EASTERN FIELD TRIALS CLUB. 



AVERY important meeeting of the members of the East- 

 era Field Trials Club was held at Delmonico's, 313 Fifth

 gentlemen were present: Mr. J. O. Bonner, President; Mr.

 urer's report was called for. While it was being read the 

 members crowded around the table, depositing their dues for 

 the current year until there was a pile of crisp bank notes and 

 shining gold displayed that was verv cheering to the hearts 

 and gratifying to the pride of the gentlemen who have so 

 freely given of their time and money' to promote the success

 ernoon was then taken up with reading 

 extraots from letters received bv Mr. Llewellin from Mr. 

 Laveraek, and from Mr. Robinson. The incniiry was ad- 

 journed until the uexr committee raeaine-. 



Mr. Llewellm has also submit led to the committee the fol- 

 io wine;: 

 To the Committee of the Kernel Club: 



Gentlemen— I maintain that the definition of "pure Laver- 

 aek," for the purpose of this iuquirv, is not that which shall be 

 m future agreed upon by the K. C. for their own satisfaction, 

 but that which was regarded and accepted as "pure Laver- 

 aek" at the time when the class in which Comet won was in- 

 stituted, aud thus before the time at which my protest was 

 entered. 



The term "pm'e Laveraek" was given bv general consent of 

 setter breeders, for many years past, in virtue of the fact that 

 every dog sent out of Mr. Laveraeks kennel traced its origin 

 on all sides to Mr. Laverack"s Pedigree Tables, page 21 of his 

 book (which pedigree he forwarded with every dog sold by 

 him), and in addition to all dogs in the possession of other per- 

 sons who also traced their origin on all sides to the same pedi- 

 gree. The fact that the Kennel Club did not at that time even 

 hint at any other definition, ipso facto, proves that they them- 

 selves accepted this commonly received definition, aud there- 

 fore, I maintain, are bound by it. 



The idea of Pride straining back through a fifty years' pedi- 

 gree, in which his color (liver and white) was conspicuously 

 absent, to a single cross with the Edmond Castle breed, as as- 

 serted by M r. Robinson, is ridiculous, and also disproved by 

 the dates given by Mr. Laveraek and Mr. Robinson. Mr. 

 Robinson states (The Field, Jan. 14. 1SS2)— "It is now forty- 

 three year- since the blood was •infused' into Old Moll (that is, 

 in i E539)." Mr. Laveraek states he got Old Moll from Mr. Har- 

 rison in 1S25, which, even supposing she had been only lust 

 born in 1S25, makes her to have been fourteen years old at 

 least, at which age it is gravely asserted she produced whelps! 



Mr. Laveraek has been proved to have tried crossing his 

 breed with Edmond Castle and other breeds on six or eight 

 occasions, at intervals during a period of fortv years; also that 

 he got rid of the produce of those crosses. 



It has been proved that Mr. Laveraek stated that Pride of 

 the Border was the produce of an Edmond Castle cross, and. 

 as Mr. Laveraek did not retain anv of the previous crosses, 

 Pride must have been a first cross from the Edmond Castle, 

 and which he wotdd not have retained if it had not been for 

 the loss of Pedigree (Fred IV.) 



It has been proved that Mr. Laveraek, during the time he 

 thought it possible to keep up the "pures," made a distinct • 

 difference between Pride and them. 



By an attempt to alter the always accepted definition of 

 "pure Laveraek. ,; you would do an injury to the owners of 

 those which really are pure, such as the "Dash— Molls,'' "Dash 

 — Lills," and those two sorts combined, against which there is 

 no sort of evidence, and between which and Pride of the 

 Border Mr. Laveraek has proved that he knew of a difference 

 m blood, and it is only after the death of Pedigree (Fred TV.) 

 that he does retain Pride's blood. 



Whatever weight the various items of evidence I have put 

 in may appear individually to possess in the eves of the com- 

 mittee, taken as a whole the" mass points, I contend, irresistibly 

 to prove the position I have taken against Pride of the Border. 

 tdering the importance of this question, I think I am 

 ed in asking that these points mav be attentively con- 

 sidered and carefully weighed.

DOG-HATERS. 



? r TMS aBorryfact that there are people in the world who 

 -L hate the dog— man's most faithful earthlv friend. They 

 are many degrees lower in the scale of existence than man- 

 haters, and their status in society would be very hard to 

 define, with any shadow of truth. I have, occasionally met such 

 people, and their memory is not pleasant to recall. Their 

 moral, mental and physical contour was extremely angular, 

 and all intercourse with them was like that of the tender hand 

 with a sturdy spray of nettles. 



Why is the dog hated? For various reasons, but a general 

 one might be given thus: because he is too good and too ex- 

 alted in the scale of being for his enemies to understand or 

 appreciate. The best, the purest, the noblest men a ml women 

 in the world's history have been hated and maligned and 

 persecuted to death for the same reason. 



Some utilitarians hate the dog because he cannot be made 

 to hew wood and draw water. Such hate the flowers, the 

 comfortable shade trees, and level them to the ground as they 

 should do the weeds. They see neither beautv no use in any- 

 thing that, cannot yield them, in some way, a money value, 

 the dog because "they sav" he "run- nnvd.'" and a 

 ath by hydrophobia, is th i certain result of a bite. 

 ires. No authenticated statistics of hydro- 

 ind any convincing evidence in their eves, and
