in our trusted friends. When I advise to train a dog to re- 

 trieve under the whip I do not mean that any cruelty should 

 he practiced. The lesson to be taught the pupil is this: that 

 when he is told to retrieve he must do it. If agjeeable to 

 him so much the better; if not, that he must do it just the 

 same. This does not require any brutality. An even temper 

 •will enforce the lesson, and not a blow be struck which would 

 call a whimper to the lips of a child. 



I have a spaniel now,~wbich, when I first adopted him, was 

 a perfect fool. My sporting friends all laughed at me for 

 allowing- such a "k'yudle" (?) to follow me about. He had been 

 raised by a "cullud pusson," and was a type of all that is 

 worthless. Raise your hand at him and lie would fall on his 

 back, feet in air, and tail close to his body, and there he would 

 stay ; endearments were wasted upon him and cuffs only con- 

 stricted his tail. I handled him gently : first makiug him hold 

 an object in his month. After a while I induced him to pick 

 an object from the floor, and then my labor was practically 

 over, the balance was siiuplv extending the range of the in- 

 i : iton, the hardest step of which was to teach my pupil to 

 pick an object from the floor at command. This clog was gun 

 shv and wliter shy, and was eighteen months old beforelever 

 spoke a v?0rd to him. Last fall he retrieved fairly for me in 

 all kinds of weather, and before another year is passed, I 

 venture to say that he will be. as good a, duck dog as any one 

 would wish to o«']i. This dog could never have been coaxed 

 to retrieve. He did it because h* had to at hrst. 



A dog trained under the whip to retrieve will never fail you 

 in hot weather or cold. If he is not so trained and if the whip 

 is used to correct him at his first disobedience he will refuse to 

 retrieve for the time, at least, perhaps for all time as did my 

 pointer. Hunt.

Editor Forest and Stream: 



I inclose balance of entries for the fifth annual Derby of the 

 National Ames lean Kennel Club. There arc 88 in all, of which 

 74 are English setters, 5 Irish settei s and pointers. I 

 think there will be the largest field of starters this year that 

 we have ever had, as the entries did not close until after the 

 distemper season was past, and the death rate will not be 

 so great. There mar be a few more entries by delayed and 

 foreign mails. D. Bbtson, See.

AMERICAN ENGLISH BEAGLE CLUB. 



FOLLOWING is the report of the committee of the Ameri- 

 can English Beagle Club upon the standard to be adopted 

 by the club: 



Mr. President and Members of the American English Beagle 

 Club; 



Gentlemen — Your committee appointed to draft a stand- 

 ard for the beagle, very respectfully report that they have 

 entered upon their duties with a lull realization of the dif- 

 ficult es and importance of the subject before them. 



The necessity for a descriptive scale of points for this breed 

 is very apparent. Beuch show judges having no authorized 

 type on which to base their decisions, differ widely in their 

 estimates as to the breed marks of the race. At one show, 

 dogs of harrier size and style, win the highest recognition, at 

 another, the smallest specimens are favored. Diminutive 

 size being seemingly the only passport to preferment, quality 

 being overlooked or ignored. 



Thus opinions clash, and breeders and fanciers hesitate to 

 submit their clogs for exhibitions in the present see-aaw con- 

 dition of affairs. 



With an accepted standard the judge will have a guide to 

 lead him through the difficulties of his position, and the 

 breeder, if a novice, will be enabled with its assistance to dis- 

 card those animals that are deficient in quality, and recognize 

 merit where it exists, thus elevating the status of' his kennel. 



with this preface, your committee respectfully submit the 

 accompanying standard for the English beagle, the result of a 

 cateful and painstaking analysis. Dr. L. H. Twaddell, 



Gen'l R. Rowett, 

 N. Elmore. 



STANDARD AND .SCALE OF POINTS FOR THE ENGLISH BEAGLE. 



Head.— The skull should be moderately domed at the occiput, 

 with the cranium broad and full. The ears set on low, long 

 and fine in texture, the forward or front edge closely framing 

 and inturned to the check, rather broad and rounded at the 

 tips, with an almost entire absence of erectile power at then" 

 origin. The eyes full and prominent, rather wide apart, sott 

 and lustrous, brown or hazel in color. The orvital processes 

 well developed. The expression gentle, subdued and pleading. 

 The muzzle of medium length, squarely cut, the stop well 

 defined. The jaws should be level. Lips either free from or 

 with moderate flews. Nostrils large, moist and open. De- 

 fects — A flat skull narrow across the head, absence of dome, 

 ears short, set on too high, or when the dog is excited rising 

 above the line of the skull at their points of origin due to an 

 excess of erectile power. Ears pointed at the tips, thick or 

 boardy in substance or carried out from cheek showing a 

 space between. Eyes of a light or yellow color. Muzzle long 

 and snipey. Pig-jaws or the reverse known as under-shot. 

 Lips showing deep pendulous flews. Disqualifications— 

 Eyes close together, small, beady and terrier-like. 



Neck and Throat.— Neck rising free and light from the 

 shoulders, strong in substance, yet not loaded, of medium, 

 length. The throat clean and free from folds of skin, a slight 

 wrinkle below the angle of the jaw, however, may be allow- 

 able. Defects — A thick, short, cloddy neck, carried on a line 

 with the top of the shoulder. Throat showing dewlap and 

 folds of skin to a degree termed 'throatness." 



Shoulders and CJiest. — Shoulders somewhat declining, mus- 

 cular, but not loaded , conveying the idea of freedom of action, 

 with lightness, activity and strength. Chest moderately 

 broad and full. Defects— Upright shoulders and a dispro- 

 portionally wide chest. 



Back, Loin and Ribs. — Back short, muscular and strong. 

 Loin broad and slightly arched, and the ribs well sprang, 

 giving abundant lung room. Defects — A long or swayed 

 back, a flat narrow lorn, or a flat constricted rib. 



Forelegs and Feet. — Forelegs straight with plenty of bone. 

 Feet close, ffrm, and either round or hairlike in form. De- 

 fects — Out elbows. Knees knuckled over or forward, or 

 bent backward. Feet open and spreading. 



Hips, Thighs, Hindlegs and Feet.— Hips strongly muscled, 

 giving abundant propelling power. Stifles strong and well let 

 down. Hocks firm, symmetrically and moderately bent, 

 Feet close and firm. Defects— Cow hocks and open feet. 



lail.— The tail should be carried gaily, well up and with 

 medium curve, rather short as compared with size of the dog, 

 and clothed with a decided brush. Defects— A long tail 

 with a tea-pot curve. Disqualifications— A thinly haired 

 rattish tail, with entire absence of brash. 



Coat.— Moderately coarse in texture, and of good length. 

 Disqualifications — A short, close, and nappy coat. 



Height. — The meaning of the term '"Beagle," a word of Cel- 

 tic origin, and in old English Begele, is small, little. The dog 

 was so named from his diminutive size. Your committee 

 therefore, lor the sake of consistency, and that the beagle shall 

 be in fact what his name implies, strongly recommends that 

 the height line be sharply drawn at fifteen inches, and that all 

 nogs exceeding that height shall be disqualified as over-grown, 

 and outside the pale of recognition. 



Color, — All hound colors are admissible. Perhaps the most 

 popular is black, white and tan. N ext in order is the lemon 

 and white, then blue and lemon mottles, then follow the solid 

 colors, such as black and tan, tan, lemon, fawn, etc. This 

 arrangement is of course arbitrary, the question being one 

 governed entirely by fancy. The colors first named form the 

 most lively contrast and blend better in the pack, the solid 

 colors being sombre and monotonous to the eye. It is not in- 

 tended to give a point value to color in the scale for judging, 

 as before said all true hound colors being correct. The fore- 

 going remarks on the subject are therefore simply suggestive. 



General Appearance. — A miniature fox-hound, solid and big 

 for his inches, with the wear and tear look of the dog that can 

 last in the chase and follow his quarry to the death. 



Note— Dogs possessing such serious faults as are enumerated 

 under the head of "Disqualifications" are under the grave sus- 

 picionof being of impure blood. Under the heading of '"Defects" 

 objectionable features are indicated; such departures from 

 the standard not, however, impugning the purity of the 

 breeding.

MASTIFFS AT TORONTO.— Our correspondent desires us 

 to correct an error which slipped into his report on the mastiffs 

 at Toronto. Speaking of Lion he is made to say he is "a good 

 little dog." This was not our correspondent's meaning, as 

 Lion is of good size. "Well built dog," he thinks was the 

 expression he made use of. 



RECENT IMPORTATIONS.— Mr. John Gellatly. of New 

 York, has received from England the Scotch deerhound hitch 

 Lufra II. She is not quite a year old. She is well bred and 

 gives promise of good form when mature. She will be exhib- 

 ited at the New York show next month. 



CORRECTION.— In our report of awards at Toronto show 

 the dog Chief II., in Class 9, red Irish setter?, is spoken of as 

 Max Wenzel's. Mr. Wenzel bred Chief II. lA.KR. 888) who is 

 now owned by Mr. H. B, Goetschius, Hoboken, N. J. 



PERSONAL. — Mr. James Watson has accepted a position 

 on the editorial staff of the Philadelphia Press, and he re- 

 quests us to find room for the information that his postal 

 address is P. O. Box 770, Philadelphia, Pa. 



CHICAGO DOG SHOW. -There will be a dog show at Chi- 

 cago, 111., the last of May or early hi June. Mr. Chas. Lin- 

 coln will superintend. 



THE POINTER BRAVO.— Mr. J. Norbury Appold, Balti- 

 more, Md.. requests us to say that the pointer Bravo, who 

 won vhc. at New Haven, is not related to his champion Bravo, 



Men in "Safe Employments" were paid a gusrter of a million 

 dollars last year by the Ti avelers, of Hai tford, Conn., for accidental 

 death and injuries.— Adti.
