Field Trial Beagle Type 193 



Using the above as a foundation, a committee of 

 well-known beagle-men, members of the National 

 Beagle Club of America, is now at work on a new 

 standard, which will be shortly offered to breeders 

 in this country. 



The new or present standard of the National 

 Beagle Club was accepted in 1899, at the February 

 meeting of the club held at Madison Square 

 Garden. 



Commenting on the discussion between Messrs. 

 Card, MacAleer and "Comedj^" a New England 

 breeder who uses the nom de plume of "Student," 

 remarks that "If there were not another show to 

 take place for five years, nor another trial run in 

 the same length of time, it is the writer's opinion 

 we would find at the end of that time just as good 

 and better sj^ecimens for the bench shows, and just 

 as true and steady hunters afield as exist today, 

 anywhere. 



"That there is a class of men so fond of these 

 little hounds that they would breed them irrespect- 

 ive of 'show' or 'trial' inducements and that it would 

 be done with intelligent interpretation of a beagle 

 standard as understood by this class from long 

 experience and knowledge of beagles, seems to have 

 been shown by some of the many articles that have 

 appeared on this subject.
