SPANIELS FOR BENCH AND FIELD. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Absence from home has prevented an earlier reply to Mr. 

 H. G. Charlesworth's letter in your issue of July 21. I hardly 

 know what reply to make to one who is so ignorant of the 

 work a, cocker should do. Tt may be that he does not ex- 

 pect his non-sporting cockers to retrieve from water, but I 

 do, and so does any one that uses his dogs for general work; 

 for I maintain that for general field purposes the working 

 cocker is by far the hest of all dogs. Why, the name of the 

 dog should suggest to Mr. C. that he should retrieve from 

 water! I said nothing about my dogs running deer. My 

 dogs are trained as all good cockers should be to work close 

 to the gun, and I am certain that at no time while tracking 

 the deer were they over 100yds. from me. 



I should like to ask Mr. C. why be did not reply to Mr. 

 Fellows's letter in yonr issue of May 5? I suppose he thought 

 he had an opportunity to demolish some amateur breeder, 

 but he only has shown how ignorant he is in regard to a 

 cocker's work. Mr. N. A. Osgood, of the State Sportsman's 

 Association of Michigan, has used cockers for years to 

 track wounded deer. 



Mr. Charlesworth has no right to even hint that my dogs 

 are mongrels, for their breeder, Mr. Fellows, bred cockers 

 and prize winners for years before any one ever heard of Mr. 

 C, as a breeder. 



I do not breed or sell dogs, but I buy the best I can for my 

 work: and when I found where I could get good ones for the 

 field I thought it right to let my fellow sportsmen know it. 

 As "to requiring a label to enable the public to know what 

 breed they belonged to," I would say that the dog is by 

 champion Hornell Dandy out of champion Hornell Dinah, 

 and the bitch is by champion Hornell Silk out of Hornell 

 Beauty, and surely no better bred brace was ever seen in 

 America, combining as they do the blood of Brush— Rhea, 

 Obo — Bettv, and the true Burdette strain through Hornell 

 Belle, bv Beau— Blanche. 



' About "silly expressions" I would say they are not orig- 

 inal, but are appropriate; can Mr. C. compare his long, low 

 dog when plodding through the mud and water, to anything 

 else but a crocodile? (but I forget, his dogs do not take to the 

 water.) I suppose he has the blood of Beau in his kennel. 

 "Well, now. what kind of legs did Beau have if they were not 

 dachs? What resembles a weasel more than champion 

 Helen? Did not Mr. .James Watson demonstrate to the 

 fancy two years ago at New Haven that cockers then were 

 long and low enough, and at that time showed the "double 

 action Skye" movement; they are the exact words he used; 

 true then, but at every show we see worse specimens put 

 ahead of workmen. 



Mr. C. thinks his long, low dogs more than a match for 

 mine. Now I will meet him and any brace he owns at Strat- 

 ford or Paris any time during the open season. I will run 

 my brace against his for three davs for a piece of plate, he 

 to' name the value, on woodcock, ruffed grouse, snipe, or 

 anything called game in Canada, and for every inch his dogs 

 are under 13in. I will allow 10 per cent, to be added to his 

 score, so if his dogs are llin. at the shoulder I will have to 

 score ten birds to his eight. 



If I offended Mr. Kirk I tender him an apology, but "I told 

 the tale as it was told to me." 



About the eood does in Canada, the best they have were 

 imported from the States. No one ever heard of a prize 

 winner from Canada whose great grand sire and dam was 

 bred in Canada. I know as much about spa niel pedigrees as 

 any man in America, and I know that Mr. C. has none that 

 have not a cross of field spaniel blood in them, which T can 

 prove very easily. B. A. Osborne.

BEAGLES FOR BENCH AND FIELD. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Your issue of 4th inst. has just reached me and I am 

 pleased to see therein "L. H. T.'s" article, for now we have 

 obtained the opinion of one breeder whose length of valued 

 experience should rightfully claim attention. It would also 

 seem to indicate the line of policy pursued by breeders in 

 general for the past five years. 



Of course the writer is not in position to review the argu- 

 ments brought out in the discussion in which " L. H. T." 

 took so prominent a part and so thoroughly ventilated the 

 whole matter, but if I am allowed to accept the line of de- 

 fense, as evinced in his article now before me, as that used 

 so successfully at the time mentioned, I should be led to draw 

 the inference that it must have been just about the time 

 when the poor unfortunate beagle was having so severe a 

 Btrugtjle to maintain his reputation as a gentleman sports- 

 man's dog, and was compelled to seek protection in the war 

 of discussion from his only fit companions, whom "L. H. T." 

 mentions as "small bovs and negroes." 



Yes I a new set of fanciers have sprung up I am glad to 

 say, and I hope to see "L. H. T." the foremost among them 

 in improving the value of the beagle in every position he 

 may be called to fill. The new "set" cannot certainly dwarf 

 his field qualities much below what they have been during 

 the nast thirty vears. 



The history of the beagle is really an interesting one. 

 From his inception he has been overclouded with misfortune 

 and restrictions. It reads like a fairy tale from England's 

 history: that the brave war-like Britons wishing to immor- 

 talize in some living form the inferior qualities and valor of 

 their enemies, conceived the idea of perpetuating it in the 

 form of the hound whose size should symbolize its degree of 

 usefulness and position among all sporting dogs. 



A quotation from Ossian which "Corsincon" gives us in 

 his work of "British Dogs" most aptly confirms such a su- 

 perstition : 



"There is a kind of dog of mighty fame 



For hunting; worthy of a fairer frame, 



By painted Britons brave in war they're bred, 



Are beagles called, and to the chase are led. 



Their bodies small, and of so mean a shape, 



You'd thimk them curs that under tables gape," 



Poor unfortunate beagle! Coming down the ages with a 

 name signifying smallness, little, the beagle hound must 

 have had a checkered career. But I find in following "Cor- 

 sincon," Stonehenge and Markham in their writings, that 

 he finally earned his release from bondage, and in size and 

 form developed out from a dwarf "singing beagle" into a 

 respectable sized dog, a worthy member of the grand old 

 family of hounds. From a maximum height of 9in. in its 

 earlier days, it has been allowed to attain the respectable 

 size of 15in. and still retain its original name, although in 

 size it has long since forfeited all just claims to its original 

 Celtic blue-blood name. 



It does seem to me a very shallow argument indeed, hold- 

 ing up in defense of its size, the fact that its name signifies 

 what the size proper should be. The whole history of the 

 little hound, from time of Queen Elizabeth down, is one of 

 controversy as to its size, and our beagle of to-day is proof of 

 itself that gradually from 9in. they have reached an allowed 

 height of 15in. 



In the light of past history and facts let us return to 

 "L. H. T.'s" article, and note his comments on my beagles 

 as given in a former issue. 



He asks, "are they beagles?" and after giving us the literal 

 translation of the Celtic word "be^ele," he at once declares 

 on the authority of the above definition that they are ruled 

 out and are sailing under false colors, not being purely bred 

 beagles. I am compelled to take issue on this point, and for 

 $ie special information of "L, H, T," say that the beagles 



mentioned hold certificates of as good blood (beagle) as runs 

 in the veins of any dog in this country, unless "L. H. T." 

 has also ruled out such beagles as Ringwood, Victor, Lucy, 

 Queen, Maida and Old Bess, in which case I have nothing 

 more to say. 



Such an argument comes to me with surprise from a 

 breeder of forty years. The fact that I or any other owner 

 should breed above 15in. is positive evidence that they are 

 not purely-bred beagles is too careles a statement to come 

 from one of such experience. 



I have observed a difference of 2 to 3in. in one litter. In 

 fact, there came to my observation at one of our late bench 

 shows where a beagle dog measuring 15)^in. was entirely 

 ignored, whose points otherwise would have scored far be- 

 yond the best winner. He was in all respects a beauty, and. 

 while I recognized the justice in following the law govern- 

 ing beagles, fully realized that an injury was being done the 

 breed in restricting to such a size limit. 



"L. H. T." admits that the 13, 14orl5in. dog cannot keep 

 up with the "big dog," referring to lT^in. If such is the 

 fact, will a pack of smaller beagles run any more evenly or 

 smoothly than a pack of 17>£in. ? I grant they will run more 

 slowly, and at this rate of speed ought to last all day; but if 

 you are after such sized rabbits as are found in this section, 

 the chances are that the rabbit will run just about as 

 "evenly and smoothly" as the dogs do, and a day's run 

 would result in plenty of exercise and little game. 



"L. H. T." must know, with his experience in the brush, 

 that in close, thick work the beagle is faster and surer than 

 the foxhound, and on cold scent is far superior. If we can 

 obtain better work from 17in. beagles than from l<lin.,we 

 have still greater advantage over the foxhound. I will even 

 go further, and state as my belief that a beagle of 17^in. will 

 prove superior to any harrier of 20 or 22in. We found such 

 to be our experience the past season, and are going to experi- 

 ment still further the coming fall. 



The exposure of the present condition of our bench win- 

 ners, as given in "L. H. T.'s" article is most deplorable, I 

 confess, and should call forth a rigid inquiry as to field qual- 

 ities of our present champions. H. H. 



SPANIEL SPECIAL AT DETROIT. — Brantford, Out., 

 Aug. 15.— Editor Forest and Stream: I have waited for Mr. 

 Charlesworth to acknowledge the Detroit spaniel special as 

 publicly as he demanded it through your columns. He, 

 however, has not seen fit to do so, nor has he by word or 

 letter condescended to let me know that he has got it. The 

 facts regarding it are as follows: When Mr. C. wrote me 

 that it should have gone to his dog I replied that I thought 

 the judge who awarded it was the proper person to rescind 

 it, but I added that I had written to the secretary, asking 

 bim the value of the prize, as I had already given the orig- 

 inal away. Although I afterward wrote two more letters to 

 the worthy secretary with the same request, I was unable to 

 get an answer from him on the subject, the only mention he 

 made of the matter was "I wish you would write to him 

 (Mr. C.) direct and settle with him." I was therefore obliged 

 to ask the return of the prize from the person to whom I had 

 presented it, and it was sent to Mr. Charlesworth's address 

 on July 27, a full week before his note appeared in your 

 paper. Although this is three weeks ago he has not even 

 condescended to acknowledge its receipt either to me or 

 through your valuable columns in the same manner in 

 which he demanded it.— Chas. M. Nelles (Brant Cocker 

 Kennels).
