Beagles 149 



Kernochan, whose death has recently lost a high- 

 spirited sportsman to the American world, was 

 the most liberal importer. He gave up his regu- 

 lar pack before he died, and his best hounds 

 became the heads of several promising kennels. 

 Imported Baronet has also become a successful 

 sire. 



Rather a remarkable little hound is Sailor, 

 owned by Mr. Peterson of Homestead, Pennsyl- 

 vania. He may be called strictly American-bred. 

 His pedigree includes Frank Forest, Rattler, 

 Bannerman, and Cameron's Racket. He is small, 

 barely over the thirteen-inch point, but was suc- 

 cessful in the trials. 



Kentucky has become quite a beagle centre 

 recently. The leading kennel there seems to be 

 that of Mr. Laurence Gentry of Lexington. His 

 principal dog is Champion Blitz. This little bench- 

 show champion is partly of imported blood, being 

 by Baronet, and partly of what we call our Ameri- 

 can strains. His dam's pedigree includes Ring- 

 wood, Lonely, and Bannerman. 



Another young beagle w^iich did some sharp 

 winning as a puppy is Alonsita Round. He may 

 be called of typical American breeding, his line 

 including Dorsey's Pilot and Frank Forest. 



Always the phrase used to describe the beagle 

 is " miniature foxhound," and nothing could be 

 better, since it describes both the dog's appear-
