THE AMERICAN FOXHOUND. 



THERE are more organized fox-hunting clubs within a 

 radius of thirty miles around Philadelphia than in all 

 the rest of the United States put together, and yet at the 

 last show held in that city not a single hound was shown 

 from any of the packs. 



In questioning several members of different clubs the 

 reason for this Tack of patronage, the reply in every case 

 amounted to about the same: ^'Foxhounds are judged at 

 bench shows according to the English standard,' and even 

 when the American type is supposed to be the guide, our 

 worst hounds usually carry off the prizes, so we have given 

 up exhibiting." 



It is a difficult thing for a judge, even when giving his 

 decisions under the American standard, to ignore the beau- 

 tifully marked, sturdy-looking English hounds and award 

 the prizes to the more slender-built and less stylish Ameri- 

 can type, Yet for practical fox hunting in this country the 

 English dog is almost useless. He has not the nose or en- 

 durance to stand the racket. He even pounds his feet sore 

 on the stones and there is no army of whippers-in to put 

 him on the right scent when he loses it. The English hound 

 has been, so I am informed, tried time and time again in 

 Pennsylvania, but found wanting. For tame fox chasing 

 and the aniseseed bag hunt he is perfection, and for dudes 

 who like to ride an hour to show their fine hunting suit, he 

 is in high favor. 



According to tradition foxhounds were first introduced 

 into America by that rollicking crowd of cavaliers who came 

 over with Lord Baltimore. At that period of English his- 

 tory the hunting on foot of foxes was just giving way to the 

 more aristocratic chase on horseback. The pace of the old 

 Southern hound (sleuthhound) was quickened by an infus- 

 ion of greyhound blood. 



Evidence of the old Sou thern hound blood can be seen to- 

 day in many representative Pennsylvania packs. I have 

 seen old black and tan foxhounds that would hardly disgrace 

 t he bloodhound class at the last New York show. Of course 

 they were not so large, but in eye and texture of ear, peak, 

 wrinkle and haw they closely approached that type. 



The origin of the American and English foxhound being 

 the same, the diversion of the breed is easily explained. 

 Our English cousins always breed to a standard type, irre- 

 spective of field qualities. Their hounds must look alike 

 even if they do not hunt alike. In a new country, w here 

 the hunting qualities of a dog are their sole value, "the best 

 dog would be naturally bred to the best bitch, no matter if 

 they were totally different in type. In consequence, an Eng- 

 lish pack is of a uniform appearance, while ours often make 

 a rather motley showing. Theirs have the symmetry and 

 other points that delight the eye, while ours have the hunt- 

 ing qualities that appeal to the huntsman. 



As a rule, our best foxhounds have that peculiar cast of 

 face, heightened by the protruding haw inherited from the 

 bloodhound that gives them a rather sleepy look. As an old 

 uiasrcf <>f hounds once told me, "Myideal hound is one that 

 at the start has almost to be kicked from under my feet. 

 Notice him in two hours, and a greenhorn would think he 

 would be winded in another half hour, but at the finish he 

 appears fresher than ever, and is as ready next day to repeat 

 the run. A lively hound is apt to be a babbler." * 



Some of the long runs made by American foxhounds seem 

 almost incredible, although vouched for by perfectly reliable 

 people. It is really a shame that this breed is not better 

 represented at our bench shows, and some effort made to 

 establish a uniform type. S. Reicfan. 



"COLONEL BLOOD" IN MASTIFFS; 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Mr. Wade's last letter on this subject calls for a reply and 

 shall have one, although I have little time to spare for pen- 

 and-ink warfare. Mr. Wade has not yet advanced a grain of 

 evidence to show that Colonel ever sired a first-class mastiff, 

 consequently my statement that "the Manchester dog never 

 sired a good one'" remains intact. 



In reply to my advice to breeders, ''Keep away" from 

 Duchess of Connaught "notwithstanding the fact that her 

 sire was that truly-formed little fluke Colonel." Mr. Wade 

 writes: "As a sire, his (Colonel's) value is found in the third 

 and fourth generation." Mr. Wade also assures us that a 

 large number of celebrated modern mastiffs are Colonel's 

 "great-grandchildren," among the number being Orlando. 

 Hotspur, Rosalind and The Lady Isabel. Ingeniously and 

 conclusively he proves beyond the range of doubt that the 

 grandchildren excel the children and the great-graudehil 

 dren the grandchildren. In other words, the further you get 

 away from Colonel the better-looking dp you find the. stock. 

 I can assure my esteemed friend that I feel deeply indebted 

 to him for having added so considerably to the weight of 

 my statement. 



Mr. Wade has a perfect right to cousider the sire or Sears' 

 Monarch a better stud dog than Ilford Caution. May he 

 live to regret his lack of judgment. If Mr, Wade is spared 

 a few years (may he live for aye) he will regret having put 

 bis signature to those lines. 



In reply to the question, "Which of our mastiff breeders 

 had ever seen a mastiff head before they saw his?" (Ilford 

 Caution's), Mr. Wade writes, "I must also dissent from the 

 statement that Caution was the first real mastiff we ever 

 imported." What is my enthusiastic friend driving at? 

 Trying to adorn the pages of Forest ami Stream, or what? 

 Let Mr. Wade name a mastiff breeder in this country who 

 had seen a first-class mastiff head previous to the importa- 

 tion of Ilford Caution. When he has done this I shall be 

 pleased to see him "dissent" to his heart's delight, but not 

 until then. 



Mr. Wade's peroration QjaV have sounded very plausible 

 to some persons, but it fell dreadfully flat on me. Here it 

 is: "In "five years the waiter < ock will veer round toils 

 old position, and Colonel. Turk, Nichols's Prince, Wolsey, 

 etc., will be mastiffs, not Crown Prince, Orlando, etc., then 

 I will have the laugh on you, and until then I can wait. " 

 The. laugh, a very loud one, is certainly on Mr. Wade. In 

 the first place the weather cock never pointed where Mr. 

 Wade innocently enough supposes, and in the second, no 

 man who had ever seen Colonel, Turk, Prince and Wolsey 

 would bunch such a conglomeration of type together and 

 flaunt it as his ideal mastiff. Wolsey was about as much 

 like Turk as Nevison. Colonel bore the same resemblance 

 to Turk that he would to Ilford Caution. Then Prince and 

 Wolsey! Take it back, Mr. Wade, take it back! One dog 

 was long, low and undersized: another long in head, rather 

 high on the legs and too short in back. A third was of aver- 

 age size, tucked up in loin and had short blunt muzzle, with 



lower incisors projecting and a repulsive expression, while 

 a fourth was just about as much* unlike what Mr. Wade 

 has been advocating for years as it would be possible to find. 



Let us hope that in the future Mr. Wade will write of 

 dogs, not of photographs. I do not exaggerate in the slight- 

 est when I say that his last contribution is within twenty- 

 five points of being as bad as Mortimer on collies. Take it 

 back. Mr. Wadet Chas. H. Mason. 



THIEVING AT DOG SHOWS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Can you not suggest to the various bench show commit- 

 tees a system whereby one might get back at least part of 

 his kennel paraphernalia from the various shows? We do 

 not expect entry fees, prizes and such luxuries, even when 

 English setters' and pointers are given into the tender 

 charge of a breeder of Hish setters to judge; but would like 

 the dogs and crates returned as complete as when sent from 

 the kennels. We took two crates of dogs (4) to one of the 

 largest of the late shows, arriving there at 11 o'clock Mon- 

 day night. At 7 o'clock on Tuesday morning we were again 

 in the building and found that during the time intervening 

 some one had taken the padlocks off of our crates and re- 

 tained them, together with sundry kennel chains, etc. We 

 quietly swallowed this, but when some one removes our 

 bench chains from the dogs on the bench and fastens two on 

 one chain, we naturally "kick," and when on top of this, 

 one of our blankets is removed from the dog and confiscated 

 we begin to "howl." It does seem as if this sort of thing 

 could be prevented if proper care was taken by the commit- 

 tees. One does not expect the superintendent to see all that 

 is going on, but he should have some assistance other than 

 the attendants, who care nothing about the dogs or the 

 owtters. We have heard of others that have had a similar 

 fate at the recent shows. Can nothing be done?

AMERICAN FIELD TRIAL CLUB. 



/CINCINNATI, O., April 28.— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 Yj We are glad to give public notice that the guarantee 

 fund requested by the club m order to insure the trials this 

 year has been received and therefore the trials will be held 

 at West Point, Miss., commencing with the Derby, Monday, 

 December 10, 1888. The notice of the club that no Derby 

 would be run was issued in view of the fact that not over 

 one-half of the guarantee was tendered at that time, and 

 knowing that the entries to other clubs closed May 1, it was 

 thought proper and right to all interested to take the sate 

 side, which was done. The requirements of the club having 

 been complied with the trials will be run. In this connection, 

 in behalf of the club, we desire to thank the large number 

 of gentlemen who have come to the front with their $3,000 

 guarantee (twice the amount asked for). 



Like the entries to field trials and bench shows, these re- 

 sponses came rather late, but they are in time and clearly 

 show that sportsmen will back any institution that gives 

 clear evidence of a determination to put field trials in the 

 West on a higher and more honorable basis; which is the 

 fixed determination of the Board of Control of this club.

RICHMOND DOG SHOW. 



OFFICE Virginia Field Sports Association, Richmond, 

 April 30.— Editor Forest and Stream: The Virginia 

 Field Sports Association are seriously considering a real first 

 class bench show at Richmond, Virginia, next October, in 

 connection with the exposition there. Everything indicates 

 that we will certainly have it. If we do, it will be on a style 

 befitting our organization. The season will be the best," as 

 in October all the cracks will be traveling South in prime 

 condition for field work. We are negotiating now for one of 

 the best managers in the country, and in correspondence 

 with Spratts for the benching, feeding, etc. We will offer 

 as fine prizes as the Westminster Kennel Club, and secure 

 the best judges to be had. Dog owners must rally to us and 

 make it a big show. The Exposition is going to be some- 

 thing fine. J no. S. Wise, Pres. 



THOSE SPRING FOXES. -Ashburnham, Mass., April 

 27.— I see by this week's issue of Forest and Stream a 

 wonderful record of nine killed in one day by a party of fox 

 hunters in Oxford, Maine. To one who dbes^not hunt foxes 

 this looks like a great day's hunt. To a fox hunter it looks 

 as though they had made out to kill a she fox full of young 

 ones. I for one am certainly glad they live in the State of 

 Maine instead of Massachusetts. In this State by common 

 consent we do not think of hunting foxes after March 1, and 

 we advise those mighty hunters next time they bag a she 

 fox not to allow Josh Jeems to give their name and address, 

 as no real fox hunter wants to know them.— H. C. Newell. 



THE MASCOUTAH KENNEL CLUB. — Editfrr Forest 

 Orid Stream: At a meeting of the Board of Directors of

 upon the present site of Chicago. The resignations of 

 Messrs. Walsh and Ward as directors were also accepted, 

 and Messrs. John L. Lincoln and F. C. Farwell elected to 

 fill the vacancies. Mr. F. C. Farwell was elected treasurer, 

 vice Mr. Walsh, resigned, and Mr. John L. Lincoln secre- 

 tary, vice Mr. Floyd,"resigned.— Chicago.
