FOREST AND STREAM 



[Dec. 20^ 1888. 



three sohoes before lie put her from her form or seat. To 

 the end the dogs may gaze about, and attend her starting. 



"They ought to have twelve score yards law before the 

 riogs are loosed, unless there be danger of losing her. That 

 dog that gives the first turn, and if after that there be 

 neither cote, slip or wrench, then he wins the wager. If 

 one dog give the first turn, and the other bears the hare, 

 he that bears the hare shall win. 



"A go-by, or bearing the hare, is reputed equivalent to 

 two turns! If neither dog turn the hare, he that leadeth 

 last to the covert wins. If one dog turns the hare, serves 

 himself, and turns her again, it is as much as a cote; for a 

 cote is esteem'd two turns. 



"If all the course be equal, he that bears the hare shall 

 win, and if he be not born, the course shall be adjudged 

 dead. 



"If a dog take a fall in a course, and yet perform his part, 

 he may challenge the advantage of a turn more than he 



"If a dog turn the hare, serve himself, and give divers 

 cotes, and yet in the end stand still in the field, the other 

 dog, if he turns home to the covert, although he gives no 

 turn, shall be adjudged to win the wager. If by misfortune 

 a dog be rid over in his course, the course is void; and to say 

 truth, he that did the mischief ought to make reparationfor 

 the damage. 



"If a dog give the first and last turn, and there be no 

 other advantage betwixt them, he that gave the odd turn 

 shall win, 



"A cote is,.when the greyhound goeth endways by his 

 fellow, and gives the hare a turn. 



"A cote serves for two turns, and two trippings or jerkins 

 for a cote; and if she turneth not quite about she only 

 wrencheth. 



"If there be no cotes given between a brace of greyhounds, 

 but that one of them serves the other at turning, then he 

 that gives the bare the most turns wins the wager; and if 

 one gives as many turns as the other, then he that beareth 

 the hare wins the wager. 



"Sometimes the hare doth not turn, but wrench; for she is 

 not properly said to turn, except she turns as it were round, 

 and two wrenches stand for a turn. 



"He that conies in first to the death of the hare takes her 

 up. and saves her from breaking, cherisheth the dogs, and 

 cleanseth their mouths from the wool, is adjudged to have 

 the hare for his pains. 



"Those that are judges of the leash must give their judg- 

 ment presently, before they depart out of the field." 



These rules were afterward substantially adopted by the 

 Coursing Club of Swaffhatn, founded by Lord Or ford, in 

 1776. From that time on, private coursing has been on the 

 decline in England, and now it is seldom that a hare is 

 coursed except by one of the duly organized clubs. These 

 clubs have taken great care in breeding greyhounds for this 

 sport. The hare is never coursed in an inclosure. That is, 

 there is always a city of refuge for the hare to escape, as 

 sportsmen consider it not only cruelty but unmanly to 

 deprive an animal of what is termed its law or natural 

 means of escape or defense. At the great coursing meet in 

 18S5, of the Haydock Park course, only nine hares were 

 killed out of sixty-eight courses run. And in the course of 

 the Occidental Coursing Club of California, held last month, 

 out of twenty-five hares coursed, seven escaped. Now we 

 can readily see from the above that it is the excitement of 

 the chase as well as the invigorating and healthful exercise 

 experienced by those engaged in the sport as well as the 

 artistic skill displayed by the sportsman that has rendered 

 coursing popular, as well as being regarded as one of the 

 legitimate sports in England as well as in this country. 



The greyhound with his fleetness and endurance when 

 pitted against the hare with his fleetness and cunningness 

 surely make an interesting and exciting run. The speed of 

 the two is about equal, the dog having the greater endur- 

 ance, but which is usually overcome by the cunningness of 

 the hare, which by dodges and turns forces the dog to give 

 the go-by. 



Rabbits and coneys are never used for coursing in Eng- 

 land. Some of the lower classes have for years, when not 

 prevented by the officers of the Royal Society, baited rab- 

 bits with a dog called whippet, and in t he last few years 

 the same class have used the fox-terrier for this purpose. It 

 is a low, unmanly and disgusting sport— like rat baiting, 

 the pleasure is in che kill. The run only lasts a few seconds 

 at the most. 



This rabbit baiting, like the rat baiting and dog fighting, 

 always takes place in an inclosure and m some out-of-the- 

 way place. One "sport" will give another the tip (as it is 

 called) where tickets can be purchased, and if the Society 

 officers are eluded, then the bait is given. 



In England the rabbit baiters claim that the rabbit does 

 not fall within the protection of the statute, as the rabbit is 

 not a domestic animal. The magistrates have always held 

 that when a rabbit is taken and under the control of man, 

 he is a domestic animal, until last month, when in a case 

 they dismissed the defendants subject to a case to be stated. 

 So this will soon now be settled in England. I give the case 

 as reported in the English Stock-Keeper of Dec. 7, 1888. 



A case affecting the supporters of rabbit coursing was tried at 

 the Birkenhead County Magistrate's Court on the 29th nit. Three 

 persons were summoned by an inspector of the Royal Society for 

 the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for having, on the 89th utt„ 

 'ill-treated twenty-four rabbits by causing them to he worried by 

 dogs." The proceedings were taken under section 2 of 13 and 13 

 Vic. chap. 22. This section refers to domestic animals, and though 

 rabbits are included in the definition of wild animals, so long as 

 they are kept wild and not under the control of man; when they 

 are taken from the field, tended and fed by man. it is contended 

 they become domestic animals within the meaning of the Act. 

 This contention had previously been upheld by the magistrates. 



The evidence showed that the defeiidanls kept rabbits several 

 days in a garret of a house where they were fed. These rabbits, 

 it is alleged, were taken on to the held and sold for coursing. 

 An inspector deposed that one of the officials took the animal by 

 the skin of the back, held it before two dogs, and then, after run- 

 ning about sixty yards, threw the rabbit down and -jumped be- 

 hind it to make it run. Some of the rabbits were so tame that 

 they refused to run, and others went toward the dogs, both of 

 which sometimes seized the rabbit and danced about the common 

 with it in its mouth. 



The magistrates were of opinion that it had not been proved 

 that rabbits were domestic animals within the meaning of the 

 Act; but at the same time they regretted they had not the power 

 to punish the defendants for their cruelty, and cautioned them. 

 The cruelty was denied by the defense. The prosecution said 

 they attached great importance to this matter, and asked their 

 worships to state a case. The summonses were then dismissed, 

 subject to a case to be afterward stated. 



In New York the statute protects both the wild and the 

 t ame animals, as provided by the Penal Code, viz: 



See. 6. Penal Code §655.— A person who overdrives, overloads, 

 tortures, or cruelly beats, or unjustifiably injures, maims, 

 mutilates, or kills any animal, whether wild or tame, and whether 

 belonging to himself or to another, or deprives any animal of 

 necessary sustenance, food or drink, or neglects or refuses to fur- 

 nish it such sustenance or drink, or causes, procures, or permits 

 any animal to be overdriven, overloaded, tortured, cruelly beaten. 



to any animal, or any act tending to prodace"sueh cruelty! 

 guilty of a misdemeanor. 



Aside from the cruelty, rabbit baiting, rat baiting, dog 

 fighting, etc., are prohibited by the following section of the 

 Penal Code: 



Section 18. Penal Code § 664.-A person who sets on foot, insti- 

 gates, promotes, or carries on, or does any act as assistant, 

 umpire or principal, or is a witness of, or in any way aids 

 15t?I |P?.ages in the furtherance of any fight between hecks or 

 other birds, or dogs, bulls, bearaor other animals, premeditated 



by any person owning or having custody of such birds or animals, 

 is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by line not less than ten 

 dollars, nor more than one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment 

 not less than ten days, nor more than one year, or both. * 



As similar statutes exist in almost every State in the 

 Union it is not probable that rabbit baiting will be carried 

 on to any great extent. PESHALI,.

NEW ENGLAND FOX HUNTING. 



Editor Forest and Stream; 



The gorge of the New England fox hunter rises when he 

 reads the contemptuous comments on Ms favorite pastime 

 which are so often made by those who apparently know 

 nothing of it. or who think "nothing can be sportsmanlike 

 unless it is English. When such as your correspondent 

 "Tallyho" will inform us wherein the shooting of a fox 

 before bounds is more unfair than the shooting of a hare or 

 deer under the same conditions, we may be "convinced of 

 our unsportsmanlike conduct, but we shall not be likely to 

 give up the pastime of which we aTe so fond only because 

 we are told by such as he that it is uusportsmanlike and 

 indecent. 



In our fox hunting the fox has a better chance of escape 

 than when a fleet pack of hounds are in pursuit and the kill- 

 ing of the fox relegated entirely to them. As for the sports- 

 manship, to be a successful fox hunter in our fashion one must 

 be a good shot and have a knowledge of woodcraft that is 

 quite as essential to sportsmanship as is horseback riding.

DOG TALK. 



THE so-called coursing of rabbits at Hempstead, L. I., has 

 created quite a flutter in certain circles of dog men, and 

 especially in the New Jersey Kennel Club. As we under- 

 stand it, the matter came up at a meeting held last Thurs- 

 day night (Dec. 13), at Taylor's Hotel; Jersey City, on a 

 resolution offered by Mr. Peshall, censuring the Hempstead 

 Club and Mr. A. Belmont, Jr., for killing hares with terriers. 

 The resolution was offered and passed. A well-known mem- 

 ber then promptly wrote out his resignation. After some 

 discussion Mr. Peshall stated that rather than have anv ill- 

 feeling in the club he would for the present withdraw his 

 resolution, which he did, but, as has been said, after it had 

 been passed. 



At the meeting last week of the New Jersey Kenuel Club 

 Mr. Peshall, in accordance with his intention announced 

 some months ago, resigned his position as delegate to the 

 A. K. C.j and Mr. A. C. Wilmerdiug was elected delegate in 

 his stead. 



At the same meeting it was determined by the club to 

 hold a show next spring, and report has it that Mr. Peshall 

 offered prizes to the amount of These, it is said, have 



since been withdrawn, as the great authority on ancient 

 history declines to back up a show held under' the auspices 

 of the A. K. C. unless it shall take a stand in opposition to 

 rabbit baiting. This the A. K. C. is not likely to do so long 

 as Mr. Belmont is its president. 



For the year 1889 the St. Bernard Club of America provides 

 an annual rough-coated puppy sweepstakes, for puppies 

 born in 1888, entrance $3, to be decided at the New Euglaud 

 show; smooth-coated puppy sweeps, to be decided at the 

 Philadelphia show; stud-dog stakes (rough and smooth- 

 coat); futurity stakes for puppies whelped in 1889; produce 

 stakes for brood bitches. Forms for nominations, together 

 with full details of each stake, will be sent, on application, 

 by Mr. Lorenzo Daniels, Cor. Sec'y, P. O. Box 1991, New 

 York. 



Two New York dog catchers were tried last week before a 

 jury in the court of General Sessions charged with robbery 

 and assault, and were convicted of assault in the third degree", 

 and on Dec. 14 they were sentenced by Judge Cowing to one 

 year's imprisonment and to pay a fine of $500. The com- 

 plainant, Miss Mary D. Brooks of No. 38 East Sixty-fifth 

 street, testified that she was walking out with her pet dog 

 on the 23d of November, and when near Fourth avenue she 

 saw the prisoners, Patrick McCarthy and John Lynch, assist 

 ant dog catchers, leave their wagon and ran toward her. 

 Shepieked up the dog and carried him in her arms, and as 

 McCarthy came up he seized the dog and pulled him away 

 from her, at the sametime bitting heron the shoulder, push- 

 ing her down on her knees; but she got up and ran after 

 him, seizing him with one hand and the dog with the other, 

 McCarthy struck her in the face with the back of his hand, 

 and as she fell down he struck her again, whereupon she 

 screamed and someone coming to her assistance, the dog 

 catchers relinquished the dog and left. The prisoners denied 

 assaulting Miss Brooks and Lynch said that the dog was 

 given up "so as not to have any trouble." The judge in 

 charging the jury, said that if the dog had been taken from 

 the arms of the complainant, then the defendants had ex- 

 ceeded their duty, even on the assumption that they did not 

 intend to steal the dog. Dog catchers had no right to invade 

 the home or to enter a house to secure a dog, or take it from 

 a private yard. Neither had the defendants any right to 

 take it from the arms of his owner or any person who had 

 charge of it. 



VICKEY. -Linden, Mass., Dec. U.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: It is with a feeling of deep regret and sorrow that 

 I write you of the beagle bitch Vickey. She was run over 

 by the cars the day before Thanksgiving and instantly killed. 

 Beagle fanciers will remember her as the winner of first and 

 special at Hartford in the open class at the last show held 

 in that city. I met her owner, Mr. W. F. Butter Jr., of 

 Lawrence, Mass. (and a truer sportsman never lived), at the 

 last show held by the New England Club at Boston, aud he 

 invited me to come and have a hunt with him when the 

 season opened. It is needless to say I accepted his invitation 

 and I had a good chance to see this little bitch work, and to 

 say I was astonished does not half express it, as her work 

 was simply wonderful. We arrived at the hunting grounds 

 at 4 o'clock in the morning and she went to work at once 

 and worked steadily all day long, till 4 o'clock in the after- 

 noon; and when we were riding home she would be ahead 

 of the team all the way, and frisking about seemingly as 

 f resh as when she first started. She came the nearest to my 

 idea, of what a beagle should be of anything I have ever seen 

 as she was worthy of mention on the bench in the best of 

 company, while in in the field I don't think her superior 

 lived. Her voice was beautiful, and when on a hot scent it 

 fairly rolled from her throat, and no music I ever beard could 

 equal it. Mr. Rutter has had unusually bard luck with his 

 beagles, as it was only a year ago he lost Kino in the same 

 way. He now has a 7 months old pup by Cameron's Racket 

 out of Vickey that bids fair to make a crack in time, as now 

 she will run a rabbit in good shape, Vickey \s last run was 

 one of her greatest she ever made. Mr. Rutter started out 

 with a foxhound bitch to go foxing and left Vickey at home, 

 and the hound had a fox started at 5 o'clock in the morning 

 and Vick got away and got there a very few minutes after 

 the hound had started and drove with her till 2 o'clock in 

 the afternoon. Old fox hunters that saw it claim that it 

 was the greatest piece of work for a little dog of only 13 

 inches high they ever saw, as this hound she run with has 

 never been beaten on a fox hunt and she has run with hun- 

 dreds of different dogs the past year. Poor little Vick. She 

 deserved n, better fate. We shall never see her like again.—
