has no doubt but that this will be evolved from the

Mr. H. B. Tallman of Providence, Rhode 

 Island, has his say in reference to type and judges 

 in commenting on Mr. Haven's stand in the matter, 

 opening his remarks with a quotation from Mr. 

 Haven as follows: " 'I have kept beagles for eight 

 or nine years, have attended quite a number of 

 shows and tried hard to find out what beagle type is, 

 but in vain.' 'No two judges seem to have the 

 same ideas and, in fact, the same judge seems to 

 have different ideas at different times.' And again, 

 that he has 'the variations in the awards of judges, 

 and the diversity of opinions expressed by beagle 

 men to prove that something is wrong somewhere.' 

 Such variation and diversity are wrong. If he has 

 been interested in beagles for eight or nine years, 

 that is for a longer period than some of the judges 

 and other beagle men have been. 



"The variations in awards and diversity of opin- 

 ion prove that some of them have not yet found out 

 what beagle type is, and that it is wrong for him 

 to try and find out from their awards and opinions. 

 Let him then form his own opinion of beagle type 

 from a study of the standard and deference to the 

 opinions of the men who have had more experience
