Harriers 147 



past masters of Harriers and Beagles in England, 

 as well as several Irish members. 



The Association was founded in 189 1. There have 

 been three Honorary Secretaries, the first being the 

 late L. E. Rickards, who was at one time Master of 

 the Aldenham Harriers; Mr C. W. M. Kemp, who 

 hunted the Foxbush Harriers; and the present 

 Secretary. 



The Association runs the Annual Peterborough 

 Harrier and Beagle Show, and the Hounds eligible 

 form a pack, whose Master belongs to the Association, 

 to be shown there, and the hounds must be entered, 

 or eligible to be entered, in the Association's Stud 

 Book. There are no Standard of Points drawn up 

 by the Association, but the judges are selected from 

 Masters (acting or past) who are conversant with the 

 make and shape of a good hound, and needless to say 

 that make and shape is such that enables a hound 

 to do its work in the best way. The hounds are 

 judged on working lines.
