With all this controversy in mind as to type, it 

 is interesting to read in a letter from G. M. Whar- 

 ton, of East Islip, New York (1898), that while 

 we all know the Masters of Harriers and Beagles 

 have no standard in England, of either Harrier 

 or Beagle he quotes the standard of the Beagle 

 Club of England as of August 1st, 1895, and states 

 that they had adopted the following: 



SCALE OF POINTS 



Head 20 Legs and feet 25 



Ears 10 Stern 5 



Eyes 5 Coat 10 



Body 15 Expression 5 



Hindquarters 10 



Total 109 



(Evidently
