FOREST AND STREAM. 



[April 3, 1890. 



A COYOTE HUNT. 



JSMtot Forest and Stream- 



In Forest and Stream of March 6 a correspondent sign- 

 ing himself "Hal," of Worcester, Mass., writing of the feat 

 accomplished by "Dave," in shooting a running fox out of a 

 buggy when the team was running, makes us boys laugh. 

 Here in North Dakota we hunt coyotes out of low sleighs in 

 the winter and geese in the summer in buggies, and shoot 

 when the team is running. I will give you the points of a 

 wolf hunt I had a part in a few weeks ago. One day coming 

 from town I saw a pair of coyotes asleep on an old straw 

 stack, and made up my mind to have a hunt. Nearing 

 Frank's and seeing him at work I thought it would be pretty 

 hard to get him to go, but as soon as running down a wolf 

 was mentioned the job was left to rest until another day. 



After dinner we saddled up three broncos and put the' har- 

 ness on another team hitched close to a sled and started. 

 Each man and boy carried a rifle or a shotgun, and we 

 were soon in sight of our game. As soon as we were within 

 300yds. the wolves started and we after them. W. and my- 

 self being on horses, took after the wolves then for a run of 

 three straight miles, when we had the misfortune to let our 

 wolf run into tbe brush along the river, but not so with the 

 other fellows, they could keep theirs on the open prairie 

 and J. having a good horse kept the wolf interested, so the 

 boys in the sleigh could cut across the circle and catch up 

 to the game. Then for the fun, putting the horses to a good 

 stiff run, helped on by the use of a little long oats, it was 

 not long before the game was in rauge. Then Frank opened 

 up the ball with his Winchester and the sixth shot stopped 

 all further running, but it was fun to see that wolf climb 

 when the shots began to drop around it. As this was on 

 plowed ground, "Hal" can see the difference in shooting 

 with a shotgun and a rifle. I will next tell you how we 

 hunt geese; it will be a little different from lying in a pit 

 and seeing them flying just out of gunshot. Ta vik. 



DOGS OF THE DAY. 



WHEN I received my voting list for associate, members' 

 officers, a few days ago, I was prompted by curiosity 

 to compare it with the list which was made up on Jan. :20, 

 to sec how many of the 116 members then on the list were 

 members of keunel clubs. The result was a surprise, at 

 least to me, and T think it will be to every one else. There 

 are just 13 names less on the second list, "it is just possible 

 that one or two of this number may have giveu notice that 

 they would not accept office, but I hardly think so, the only 

 one I have any doubt about being Mr. G. P. Berry. The 

 others whose names are omitted from the voting list .are 

 Messrs. W. J. Comstock, IT. B. Cromwell, R. P. il.'Durkee, 

 F. R. Hitchcock. A. D. Lewis, James Mortimer, J. Pfeister, 

 R. J. Sawyer, T. H. Terry, C. J. Thompson, Max Wenzel 

 and A. L. Weston. 



There is another point I am still more curious about, but 

 I don't suppose I shall be satisfied in that respect. It is to 

 know the entire vote — not who every man voted for, but how 

 many votes each man had that had a vote cast for him. I 

 don't know but that we might learn something by knowing 

 a little more than the mere names of those elected. It 

 would help us, for instance, when we come to vote for another 

 delegate, which we will have to do ere long. No one cares 

 to throw away his vote, and if we are advised when this 

 vote is declared how the next two or three unsuccessful can- 

 didates stood, it would give us some clue as to who not to 

 vote for when another delegate is to be elected. 



Another thing I am getting interested in is whose busi- 

 ness it is to see that the A. K. C. rules are not infringed. 

 Who keeps check of dogs eligible for the challenge class 

 aud see that ineligible dogs are not shown in that class, and 

 that dogs that have won four firsts are not shown in the 

 open class? This point was brought to my notice by the 

 beagle Belle of Woodbrook being transferred to the open 

 class at Baltimore after having won the challenge class 

 prize at New York. On turning up the New York catalogue 

 I find her winnings are given as first, Boston and Syracuse, 

 1888, Utica and Rochester, 1889. The first named was not 

 an A. K. C. show, and on the above record she was not 

 eligible for the challenge class. But was she disqualified ? 

 It doesn't appear so in the official prize list, and I have seen 

 no notice of such action. Here then arises a rather peculiar 

 legal case. Has a club a right to correct another club's 

 official list of awards ? The A. K. C. rules prohibit a club 

 from disqualifying a thief for what he has done at another 

 show, and I fail to see that that is not a worse crime than 

 the showing a dog in the wrong class. Mind, I do not say 

 that the Maryland club was not in equity justified in taki ng 

 the step it did, and I have for a long time fought to give a 

 club the right to suspend a man tor dirty work no matter 

 where done. And why wasn't it found out before ? Is it no 

 business of any A. K. 0. official to look for just such tilings ? 



To continue with the M. R. C— Mr. Dift'enderfer will 

 please understand I am not finding fault with him— I find 

 that Rule HI. of the A. K. C. was broken times without 

 number in the catalogue. The rule says, "Should any of 

 these particulars [date of birth, etc.] be unknown to the ex- 

 hibitors it must be so stated in the entry blank and inserted 

 in the catalogue." The catalogue does not contain one 

 instance of carrying out that rule that I have come across. 

 Now if I mention any man's dog I will be wiped out with a 

 Louisville tornado. What can I do? Ah ! Here's one man. 

 I can fix him if he comes with blood in his eye and his right 

 hand feeling for his hip pocket— "J. H. Winslow, Robert- 

 son, reg." Of course a dog with such a name cannot catch 

 Mr. Wise, but that isn't the point. Why did such an 

 entry appear in the catalogue in contravention of the rule 

 and what is the A. K. C. going to do about it? 



I had better tell how I am going to pacify Mr. Winslow 

 for mentioning Robertson, This is a wrinkle I learned at 

 Baltimore. I shall give my right hand a semi-circular 

 wave, putting on my most winning smile and say "Mr. 

 Lanagan." I don't go to Baltimore for nothing even if I 

 wasn't one of the "milk route" party. With my friend, 

 "the prince of good fellows," I took a drive quite in a con- 

 trary direction, and in place of milk we came back loaded 

 with information regarding Orange Blossom colts, pedigree 

 Jerseys, Dorking fowls, and I met with the additional in- 

 formation of how to stand off the Maryland tollkeeper. It 

 was the "Mr. Lanagan" trick that did that. 



To come back to the A. K. C. rule breakers. There is a 

 club, a member of the A. K. C, which advertised a closing 

 date, and after that date had passed announced a subse- 

 quent date. At the time the rule of expulsion was passed 

 forthis offense, Mr. Vredenburgh wasits strongest upholder, 

 nothing short of expulsion would suit him. Well, what 

 will he do with the club I refer to? He must know which it 

 is, and if he does not a line to my address will elicit the in- 

 formation, I was not a delegate to the A. K. C. when that 

 rule was passed, but when Mr. Anthony asked me what I 

 thought of it I said, "If you make it too severe you won't 

 enforce it. Expulsion you will not enforce, a fine you 

 doubtless will." But a fine would not satisfy the majority, 

 and again I ask what will the A. K. C. do about? 



While on the subject of rules and catalogues I would like 

 to call the attention of A. K. C. delegates to the habit the 

 clubs have got into of omitting all mention of prizes already 

 won by the open class entries. It is not the easiest thing in 

 he world to keep track of these prize winners and know 



when each one is entitled to go into the challenge class. T 

 really think it would be well to have first prize wins men- 

 tioned in the case of open class entries, limiting them of 

 course to A. K. C. qualifying shows. 



In the report of Baltimore show it should have read that 

 Mr. Jas. F. Pearson judged Chesapeake Bay dogs, Mr. Nor- 

 ris not arriving until evening. I am indebted to Mr. Mal- 

 colm, who was ring steward, for this correction, Mr. 

 Malcolm adds that if I had only gone on the "Tally-ho" I 

 would certainly have agreed with him regarding Bellmont 

 being the best Gordon setter. That only adds additional 

 regret that duty made me decline. 



Mr. Mitchell Harrison has been confined to his house for 

 almost a week now. Something of la grippe seems to be 

 the trouble, although he tells me he had an attack of that 

 while in England. 



Mr. Crowell tells me he is going over to the other side 

 again this summer, and so is Mr. Frank Dole. 



It is not improbable that the bull bitch Young Dolly will 

 be seen over here ere long. Her owner, Mr. Preece, died 

 very suddenly at Liverpool during the late coursing meet- 

 ing, aud Young Dolly with tbe rest of his kennel is for 

 sale. j. w. 



THE EGOTISM OF FANCIERS. 



"OEFORE the advent of bench shows, dogs were valued 

 ±J almost entirely according to their merit for practical 

 purposes, except of course in the case of the pet breeds. At 

 that time the setter, pointer and spaniel were expected to 

 find game, the hounds to trail, tbe collie to drive, the fox- 

 terrier to go to earth, the mastiff to watch, the St. Bernard 

 to go out into the storm, the bull-terrier to take his death, 

 the greyhound to course, the deerhound to run down his 

 quarry, the various breeds of terriers to kill vermin, and so 

 ou. This standard of practical utility was the principal one 

 that guided breeders iu the selection of stud dogs and brood 

 bitches. 



With the establishment of bench shows this was changed. 

 The fetich "type" was set up, and fanciers, big aud small, 

 felrdown before it aud blindly worship. Type is supposed 

 to be as stable as the mouutains, while in reality it is cbn= 

 stantly changing. The winning setters, pointers, mastiffs; 

 collies, etc., of to-day are quite different from those of even 

 ten years ago, and ten years hence the typical specimens 

 will undoubtedly differ as much from the'present winners. 

 "But," some fanciers will say, "this is because we have im- 

 proved these breeds that they differ from the old-time speci- 

 mens. ' Whether this alteration of form from the primitive 

 stock is an improvement or not is simply amatter of opinion. 

 This changing of type or improving the breed, or whatever 

 other name it may be called by, is going on all the time, 

 and will continue as long as bench shows are held. As new 

 judges and new doggy critics take the places of the old ones 

 the '■type" of the breeds will be made to conform to the 

 ideas of the most popular of the new authorities. After all, 

 it is the judge and the beuch show reporter who mould the 

 doagy ideas of the great majority of fanciers. 



Now, I am not opposed to type, but I do disapprove of sac- 

 rificing all a dog's useful qualities for an artificial standard. 

 No matter how near a hunting dog is to the present idea of 

 the breed, if he is gunshy and otherwise useless in the field 

 he should never be given a prize on the bench, A dog of 

 this sort who wins the name of champion does more harm 

 by being extensively used in the stud than can be Undone 

 in a lifetime. As regards a remedy, it is a difficult problem 

 to solve, and I do not at present care to offer suggestions. 

 But the fact remains that bench shows are encouraging 

 more than anything else the breeding of non-sporting 

 sporting dogs, and gradually turning into house pets many 

 other useful breeds. 



Our English cousins were the first people to set Up an 

 ideal standard for the different breeds of dogs. Here is 

 where the egotism of fanciers shows itself. After settling 

 upon the type for their native dogs, they import bassets 

 from France, fix up an ideal standard and insist upon the 

 Frenchmen conforming to it. From Germany they get 

 dacbshunde, and as the primitive types seen there do not 

 altogether meet with their approval, they lengthen the body 

 by selective breeding and produce an animal the like of 

 which is not to be found in the native country of the breed. 

 The same applies to the St. Bernard, Newfoundland, great 

 Danes and a few other foreign breeds. 



The fanciers of America are just about the same. The 

 average Irish and Gordon setter met with iu this country is 

 built after a different type from those of England. The 

 same holds good with the foxhound and beagle. As we 

 grow older and depend less on the mother country for our 

 prize winners, the lines of distinction in these and other 

 breeds will become more sharply defined. 



The evolution of a type of the American foxhound is now 

 going on among the packs of Pennsylvania. Only a few 

 years ago the meet clubs cared nothing for the looks of the 

 hounds; it was field work they considered of account. Now 

 there is a decided effort to get packs tocher that look alike! 

 Some fancy the tri-color, some the black and tan and others 

 the blue ticked, but they all want them to be of equal weight 

 and of the same general appearance. It will only be a few 

 years before there will be a uniform type established and 

 the packs will be pleasanter to look at even if they are not 

 so good after reynard. 4 Hibernia. 



KENNEL CLUB FOR ST. LOUIS. — St. Louis, Mo., 

 March 28. — A preliminary meeting was held the past week 

 at J. C. Meyer's sporting goods bouse, on Fourth street, for 

 the purpose of organizing a kennel club. Quite a number of 

 prominent dog owners were present, and all were most en- 

 thusiastic upon the subject. There is now no doubt what- 

 ever but what the club will be a go, and that it will have a 

 large membership goes without saying, because there is 

 ample material here to support such an organization. Next 

 week temporary officers are to be elected and a committee 

 appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. The matter 

 has taken such shape now that a kennel club in this city is 

 a certainty. — Unser Fritz.
