a check, and they were ordered up preparatory to starting the work of the next brace. Therefore, I would say to those who have never attended a field trial, in reading the reports, take these things into con- sideration, and do not get a mistaken impression of this one of the greatest of sports afield it is the privilege of man to enjoy, and so deprive yourselves of the pleasure you will be afforded if you will attend a field trial meeting and see it for yourself. Get yourself one or two good ones, if you haven't them already, prepare them properly, and join your nearest club and enter and run your dogs in its events, and if you are of the type of the men who have built up beagle field trials as an institution to its present high standing, you will realize the meaning and follow the common saying of one of the live or- ganizations of the present day, "those who come to see remain for aye." C. E. UNDERWOOD L. P. CROXMILLER LOL'IS STEFFEN COTTONTAIL FIELD TRIALS AND JUDGING BY LE PAGE CRONMILLER LAUREL, MD. I RECEIVED a letter a few days ago from Mr. Prentice with a request that I answer the following: "Give your opinion of the requirements of a field trial beagle, and also state your ideas how a beagle field trial on rabbits should be judged." Now what I shall say is only my opinion and poorly ex- pressed. If, however, I can say anything that will be of interest or advantage to my brother beaglers, or give any thought that will be of any use to a single lover of the "little hound," then I am perfectly willing to stand the "knocks" this article may bring forth. It is not well for all to think alike, therefore, there are many who will disagree with me, and in such case all they have to do is to write a better definition of a field trial beagle, and a clearer and more explicit way to judge a beagle when in competition, and we beagle lovers will devour every word of it. A field trial beagle must have brains (which also includes a level head), nose, hunting ability, speed, aggressiveness or a desire to get there first, a fighting, pushing ahead nature or whatever you care to call it. It goes without saying, it is un- fair to start a hound if not in condition, for the better he is physically the better his nose will be. We will consider these qualities separately. To my mind brains is the most important possession of a consistent winner. Brains and a level head go together. If a hound has brains and a level head he will do little that is wrong, and if he does do wrong he will soon cor- rect himself. 114 The Beagle in America The conditions and surroundings at a field trial are nearly always different from those at home and I believe nine times out of ten the hound is handled differently. At home he is allowed more freedom or, in other words, he is allowed to use his own head more. When he gets to the trials he expects to do the same. But is he allowed to do so? Usually, no. When he is put down at the trials he is expected to hark quickly to the tongueing of his brace mate, no matter if he be right or wrong. He may be working on a perfectly good line and may be fooled F. T. CH. HEMPFIELD LITTLE DANDY by his rival, or even by his handler, to leave his line and go to the other hound, only to find it was a false alarm. A level headed hound will not be thus led astray very often by the same hound. Of course it takes courage and will power not to an- swer the other's call, and the right kind have the courage to stick to what they are working on, for they are sure they are right. At home, if you have a babbler, just watch the level headed hound, and see how much attention he pays to Mr. Loud-mouth. The Beagle in America 115 It only takes a brainy hound a short time to find out which is lying — dogs are like men in this respect. But by some strange change of note or something we do not understand or perceive, the level headed hound will not hark quickly when the noisy MRS. DR. T. B. SNYDER, A SUCCESSFUL FTELD TRIAL HANDLER hound makes a start. Now the same conditions or display of brains will occur later on when the babbler overruns and keps on going like a "sight chase." Now is the time Mr. Level-head must u6 The Beagle in America have a lot of courage and nerve to stop, when he runs out of scent and gets back to where he left the line, while Mr. Babbler is calling him on. When you see him stop and go back it makes you admire Mr. Level-head more than you thought you could. Of course, sometimes these high flyers get things going their way and by luck get away with it. Nothing has excited them, nothing has bothered them, they get away in front and make a good showing. But can they repeat, and if they do repeat in an hour will they repeat tomorrow and next year? I am draw- ing these comparisons to try and show why I consider brains the most important possession a winning beagle has. He may have all the speed in the world and fairly "burn the grass," but if he has not brains enough to know when to go fast and when to go slow he will never be a consistent winner. Brains with a level head are what we want in a hound. What good are brains if not properly used? Crazy people are very smart in some ways and smart people are also very crazy in other ways. Some hounds get too smart and work their brains to their own disadvantage. They think they can cut and get ahead without being seen, or possibly they don't care, just so they get there, and several other little tricks they possess. One of the best bitches I know and she always runs a good heat, does much better work if she does not see the rabbit, but believe me. she can see a rabbit "a mile'' and when she does, she is not as steady as before. She seems to have a notion in her head that she wants to eat that rabbit, and she then and there makes up her mind to do it, by fair running if she can and otherwise if she must. Another fault of a "smart hound" is rot to follow the line when it leads into bad going or thick briers, but to hang around on the outside waiting for a chance for the rabbit to come out, when they will jump into the lead and go on as if they had performed well and done good work. Nose is a wonderful asset, and on the bad days and worse places it is great to see how these keen nosed hounds can follow the rabbits' line. Many times they have to slow down, yes, almost stop and then pick it out very slowly, but here again the brains manage the whole situation, they control the move- ments, and when the line is finally straightened out the brains cause the shift from "low gear" to "high" and the hound is moving fast again. Watch a hound when a rabbit runs to a road and possibly follows it for quite a distance. The hound will try one side of the road for a while, then try the other, then the middle and yet no scent. He may repeat this and also n8 The Beagle in America try the banks or along the fence on each side, but still no scent. He knows the rabbit came to that point, he knows he must search for the line from that point. He works further up and down the road, and finally gets the line — a slight whiff — which he continues to follow slowly, until he gets on good footing again when he can speed up and drive as he did before the road interfered. His good nose finally worked it out, but his brains caused him to work both sides and the middle of that road before he did get it straight. Speed — Most any ordinary "fit" hound has speed enough to carry him as fast as he should want to go. He must, however, have a keen desire to use that speed and push on to the lead, if he can attain it and still carry the line. If he can run a "'mile a minute" and cannot follow the line, what good is speed tc him? It will very likely carry him so far from the line that he will never find it again. While speed can help a hound, it can also hurt his chances to win unless he has brains enough to control his speed. Put two speedy ones down together, and it they are not level headed they will put themselves out of the race by wild running. Speed is a fine asset when properly used, but it is also a disadvantage when not under control. In many cases too much attention is paid to speed. After one hound has worked the trail through briers and over bad ground to good, straight going, the other will jump in and drive away like the wind. Now, which one deserves the most credit? Cer- tainly the one that did the hard work. Another kind of a case can be cited. One hound is in the bushes and briers hunting for a loss or a start, the other is working the paths and "easy places," a little brier shy. The hound in the bushes forces the rabbit out, but before he gets the line straight enough to de- clare himself, the one on the outside either sees the rabbit or is lucky enough to run over the trail and away he goes, "stealing the other fellow's thunder." Speed is all right if under proper control. What good is speed to a baseball pitcher if he cannot control the ball and put it over the plate, and what good is speed to a hound if he cannot control himself and keep on the line? Desire to hunt and endurance. Any ordinary healthy beagle when properly worked and in condition, has endurance for an all day hunt and can and will run from morning until night. He will, of course, have to be game and I think most of them are. Many of them will stick it out just as long as they can walk, but there are some that have no heart or courage and are natur- ally lazy. These are apt to quit in an hour's race, especially The Beagle in America 119 if things do not just go to suit them. A hound that has not had enough work to get him in physical shape is at a great dis- advantage when any great effort has to be made. He is not right for such hard work and try all he may he has not the strength to keep up, much less go ahead and show the way. It is really sad to see some old, fat hound — good in his day — put down with a keen, hard, fit brace mate. His experience may help him if scenting is hard and he may make a fair showing, but what would he have done if he had been treated right and worked until in running shape? ManwMMWM i im ni— «— ■ F. T. CH. AFTON GOLDIE Hunting ability and energy and desire to hunt is a very neces- sary quality, but it is not demonstrated as much as we would like to have, it done. There are several reasons for this. In the first place, thirty minutes is the usual length of a heat, and every handler is anxious to get a start as soon as possible to give his hound all the chance he can on game. He, therefore, gets busy and tries to get a rabbit going — then the crowd may walk up a rabbit before the hounds know they have been cast off. Late in the day old scent has disappeared, and the hound has not the same incentive to get him going as the one down early in the morning. Then some hounds have been led around for hours before they are called for, and a lot of ginger has been 120 The Beagle in America taken out of them, especially if they have been cuffed around for making a noise in their anxiety to get in the chase with the brace that is working. All these things result in a hound not being able to always demonstrate that he can and will hunt for and start game. A good starter is always a welcomed addition to a man's pack. My experience has been that the hound that works the old night trails will not start as many rabbits as the one that looks in likely places, ditch banks, etc. Some hounds seem to know just where to look for the rabbit and are wonders to get them going. F. T. CH. KISHWAUKEE JUDY Aggressiveness, ambition, a desire to be in the lead, is quite an attribute and the hound that possesses these qualities is hard to beat. He is after his game all the time. If a loss is made he is working to find the line every minute he is down, and o Z ? H •~- pi > 2. m » t/1 i6o The Beagle in America get out with the little hounds a couple of days a week during the season. The boys could meet the expense by subscription, and in a short time it would be considered an honor to be elected Master of Beagles, perhaps as great an honor as captain of the baseball team. Many young men have begun with beagles and have found them a most useful school, both for hunting hounds and for kennel management, an experience that proved a very great help to them in after years when taking over the master- ship of a pack of foxhounds. In 1912 in England and Wales there were many packs of Eeagles, as follows: 16/ inch packs 2 Harrier and Beagle Cross, Foot Harriers, 16/ inch packs 1 Half bred, 17 inch packs... 2 Foot Harriers, 17 inch packs 1 Foot Harriers, 18 inch packs 3 Foot Harriers, 20 to 22 inch packs 1 Basset Hounds, packs 7 12 nch packs. . 1 12/ nch packs. . 3 12/ 2 to 13 i nch packs. . 2 12 to 14 nch packs. . 1 13 inch packs. . 1 13/ inch packs. . 5 14 nch packs. .10 14/ inch packs. . 5 14 to 15 inch packs. . 4 15 inch packs. .20 15 to 15/ inch packs. . 1 i5y 2 inch packs. .11 15 to 16 inch packs. . 1 16 inch packs. . 5 16/ inch packs. . 1 18/ inch packs. . 1 No si ze given . . . . 1 12 to 13 inch packs. 12/ to 13/ inch packs.

For the sake of argument let us say that you have bought 20 couples and have started to hunt a little before your regular season. You have very few people out, as you have not ad- vertised as yet any meets. After hunting a few times you get to know something of your new hounds and immediately draft (get rid of) one or two that are too slow, one or two that are too fast, and one that runs mute — this is a very bad fault. A pack of hounds should work in perfect accord with each other — team work, so to speak ; when one hound speaks they all should go to him at once. A babbler is about the worst hound you could have; he is a liar; he speaks when there is nothing to speak to ; he will only fool the old hounds once or twice, but will do a lot of harm to the young ones. A few babblers in a pack will tend to make the good hounds too independent and they will not want to go to each other. A skirter is to be avoid- ed ; this is a hound that is continually working too wide of the others. Let us imagine that you have gotten to the end of your first season, and naturally you must have young hounds coming on, for the old ones are getting older and a few are unsound, so you turn your attention to breeding. You would not under any circumstances breed any hounds that were not really good in their work. You will first pick out the hounds to be used as stallions, and the best workers of your bitches. It would now be well to pay some attention to type when mating. Should you be breeding any old bitches, be sure to mate them with young hounds, and vice versa. You might often want to breed for special working qualities, such as for nose, voice, drive, etc. Color, in my opinion, is of little importance. I have often heard the old saying, "A good hound cannot be a bad color," and it is a ery true. Many people prefer dark saddles, tan heads, with some white. A few hounds of a light color is an advantage, as they can be seen so much further, especially on plow or in broomsedge. I should certainly advise never breeding from a hound whose constitution is not the best. The result of such matings is bound to be a disappointment. As soon as your bitches show that they are in whelp they should be turned out ; they will do much better. I like bitches to be well divided when they whelp ; if warm enough, individual kennels, light enough to be easily moved, are very handy. They, can be placed in shady spots in a field. The slanting roof of 3» H 168 The Beagle in America kennels should be on hinges so that they can be opened to sev- eral different heights, for the purpose of ventilation and also that they may be cleaned out more readily and thoroughly. I prefer rye straw cut up for bedding. An old oat bag tacked down to the floor is very good for the first few days, especially in hot weather, and the puppies are better able to get up to the bitch, as their feet do not slip, as on boards. Puppies should be thoroughly wormed at about two months. I have found the following effective: }A grain Santonin in 1 teaspoonful of castor oil, given in morning after a 12 hour fast. Next ; your puppies should be tattooed in the ears. A good sys- tem is in one ear S B, should your pack be the Somerville Beagles, and the litter mark in the other, such as 20 1, 20 2, and so on, the 20 standing for the year 1920 and the 1, 2 and so on for individual puppies. Your whelps are now ready to go out to walk. (That is, placing, say, one couple with a neighbor who cares for them.) There should be plenty of neighbors who en- joy the sport you show during the hunting season, who are only too glad to help sport to the extent of walking a couple of puppies. Puppies must be on fresh ground and a lot of them never do well about a kennel, so plenty of good walks are im- portant. While at walk about all they need is plenty of food, table scraps if enough are good, and if not enough they can be helped out with a bit of biscuit. A dry place to sleep and per- fect freedom. Children at a walk are a great benefit; the pup- pies soon become their friends and the fun is mutual. In case a Master of Beagles hunts hounds himself, he can get on very well with one man who acts as Whipper-in and Kennel Huntsman, otherwise he would need a huntsman and whipper-in, unless he had a very big establishment, in which case a kennelman would be necessary as well. The puppies at walk should be visited every now and then ; they may need another worming or a good dressing to prevent or cure a little mange. You will bring your puppies in from walk the following spring and a downcast, homesick lot they are for the first few days in kennels. You have named them before they went out to walk, but the walkers probably did not use the names. They now have to be taught their names, will need another worming and surely a good dressing. All hunt servants will have a secret mixture for a dressing and they will think it far superior to any other. Kennel manners have to be taught and the young ones have to be broken. 170 The Beagle in America Kennel management of a pack of hounds is practically un- known to Americans ; for good hunt servants you must go to England. The young ones are put in couples, sometimes a young hound is coupled to an old one. It is more convenient to start in an enclosed grass yard. The method to be employed is to get hounds to understand that the whipper-in is not their friend and that the huntsman is. The latter should always leave the punishment of any hound to the whipper-in. After a bit the hounds are ready to go on the road ; in order to be gotten fit and ready for the coming season, their pads must be hardened and they must be muscled up all over. While on the road hounds should become free from all riot (a riotous hound may cause you no end of trouble and embarrassment during the sea- son) ; they should be steadied on eats, cur dogs, sheep, cows, chickens, etc. I certainly hope you have escaped distemper, which rarely happens, and if you miss it one year it often is far worse the next. Some believe in inoculations to prevent it. I am sure, however, that good nursing j s most important. A man's for- tune is made if he can surely prevent it or cure it. Nourishing and easily digested food in small quantities is important, as well a dry and warm quarters. Sunlight helps and cleanliness must not be forgotten. I have found the following a convenient method for keeping a record of puppies. An ordinary notebook, pages about 7x8 inches, will do very well. Whelped April 11, 1920. Sire Dam Proctor 1916. Chatterbox 1913 Sex Litter Mark Name. Went nut. Returned. Walked by Dog. 20 1 Chancellor. Tune 10 May 1, 1921. Mr. B. Smith. Dog. 20 3 Clapper. Tune 1 May 1. 1921. Mr. S. Brown.

Entering Young Hounds: It is best to take a few old and xtra steady hounds out with the young ones, and when they find and go away on a line, the young ones will readily go on with them, and the sooner they get blood the better. When you kill for the first time be sure to make a great fuss over the pup- pies and be sure that they get a taste of the worry. "Spare the rod and spoil the child" is an old saying that certainly applies to young hounds. Sttppose a young hound runs a cat; the 17 2 The Beagle in America Whipper-in should get him by the stern (tail) immediately and let him have it down the ribs as hard as ever he can, calling "ware cat." The hound will probably not do much more work that day and may not even get his head down again, but he has learned one thing, and that is, he is to leave cats absolutely alone. Little by little your young hounds are learning what is wanted of them and they are getting very keen. Do not be discouraged about the hounds that are slow to enter ("enter" means start to hunt). I have seen many very good hounds that hardly entered their first season at all. Feeding: It is best for the one who hunts hounds to feed them, but very often this is impossible. It is not absolutely necessary; hounds will like you if you feed them, but they will love you if you show them sport. In the long run I like oat- meal and horseflesh as a diet. The oatmeal is the steel cut or pin head or rolled ; it is boiled in a copper (caldron) and should be stirred while boiling to prevent burning; when it becomes so stff that you can't stir it, it is cooked and it is time to dump your fire. This oatmeal pudding should then be placed in a cooler and it becomes quite firm. You may have enough to last sev- eral days, especially in cool or cold weather, when there is but little chance that it will turn sour. Your flesh is thoroughly boiled until it is so tender that it almost falls from the bones. It is easily broken up and mixed with the pudding in a feeding trough, which I prefer is made of wood, being lighter to handle than metal, and hounds that are very greedy are less apt to hurt their teeth. Good judgment is all important in the feeding of hounds. If you have a small pack I prefer drawing out the thin and slow feeders first and give them a good go, then draw the ones that do not need so much ; a glutton will need but a very short time at the trough. When you are sure a hound has had suffi- cient draw him from feed room back to lodging house immedi- ately. Of course, you would always feed your dog hounds first. Many huntsmen let hounds in all at once and draw back the light doers for a second go. A change of food is good ; in sum- mer you would not feed as much flesh as during cooler weather, but flesh is important when they go on the road. Cabbage or other greens is very good in summer ; they can be boiled with the flesh. Mule flesh is good, as well as a cow or steer. Of course, the soup is very good. Coarse corn meal or rice is the makings of a good pudding. If hounds had been on oatmeal for a time it might be well to gradually change and make a 174 The Beagle in America pudding of part oatmeal and part rice. When hounds have had a hard day it is best to feed as soon as you can after getting in ; they may be reluctant to leave their benches if left there too long and it disturbs their much needed rest. After feeding hounds should be walked out ; in fact, the more they are walked out the better. Kennels: Beagles can be well cared for in modest sort of kennels. A lodging house for dog hounds and one for bitches, a cook house and feed room is necessary. There should be concrete yards to each lodge, to which hounds always may have access; with this arrangement it will be far cleaner in the lodg- ing rooms. I like a southern exposure. Concrete floors are better than wood, they dry quicker after washing down and I think that kennel lameness (rheumatism) is less prevalent where they are used. A hospital that can be heated is an advantage, and should be sunny. Over kennels a loft for storing rye straw and oatmeal is most convenient. A rat proof place for the oatmeal would save a lot of grain in the year. For the summer time large grass yards with shade are very good, but you can get on very well without them if hounds are walked out enough. It would be a great mistake to leave hounds in an unshaded yard during the heat of the day in summer, especially if the yards were of con- crete. Puppy Shows: Tt is a very nice thing for a Master of Beagles to hold an annual puppy show. The puppy walkers are, so to speak, the exhibitors. The show should be held in the morning, followed by a lunch. The prizes given are an incentive to the walkers, and as soon as a friendly rivalry exists among the walkers the advantages of sending puppies out to walk are bound to increase. Game: Anyone would have a poor time with a pack of beagles in a country that did not have a fair amount of game, and it is hardly fair to the hounds. Rabbits are the chief game hunted in Eastern America, and I have seen some very good hunts in New Jersey, where they seem to be very stout and were not in a great hurry to go to ground. I have seen capital hunts in Virginia on rabbits. I have seen wonderful hunts after Kansas jacks that were shipped East for the purpose and were put down a half hour or so ahead of hounds. In Westchester County, New York, several years ago I saw a 12 inch pack of 176 The Beagle in America about fourteen couples hunt a jack for over three hours with but few checks and kill in the open. . Have never seen the Maine hare or snowshoe rabbit hunted, but am told that they take a lot of killing. The rabbits in West- chester County, New York, do not stay above ground very long, and those in Dutchess County generally go to ground even sooner. A good many years ago a certain resident of Dutchess County, New York, who had money, land and a hobby for game, im- ported a great number of German hare and placed them in a preserve of 2,500 acres, which was enclosed by a wire fence 14 feet high. The fences became a bit worn and many leverets (young hares) escaped, so they soon began to breed and multi- ply and have been native to the country for years. The best fun with beagles that I have seen has been on these hares.* These hares have grown to be very stout, living in our climate ; some say stouter than the English hares. They do, however, take a lot of killing. I have seen big hounds (English fox- hounds) run for 25 minutes nearly straight and without a check- as fast as horses could gallop, hunting one of these hares, then check for a few minutes and go on for another half hour and not kill. And I have seen a hare live in front of big hounds for two hours with checks and not killed. So it is quite a feat for a 12 inch pack of beagles to kill one of these hares. Mr. Reynal's kill a few each year, and in so doing prove that they have drive, condition, stamina and courage. It is truly beautiful to see them hit a stale line (where a hare has been out feeding in the early morning) and has then laid up in her form) and slowly but surely, inch by inch, work up to and put her up. Then you need to befit yourself and a good pair of lungs are necessary. If the hare proves to be a straight necked one no man can live with them on foot; he can only run at them. A three mile point is not uncommon. These little hounds have been known to hunt the same hare for four hours. Again I make the statement that a well established pack of beagles is a great asset to any country. The Size of Beagles : This is really a matter of taste. I per- sonally prefer a 12 inch pack; it may be because I am not a very good runner. But they are plenty fast enough. I grant that it is harder to keep on breeding and keeping them to that size than a larger pack. A pack of 16 and 17 inches would give *See photo opposite this page. Mr. Reynal's heagles just before the worry. 73 ^£ >•< p ^£ «- to n ~ "i 00 o 5 c ""1 O JS m H I M £ O JO JO Mo SI 3s ij8 The Beagle in America great sport in parts of the South on grey foxes. Nearly all beagles are so very merry and cheerful in their work that they must appeal to a lover of hounds. When hunting they give one the impression that it is because they love it. A Few Hints to Hunt Staff: I should advise a man hunting hounds to draft any that be cannot trust absolutely; he might, however, be a little more lenient on bounds their first season. I should hate to have one of my field say, "There is a bound >peaking in that little cover." 1 answered, "Oh, yes, that is only old Bluebell." Well, it would be certainly better by far for your bounds if old Bluebell were among the missing. Hounds should know and like and trust a huntsman and should be suffi- ciently under control to go to him readily. When he throws them in to start to draw he should cheer them occasionally. A good hound voice is a gift and a great pleasure to hear. Some men are fortunate in having a clear and musical voice that hounds and the field can hear a long way off. The man born with it, if he is to hunt hounds, is indeed lucky. A voice can be improved and cultivated to some extent. In discussing the qualities of a hunt servant I have often heard, "Well, so and so is a very good whipper-in, but he has no voice," or "That boy we had whipping in for us last season was a good for nothing, but, my! what a voice he bad." Hounds should come readily to a. halloa and when the) go away it is the duty of the whipper-in to get all hounds on. Do t ot punish hounds when many people are about.* A whipper-in should carry one or two pairs of couples, especially during the early part of the season. , A whipper-in should put hounds to the huntsman whenever he blows for them, and with the least possible delay. In the field the. huntsman is boss, and this fact should not be forgotten.** Speaking of horns, 1 like the English far better than the old-fashioned American cow horn, believing it to be easier to blow, carries further, has a more cheery note, and is much better looking and easier to carry. Livery: Beagling coats are a dark green and most Masters have their distinctive colors; some have a distinctive button with initials or monograms on them. The cap is black velvet and soft. Most people wear golf stockings, some preferring heavy shoes with hob nails. I personally like high and very *See photo opposite page 178, The Vernon Place Beagles. *See photo opposite ;>ucre 170, The Fairfied Co. Beagles. i8o The Beagle in America heavy sneakers ; they are easier to run in than the leather shoes and far handier when climbing rail fences or stone walls. Spats are a great protection from the briars ; canvass ones are light and good looking and easy to wash. What is worth doing at all is certainly worth doing as well as you can, so I strongly feel that a Master should turn himself and his hunt staff out as well as possible. Many wear breeches and leather gaiters; I think that the gaiters are too stiff for easy running and are scratched by the briars. Breeches bind the legs to some extent. I prefer white corduroy* or moleskin knickerbockers, with ank- lets* of brown canvas, because they bind the instep less than spats and afford fully as much protection from the briars. The knickers with a strap and buckle below knee are a little less binding than breeches, but not cmite as smart. Man}' prefer a white stock. I think a white soft collar and white tie (four in hand) looks nearly as well and is more com- fortable. Gloves should be a part of the livery. Whips are necessary : I like a thong about 4y 2 feet long, not too heavy, but with a good belly to it, and a green snapper, a short, straight crop of about 20 inches covered with leather is Aery good. Keeper should be double. Stud Book: In England beagles are listed with the Associa- tion of Masters of Harriers and Beagles in their Kennel Stud Book ; a volume is gotten out each year. I feel sure that this is by far the best method for owners of packs, and should think it would appeal to owners of a few hounds as well. Registration with the A. K. C. (American Kennel Club) is the only official record that I know of in the East for dogs in general; but I do not know that that organization has ever been of any benefit to hounds. A man may have 25 couples of puppies in a year and he is hardly apt to register them all, hence there are likely to be many hounds grow up that have no official record. It would certainly be rather expensive to spend fifty dollars to register, ?nd the only advantage would be in order to show at an A. K. C. show, and many of these puppies might not be show specimens. The following is a copy of Page 24 of the 1919 Kennel Stud Book, Association of Masters of Harriers and Beagles: *See photograph of the Vernon Place Beagles, opposite page ITS. + See photo opposite page 172, The Wheatley Beagles. 1 82 The Beagle in America The Leigh Park.

Constable's Boxer, 1915 ......Hazel, 1916 Harvester Harmony Hasty To explain the system will say that the 2> l / 2 couples (seven) hounds in left hand column above constitute the 1919 entry from The Leigh Park. A hound is dated the year he enters, and NOT the year in which he is whelped. A hound takes the kennel name from the pack with which he is first entered and always is known by such. For instance: The Leigh Park Bracelet 1919 carries the same name no matter who may own her in after years. Solomon 1914 is The Leigh Park Solomon 1914 and the same for the four dams. If Solomon had entered with any other pack the name would have been added. "Har- vester" is a fairly common hound name and there might be 20 Harvesters entered in 1919, but The Leigh Park Harvester 1919 could never be mistaken for any other. I am very strongly in favor of naming hounds with words of two or three syllables ; they are far easier to call and are more musical than names such as Jack, Sport, Bess, etc. Many packs name their puppies with the same letter as the bitch, for in- stance above, puppies from Hazel 1916 are Harlequin, Har- vester, Harmony and Hasty, all capital hound names. Does the Pack Owner Gain Anything by Sending His Hounds to Dog Shows in America? This is a good subject for debate. 1 shall ask the reader to be the judge. Suppose Mr. Smith owned a pack of beagles and has been hunting them from about the middle of September to January 1st; a hard winter sets in and owing to deep snow hunting is out of the question. The Westminster Kennel Club Show is to be held in February. Mr. Smith talks it over with Jack, his kennel huntsman, and decides that they will show a few hounds in the single classes, also five couples in the pack class. They decide that they are will- ing to risk their hounds getting sick and can afford the necessary- expenses. For several weeks before the decision to show had been reached Mr. Smith had spent much time in town ; things were very slow and quiet at the kennels and Jack had felt a bit o ■n H X PI z > H o 2 > r CD > o H C a f "o r to The Beagle in America discouraged. But now that he is to show his favorites he im- mediately takes on a renewed interest in his duties, and is look- ing forward to making the best possible showing. The Master orders new liveries for the event, and they both look forward with pleasure to meeting many old friends at the show and see- ing a wonderful lot of hounds. They will probably decide to breed a few bitches to some of the hounds they see, as they had long been in need of outside blood. Now it may be that they had thought that no one had hounds as good as theirs, and some of the conceit may be taken out of them. It may be that Mr. Smith's hounds are the best; if so, he is certainly doing other masters a great favor in giving them the chance to see his hounds. No matter how much one may know of hounds, there is always something to be learned. I am taking it for granted that the judge is a real hound man and, of course, fair in his decisions. The above are some of the advantages. Please bear in mind that the show qualities of a hound are very secondary to his working qualities. The beagle is not a show dog, but is a hound and is bred to work. I do not understand how any dog show can consider giving classes for other than two sorts of hounds : Entered and unentered. The American Kennel Club is the governing body for prac- tically all dog shows in America, and probably functions very well as such. They see fit to have a rule that certain classes shall be given, such as puppy, novice, limit, open, etc., etc. I do not think that such classes are for the best interests of hounds, as they are an incentive for owners to place too much importance on show qualities. Mr. Smith has an old hound. Gamester 19 — , that has done six seasons ; he has been an extra good hound in his work, but has never been shown. Naturally, he is a great favorite. On account of never having been shown he is considered a novice, and is entered in the class of that name. Mr. Brown also comes to the show and has entered Grasper in the novice class. Now Grasper is a very good type, but has not done any work, he is about a year and a half old and shows no signs of wear and tear. He rightfully beats Gamester and I feel that Mr. Smith, good sportsman that he is, would be perfectly justified in being \ ery sore. On the other hand, if Grasper had done as much work as Gamester 19 — and then beat him, Mr. Smith would take his defeat with a smile, and would be the first to congratu- late Mr. Brown, and would be willing to admit that the class was well judged. The Beagle in America 185 I feel that the following classes are far better adapted for hounds than the A. K. C. classes: The Peterborough Harrier and Beagle Show, 1914 (Under the Rules of the Asso. of Harriers and Beagles) CLASS XVI.

First Second A Champion Cup for the best single bitch hounds of any age. CLASS XXIII. A silver cup for the best registered bitch, not less than a second season hunter, certified to have been the dam of living puppies. First Second CLASS XX IV. For the best three couples of hounds, of either sex and any age, from any one kennel. First Second Judging of Pack Classes at Field Trials: I feel that it would be a very great benefit to have one judge at least of the Pack Classes, a man who has hunted a pack of hounds himself. This man might not in any way be qualified to judge the other events, but he should be a great aid to men who were not in the habit of seeing hounds work in a pack. An old huntsman, even though he had been a foxhound man, would be especially fitted for the work; he would understand manners and control, he would appreciate hounds that drew well, he would immediately detect a babbler or a skirter, or a hound running mute. He would also appreciate good work under difficult conditions and hounds having good noses and plenty of drive. I should think that men who had not had this experience, and who were per- forming the very difficult task of judging at a Field Trial, would ask for a man having had this experience to help them in the Pack events. A Good Book on Hounds: There is much valuable informa- tion to be learned from "Hunting," The Haddon Hall Library, by I. Otho Paget. Esq., for many years Master of a well known pack of Beagles in England — The Thorpe Satchville. In conclusion will say that a man can start a pack on a far more modest scale than I have outlined above; he might start with eight or ten couples and in a very short time breed as large a pack as he needed. #%" m. k ^mmm-4: ■•"•njE ARTHUR LITTLE Huntsman Wheatlej Kennels, Roslyn, Long Island. N. "i BENCH SHOWS CONDITION AND HANDLING BY ARTHUR LITTLE HUNTSMAN WHEATLEY KENNELS, ROSLYN, N. Y. THERE is a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction in owning a beagle that is good to look upon, and more so if he is above the average beagle in conforming to the standard of the breed. While primarily we want the beagle for field work, he must be a well built, strong and health} specimen in order to attain the highest point of perfection. For that reason we have bench shows. The purpose of the bench show is the improvement of the breed. Besides, in the months between hunting seasons they are something to look forward to, and also tend to keep your hounds in the best of condition at all times. If you have a good looking beagle, don't be afraid to show him, thereby giving others the chance to also see him. Any owner who has confidence enough in the merits of his beagles to desire to show them, must bear in mind that ex- cellence in symmetry and formation will probably be thrown away if condition is bad. For exhibition purposes condition is everything. A first-class specimen, however grand he may be in many points, if his eyes are dull and listless and his coat ragged, cannot fail to suffer from comparison with a dog, which though perhaps inferior in some points, is lively and vivacious, thereby showing himself off to the best advantage when he is in the ring before the judges. The latter should — even if they do not always — judge a dog as he is before them, not reckoning what his performances have been or what merit he may develop with i go The Beagle in America age. In getting up a dog for the bench show, therefore, an owner should try and make him look his best, never losing sight of the purposes for which the breed exists, and trying to bring his hound into the ring not only looking well, but lit to do his duty. A sporting dog looks ludicrous when he appears fat and fiabby, and displays to everyone how utterly incapable he would be of doing half a day's work. Experience can only be bought by practice, but here is a notable fact for the benefit of beginners, viz: that the most suc- cessful exhibitors of any breed have been those whose dogs J o.>? vA * ^llbSSrJsaJPfe WIXDHOLME S BARTENDER have been shown in the best condition. To attain this desired end is difficult and means lots of work and time ; by following certain rules, however, great progress can be made, and if due attention is paid to feeding, exercising and grooming, your hound will be vastly improved in both health and appearance. In selecting hounds for show, pick those with good type and good heads. In other words he must be a show dog before you The Beagle in America igi start to get him ready. Also select hounds of the same general conformation and color. In getting up dogs for show allow yourself if possible six weeks' time to prepare. Select the dogs you intend showing from your pack and keep them separate from the rest of the pack. The first thing to do is to thoroughly worm them. Re- member the most important part of worming is to thoroughly starve your dog first. Feed your dog in the morning and give him worm medicine the following morning, using any of the recognized preparations. See that they have a good, clean piace to live, free from draughts, and give them plenty of clean straw for bedding. Hunt them if you wish, being careful not to expose them to hardships unnecessarily. Do not hunt them the last week or ten days before a show so that they will not be all cut up with briers. Feeding. Feed your hounds well twice a day, morning and evening, feeding soft and mushy foods. Of the vegetables we use prin- cipally beets, carrots and cereals ; good, rich soups with plenty of meat and vegetables. Milk is also an important thing to feed at this time. Change the diet of your hounds from day to da\ . About two or three times a week add a tablespoonful of Blaud's Mass to the pot of food while cooking. A tablespoonful is enough for ten dogs. Blaud's Mass is a tonic preparation which can be bought either as a paste or powder from any druggist. Cod Liver oil is most efficacious in its effects on hounds. A tablespoonful a day will put flesh on him and add a great deal to the condition of his coat. Bear in mind to keep more flesh on your hounds for show than you would for the field trial. A week before the show feed carefully so that your hounds are all of the same weight and condition. Exercising. Hounds for show should be exercised on the road two hours a day. I generally ride a horse or bicycle for this work, packing the hounds behind me, and using macadamized roads, as it puts the hound's feet in fine condition, bringing them upon their toes and wearing the nails down, besides making them good and strong and well muscled. The last two weeks be careful to 1Q2 The Beagle in America avoid your hounds getting cold or wet. This will tend more than anything else to ruin any work you do on the condition of his coat. Your hounds must be trained to lead on a leash. The best wa}f to teach them is to start when they are puppies. Chain your puppies to a wall, using a short chain preferably. Leave CH. BELRAY CORA them this way for a couple of hours and do it every day until they get used to it. A show dog can easily be spoiled as a puppy by putting a leash on him and pulling him along, in other words cowering him into it. If you chain him first to the wall and then gradually teach him to lead, he won't get sore on anybody but himself and breaks himself to a lead. In the same manner teach them to lead on couplings. Always couple a young dog to an old gentle bitch and a young bitch to an old gentle dog when first starting them. This also holds good when The Beagle in America '93 teaching young hounds to enter a pack. Packs should be trained to heel in an enclosure about fifty to one hundred feet square. Have at least two whips to start. Keep right after every hound and keep him heeled. Heel them first on couplings and gradu- ally get them accustomed to heel without couplings. Do not take them on the road until thoroughly broken to pack. Do not be discouraged if in the beginning they break on you, but CH. IMP. STOKE PLACE SAPPER get them back in the yard and try all over again. Discipline them if necessary. Never let a hound be disobedient, because if you let him get away with it once he will try it every time he gets the chance. Nothing looks worse than a pack over which there is no control. Grooming. Hounds should be groomed twice a day if possible. Have a bench in your kennel that is just the right height for you to comfortably handle your dog. Always use the same bench, and your hounds will become anxious to be groomed and jump on the bench when you call them. Brush your hounds with a hound iQ4 The Beagle in America glove which comes for this purpose. In the beginning you can brush in all directions until you get all the dead coat out. Then brush from the head to the feet. In other words brush with the hair. You will be amazed what a rich gloss the coat of your hound will show in a week or two of brushing. While they are on the bench pose them as you would for the show ring. Have him with his head up, stern up and legs straight. In setting a dog on the bench, lift his front legs off the bench gently with one hand under the brisket and the other hand under the jaw and set him down so that his legs are straight. Then take the hand from under the brisket, and lift him by the stern and set him so that his hind legs are straight. Then push him gently forward so that he stands on his toes. Take your hands away and make him hold his position. If you train him properly he will hold his position as long as you want him to. When you are grooming your hounds, teach them all the points of the show ring such as leading, showing and posing. Keep their eyes good and clear. See that they have no dis- charges from them. Use boracic acid or 1%- solution argyrol for any discharges of the eyes. Also examine their teeth. Hounds will accumulate a green stain at the base of their teeth, sometimes on only a few teeth. This stain can be removed by painting with tincture of iodine, and then rubbing with a little wet powdered pumice stone on an orange stick. This is a small point, but remember, a judge examines your dog's teeth among other things. As to washing hounds before a show, if a hound is fed good, well groomed and has clean bed- ding he won't need washing. When sending dogs to a show procure good crates. Any of the recognized makes are good. See that they have plenty of clean straw and food attached to crate if the trip is long. Route your dogs through the quickest way or better still go out the same time as your dogs. At the Show. Always get to a dog show in plenty of time. Make it the day before if possible. Get your dogs out of their crates as soon as possible so that they can stretch themselves. Lead your dogs around the show grounds, so that they become accustomed to the grounds and other dogs. If you do this your dog will have confidence and therefore show better. See that the benches f:re well bedded and adjust your chain so that the dog cannot iq6 The Beagle in America jump off the bench or hang himself. Take your dogs off the bench and exercise them three or four times a day. When your class is called be ready, and have your dog in the ring promptly, first if possible. Don't carry your dog into the ring. Make him walk in like a regular dog. If he can't walk in through the spectators and take care of himself he don't deserve to be shown. Get your entry number card from the ring steward and don't forget your number. From the time you enter the ring until your class is judged show your dog to the best advantage at all times keeping your dog before the judge's eye. This is very important. Even when the judge is looking at the other dogs, don't get in the corner and maybe talk to some friends outside the ring. When the judge calls for your dog on the bench get him there quickly. Pose him on the bench. A dog should not be posed in the ring, but as it is done at most dog shows and the other fellow does it you must do it in order to beat him. Tsing bread or meat (liver is best) to draw your dog's attention is permissible, but be careful you do not drop it on the floor, because he will then put his head down to find it and you will have a hard time getting him in position again. As soon as the judge makes his awards, get out of the ring quickly, returning your number card to the ring steward. In showing couples in the ring, have an assistant hold them on the leads and you stand in front of them with a piece of liver to call their attention. Keep them even and close together. In showing couples on the bench bear in mind that they must be matched as to color, height and general conformation. A couple of hounds, no matter how good they are as individuals, if they differ as to height or color will never win over a perfectly matched pair. Packs. In showing packs on the bench, five couples constitute a pack. At the National Beagle Club Bench Show at the trials, eight couples are usually shown. Hounds must be as near alike as is possible : all the same height, color and general appearance. Packs must be shown with master and whipper-in, whose ap- pointment must be perfect. The correct costume for a master of beagles is a black velvet hunting cap, a dark green coat with buttons carrying the letters of the hunt, and collar with the colors of the hunt, a white stock tie with a plain pin, white cord or linen breeches, long green stockings, black or brown anklets The Beagle in America igj and white gloves. A copper or silver hunting horn is carried carelessly in the bosom of the hunting coat and fastened with a strap to the top button. He also carries a brown thonged crop with the tassel the color of the hunt. CH. FANNHALL MERRYMAID The whipper-in should be dressed the same, except that he does not carry a horn, but carries on a strap crossed over the shoulder the couplings neatly rolled up. All judges differ on iq8 The Beagle in America methods of judging packs. Have your pack perfectly trained and under perfect control and it won't make any difference what paces the judge puts them through. There is no prettier sight than a well handled pack of beagles in a show ring. Especially when there are four or five packs competing. There is no greater pleasure or compensation for the work it entails than to have a pack of beagles and win with them. Let me repeat in closing that in order to win on the bench you must try and do just a little more work on your hounds than the other fellow. CH. IMP. FRANTIC MY TRIBUTE TO THE BEAGLE BY WILLET RANDALL When the summer days are over, With the fields no longer green; And the lavish hand of Nature, Daubs her war-paint on the screen; There's a thrilling recreation, Born of ages long since dead, That revives our dormant spirits As we through the woodlands tread.

OTHO PAGET MASTER OF HOUNDS THORP- SATCHVILLE BEAGLES BURROUGH, MELTON MOWBRAY LEICESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND THE EVOLUTION OF THE BEAGLE. Mr. Prentice has honored me by inviting my assistance in the production of his book on the beagle, but I hope he will not be held responsible for the opinions herein expressed. The actual origin of the beagle is lost amongst the dim mists of ancient days and no research can ever bring a truthful history to light. Everyone has therefore a perfect right to form his own independent idea of the type of hound used by Alfred the Great for hunting, when that celebrated king was not engaged in fighting or baking cakes. I think we may take it for granted that, in the days of the bow and arrow, hunting would be more popular than shooting, with sportsmen of tho^e times, so that the breed of dog which hunted by scent would be preferred. During the Roman occupa- tion of this island, it is more than likely the scattered legions, in their various garrisons, would amuse themselves with hunt- ing, and that they would have brought with them from Rome zo6 The Beagle in England hounds of some sort. According to Xenophon, there were hounds that hunted by scent in his day, and the Romans ac- quired many of the sports of ancient Greece. There were, how- ever, in England packs of hounds before the time of the Romans and it is on record that Pwyll, Prince of Wales, a contemporary cf King Arthur, had a special breed of white hounds of great excellence. Wales to this day is still celebrated for its hounds, generally of a light color. ff& v_^» THE HALSTEAD PLACE "CHALLENGER," 1909 1st Prize Stallion Hound (Beagles), Peterborough, 1914 Admirers of shooting dogs, setters, spaniels and other breeds, have had the audacity to assert that those inferior latter day animals were used in building up the hound. By the exercise of a little thought it will be seen that this must be wrong and in fact it is the other way about. The hound was the original progenitor of all sporting dogs. The two distinct breeds would be the gaze or greyhound, and the hound that relied entirely on its nose. Let us come down to a somewhat later date, and perhaps it would be as well to start with the days of good Queen Bess, The Beagle in England before the Mayflower carried John Hampden's friend across the herring pond. I think by then nearly every country gentleman, or at least one in each district, kept a pack of hounds of some sort and hunted the animal of his choice — at that period the fox was not an honored beast of the chase. The large sort were (ailed buck hounds, and the smaller variety were called beagles, from the French "begle." The buck hounds were chiefly in the hands of the crown and principal nobles, the chase of the deer being then a royal prerogative. STOKE PLACE "ARCHIE," 1903 Champion Stallion Hound (Bea*jlesJ t'eterborough, 1904, The hare was generally the most popular quarry, and a breed of hounds most suitable for hunting that animal was eventually produced. With no railway facilities to get an interchange of blood, and with each owner of hounds having different ideas as to what he wanted, it can easily be seen that in course of time, packs would show various marked differences in type and size. We may, however, be fairly certain that the majority of sportsmen would select and breed from those hounds which had the best noses and were good in their work. 2o8 The Beagle in England Coming down to the middle of the eighteenth century we have more reliable evidence to go upon. Somerville, Beckford and "Essays on Hunting" by an author unknown, help us to form a fairly accurate idea of the hounds then in use, but even at that late date, it is necessary to supplement their written words with the aid of common sense and imagination. That these men were authorities on hounds and hunting is easy to see, but it is impossible to suppose that they were acquainted wfth all the various packs in England. Fox hunting was then becoming popular with the younger generations of men, who wanted something quicker and more exhilarating than watching hounds puzzling out the intricate windings of a hare. The foxhound was undoubtedly evolved from a mixture of buckhound and beagle. By this time the vagaries of breeders had produced two distinct types of hare hunting hounds, one of which was called the southern hound and the other the north country beagle. The former was slow and ponderous, with long ears and deep voice, whilst the other, according to the author of the Essay was the exact opposite. Here is his description : "The North country beagle is nimble and vigorous and does his business as furiously as Jehu himself ^an wish him." These were undoubtedly the two extreme types which had been developed from the same original stock, through being bred in distant parts of the country for several generations, but it is easy to understand that packs existed which combined the best qualities of both — the happy medium, for which we all strive. The writer of the Essay was evidently also acquainted with the smaller beagle, as he says, "There is yet another sort in great favor with small gentry, because they eat but little : These, as their noses are very tender and not far from the ground, I have often seen to make tolerable sport, but without great care they are flirting and maggoty and very apt to chaunt and chatter on any or no occasion." "Maggoty" in those times meant capricious or full of whims and a hound of the kind that could not be trusted. "Chaunting" was doubtless babbling and fiom that we may gather some breeder of small hounds had bred from parents with those faults. I think we may accept it as a proved fact that by the middle of the eighteenth century, there were beagles varying in size from twenty-two inches to five, and in spite of this difference, were all descended from the same stock. There is ample evi- dence to prove that the beagle, which was spread over the whole of England and Wales, had been bred with such different ends 210 The Beagle in England in view that there were hounds of various shapes, sizes and colors. In the face of this evidence there are people today who lay down the law about what they call "the correct type" and the '"old fashioned beagle." Here is where I am going to disagree with many admirers of the beagle, and perhaps tread on the corns of my friends in America, but we are all entitled to have our opinions. The way I look at it is this, that the beagle is a hound, and the hare was for generations the quarry he was bred to hunt. The hound that has the best nose and shoulders; is persevering, patient and stout; has a good voice, gets on with the scent and does not lie on the line; has no such fault as babbling, skirting or running mute, that is the animal yon want to breed from, no matter what his type. The individual owner may have a liking for iwhat he is pleased to call a "well denned stop," a prominent eye and long, thin ears, but unless the hound possessed of these points acquits himself with distinction in the hunting field, he should be hung before he has time to transmit his imperfections. The Beagle Club in England, or I suppose some of the mem- bers, did take it on themselves to lay down a hard and fast scale of points, but 1 think very few judges took any notice of them. The show-bench has done its best to ruin many of our sporting breeds, and I protest strongly against it being allowed to spoil the beagle, but if the faddists who keep hounds to look at and not for hunting, have a voice in the matter, the breed will soon lose some of its best qualities in the field. The end of the eighteenth century found the popularity of tht beagle on the wane and the establishment of foxhound packs \.\ every county supplied the poorer gentry with all the hunting they wanted. Although a few packs were kept up, there was great danger at that time of the little hound disappearing altogether and becoming extinct. I may be wrong, but think we are largely indebted for the preservation of the beagle to the farmers and landowners of the southern counties. In Sussex and Hampshire, it was the custom to keep packs of beagles for driving the rabbits to the gun — a base and ignoble duty for the descendants of the packs our ancestors cherished, but had it been otherwise much valu- able blood would have passed out of existence. In the less rideable parts of Ireland and amongst the Welch hills, beagle packs still existed, which helped to supply hounds when the revival commenced. The Beagle in England In the middle of the nineteenth century Parson Honeywood got together a very good pack and showed some excellent sport in Essex. I date his pack as the beginning of the beagle revival, and nearly every well known pack at a subsequent date owed its origin to that blood. The colored engraving "The Merry Beaglers," is as familiar to American sportsmen as it is to any- HALSTEAD PLACE FLAGRANT (H. P. Monarch -Fanciful) cne in England, and will preserve for all time the name of the Rev. Philip Honeywood. Now this picture has been mentioned, I should like to draw the attention of those sticklers for the one particular type to the different hounds portrayed. Although I have very little faith in any artist at that date being correct in detail, the owner of the hounds would take care that he did not go far wrong, and we may assume that the picture gives us a fair idea of what they looked like. The Beagle in* England Necks and shoulders seem to me to have been their chief assets, and I warrant they were able to move. A good shoulder is the most important feature in the confirmation of either horse or hound. The colors of the hounds would most certainly be faithfully painted, and it will be noticed that no dark tans are there. I admit the beauty and attractiveness of what is called the "Belvoir tan," but the craze for that color has been the means of eliminating- some of the best hunting blood both in beagles and foxhounds. The further history of the beagle I will deal with in another chapter. U^ THE HALSTEAD PLACE "CONTEST," 1909 1st Prize Stallion Hound (Beagles), Peterborough, 1913 The Harrier and Beagle Association in England have fixed sixteen inches as the standard not to be exceeded by beagles. If a pack of fifteen-inch hounds cannot kill a hare nearly every time they go out they are not much good. Personally I prefer thirteen inches, but fourteen inches is big enough for any coun- try, and hounds of that size ought to be able to go all day in deep plough or rough woodland. It behooves me as an Englishman, writing for an American book, to point out some of the differences that exist in the hunt- The Beagle in England 213 ing methods of the two countries. From my slight experience in the United Stales, I found that hares and rabbits were classed alike, both being known under the latter name. The hare in England is born with eyes open and the hair on, whereas the rabbit is born blind and comes into the world naked. They are two distinct species and a cross between them is a hybrid. I imagine that although the animal which is hunted in the Ameri- can field trials resembles our rabbit, it is in reality a small variety of the hare (lepus). THE TRINITY FOOT "FORESTER," 1906. Champion Stallion Hound (Beagles), Peterborough, l"n. v . The English hare has been hunted now for many generations, and has inherited an instinct of cunning that adds zest to the triumph of its final capture. It also possesses great strength and staying power, so that, when not bustled at the start, a chase will often last from two to three hours. Small beagles for this kind of hunting must therefore be built on true lines, or they will tire before the hare. In America I understand people often keep a couple of hounds which they use for driving game to the gun, and of course in 214 The Beagle in England that case, extra good hunting qualities are not brought into play. A very moderate hound will run and hunt well whilst the scent of the animal pursued is fresh, but it requires a good nose combined with patience and perseverance, to pick out the faint line of a beaten hare. If my American friends will forgive me, I should like to point out this as one of the essential differences between the aims of breeders in the two countries. Many more qualities are required for breeding a perfect pack of beagles to hunt the hare in Eng- land, than would be necessary in the work of single hounds in A merica. I have never yet had the pleasure of attending a field trial in America, and am therefore not entitled to form an opinion, but it appears to me that putting down two strange hounds to hunt together, may not bring out the best points of either. However good a hound may be in his own pack, he may very likely hesitate to go to the cry of an unfamiliar voice, the owner of which may, for all he knows, be a liar. Then an inveterate skirter might shine with only one hound to compete against, and skirting is one of the worst faults that can be brought against the members of a pack. Independence is also a fault which I should think would be difficult to detect. If the day happened to be good for scent, a hound with only a fair nose might run well, which, in less favorable conditions, might not be able to own the line. These are some of the rea- sons that occur to me which make the field trial a not infallible test of merit, but it must be very interesting to watch and doubt- less assists in keeping good hunting blood to the fore. Perhaps its greatest use is in eliminating the show-bench beagle, whose only pretensions to being a hound rests on his appearance. The first lot of hounds I sent to America went to Mr. William Iselin of New York, and a very good lot they were. The next I think, were some I sold to Mr. James Kernochan and amongst them was Florist, which I understand proved a very successful sire. He was a trifle too big for me and to my mind rather flat sided. The best hound I sold to Mr. Kernochan was Leader, by Monitor-Lawless, but his color, badger pie, was not then popular in America, and I fear he was neglected, but I am quite certain that hp would have got first rate sto»:k, both for looks and work. With him went a hound called Truman, which I heard did some winning, but I knew nothing of his breeding and had only a poor opinion of his work. Amongst the bitches The Beagle in England 215 I sold to Mr. Iselin was one called Garnet and my only reason lor parting with her, was that she was too fast, but I have never ceased regretting having sold her. Since those early days I have sent many good hounds to America. Another bitch that I was sorry to have let go. was Sunbeam, to Mr. Newell Bent. MR. JOHNSON'S BISMARCK I have never heard whether she bred him anything or what became of her. I fear that many of these hounds fell into the hands of men who did not appreciate their worth and in con- sequence much valuable blood was wasted. Mr. Appleton and Mr. Reynal, however, have still some of the blood they originally bought from me. 216 The Beagle in England THE PRESENT DAY ENGLISH BEAGLE. Mr. Prentice has asked me to sketch a short history of the beagle in England, from the time of Mr. Johnson's Monarch down to the present day, which is roughly about thirty years, and also coincides with the period I have been connected with the breed. Before commencing, it would be as well to offer my apologies to the reader of this work for writing in the first person, and also for introducing hounds that I have either owned or bred, but the details about my own pack will at least have the merit cf being correct. Mr. Thomas Johnson was the nineteenth century pioneer of improvement in the beagle's appearance, and being a first-rate judge, was able to collect the material for the formation of a pack which has had great influence on the breed. Although Mr. Johnson chiefly devoted his attention to breeding a pack which should excel in looks, he was able to select hounds which had been bred for many years entirely for work. The Bronwydd (Sir Marteine Lloyd's), The Royal Rock, the Cheshire, and the North Worcestershire provided him with good hunting blood, and as those packs had either a fifteen-inch >tandard or over, he was able to secure hounds that were too ^nall for them. The debt we owe Mr. Johnson is chiefly for having recognized at once the good qualities of Bismarck, whom the Cheshire had brought over from Ireland and then drafted for lameness. His son Monarch, out of the Royal Rock Melody, took the champion cup at Peterboro for three years in succession, which is, of course, ample testimony to his good looks. From my recollection of him I should say he was a hound of great bone, substance and character. Beagles have improved in looks vastly since those days, and I fear if Monarch could return now he would have to take a back seat at Peterborough show. He was a badger-pie, a color that almost invariably denotes good hunt- ing qualities, but which I fear is not popular in America. The best bitch Mr. Johnson bred was, I think, Countess, and amongst others was a smart little bitch called Puzzle, but the credit of breeding Bangle belongs to the Cheshire. Being too small for them, they passed her on to Mr. Johnson, who sub- sequently won the cup with her at Peterboro in 1898, the posi- tion her litter sister, Cymbal, had occupied the previous year. The Beagle in England 217 Hounds are difficult enough to judge when you have them all before you, but it is an impossible task to make comparisons between individual specimens of different years, when you have to trust to memory to recall their points. Although I cannot say Bangle was the best bitch I have seen, she was certainly one of the best. Mr. Johnson very rightly set great value on the blood he had acquired, and was much averse to using stallion hounds from other kennels unless nearly related to his own. THE CHAWSTON "GUARDSMAN," 1900 Champion Stallion Hound (Beagles), Peterborough, 1906. This was all very well for a few years, but the result of such close in-breeding was bound to tell in time, and the last lot I saw before he gave up were very weed)-. The Royal Rock, the pack from which Mr. Johnson selected most of his bitches, is supposed to be the oldest established pack in England, and their blood is believed to have had its origin in stock that came from Mr. Honeywood. In my earliest recollections of the Royal Rock I recall two very useful dog hounds, Brawler and Craftsman, which might have been used bv other kennels with advantage, but unfor- 218 The Beagle in England cunately they did not appeal to most people and were neglected. I bred a very smart bitch by Brawler and always regret I did not use him again. Bellman was probably the best stallion hound the Cheshire bred, and there are few packs now that do not contain some of his blood. He was entered in 1892, but it was not until later (four years) that he won the Champion Cup at Peterboro, al- i^cugh rather curiously, his son Dauntless had anticipated his sire's success the preceding year. Bellman, a grandson of Bismarck, was responsible for many good hounds and probably one of the best was the Chawston < mardsman. This hound was quite straight, full of quality and a beautiful mover, but was rather light of bone, though Mr. \ddington assured me the longest day never tired him. and the country hunted was chiefly heavy plow. The Cheshire Bellman I think owed his good looks in a great degree to his dam, Beauty, who bred another Peterboro winner in Benedict, and was also the grand dam of two winners of the cup for the best bitch at Peterboro, viz.. Cymbal and Mr. John- son's Bangle. In 1900 the cup for hast dog hound was won by the Hulton Camester which was by Mr. Johnson's Finder, out of Gypsy by the Cheshire Dauntless, out of Graceful, the latter a very beau- tiful bitch. It was in that same year the Chawston won in the class for couple of bitches with Cobweb and Roguish, also win- ning the cup with the former. Both these bitches were by the Rodmersham Topper, a hound of exceptional merit, quite straight and with lots of bone. I tried to buy him in 1892, to send with others to Mr. W. Iselin in New York, but could not persuade his then owner, Mr. Mercer, to part. It was in 1901 that the Chawston Guardsman won the Cham- pion Cup, and then four years later he met the Hulton Gamester in the stallion hound class when he had to put up with second place, though successful in 1906 for that class, defeating the Surbiton Prompter. In 1902 the Stoke Place began to be prominent in the prize list at Peterboro, and their Marksman won the cup that year, but I cannot remember much about the hound now. The fol- 1< wing year the same pack again took the cup, and on that occasion the winner was Archie, by the Chawston Guardsman. This was a very beautiful hound, but lacking in masculine char- acter, a most important point in any animal that is to become The Beagle in England 2IQ a sire. Archie was not a successful stallion hound, and from what I could gather he was not altogether a shining light in the hunting field, but there was a soft strain on the dam's side which must have neutralized the good qualities of his sire. WOODDALE "REVELLER," A., 1917. Champion Stallion Hound (Beagles), Peterborough, 1909. Here let me ask my American friends to take warning by this example, and beware of using hounds that have been kept for show, instead of for work. Archie's dam was by a very good looking sire, but he had never been asked to prove his worth in a hard day's hunting. Americans when they buy hounds from this country very naturally try to get them as good look- ing as possible, but I fear they do not always ascertain whether the sires and dams are good workers. The result is that many hounds have gone to the United States which ought to have been hung. Although Trinity College were the owners of Magistrate when he won the cup in 1904, the credit of breeding the hound belongs to the Stoke Place. Magistrate was a very powerful The Beagle in England hound and got some good stock, but there is no doubt his shoul- ders were inclined to be heavy. This fault, I must confess, was the result of a mistake I made when I first started beagles. At that time I bought a very good draft from the Stockton, and amongst them was a bitch called Primrose, with great bone, but shocking bad shoulders. As she was straight with good feet and plenty of bone, I hoped to correct her defects by using a dog with exceptional shoulders named Dreamer. A very prom- ising litter was the result, but the original defect of the dam would crop up. The Trinity Magistrate was by the Stoke Place Monitor, by the Bronwydd Marplot, out of their Pastime, which was by their Pilgrim. The latter hound I bred myself and he had many good points, but he inherited from his grand dam — the afore mentioned Primrose — her bad shoulders. The Surbiton Prompter was another good hound with heavy shoulders, and he had also inherited them from the same source, being a grandson of the Bronwydd Pilgrim. I have told this story against myself for the benefit of younger men, and to illustrate the results which will assuredly come from any laxtt] in the selection of breeding stock. In 1904 Mr. James Russel started the Halstead Place pack and the following year he took the cup with Searcher. No one before had ever met with such instant and brilliant success, but that success was not temporary, and continued to the outbreak of the war, when to everyone's regret the pack were disbanded. From 1905 to 1914 the Halstead Place carried off the cup for the best dog five times, which is a record in the annals of Peterboro. In the other five years the cup was lifted by the Halton Ranter, the Christ Church Boaster, The Trinity College, Forman, The Worcester Park Lucifer and the Leigh Park Danger. Ranter was a son of Gamester and inherited his sire's good qualities. Boaster, I cannot remember, but as he has not left many descendants it does not matter. Trinity Forester was a fair hound with many good points and I believe left some useful descendents. Lucifer did not appeal to me, though he was straight and had plenty of bone. Danger was a very smart hound with lots of quality, but perhaps lack- ing in bone. I have not yet seen any of his progeny, but I expect they will be good, though he will have lost time and opportunities through few hounds being bred during the war. He was by the Wooddale Publican and I bred his grand dam The Beagle in England Dorothy. The Wooddale Publican does not figure in the prize list at Peterboro, not being eligble on account of his dam, but has left behind him some extraordinary good stock, both for looks and work. There are two strains of harrier in Publican, not the harrier of foxhound parentage, but the old fashioned sort which had hunted hare for generations, and as I have endeavored to show, is a near relation of the beagle. Mr. Goff, the late master of the Wooddale, is much too good a sportsman to introduce blood into the beagle except for improvement, and those who have- any of this strain may rest assured it had the best of credentials in the hunting field. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, ?nd no pack of its size has such a good record of kills as the Wooddale. Unfortunately they are now dispersed and their late master is condemned to hunting rats in a hedgerow. Pub- lican's grandsire was a hound it was almost impossible to fault, t-xcept for color which was that unpleasant chocolate tinge. Reveller, though not eligible to compete for the champion cup at Peterboro, took the cup for the best stallion hound in 1909, but his services as a sire were unfortunately not available for long, an express train cutting short his career. He was one of the many good sons of that successful sire, the Halstead Place Searcher. The moment has now arrived when I must write of this hound and of others belonging to the same pack. Mr. Russel and Halstead Place will forever be identified with the name of Searcher in the beagle world. I think it may be of interest to readers of this book to have an extended pedigree of a hound that has exerted such a wide influence over the breed, and the blood of which may be found in nearly every kennel in England, as well as in America. Searcher was, I think, the best hound I have ever seen. His head was the only part about him that did not quite satisfy me, but that is a minor detail. I have already given my opinion about having a hard and fast scale of points. The shape of the head is immaterial to me, square on top, domed or pointed matters not, if the hound is good in conformation, well balanced and satisfactory in his work. There is, however, something in the expression of a hound that is difficult to define, and impossible to include in a scale of points. There is no harm in each having his individual fancy about the shape of a beagle's head, but it is absurd to The Beagle in England expect other breeders to be bound by such fancies. Somerville gives rather a nice description of impression in "The Chase." ". . . See there with count'nance blithe And with a courtly grin, the fawning hound Salutes thee cowering, his wide opening nose Upwards he curls, and his large sloe-back eyes Melt in soft blandishments and humble ioy." Personally, I prefer the beagle to be of a kind and cheery dis- position, but that is merely a fad of mine. THE WORCESTER PARK "LUCIFER," UOJ. 1st Prize Stallion Hound (Beagles), Peterborough, 1911. This is a digresson and we will return to the Halstead pack. Mr. Russel was, forunately, not tied down in starting for want of money, and if he really liked a hound, he did not mind pay- ing a good pn'oe, but he showed excellent judgment and made very few mistakes. Much of his success was due to his excellent selection of bitches, the Chawston Roguish being responsible for two winners of cups for best bitch, with Rachel in 1906 and Relish in 1919. Chorus he bought from me at Leicester sale and The Beagle in England 223 she was the dam of Careless, a cup winner, as well as Chancellor, who was the sire of Comrade, Challenger, Craftsman and Clinker, all four winning the champion cup in their respective years. Chancellor was a son of Searcher and worthily upheld the honours of his sire. Before finishing with this pack, I ought not omit mention of Forager, a hound Mr. Russel bought in 1904 when he first started. Although not quite straight, Forager was a rare good sort and justified his purchase by getting very excellent stock. He was bred by the Pettings (Mr. Hulkes) by Prater-Frantic. Prater being by the Cheshire Clinker out of Mr. Johnson's Puzzle, a very smart bitch already mentioned, whilst Frantic was by my Cruiser out of the Candleshoe Fruitful. Of course. Forager was overshadowed by Searcher, and perhaps did not get the same opportunities as that illustrous hound, but he left some first rate stock behind him. Your very painstaking editor has asked me to add to what I have already written and to amplify my notes on the various packs. The fear of taking up too much space and of boring readers of this book with details of past history, was my reason for only sketching an outline of the years that are gone. How- ever, the intelligent breeder of hounds and also the enthusiast can never know too much about the ancestors of his pack, and there is no need to apologize to him for dipping deeper into the chronicles of bygone days. There have been numerous other packs not mentioned here, which flourished for a season or two only and then disappeared, but my intention is to select those which have had a direct influence on the breed, leaving an impress on their descendants scattered over England and America. The Bronwydd. Sir Martin Lloyd, Bt. Although the Royal Rock have the credit of being the oldest established pack, I always look on this as being the one which has contributed more than any other to the excellence of the present day beagle. Sir Thomas Lloyd started the hounds in 1846, and the present baronet carried them on until his numerous other duties obliged him to give them up in 1897. This was the breakup of the 224 The Beagle in England original pack, and though beagles were kept in later years they were, I think, maintained by annual purchases and not by breeding. I bought most of the hounds in couples in 1897, and several went to Mr. J. L. Kernochan of Hempstead, Long Island. Amongst those was Merryboy, which had won the champion cup at Peterboro in 1894. A very nice hound this, of great bone and strength, but with not the best of shoulders, a point in which the Bronwydd usually excelled. Most of these hounds were much too big for me, averaging between fifteen and sixteen inches, but I was so much impressed with Forester that I used him to several bitches before passing him on. Unfortunately through distemper and other causes most of the pups died, but one named Feudal survived which was the sire of Cicero, the best hound for work I ever bred. Fenian and Forester were shown in the couple class at Peter- boro in 1891, but though they did not take a prize, they were commended and to my mind were the best type of beagle in the show. There was very little to chose between the two brothers, but Sir Martin had evidently preferred Fenian, as he had used him pretty freely and neglected the other. I sold both hounds to a man who was just starting a pack and who shortly afterwards gave them up, when they disappeared and some valuable hunt- ing blood was lost. Nigel won the champion cup in 1892, and was sold then to Mr. Wood of Newbold Revel, who was getting a very nice pack together, but gave them up after about a couple of years and the hounds were dispersed. Sir Martin was not one of those who sacrificed hunting qualities on the altar of good looks, and though Nigel was an exceptionally handsome hound, he did not quite satisfy his owner in the field and was consequently sold. Would that all masters of the present day were as particular, giving more attention to hunting qualities and less to winning prizes at shows. The Royal Rock. This pack is, as I have said, the oldest established in England at the present time, but unfortunately they have rather wasted their opportunities by not breeding or at least only very spar- ingly. However, they are still going and some of the bitches trace back to the old stock, which was very good. The Beagle in England 225 That great sportsman, Colonel Anstruther Thompson, had bought eight or ten couple of beagles from Parson Honeywood in about 1843, and when through regimental duties he was obliged to give them up, they were bought by some Liverpool men and became the foundation of the Royal Rock. The Cheshire. I have very little to add to what is already written of this pack. They began their existence about 1856, and had masters with varying terms of office, usually short, until Mr. Blain took them in 1892. His mastership, which lasted about eight years, was Best Hound over 12 MR. J. RUSSEL'S "RELISH." i. and not exceeding 16 in., Rugby Beaj Show, 19H marked with very successful results at Peterboro, as in addition to winning the champion cup on three occasions, he carried off the cup for the best three couple no less than six times. Much outside blood was brought into the kennel from Ireland and else- where, but the majority of the best hounds were bred from the Royal Rock either on the sire or dam's side. The pack con- tinues to hunt the same country, but as fewer hounds have 226 The Beagle in England been bred of late years they have not maintained their reputa- tion at Peterboro. They, however, deserve well of the beagle world for having bred Bellman, a hound that was not only good looking, but also first rate in the field, and ran up with the pack in his twelfth season. The North Worcestershire. Although this pack had been in existence five or six years previously, it is chiefly identified with Mr. E. H. Humphreys, who was master and huntsman from 1882 until 1898, when it was dispersed. On a foundation of first rate hunting stock, sires of proved merit were used, chiefly from the Bronwydd and Royal Rock. The result was a pack with a reputation for its ability to hunt and catch hares in a country where hounds had to do all the work themselves. The master, however, was content if his hounds performed the duty for which they were kept and did not aspire to 1 Vterboro honors. In consequence, others masters who had not seen them at work, failed to take advantage of the blood by using the stallion hounds, an omission which they and all those who have the interests of the breed at heart must now regret. Hie pack, unfortunately, changed hands twice within three years after leaving the North Worcestershire kennels and even- tually was distributed in different parts of the country, Mr. Allen Turner securing some of the best for the Surbiton. The beagle owner of today who finds the prefix "North Worcestershire" in the pedigree of his hounds can rest assured that it stands for quality in appearance and hunting powers. Ferryman by Chal- lenger by Gambler was a little before my time, but was the sire of some first rate stock, both in his own kennel and the *Bronwydd. Ploughman by Sir William Curtis's Ploughman by the Bron- wydd Ploughman was an exceptional hound in his work, and I -ent a bitch to him entirely for that reason, as I had not then >een him. The result was Wisdom, which was destined to be- come the paternal ancestor of the celebrated Halstead Place Searcher. In some of the country hunted by Mr. Humphreys, foxes were very numerous, and as it was a district impossible to ride over, he was asked by the M. F. H. to stir them up with the beagles. The reply was that he would do it, but should kill The Beagle in England 227 it he could. A brace or more were then hunted and killed by these fifteen inch hounds. On one occasion after a good run and when the fox was dead beaten, Ploughman caught a view, raced up to and killed him single-handed. This proved the hound to be of great courage, in addition to possessing an excellent nose and immense stay- ing power. Everyone regretted Mr. Humphreys was obliged to give up the pack, but he still takes great interest in beagles, retains the arduous post of honorary secretary to the Masters of Harriers and Beagles' Association and, in spite of age, is very much to the fore when he pays a visit to other packs for a day's hunting. The Worcester Park. This pack was started about 1886 by London business men who wanted both sport and exercise. The country hunted is being hemmed in with houses, but they still show excellent sport. When I first saw them Mr. Simpson was the master and he continued to hold that position until about 1900. Having many other interests in addition to his business he was unable to devote his whole attention to the pack, and was obliged often to leave kennel matters to various vice-masters. In 1892 the standard aimed at was sixteen inches, but they had many smaller hounds and I was unable to secure several of these in the formation of my own pack. There was amongst them a very beautiful bitch called Dorothy, equally good in looks and work, many of whose descendants I still have. Breeding was done on only a very limited scale, which was a great pity, as there was some excellent blood in the kennel. The result was that the pack did not improve as it should have done and was chiefly maintained by drafts. In 1903 Mr. Jamieson became master jointly with Miss Blake, and the pack has made a steady improvement since that date, until it has become one of the best looking packs in England. This year (1920) Mr. Jamieson carried off nearly all the prizes at Peterboro, which is in itself a proof of its excellence. This result has only been attained by hard work and good man- agement. In 1893 the Worcester Park Rambler and Bertram were sec- ond in the class for couples, and won in the bitch class with Willing and her daughter Wasteful. The same pack also won 228 The Beagle in England the three couple class that year, which proves my contention that they had plenty of good material and did not make suffi- cient use of it. Bertram was an old hound at the time he was shown, but had more quality and carried his years (ten) well. He was the sire of the aforementioned Dorothv. MR. JOHNSON'S "MONARCH" Dog Championship, Peterborough Show, 1889, 1890, 1891. In 1911 the fruits of Air. Jamieson's good work began to reap their reward, and his Lucifer won the champion cup at Peter- boro that year. I must admit that Lucifer, in spite of many good points, did not appeal to me. With good bone, excellent legs and feet, he lacked the freedom of movement in the should- ders, which is essential in a hound. The Beagle in England 22Q Prompter, the winner of the champion cup this year is a hound of great suhstance with first rate legs and feet. He is by the Wooddale Publican out of Lavish by Monarch by the Halstead Place Monarch. He should get some good stock out of moderate sized bitches, as he is himself a full sixteen inches and therefore likely to breed them too big unless care is used in the selection of the dams. The West Surrey. (Late the Surbiton.) This is another pack similar to the Worcester Park that caters for the amusement and sport of London business men. It also has had the disadvantage of frequent changes in the mastership, and though it was in existence some eighteen years earlier, my acquaintance with the pack only dates from 1900. In that year Mr. Allen Turner became master and during the eight seasons he held office, the hounds were greatly improved. No man could have taken greater pains and trouble to bring the pack to perfection. He was fortunately able to buy the Crofton Beagles when they were given up and these were in reality the North Worcestershire. Nosegay and Nimble were, I think, the five best bitches in the Surbiton Kennel, and with better luck should have bred some first rate stock. They were by the North Worcestershire Nigel out of Pancake by the Cheshire Clinker out of Mr. John- son's Puzzle. I cannot now trace any of their descendants in the present pack, which is a great pity, as the blood was equally good for work and looks. Mr. Turner was a great supporter of the Reigate hound show, and was very successful there, winning many cups and prizes. I think his favorite hound was Prompter by Mr. Kelly's Pedlar out of Peaceful, very good looking with excellent legs and feet, but rather heavy about the shoulder. There was some uncer- tainty about the breeding of his dam Peaceful, but she was undoubtedly one of the old Surbiton lot, though her pedigree had been lost, and that prevented her son from competing at Peterboro. Mr. Kelly's Pedlar was bred by the Bronwydd and was by Pilgrim, a hound I bred and eventually sold to Mr. Kernochan of Long Island. There have been several changes since Mr. Turner resigned, but under the mastership of Mr. Wyer, who is in office at present, I think the pack will come to the front again. 2jo The Beagle in England The Thorpe Satchville. Taking the packs in order to seniority my own comes next on the list. It was some time in the Autumn of 1890 that I was given a couple of blue mottled thirteen inch hounds, named Bitter and Brevity. First rate hunters with good voices, I bred them together and have still some traces of the blood left through Bellman, a very good looking beagle I sold to Mr. Reynal. He was by Mr. Allott's Bellman, which was by the Thorpe Satchville Workman out of their Bluebell by Bitten out of Brevity. One of the best hunting bitches I ever owned was Mockery by Mr. Gilbert's Trueman out of Sir William Curtis' Mayfly. Both sire and dam had the credit of being road hounds, which means exceptionally tender noses. I bred a good deal from this bitch and her blood runs through nearly every inmate of my kennel. The only way to retain the excellence of a particular bitch and to transmit her qualities, is to in-breed to her through her descendants in the direct female line. I valued this blood very highly and had several representatives through different branches descended direct from Mockery at the outbreak of the war, but through accidents and other causes. I came back to find they had all gone. Mr. Clucas bought a very good bitch of this blood named Xosegay, whelped in 1911, and Mr. Newell Bent one called Sunbeam born in 1907, but have never heard whether they bred anything. If there is a bitch in America descended from either, I shall hope to bring her back to England. In 1892 I was able to get a bitch from Sir Martein Lloyd that was too small for him. and which with the assistance of Mockery has helped to build up my pack. She was by the North Worcestershire Fer- lyman out of Lavish and is in the stud book as the Bromvydd Lawless. His son Leader by Monitor Tempter out of Mockery, I sold to Mr. Kernochan about 1895. but fear his color, badger-pie, prevented him being used as much as he deserved in America. His litter brother Loyal was the sire of some of my best hounds. Another good dog. Lawless, bred by me was known as Mr. Ouare's Lictor. which was the sire of the Wooddale Peaceful. Lictor's sister Languish accompanied by Prudence won me my first prize at Peterborough in 1894. Harmony, a great granddaughter of Lawless, was the best all-round bitch for The Beagle in England work I ever bred or owned. Although barely twelve inches, she tv\as always amongst the leading hounds when scent was good. and however fast the pace, but when nothing else could touch the line, she invariably put the pack right. Her daughter Mindful, though born in 1908, is still alive and hunted all lasl s< ison. First Prizt MR. J. Dogs over RUSSEL'S "MONARCH." es, Rantlagh Hound Show, 1909. Dorothy by Worcester Park Bertram out of their Daisy was the third bitch that formed the foundation on which I built the pack. She was good in her work, but not quite up to the stand- ard of the other two, though very successful in breeding good stock. Her descendants include the Halstead Place Chorus, the dam of several Peterboro winners and the Leigh Park Dunger. ? champion cup winner. The Beagle in England Chorus's sire Fencer was also descended in the female line from Dorothy. He was known as the Cirencester Fencer by Thorpe Satchville Finder out of their Dauntless and got some first rate stock before going to America. I occasonally introduced fresh bitches into the pack, but have never yet found anything to excel Mockery, Lawless and Dorothy. Those are the female lines on which I have based all my breeding, and for my own convenience have numbered them one, two and three. However, quite lately I have added a fourth, which rather curiously traces back to a bitch I bred and sold in 1893. After acquiring the aforementioned Mockery, I went to see her breeder, Mr. Gilbert, and bought several hounds from him. This pack had been kept and bred for several years without any attention to looks, the best hounds for work being mated to- gether. The result was that they were light of bone and, in fact, had little in their appearance to recommend them — prob- ably very much in-bred. Unfortunately, I did not then realize the value of the material thus secured. Amongst this lot was a bitch called Truelass, from which I bred, but they were a little too big for me and they were all sold. 'Mr. Foster of the Pen-y- Ghent bought Needy, and it is descendants of hers that I now call my number four family. Garnet, a daughter of Truelass, I very foolishly sold to Mr. Iselin and fear she was never bred from in America. My rea- son for parting with her was that she was too fast for the rest of the pack, but have never ceased regretting that I allowed her to- leave my kennels. There was yet another bitch named Willing that exerted con- siderable influence on the working qualities of the pack, but regret that I have now none of her descendants. Willing was by the Stockton Warrior out of Mischief, and the pedigree of the latter I could never ascertain, but she had won prizes and was a very good looking bitch, being also first-class on her work. Willing was the dam of the Delapre Gamester and Grasper, two hounds that left some extraordinary good stock and one — I forget which — eventually went to America. She was also the cam of Wiseman, the great grandsire of Halstead Place Searcher. There was another son of hers called Workman which might have done great things, had he not caught a chill coming back from hunting and died in his first season. He, how- ever, left behind him one son, Mr. Allott's Bellman, the sire of my Bellman, already mentioned. The Beagle in England 233 I may seem to be dilating and becoming garrulous about my own pack, but it is not that I think it better than any other, only that I am more familiar with the various elements on which it was founded. The student of pedigrees and believer in the power of heredity will need no apology from me for going deeply into the history of hounds, whose descendants are as widely spread in Amerca as they are in England. HULTON "GAMESTER," 1900. Champion Stallion Hound (Beagles), Peterborough, 190 Having the advantage of living in a grass country, my aim was to breed a pack as small as possible. Beginning with fourteen inches I gradually brought it down to twelve, and at the outbreak of war, many of the hounds were then under twelve. Hunting two days a week from the beginning of November to the end of February, I was able to kill an average of twelve brace of hares in the season. Keeping the pack down to this limit meant that frequently 1 was obliged to part with some of the best looking hounds that 234 The Beagle in England I had bred. Two instances of this were the Stoke Place Peace- ful in 1902, and Mr. Price's Peaceful in 1907, both winning- the champion cup after I had sold them. It was, of course, a satis- faction to see hounds win of my own breeding, but it was a serious handicap to the pack. Considering that my hounds were always at the disadvantage of competing against others much larger, I had a fair amount of success at Peterboro, but am not now going to enumerate the different winners. My most successful year was 1903, when 1 won the three couple class, as well as for couples for unen- tered and entered bitches. My first win was in 1894 with Lan- guish and Prudence, the latter subsequently going to America. Dog hounds I very seldom showed, but Rector and his son Cruiser were second in a strong class in 1902. However, it matters not now what the judges thought in those days, and at any rate their decisions are on record, whereas it is only the owner who can truthfully give the hunting char- acter of his hounds. The three best dog hounds 1 had for work were Nominal and Rector (1897) and Cicero (1906). The latter had more drive than any beagle I have ever known, was never tired and was always at work. He was by the Hulton Feudal out of the Thorpe Satchville Fairmaid. Feudal I bred and sold to Mr. Hemitage, being rather too big for me. The Stoke Place. Mr. Howard Yyse. This pack was started in 1905. and as many others have done. began with smaller hounds and gradually increased in size until the average was fully fifteen inches. Mr. Vyse is a very good judge of a hound and was not satisfied until his pack was one of the best looking in England. It was a great loss to the beagle world when the pack was given up and the hounds dispersed. In a previous chapter I have already mentioned the Stoke Place Archie, and there is hardly space enough to mention all the good hounds bred in these kennels. The Peaceful he won the cup with in 1902 was by the Thorpe Satchville Cruiser, as also- were Primate and Whynot, bought at the same time. Whynot was a beautiful hound, but unfortunately was not straight, and owing to this deficiency was not very extensively used. Being rather on the small side for this pack, he eventu- ally went to the Lichfield Garrison, where he sired Chorister The Beagle in England 23s and Concord, both exceptionally nice hounds and winning the class for unentered in 1910, the latter winning the champion cup in 1911 and the former subsequently becoming the sire of Cora, which won the cup for Mr. Belmont in 1913, and was the best looking bitch I can remember. The Stoke Place had many successes at Peterboro, but their triumphs were chiefly with bitches. The hound that has left the largest impress on pos- terity is, I think, Scholar, and a large percentage of winners today will be found to have his blood in their veins. He was a great grandson of Solomon, which I sold to the Stoke Place and was a hound of exceptonal bone, but unfortunately died early and just when his merits as a sire were becoming known. Scholar's dam was a very good looking bitch and very well bred. Many other packs are indebted to this for improving their general appearance, and it is difficult to decide whetlur the Stoke Place or Halstead has exerted the greater influ- ence. The most noticeable feature of the Stoke Place was quality. The Chawston. I am not quite sure when this pack was first started, but Mr. Addington did not enter any hounds in the stud book until 1897. and he very seldom bothered to show at Peterboro. He kept his hounds for hunting and I have never seen a better working pack. My only criticism of them in the field is that I should have liked a little more tongue. Guardsman was the hound by which the Chawston will be best known, but there were many other excellent hounds in the kennel at different times that were good enough to use. Mr. Addington was very modest about his pack, and if breeders at a distance had only paid him a visit they would have found several potential sires. Mr. Russel secured Roguish for the Halsted Place and that bitch added very materially to his ultimate successes. The Hulton. This pack began its existence in 1898 and very soon acquired fame. Whether credit is due more to one brother or the other I do not know, but Mr. T. C. Armitage was master for the first few years and then handed over to Mr. L. L. Armitage. Their first success at Peterboro was in 1900, when they won the champion cup with Gamester, a position his son Ranter occupied in 1906. In addition to several minor wins they twice 2j6 The Beagle in England carried off the cup for the best three couples, which is in itself always a guarantee of the general excellence of a pack. The Armitages were at great pains to secure the best working blood and there was a strong mixture of Mr. Johnson's strain in the pack. Gamester was by Mr. Johnson's Finder out of Gipsy, a Cheshire bred bitch. I never managed to give myself the pleasure of seeing this pack either in the field or in the kennel, but after seeing their hounds at Peterboro and knowing how they were bred, my idea is that they should have earned a greater reputation. After 1906 and until the pack was given up five years later, no mem- bers of it competed at Peterboro. The Hulton was in existence for twelve years, had built up their pack on excellent founda- tions, and had bred some very good hounds, but today there is very little of that blood to be traced in the stud book. My idea is that they depended too much on the strength and influence of the male line, without giving sufficient attention to the female tap root. A pack may rise to great eminence for a few years solely on the merits of one or two stallion hounds, but it's repu- tation is only fleeting and will die away, unless it is founded on the rock of a sound female lineage. My advice to a young breeder is, get the best bitches money can buy, prove their worth in the field, cast out all that fail in that test, and breed from the remainder until they die of old age, using a different sire every year. In the course of time he will be able to use his own sires and in-breed to the great grand dams. The Wooddale. Mr. E. C. R. Goff started this pack in 1901 to hunt that part of Sussex which is within a radius of Billingshurst, and though there is some grass, the majority is heavy clay. Hounds of about thirteen inches were first tried, but they were found too small to cope successfully with this country, and the pack eventually attained an average height of something over fifteen inches. Mr. Goff was unfortunately by no means a millionaire and could not always afford to buy the hounds he would have liked. It is therefore much to his credit that he succeeded in breeding a pack which has never yet been excelled for its capacity to catch hares. The master of the Wooddale was not only a very sound judge of a hound, but was a first rate huntsman, and The Beagle in England 237 being a good runner was always near enough his pack to appre- ciate both virtues and vices of its individual members. How- ever good looking a hound might be he was never kept unless he reached the very high standard in the field which his owner had set up. In a previous chapter I have already alluded to Reveller and his grandson Publican. The latter I cannot recall very clearlv except that he had good legs and feet, but what impresses itself en my mind was the high character his owner always gave this hound for work in the field. Publican being responsible for the champion cup winner of this year, is certain to have numerous descendants in the future, but there are few packs now that have not already been benefited by his blood. Halstead Place. Having already written fully on this pack there is not much left to be said, but my references were chiefly to the dog hound-, the extraordinary number for one kennel to produce in ten years and their potency as sires. The most successful of Searcher's sons as a sire was, I think. Chancellor. Mr. Russel appreciated the value of a good bitch and much of his success was due to the selections he made. Searcher's dam Gracious was, perhaps, the most fortunate purchase he ever made, and her influence on the pack was very far-reaching. Her grand dam, Gayless, was brought from Ireland by the Trinity College, but unfortunately without any pedigree, although I understand she proved herself extraor- dinarily good in the field. The Springhill bought a bitch named Gorgon by Forager out of Gracious, which produced some first rate stock for that kennel. The other two bitches that materially assisted Mr. Russel were the Chawston Roguish and Chorus, which he bought from me. Later on he bought Mrs. Price's Peaceful, but the fruits gathered from her were in the last days of the pack, when it was eventually sold and, I believe, went to America. Everyone was sorry that Mr. Russel left the beagle ranks and turned his attention to other things, but we hope that some day in the near future he will again be bitten with the love for the little hound and get together another pack. If that, however, does not happen, the Halstead Place will be a name that will live forever amongst breeders of the beagle. *38 The Beagle in England The Springhill. This pack was got together by Mr. George Miller and Mr. Cecil Nickalls about the same period the Halstead Place started. They were both great admirers of Mr. Russet's hounds, and were indebted to him for much of the blood with which they ultimately built up a first-class pack. Forager was rather too -mall for the Halstead Place, but when being transferred to the Springhill he sired some excellent stock and everything by him proved good in the field. Many very beautiful hounds were bred in this kennel, but there was no better hunting pack in the country, and it will be remembered more for those qualities than for appearance. There are several other packs that deserve mention, but these have been the chief factors in building up the beagle today. The two college packs, Christchurch Oxford and Trinity Cam- bridge, have been in existence for a number of years, but owing to the frequent changes of mastership they have lacked contin- uity in their aims and have not progressed as they might have done. The Christchurch had some beautiful hounds, five and twenty years ago, but the Trinity have left the greater impress The Beagle in England 23Q on posterity and Forman's name runs in the pedigrees of many good hounds. This reminds me that the Halstead Place Mon- arch, a winner of the stallion hound prize at Peterboro and the sire of many good ones, was descended from a Trinity bred bitch. Music was her name, and I can remember seeing her do some excellent work with the Rothley. It also should not be forgotten that Searcher's dam was Trinity bred. I had forgotten that Mr. Russel bought the Rothley, a pack founded on Trinity blood and which was of considerable assistance to the Halstead Place. MATING AND BREEDING. Mr. Prentice asked me to devote one of these articles entirely to mating and breeding, but, though much might be written on the subject, I can give my opinion in a few lines. The beagle is a hound whose business it is to hunt, and in selecting parents, the requisite qualities for that purpose should be the first consideration. If you can combine it with good looks, by all means do what you can to improve the appearance of your pack, but, however good looking a hound may be, never breed from him or her if there is a slightest indication of a bad hunt- ing fault. The sire should, when it can be found, have good bone and substance, as by breeding from a light boned dog the tendency is to get weedy. Should a dog hound show excep- tional qualities in the field, do not neglect him because he is light of bone, but take care that the bitches you put to him do not fail in that respect. Do not allow your own judgment to be warped by the decision at a show because you, who can see your hounds galloping over the fields, can form a better opinion of their merits than the man who only sees them for a few minutes on a board. After all, "looks" should mean the combination of strength and activity, so that the judge who gives the prize to the hound quickly, must obviously be judging on the wrong lines. When possible, always try to ascertain the history of the hound's ancestors, for any marked fault in them is always liable to come out. I attach much greater importance to the female line than I do to the male, though I think the latter has a greater influence on appearance, whereas the former transmits hunting qualities, such as nose, etc. 240 The Beagle in England If you have a bitch that has proved herself extraordinarily good in the field, get pups from her as long as she will breed and treasure her descendants. I am not a believer in very close breeding, and when done it is important that the parents should have no fault. In-breed- ing has the tendency to accentuate and fix bad qualities as well as good. kS» St 3H j • v NHHH THE HALSTEAD PLACE "SEARCHER," 190S. Champion Stallion Hound (Beagles), Peterborough, 1907. My principle is to in-breed to the female line and cross out with the male line. It should be understood that the direct line, either male or female, has a greater influence than any interme- diate ones. In England we have improved the beagle in appearance very considerably during the last twenty years, and everyone tries to breed something that will excel in looks. The Halstead Place Searcher's extraordinary success tempted most beagle men either to use him or a son or a grandson, with the result that now it is very difficult to find a sire that is not in that hound's direct male line. Although I was a great admirer of Searcher, The Beagle in England 241 it is a mistake to narrow the available channels of the male lines, and I should advise using lines which trace to a different source.

GayJata THIRTY-SIX HINTS TO SPORTSMEN Tl I E following is a copy of a booklet supplied by Arthur Little, huntsman of the Wheatley Kennels, said to have been written by Mr. Albany Sairle, master of a cele- brated pack of harriers in the western part of England. It i> undated, but from the style of type and binding, was issued at least sixty to seventy-five years ago, and is here reproduced because of the practical value of the suggestions made. 1. A general rule as to hallooing, is, never to halloo unless you can give a good reason for so doing. 2. A constant and indiscriminate use of the voice is very blamable in a huntsman. His hounds by constantly hearing his voice, will soon learn to pay no more attention to it than they do to the singing of a lark, and will not come to him when they are called. 3. Some huntsmen have a trick of incessantly singing to their hounds when they are hunting and carrying on a scent. The consequence is, if they should check when he is not by, and will stand staring for the huntsman, and will no more hunt without him than some children will sleep, or oxen work, with- out being sung to. 4. This same bad habit of not casting at a check is also given to hounds by a huntsman's always interfering the moment they check. 5. AYhen hounds have checked the huntsman should turn his horse and allow his hounds to make their own cast. If he thinks the scent is behind, let him move slowly backward, and if his hounds be good for anything, they will cast around him. Let him attentively observe them, and while they continue casting with their noses down, he should sav not a word. When Tne neagle in England 243 they have made their cast and do not hit the scent, then he may interfere and draw them in the direction in which he may judge the game is gone. In casting, however, let him attentively observe the hounds, and if they cast with their noses down, let him say not a word. Nothing can be worse than a huntsman's casting his hounds and hallooing when hounds are trying well in their proper [•laces. Every halloo, in such a situation, is, in effect, to try to make the hounds lift up their noses and look in his face to ask what he wants. 6. Of the propriety of allowing the hounds to do their work without the huntsman's assistance, every man must be con- \ inced who has ever seen a pack of hounds at fault which have been much accustomed to a huntsman's interference, and farm- ers' hounds that have been used to hunt by themselves; one will not move without the huntsman; the other will keep on casting for an hour. 7. Good hounds will seldom or never leave a good scent ahead unless the ground be fouled by sheep, ploughed land, very wet, dry roads, etc. 8. Therefore, a huntsman should never force his hounds on against their will, unless it be on bad ground, as before described. Let them make their own cast. They are more likely to know than any man which way the scent lies. 9. When hounds are casting a huntsman should be partic- ularly attentive to them. He will then see what ground they have tried carefully and what they have missed, and this will govern his own cast. 10. When hounds check upon a road or path, a huntsman should always cast back on the line on which the hounds came forward. By this means the hounds will try each side, if they are good for anything; whereas, if he does what is called trying around and casts his hounds all on one side and the scent be on the other, he will make the check twice as long as it need be ; rot to say, that hounds casting of their own accord are ten times as likely to hit a bad scent as they are when trotting after a horse's heels. 11. When hounds are hunting a bad scent, keep behind them and look on patiently. Hounds should never be lifted as long as they can carry a scent. 12. in casting hounds it should be a constant rule to be pretty certain that the fault is not ahead. 244 The Beagle in England 13. A huntsman will govern himself in his cast by observing what ground the hounds have crossed in going forward. If he should have observed when the hounds are at fault on a path that some hounds have run on to the right of the path, it is most likely the game is gone to the left, and vice versa. 14. A hare that has broke her country will commonly go down wind ; if she runs up wind, hounds will seldom check. 15. Some huntsmen, making a cast, try that part of the ground where they can most conveniently ride, instead of that where it is most likely the game is gone. Others are trying to find a hare sitting instead of minding their hounds. Others ride on hallooing, without regarding their hounds while they are making their cast. Their own noise prevents them from hear- ing their hounds, who often take the scent and run oft" without their knowledge. 16. In most packs there are some hounds that will at times hunt rabbits, vermin, curs, etc., especially after a long rest. A hound should never be encouraged until you are sure he hits a right scent. 17. When game is hallooed, the hounds should not be taken to the most distant point where it was seen, but if possible, fifty or one hundred yards behind that point. If they are taken to the most distant point and there do not take the scent, you have then to cast at a venture, and are more likely to cast from the line of scent than towards it. If you go fifty yards behind the more distant point where the game was seen, you then know for all that distance which is the right way to draw your hounds. 18. When you come to a spot where game has been seen, stand still and let all your hounds feel the scent. If, as soon a:- two or three touch it, you hurry all your hounds on imme- diately, the scent is often lost again. In bringing your hounds up to a scent, give them the wind as much as you can. 19. If a single hound goes off to a good scent, get your pack to him as quickly as you can, but if it be with a bad scent and you go on with a noise and hurry, the pack will be in expecta- tion of a fresh scent, the hound that went off will be lifted by the noise, and you will have the scent to seek. Go gently, without noise, and the hounds will settle into the scent. 20. If your hounds divide, get as near the chase as you can and give the view halloos. Nothing is more ridiculous than men at a distance hallooing "Hark Forward" to cast their The Beagle in England 245 hounds, because, as they do not speak English, they cannot un- derstand what "Hark Forward" means. 21. If you are not forward with the chase, the only good you can do to cast hounds is to drive them by a rate and the crack of a whip, and the chance that this has of making them do good is little more than by making them lie, if they should be lying on a scent, whereby they may possibly hear the chase hounds or a halloo. 22. No person should halloo that is not well forward. It signifies little what words you use, as a hound's knowledge of language is confined to a view halloo, a call and a rate. It is the tone of the voice and not the words that they understand, and hounds will always draw to the voice if it be not a rate. This shows the impropriety of hallooing behind. 23. No person should ride farther forward than the tail of the pack, because if you ride only abreast of the center of the pack, and the game turn short to the side on which you are, you must of necessity ride on the scent. It must be a bad pack, indeed. if a man cannot see the front hounds from the tail of it, and it is uncivil to the rest of the company to ride in that place where if all rode the sport could not go on, because it may be presumed that all will have an equal desire to go forward. A few yards wide of the tail is the proper place for a sportsman to ride in running good scent. Behind the hounds is the proper place for bad scent, because you are less likely to cross the scent, and game turns and tricks more frequently with bad scent than with good. 24. In running good scent, if you are up with the pack, a cheering halloo does no harm; the hounds will not attend to it. and it is expressive of the pleasure of the hallooer. 25. When there is no game on foot and conversation supplies the sport; keep your horses moving. It will prevent their catch- ing cold, and you will have a chance of doing some good by riding up a hare. 26. When hounds are at fault and a hit is made by one or more, halloo them immediately; it will command the attention of the pack, and get them more quickly to the chase. 27. When you whip hounds to a huntsman in casting, do it gently and with little noise, by which means the hounds will draw towards him, trying as they go ; whereas, loud and re- peated cracks of the whip and rates will make hounds fly to the 246 The Beagle in England huntsman with their nose in the air. When you see them draw- ing properly toward him be silent. 28. Never cap hounds with loud halloos to a bad scent. Capping, makes them wild and eager, and should never be done except when the scent is high. Hounds should be brought up gently to a cold scent. 29. Never follow a huntsman that is casting hounds. You may be more profitably employed by endeavoring to pick a road and keeping your eye on the foil, etc. 30. If a hound should be cast and he is using his best en- deavors to get in. do not rate and bully him ; it will discourage him and make him shy without the possibility of doing good. 31. But, mob a skirter as much as possible. A skirter is he whose plan it is to run wide without attempting to get to the chase, and merits much harsher treatment than he who casts wide at a check, and goes to the hit the moment it is made. 32. Never whip any man's hound but your own. A stroke of a whip injudiciously given to an old hound may make him shy and sullen and perhaps spoil him forever. The correction of the whip should be left to those who are intimately ac- quainted with their tempers and dispositions. 33. Keep your eye always on the leading hounds. When they stop and cast back, turn your horse and they will cast by you. 34. Never halloo a hare if the hounds are coming on with the scent. It is almost needless to say, never halloo a hare so as to give your hounds' view. If they should not catch her, they will probably so distress her as to spoil the run. 35. A huntsman's first cast should never be wide, especially with hounds that will cast beyond him. If he fails to hit the first cast, then let him make a wider cast on fresh ground. No ground should be twice tried until he has completed the whole circle. 36. In riding to hounds, be careful not to cross the scent ahead. If you see them inclining toward a road or path, by no means ride into it, but leave it unstained for the hounds to try.

The following table contains a list of all winners at beagle field trials, indexed by first letter of names, but running chronologically according to the first win of the individual, from the initial trial of the National Beagle Club of America in 1890 to the end of 1919, giving the name of the club and the year at which wins of the dog were made. Pack wins are not ij6 Alphabetical List indexed, because records of individuals making up packs were too incom- plete. In the chronological table, covering the same period, will be found in addition to the name of the dog, its breeding and owner, and the place won and number of starters, and judges officiating. By taking the name of the winner from this list, with the data of name of club and year of wins, and referring to the corresponding reports in the chronological table, therefore, the complete field trial record of any field trial winner desired may be obtained. Examine each report of each trial indicated in the key to see if the same dog was placed more than once at the same meeting, in making up any individual record. AVA W.— N. '91. ALDERMAN.— N. W. '95.

Beagle Field Trial Champions 1890-1919 Following is a list of beagle field trial winners entitled to the title of Field Trial Champion, under the rules in force from time to time, with their field trial championship record. Prior to championship stakes being offered, a stake was given to which the first place winners in the different classes were eligible, the winner of which was declared Absolute Winner, in effect so far as degree of competition was concerned, equal to a championship stake, therefore win- ners of this title are included in the list. The list is subdivided for convenience, according to the rules in force when the title or right to it was acquired, following the absolute winners, first winners in championship stakes, then those under the two win rule, and last, those under the point system. It must be understood some of them may not have been declared champions of record, claim of the title at times, and registration of the winner with the American Kennel Club being necessary under the rules. The same abbreviations for clubs are used as with the alphabetical index. ABSOLUTE WINNERS Starters LEE II (Lee-Juliet) N. '92 5 MAY FLY (Beebe's Doc-Beebe's Peg) .• N. W.

These have been found inaccurate at times, but owing to lack of records and in some cases their loss, and changes of officials, it has been impossible to check them accurately. The rule of the American Kennel Club for listing of starters in beagle field trial events went into effect in 1918. As the rule is understood by the compiler, the American Kennel Club will only recognize in its official field trial championship records meetings held during 1918 and 1919 which were licensed events. Whether the American Kennel Club will recognize wins and give credit under the rules on a field trial championship record for them, at meetings held by unlicensed clubs during the years 1007 to 191 7, inclusive, is a question that so far as the compiler knows, has not been ruled upon. It is unlikely any championship record not started in 1915 or subse- quently will be completed. The following table is carried back only to 1015, to show the championship ratings of the meetings from 1915 on. and facili- tate the compilation of records started in those years and added to subse- quently, using the same abbreviations for clubs found in other tables. All meetings held from 1915 to iqiq, inclusive, are included, and those which were unlicensed events are indicated with the asterisk. The records of the American Kennel Club are assumed to be correct, being from re- ports furnished by the secretaries of the different clubs, and as to the ratings of the various licensed meetings during that period, the tables given previously and this table, have been checked with the records of the Amer- ican Kennel Club, and are believed to be correct.

The Randall Beagle Kennels "The Home of the Happy Hunters" In the Great Adirondack Forests At North Creek, New York If you want beagles that HUNT, come to the Fountain Head — the home of the famous "PATCHES.'' The birthplace of the world's greatest white hare hunter — Field Champion Patch. We are the originators of the Patch strain of beagles; too well known to all the beagle world to need description here. We knew, years ago, our foremost breeders know TODAY, and YOU will know tomorrow, that the PATCHES are the RECOGNIZED LEAD- ERS in the hunting field. A 700-acre tract of land; in the very heart of the White Hare country; miles ' from any neighbor, is our Wilderness Home. Here our puppies are born and trained. Our hunting grounds are ideal; unsurpassed in fact, in this country. We only need open a kennel door and start the game. Towering peaks, covered with a virgin tangle of dense jungle directly in front of the kennels, and gigantic cedar swamps in the rear, where hoards of great White Hare breed and dwell, offer to us an advantage that few kennels can boast of. Cottontails too, swarm in the lower foothills, thus we have both white hare and cottontails on which to train our puppies. Therefore we are directly in a position to offer to the buying public-^ BEAGLES THAT HUNT. We have already spent nearly a quarter of a century in building up this pack; don't be deceived — if you get any at all — get the BEST. Grown Stock and Puppies Usually For Sale QUALITY FIRST...

Ch. KISHWAUKEE MARY is the foundation blood on which I am building my pack. She is one of the three champion daughters of Somerset Clinker, the proven best producing cross on dams of the blood of Hempfiekl Little Dandy, the sire of her dam. This justifies her right as a producer, her daughters and grandsons being field and bench winners, showing that her blood is prepotent and breeds on. On this blood I am crossing the greatest sire the breed has ever known, my Ch. Imp. Stoke Place Sapper, a producer of more high class winners than any other sire, in which he has no competitor. I have probably more of this combination of prize winning blood than can be found in any other kennels. From time to time I shall add the blood of such other producing fam- ilies as I believe will help in further improvement.
