HARE DOGS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In northern New England we often hearthis question from 

 sportsmen : "Why is it we cannot get reliable rabbit hounds?" 

 It is a fact that our best rabbit, or properly speaking, hare 

 hounds will, at times, and often, too, lose one of these 

 "racers" in the most aggravating manner, After diligent 

 observation and inquiry, I have yet to learn of a single dog 

 that was even approximately infallible in the pursuit of 

 these timid denizens of our fur thickets. We have a goodly 

 number of hounds hereabouts that will follow a fox for 

 several days over as rough fox country as there is in the 

 United States, with the ideal fox-hound sagacity and perse- 

 verance; but not a hare dog that will not lose from one to 

 half a dozen hares every time he is taken out. Gentlemen in 

 my own town have gone to great trouble and expense in pro- 

 curing dogs for this fascinating sport; but as a rule they 

 prove to be useless. There are reasons for this difficulty, I 

 think. Firstly, our hares give out very little scent anyway. 

 Secondly, they are generally hunted after a snow storm, 

 which in these latitudes are by no means always damp 

 storms. Thirdlv, the hares take long jumps in running. 

 Fourthly, the dog's barking jumps other hares, which 

 will often cross, or follow along in for a distance the 

 runway of the hare first jumped. Finally a small 

 dog will sink in nearly out of sight in the deep, 

 dry snow, of which we have so much on our moun- 

 tains, and a large dog in a light fall of snow will run 

 altogether too fast. Unfortunately, we cannot always have 

 such a depth of snow as will be adapted to each kind of dog. 

 I am convinced that dogs which will do well on the kind 

 found south of us are almost useless on Southern hares. 

 Beagles we find too small and large hounds too fast. 



Is there no remedy then? I think there is. By crossing 

 beagles with hounds of the Virginia foxhound blood, for 

 instauce, both sire and dam being trained on hares and 

 nothing else, and with an occasional new infusion of blood, 

 of the same character, obtain, in due course of time, the 

 much desired result— a dog of good nose, cunning and grit, 

 with the strength to make his way through deep snow, and 

 not too fast. I am a firm believer in the laws of heredity, 

 and I opine that characteristics of mind and bodv may be 

 cultivated and improved in dogs by painstaking breeding, 

 as surely as one or the other orboth have been in the cases 

 of hogs, cattle and horses. 



Many of the patrons of your journal must have hare dogs, 

 let us hear from them as to how their dogs were bred and 

 broken, and, although numbers of them may not support 

 me in my statement" as to the present inefficiency of the hare 

 dog they may enlighten those who have made observations 

 similar to DALP. 



THE DOGS OF ANTIQUITY. 



ClANINE historical times take us as far back as the ancient 

 ' Egyptians, whose regard for those intelligent animals 

 was so great as to lead them to exalt them to the rank of 

 deities. However preposterous this fact may now appear to 

 some of us, it may strike one that the bewigged inhabitants 

 of the Nile Valley were not so dark in mind as in body, for, 

 grateful for the important sanitary services rendered by the 

 scavenger dogs that abounded in their great cities, they 

 sh owe? f their appreciation by paying them homage after their 

 fashion. Then let us not glance with such a consciousness 

 of enlightment at the puppy mummies that stare so inanely 

 from the glass cases of the British Museum, for some day 

 future rejetoris of the "coming race" may look with a grim 

 smile upon the tombstone of Darwin. 



Laving aside some mongrel forms, two distinct species 

 only are depicted on the ancient Egyptian monuments, one 

 a tall, strong-limbed greyhound, either spotted black and 

 white, or of a dun color; the other a terrier-looking little 

 beast, very similar to the oft-recurring jackal, but different 

 in a characteristic tail. 



The Assyrians of old were keen sportsmen and rivalled, 

 or. perhaps, eclipsed, the boasted record of some of our 

 mighty Nimrods, for they fearlessly hunted the lion and 

 tiger in an age when repeating rifles and breechloading shot- 

 guns were yet buried ages deep in the future. 



In the royal battues the game was brought down with no 

 other weapons than bow and arrow and the deadly javelin; 

 but the huntsmen were accompanied in the chase by huge, 

 fierce dogs, resembling the gigantic Thibetan mastiff, on 

 whose courage they greatly depended for their safety. Re- 

 lays of the somewhat gaunt-looking steeds of the country 

 and period must have been necessary to enable the Nineve- 

 han grandees to followthe strong-muscled hounds after their 

 favorite prey, the swift-footed wild ass, and rich must 

 have been the sport as they careened in full cry through 

 plain and over rocky hillsides. Probably to a similar breed 

 belonged the dog sent as a present to Alexander the Great 

 by the King of Albania, which Pliny mentions in his 

 "Natural History." This dog, when turned loose before 

 bears, wild boars and stags, refused to attack them. This 

 conduct so disgusted the monarch that he ordered theanimal 

 to be destroyed, but the King of Albania hearing of this, 

 sent him another, with the recommendation to put before 

 the noble animal antagonists worthy of its strength and 

 courage. Thereupon Alexander had a lion provided, and the 

 dog was liberated. In twenty seconds the back of the lion 

 was broken. An elephant was next selected for an encounter 

 with this Molossus, with equally fatal results; the mastodon, 

 bewildered by incessant and lightning-like attacks on all 

 sides, gradually became giddy and finally came down with 

 a crash, the ground shaking with the fall, to the intense and 

 demonstrative delight of the great conqueror. 



In ancient times dogs apparently "took the shilling," as 

 we have an account of a king of Garamantes being brought 

 back from exile by 300 dogs "which he maintained to com- 

 bat against all his opponents." 



Pliny also tells us that "the people of Colonophon and 

 Costaboh kept troops of dogs for the purpose of war, and 

 these used to fight in the front rank and w r ere never known 

 to retreat; they were faithful auxiliaries," and what was 

 quite an item required no pay except food and lodging. 

 History does not inform us whether the regimental cook ever 

 worked up surplus or decrepid dogs into bolognas— some- 

 times silence speaks more eloquently than words. 



Wolf dogs and greyhounds, with a smaller spaniel-like 

 breed, are the dogs of tener recorded by Greek art. The two 

 former seem to have been chiefly used by the chase, and the 

 latter appears as a favorite with the gentler sex, denicted on 

 the decorated va3es of the time. In the scene illustrating 

 the recognition between Ulysses and his faithful dog Argus, 

 we find "the dog is of the large sporting kind with long 

 head, square muzzle and curved tail." 



Homer mentions table dogs; these in paintings and sculp- 

 tures of banquet scenes are shown picking up crumbs, a 

 privilege they sometimes shared with favorite roosters, the 

 silver spurred "royal games." But we are sorry to say our 

 faithful friend and servitors have not been equally well 

 treated in all countries. In Svgaros, an island lying off the 

 promontory of Ras-el-Had, they were sedulously expelled 

 from the interior and left to wander and die on the seashore, 

 a most extraordinary proceeding which is wholly unex- 

 plained. Cruelty of some character appears occasionally 

 pleasant to mankind, and such exhibitions as those afforded 

 by the Roman circus have their modified representations in 

 the tournaments and jousts of the middle ages, as well as in 

 the bull fights of the present day. 



Sculptured specimens of Molossian dogs may be seen at 

 the entrance of the Sulci dcgli Animali, m the'Vatican. In 

 the Graeco-Roman saloon of the British Museum there is a 

 statuette representing the metamorphosis of Acteon; the in- 



discreet huntsman being attacked by his hounds, which are 

 of the wolf-dog variety. In the lower room there is also a 

 capital marble group of two greyhounds at play, from the 

 Monte Cognolo, near Rome. 



It is noticeable that none of the old greyhounds have the 

 thinness of limbs of our modern ones, and the puppy trails 

 of those in the latter specimen are very evident. Ancient, 

 writings give us so many testimonials of the dog's fidelity 

 and intelligence that it would require a volume of no mean 

 size to hold them. Frank Hetwoor. 



COON DOGS.— Editor Forest and Stream: In reply 

 to "W. C." in yours of Jan. 27, I would say that when 

 I was young coon hunting was my steady diet. When a 

 collegian, Bose and Tiger absorbed much more of my at- 

 tention than Caesar's Commentaries or Davies's mathematics. 

 The result of my observation was that a. cross betweeu a 

 hound and a "yaller" dog was the best coon dog. If the 

 ''yaller" was a collie, it did first rate; a snapping dog is the 

 thing to handle a coon singly, and if a wildcat is stirred up 

 by mistake, nothing but a "snap and let go" dog has any 

 business there. A hold-fast like a bulldog would be disem- 

 bowelled in short order. Nowadays that we have got past 

 "yaller" dogs, I would suggest the cross of a hound on a 

 Bedlington or other large terrier. If the Airedales are. 

 thoroughly good vermin (logs, 1 should think they would be 

 the thing, adding weight, power and "varmint" capacity to 

 the cross. An old hound who has lost the edge off of his 

 speed often makes a good coon dog, but my observation was 

 that the hound lacked the vermin-killing taste that is wanted 

 in a coon dog. What glorious fun coon hunting is. Fox 

 hunting is well enough in its way, but if in a deer district 

 some of you "sportsmen" axe sure to kill a hound if the un- 

 fortunate gets on the trail of a deer, and if there ever was a 

 hound that wouldn't run a deer trail or chivy a goat, I 

 wouldn't have him, for he wouldn't be able to scent his din- 

 ner if ten yards away. Then, there is no knowing where a 

 fox chase may lead you to, and the most ardent hunter has 

 legs that will get tired climbing over hills and rocks. A 

 coon chase is so easily gotten up, has such a free and easy 

 way about it, no wrangling about "There, Flute is ahead," 

 followed by "You're a liar, it's Lead," a lot of wrangling 

 about something they know nothing of, and in the nature of 

 things can't know anything of. Then the fun of climbing a 

 tree after a coon, to find that the dog has "lied," is immense, 

 not in the eyes of the climber, but in those who witness it, 

 and who are not the owners of the. dog that "lied.', Then 

 again, the murderous instinct of mankind is gratified in a 

 coon chase, for the rule is that you "kill something," while 

 if you do it in a fox hunt the chances are you don't see it. — 



MR. H. WYNDHAM CARTER.— At Maidstone, on Satur- 

 day, before Mr. Justice Denman, Harry Wyndham Carter, 

 described in the calendar as a journalist, was charged with 

 feloniously wounding Frederick Willson, with intent to 

 maim. Mr. Kemp, Q. C, and Mr. Grain appeared for the 

 prosecution; and Mr. Cock, Q. C, and Mr. Gill defended. 

 Two bailiffs were trying to enter the house of the prisoner 

 under a bill of sale. The prisoner came to the window, 

 which was a projecting one, warned the bailiffs three times, 

 and then fired down upon one of them with a revolver but 

 missed him, as he took slielter underneath the window. The 

 other then called out that Carter was a coward to shoot at 

 the head. On this Carter fired at the second man. The 

 revolver was loaded with cartridges filled with No. 8 shot, 

 which Carter had had made for the purpose. The bailiff was 

 shot in the face and head, and one of the shots entering the 

 eye, caused loss of sight. It appeared that Carter, in conse- 

 quence of threats utt ered against a collector of income-tax, 

 had been bound over to keep the peace on a former occasion. 

 In the result he was found guilty of unlawful wounding. 

 The judge, in giving sentence, said it was a very bad case, 

 and inflicted on him the maximum penalty of five years' 

 penal servitude.— The (London) Times. 



LARGE MASTIFF PUPPIES. — Fair Haven, Vt.,Feb. 1.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: In reply to Mr. Haldeman's 

 communication of Jan. 27, claiming the largest mastiff bitch 

 of which there is any record, I agree with him that his is a 

 very large one, but not equaled by several I could give, sired 

 by Mr. Winchell's Boss, at Tmos'. old. I gave, the weight of 

 my Boss's Zulu, 1321bs.; Boss's Major, 124Vjlbs.; Boss's Joe, 

 tlSlbs. The tw r o bitches of this litter were sick with the dis- 

 temper nearly one month previous, and weighed only a trifle 

 more than they did at 6mos. Boss's Meg weighed llSj^lbs., 

 Boss's Venus, the titman of the litter, weighed 1091 bs. " Mr. 

 Winchell's Boss's Minnie (A.K.R, 3374) at Tmos. weighed 

 119X1 bs., now at 13mos. weighs 1531bs. I doubt if the, weight 

 of any one all in one litter was ever equaled before. Also, I 

 question if there ever was a mastiff stud dog that shows such 

 a record.— Chas. R. Alleit. 



BESSIE'S PEDIGREE.— Haverhill, Mass., Feb. 6.— Editor 

 Forest and Stream: In your issueof Jan. 20 Mr. W. B.Wells 

 of Chatham, Ont., states that Bessie's pedigree is false. If 

 it be true why did not Mr. Wells or Mr. Brown dispute it 

 in 1885, when she was advertised for sale in Forest and 

 Stkkam by Mr. Harrington; also when she was exhibited at 

 Boston in the same year by A. R. Fowler, Newburvport, 

 Mass. When I purchased Bessie from G. H. Lang, Haver- 

 hill, Mass., he gave me the following pedigree of Bessie: 

 black and white ticked. Bred by A. W. Harrington, Ruth- 

 ven, Ont., whelped April, 1S84, owned by J. B. Bolton, New- 

 buryport, Mass. She is by Mingo out of Fausta II. If this 

 pedigree is genuine, as they claim it t» be, let them come 

 out and show their colors. — I. Tenney. 



THE PROVIDENCE DOG SHOW. — The first show of 

 the Rhode Island Kennel Club will be held at Providence, 

 R. I., March 29 to April 1. The premiums offered are silver 

 medals in the champion classes, and $10 and $5, in all of 

 the prominent classes, with $8 and $4 in the others, and 

 diplomas in the puppy classes. The Secretary writes that 

 $250 in cash is already offered in special prizes and that 

 enough more is expected to give each of the classes a hand- 

 some sum. We have no doubt that the entry list will be a 

 large one. As this will be the initial exhibition of the 

 Providence Club it is greatly to be hoped that the organizers 

 may meet such success as will encourage them to give other 

 shows in the future. 



THE NATIONAL FIELD TRIALS CLUB. — Editor 

 Forest and Stream: Notice is hereby given that there will 

 be a meeting of the Executive Committee of the National 

 Field Trials Club at the Burnet House, Cincinnati, Ohio, at 

 10 A. M. on Monday, February 21, for the purpose of investi- 

 gating the charges preferred in the matter of the handling 

 of Ben Hill in the Ben Hill-Lillian heat at the recent 

 trials, and for the consideration of such other business as 

 may properly be brought before the committee. Members of 

 the club and all interested are invited to attend. By order 

 of the Executive Committee.— W. B. SliATTUC, President. 



SPANIEL SWEEPSTAKES. — The American Spaniel 

 Club offer a sweepstake for field spaniels whelped in 1886, 

 also a sweepstake for cocker spaniels.— A. G. Wilmerding, 

 Secretary, 17 Murray street, New York. 



THE BOSTON DOG SHOW.-The New England Kennel 

 Club are making every effort to have their coming show the 

 best that has ever been held in Boston. The "premiums 

 offered are very liberal, $20, $10 and a medal in nearly all the 

 classes, besides a large number of special prizes, many of 



them being in cash. The club have taken the lead in allow- 

 ing puppies to be withdrawn the second day of the show. 

 This is a very sensible arrangement that we are sure will be 

 pleasing to exhibitors, and the example will doubtless be 

 followed by other clubs.
