BEAUFORT— PATTI M. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Now that the American Kennel Club has placed itself on 

 record as upholding a wrong act, and a violation of the A. 

 K. C. rules, permit me to present the real facts of the Beau- 

 fort — Patti M. contest, aud also to reply to the communica- 

 tion of Mr. C. J. Peshall, which appeared in the Forest and 

 Stream of May 26. Most of your readers are aware of the 

 cause of the protest, but to eulighten them more fully I 

 quote from the Turf, Field and Farm's report of the 

 Waverly show bearing upon this special prize: 



We had hoped to be able to say that the show was an entire 

 success and devoid of anv unpleasant features, but such is not the 

 case. Mr. Peshall, president of the club, anxious to attract a 

 large entry of pointers and setters, announced through the sport- 

 ing press before the entries closed two specials for $50 each, 

 donated by him for the best pointer or setter and best brace of 

 either breed. When the entries closed, Mr. Peshall found that 

 the Graphic Kennels and some other leading kennels were 

 not represented. Under the rules of which we have always 

 found Mr. Peshall a strict constructionist, no additional entries 

 could oe received, hut it was thought feasible to offer an 

 inducement in tlie shape of a pointer sweepstake of $5 each, 

 open to all comers; Mr. Peshall liberally added $50 to this 

 amount and the experiment was made, it failed as we 

 believed it would to bring in any number of entries, the 

 stake closing with three, Nick of Naso, owned by Mr. Peshall; 

 Patti M., winner of first in small bitch class; and one minute 

 before the time set for closing Mr. Peshall entered Beaufort, who 

 was catalogued "not for competition." When the special was 

 offered we were under the impression that Mr. Mason would "try 

 for it," to use his language. Mr. Peshall. however, plainly aud 

 positively said in our hearing that Beaufort would not compete. 

 Secretary Vredenburgh also was thus informed, and before Patti 

 M. was entered he told Mr. Munhall that Beaufort had not been 

 entered, otherwise, so Mr. Munhall tells us, he would not have 

 competed at all, belie ving that Mr. Davidson's opinion of Beau- 

 fort would render such competition tmneeessary. 



In presenting my protest I claimed that as Beaufort was 

 entered not for competition, he forfeited all rights to com- 

 pete for any prize over which the show had any control, and 

 cited Rule 6 of the A. K. C, which makes it necessary for a 

 dog to compete in regular class in order to compete for 

 specials. The conditions attached to a special prize by the 

 donor, when they conflict with the rules, cannot be carried 

 out if objection is made by any exhibitor interested. 



At the meeting of the A. K. C, Dee. 6 last, my appeal 

 from Delegate P'eshalPs decision was heard and decided 

 against me by the following vote: Ayes 4, nays 3, blank 4. 

 The secretary, Mr. Vredenburgh, voted the Pittsburgh 

 proxy contrary to Article IV. of the Constitution, which is 

 as follows: 



Officers of the American Kennel Club shall not be privileged to 

 vote unon business before the executive committee unless regu- 

 larly elected delegates from their clubs, except the president, who 

 shall have the casting vote in case of a tie. 



At the meeting May 6, I asked for a rehearing of my ap- 

 peal upon the ground that the vote at the meeting Dec. 6 

 was illegal as the secretary had acted as proxy for the Pitts- 

 burgh Club, in violation of Article 4 of the Constitution. 

 The rehearing was allowed and the case decided in my favor. 

 I doubt the correctness of President Smith's entertaining 

 Secretary Vredenburgh's motion to reconsider, but claim 

 that the A. K. C. must have given me a rehearing by general 

 consent, as its former action would uot hold. I take issue 

 with Mr. Peshall as to his interpretation of Article 4. It is 

 plain English, and clearly says that an officer of the A, K. 

 C. cannot vote the proxy of a club of which he is not a mem- 

 ber, 



Mr. Peshall criticises me for having voted upon a case in 

 which I was personally interested. In extenuation for such 

 action I will state that I refused to vote upon the question 

 of a reconsideration, but as Mr. Peshall voted, and as I con- 

 sider him as much of a party interested as myself, I did vote 

 upon the main question to offset his vote. 'Right here per- 

 mit me to say that my club approves of my course, and back 

 me up in my claims. Much has been said about my having 

 transfered the proxy intrusted to me by Gen, Shattuc, to Mr. 

 Flanna. The following letter will no doubt satisfy these 

 gentlemen that I did not abuse the confidence imposed in 

 me: 



Cincinnati, O., July 16.— C. M. Munhall, Esq.— Dear Sir: I notice 

 in the Fob est and Stream, this week's issue, the question is 

 raised whether you had authority to transfer the proxy of this 

 club given to your club to vote at the May meeting of the Ameri- 

 can Kennel Club in New York. I beg to say to you that you had 

 full authority to use this proxy just as you did do, and without 

 any evidence on the subject, it is presumption on the part of any 

 one to insinuate that you had no such authority, or that you were 

 misusing the authority given you by our club. Our club fully 

 indorses your claims, waiving, perhaps, some technicalities, but as 

 to the merits In the case you undoubtedly are right. Under the 

 spirit of the rules of the American Kennel Club, it is clearly the 

 intent to force any dog which is to compete for any special prize 

 to be entered in the regular class, and any club holding a show 

 under the auspices of the American Kennel Club or its rules, has 

 no right to change these conditions. If I understand the ease, you 

 entered your dog regularly, and after entries had closed this out- 

 side business was permitted by the local club after you had entered, 

 and a dog not entered in the regular classes was permitted to com- 

 pete with your dog, which to our mind is cleMte^rong. There 

 are some parliarmeutary questions, however.., In this matter, 

 which 1 have not time to review, hut simply on the merits of the 

 case, without regard to any technicalities at all, you certainly are 

 right. This letter is not a private one; you may make any use of 

 it "you wish to.— Yours truly, W. B, Shattdc, President Cincin- 

 nati Sportsmen's Club. 



To show your readers that I have good reasons for contest- 

 ing this case as I have done, I feel called upon to present 

 some facts and charges, which is not to the credit of Mr. 

 Peshall or the New Jersey Kennel Club. In the first place I 

 charge that Mr. Peshall never gave the prize, but that the 

 money, $50, was donated by two gentlemen, whose names it 

 is uot necessary to make public. When the entries for the 

 Waverly show'had closed, the Graphic Kennels did not ap- 

 pear among the list. It was a great disappointment to the 

 N. J. K. C. to have one of the most, noted kennels of the 

 country, who were right at their door, decline to exhibit 

 their dogs at their home show. An explanation was asked 

 for and given, when the sweepstake prize was suggested as a 

 bait to get them into the show. The S50 was donated, not 

 by Mr. Peshall, but by other parties. The prize was accepted 

 by the N. J. K. C, but a certain promise made to the Graphic 

 people could not be carried out to their satisfaction, and 

 they refused to make any entries. , The prize had to go, Mr. 

 Mason saw his opportunity to win $50. took advantage of the 

 Graphic Kennels' absence, and sent Beaufort into the ring, 

 which he would not have done if Revel III. had been there. 

 He explained his actions by saying that he "needed the 

 money." May be he did, but that does not excuse the N. J. 

 K. C. for permitting a violation of A. K. C. rules. Mr. 

 Peshall admitted to me personally that the prize was poorly 

 given, and had full knowledge of all the facts pertaining to 

 the case: and no man knows better than himself that Beau- 

 fort had no right to compete for the prize. 



Summed up these facts present themselves. Mr. Peshall 

 permitted his name to appear as donor of a prize when he 

 was not, and thereby was party to a scheme for a certain dog 

 to win the sweepstake, which was known by him could be 

 done, under the gentleman who was to judge. As president 

 of the N. J. K. C, their delegate to the A. K. C. and the ad- 

 vertised donor of the prize, he has voted on all occasions to 

 sustain his own decision. The N. J. K. C. accepted this 

 prize, knowing that by its conditions it could not be com- 

 peted for under A. K. C. rules. 



Mr. Mason compromised himelf "as he was one of the 

 judges," by taking advantage of the absence of the dog which 

 was known could win, and entered his dog for the prize, and 

 won. And now the A. K. C. by a majority of its members 

 indorse all this; and approve by their vote of the breaking of 

 its own rules. C, M. Munhall.

RAISING HOUND PUPPIES. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Since advertising my foxhound puppies in your paper I 

 have had some dozen or more letters, and as some of them 

 want to knowthe best method of raising and breaking them, 

 I would like to answer them through your paper. To com- 

 mence I want good stock and the bitch to be two years old 

 before having a litter, aud while carrying her pups to have 

 her liberty, and up to within a week or so of whelping to be 

 hunted as much as possible, as I think it develops the hunt- 

 ing instinct in the pups and that they will commence to run 

 much earlier than where the bitch is kept tied. As soon as 

 the pups have got their eyes open, put them out on the bare 

 ground with a shelter to get under and a good nest of straw 

 to sleep in. As soon as they begin to eat, I give them for the 

 first t wo weeks sour milk three times a day, all they will eat. 

 Then begin to feed the same that I give my old dogs, which 

 is clear lean meat and Indian meal . I have a kettle th at holds 

 five or six beef heads with the cheeks left on, these I boil 

 four or five hours, then skin off the tall ow aud when cool 

 enough to handle take out the heads and give them a shake 

 over a tub; the meat will all drop off. While it is warm salt 

 it well and stir uutil the meat is fine and well mixed, then 

 spread it out about an inch thick, cover with mosquito net- 

 ting to keep off flies, and dry in the sun; when well dried it 

 will keep a long time in the hottest weather. Every morn- 

 ing I take a piece, pour on boiling water and let it boil till it 

 becomes fine, then add Indian meal enough to make a stiff 

 pudding and feed at night, only one meal a day, whether 

 hunting or not; but when running them every day I give 

 them a big meal, and in the summer time not more than 

 half as much. I have fed this for years and never had a case 

 of mange, which I think is generally caused by a too greasy 

 diet. I never doctor for distemper aud h ave never lost a pup. 

 If they are strong they will pull through providing they do 

 not catch cold, and are kept in good warm quarters. 



The pups that can be in the company of the old dogs, and 

 best of all their mother, generally make the best hunters; 

 and if they can be kept in the country where there are foxes 

 they require no breaking, as they will very early get to going 

 with the older dogs; but auy one that has to keep his dogs 

 in the city had better buy dogs a couple of years old than to 

 take the best pup for a gift, as they are sure to be in mis- 

 chief and get whipped; and a hound pup that has been 

 whipped much might as well be buried. A whipping that 

 would teach a setter something will take all the grit out of 

 a young hound. 



Some hunters think it spoils young dogs for foxes if they 

 run hares and rabbits. Mine always chase them in the sum- 

 mer, but will not mind them as soon as I begin to hunt; but 

 they like the taste of a young rabbit and will dig all day to 

 get at one. _ 



I hope to see some accounts of good hunts this fall. Foxes 

 are. not very plenty this fall, but enough so I can start one 

 any morning. H. C. NEWELL.

THE HORNELLSVILLE DOG SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Sir caw : 



The second annual bench show of the Hornell Kennel Club 

 held here this week was quite a nice little show. It was held 

 on the exposition grounds under the auspices of the Hornell 

 Farmers' Club. There were 123 dogs entered, many of them 

 well known winners. On Wednesday and Thursday the 

 weather was fine and large crowds were in constant attend- 

 ance, on Friday there was rain and but comparatively few 

 were present. The show was managed by Mr. J. O. Fellows 

 and the arrangements gave general satisfaction. The St. 

 Bernards of the Hospice Kennel, the deerhounds and bulldogs 

 of the Hillside Kennel and the spaniels of the Hornell Spaniel 

 Club made in themselves quite a respectable show. There 

 were also some good collies headed by the well known Null- 

 amore and Clipper, the latter in very poor condition, The 

 bob-tail aheap dog Sir Lucifer came in for more than his 

 share of attention/ Some one, Uncle Dick I guess, pasted a 

 placard over him stating that he had won innumerable prizes 

 and killed a fabulous number of wolves, aud in consequence 

 there was an immense crowd around his stall mostly all the 

 time. No money prizes were offered, the club giving bronze 

 medals instead. 'The exhibitors appeared to enjoy themselves 

 and a good time was the verdict of all. Following is a list 

 of the

BEAGLES FOR BENCH AND FIELD. 



ClOOKSTOWN, Ont, Aug. SI.— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 i I have been much interested in the letters which have 

 lately appeared in your paper on the beagle question. I must 

 sav that my experience in the field does not tally with that 

 of""H. H." I have found that size has nothing to do with a 

 beagle's hunting or staying qualities in the field provided he 

 is bred right. A pure beagle should never exceed 15 inches, 

 and may run as low as 10; 12 is to my fancy the most perfect 

 size. H. H.'s dogs may be very handsome hounds and first 

 class in the field, but they are certainly not beagles. Are they 

 not harriers ? Surely a hound from 16 to 20 inches is a harrier. 

 I have owned and bred beagles for the last ten years; these 

 beagles are bred from the very best stock in America, I have 

 found a 12 inch beagle quite as good in the field as his larger 

 brother of 15 inches; besides a pack of 12 inch dogs are much 

 easier carried and looked after than a larger sized pack. I 

 hunt, my beagles after the large American hare (we have no 

 rabbits here) that turns white in the winter; these hares are 

 very plentiful in this locality. When started, this hare runs 

 from 40 to 50 yards ahead of my beagles and I am always 

 sure of a shot. Now when I used years ago (before I owned 

 a pack of beagles) to hunt this hare with foxhounds, when 

 lucky enouglTto sight the hare I alway sighted him from 100 

 to 150 vards ahead of the dogs and going for all he was worth 

 right away, and that was the last I would see of him or the 

 dogs perhaps for a couple of hours or more. How different 

 it is with my little beagles, I can sit down on a log and enjoy 

 their beautiful music as the merry little fellows hunt their 

 quarry round and round me, and when satisfied with listening 

 to them (which to me is the best of the sport) shoot the hare. 

 I would often spare the hare but am compelled to kill him 

 as the only means of stopping mv dogs. My beagles run from 

 1134 to 13 inches, and are bred from champion stock. The 

 best field beagle i ever owned was a black, white and tan 12 

 in. dog. By all means have field trial meetings for the beagle, 

 but do not raise the standard. H. B. N.
