NATIONAL BEAGLE CLUB MEETING. 



JSditor Forest and Stream,: 



The regular qua.rterly meeti ng of the National Beagle Club 

 was held on July 10, 1891, at 266 Washington street, Boston, 

 Mass. President O. W. Brooking called the meeting to order 

 and made the following remarks: "At this, our regular 

 quarterlymeetingitbehoovesmeto saya few words in regard 

 to our past and present acts. As the time is limited I will 



going 



regard to the training of beagles. Although I have not written 

 anything on the suhiect as yet, I hope to say a few words in 

 the near future. It is a good cause and I would like to hear 

 from every otiieer and member of the N. B. C. on the subject. 

 I have only this to add as a fundamental principle: First, 

 never give a command unless required and then be prepared 

 to enforce it at aay cost. I thank all for the courtesy shown 

 me and the hearty support which I have received from both 

 officers and members." 



Roll call of officers showed two absentees. Minutes of last 

 meeting read and approved. Special committee on a place 

 to hold field trials reported progress and wasinstructed to go 

 to Nanuet. N. Y., and ascertain the desirability of the place 

 for field trials and to report at executive committee meeting 

 as soon as possible. Special committee on incorporation 

 reported and desired immediate action. H. V. Jameson was 

 chosen clerk and W. A. Power, chairman pro tern, and were 

 duly sworn. 



The constitution and by-laws were read and adopted. The 

 election of officers resulted in the re-election of the present 

 incumbents who were duly sw^orn. 



Amendments to constitution and by-laws were read and 

 adopted as follows: Art. V., Sec. 3: "Seven members present 

 and voting shall constitute a quorum of the club." 



Sec. i: Four members present and voting shall constitute 

 a quorum of the executive committee." 



By-Law.s.— Art. V. — "The initiation fee shall be S.5, which 

 must accompany the application." 



Art. VI. "The annual dues shall be $5, payable semi- 

 annually in advance." 



Under new busiue.ss the field trials were taken up and it 

 was voted to have the following classes: Class for dogs 

 15in. or under, class for dogs 13in. or under, class for bitches 

 loin, or under, class for bitches ISin, or under and a final 

 class to decide absolute winner. 



g More discussion followed about prizes and entrance fee, but 

 nothing was voted upon. It was voted to leave all matters 

 not provided for, in the hands of the executive committee. 

 Moved to adjourn. Hubite. 



USE AND FANCY. 



EdMor Forest mid Stream: 



The letters between Messrs. Fellows and Mason are ex- 

 cellent in more ways than one. They are practical, in- 

 structive and of admirable tone. Mr. Mason's is particularly 

 good in being a strong representation of his side of the ques- 

 tion throughout. Both letters are dangerous, on the prin- 

 ciple that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing," and as 

 few readers as well comprehend the bearings of the subject 

 of the discussion as Messrs. Mason and Fellows, the danger 

 is that raw hands, those who have only "gone in" to fancy to 

 thedepth of their shoe soles, willnot heed the lessons taught, 

 and absorb only one side of the question. For instance, we 

 all remember how it was when the pointer Beaufort was on 

 the boards; unable to cope with him as a show dog, the 

 owners of the vanquished ones relied on "Oh he is only 



a show dog, wait until he meets in the field and you will 



see where he is!" Mr. Mason did put the dog in the field and 

 the result is not forgotten. This was "a safety valve." Mr. 

 Fellows keeps his fifes too level to need a safety valve to his 

 boiler, but he knows full well the number of fellows who 

 run boilers with the water below the lower gauge cock and 

 the steam gauge out of sight. This class of fanciers send 

 their dogs to shows and expect to win on their field value; 

 about as sensible as multiplying a pound of sugar to a quart 

 of molasses. Then again, Mr. Mason's view of the case is 

 dangerous and has wrought great mischief, the fireman filled 

 his furnace to the top, chained down his safety valve and 

 adjourned to indulge in other occupations more congenial for 

 the rest of the da}^ and the boiler naturally "went up." To 

 drop the metaphor, crude fanciers got their otherwifse empty 

 heads filled up with the idea that the distinguishing feature 

 of a breed was the only one resulting in a lot of grand headed 

 cripple-i being elevated to the position of the only ensamplers 

 of mastiff type, or "Uncle Dick's" pet abmination, the croco- 

 dile spaniel, as the genuine form of the breed. 



Of course if one view is to prevail entirely, to the neglect 

 of the other, Mr. Fellows' is that one, .simply because practical 

 use is, and always will be, of more importance than fancy 

 points, but there is no necessity whatever of any such con 

 elusion. It should always be borne in mind that while dogs 

 are only looked at in shows, and nothing but their appear- 

 ance should have any weight with the judge, he should 

 always look at them with consideration of what their use is, 

 and despite all considerations of "character," most valuable 

 as character is, the great points in a dog are those that fit 

 him for his proper use. Take Mr. Mason's illustration of a 

 prick-eared spaniel, such an animal would be utterly un- 

 characteristic; yet, should such a one compete with one 

 radically defective in some essential for his use, the latter 

 should be preferred. It is more in the condemnation of dogs 



Mills took such grounds. Such acquaintance as I have had 

 with Dr. Mills strongly impresses me in favor of his sincerity 

 and well meaning, and I fully believe this letter was written 

 in this spiril], but I would point out to him the very serious 

 nature of his charge that statements have recently been 

 made in Forest and Stream that were false as to fact and 

 offensive in spirit. Such a charge, under the circumstances, 

 and with the context, can only apply to one party, and surely 

 Dr.Mills recognizes the wrong of bringing such a charge with- 

 out giving the specifications to support it? I fancy that Dr. 

 Mills if far adrift as to the true function of dog shows. He 

 dwells on Elcho having a thickened e.ar in consequence of 

 some injury, and apparently thinks that the judge should 

 have taken this into consi'deration. Now, this is utterly 

 wrong; the judge should concern himself with nothirg 

 whatever but the dog's appearance at the time he sees it. If 

 going beyond this and taking related matters into considera- 

 tion in making his awards is to be permitted, where can we 

 stop.s* Imagine the endless confusion that will result if the 

 judges stray off into all sorts of considerations as to why the 

 dog appears as he does. Dr. Mills's implied censures on Mr. 

 Huntington, the judge of greyhounds at the last New York 

 show are also unjust. Mr. Huntington was strongly averse 

 to judging on that occasion, repeatedly urging other judges 

 on the show, and finally consented to act at the urgent re- 

 quest of the club authorities and only to avoid the butcher- 

 ing of the classes he dreaded, and the fact of his having 

 recently owned some of the specimens he would be called on 

 to judge, is of no weight with those who know him. I ex- 

 pressly wish to be understood as writing this without any 

 ill feeling to Dr. Mills, but such statements as his are mis- 

 chievous and should not pass unchallenged. W. Wade.

of useful qualities, while the extravagancies of unbridled 

 fancy, have wrought immense mischief and always will do 

 so until a bridle is fitted on. W. WADE.

 tribution in your issue of July fl, and am very sorry that Dr. 



AMERICAN KENNELS.-II. 



ORIOLE KENNELS. 



THE other afternoon, as the quicksilver was dawdling in 

 the nineties, I thought it an appropriate time for a 

 little sea voyage. So arming myself with a camera, it was 

 not long before I was comfortablv seated on the ferry boat 

 MiddletowD, bound across New York Bay for Bay Ridge. 

 Readers of Forest And Stream are aware that on Mr. John 

 A. Logan, Jr.'s, departure for Europe Mr. Harry E. Twyford 

 was given full charge of his kennel of fox-terriers, and con- 

 sequently they were all brought from Youngstown, O., to 

 Mr. Twyford's home, in Bay Ridge, by the whilom manager 

 Mr. Peck. Meeting Mr. Twyford a few weeks since, he said, 

 "When I've had time to straighten things out a bit come 

 down and see me." It was not long before he was ready. 

 Arriving at Bay Ridge, I inciuired the way, and soon found 

 that both manager and dogs were well known in the village. 

 Bay Ridge is a suburb or continuation of Brooklyn, and not 

 far from the station, on the line of the steam cars familiarly 

 known as the "dummy," Mr. Twyford's home is pleasantly 

 situated in a large plot of ground with excellent shade trees 

 all round. It was late when I arrived and friend Twyford 

 had almost given me up, so we adjourned immediately to 

 the kennels. Mr. Twyford is an Englishman, and has been 

 over here several years. His brother is a well-known fancier 

 on the other side, and he himself has always had a dog or 

 two, so that Mr. Logan, as events have proved, did not go 

 far wrong in selecting him to look after his interests. He 

 has the full management of the kennels. Mr. Logan is now 

 on the lookout for something good in the fox-terrier line, 

 and will no doubt when he returns, towards the end of this 

 month, bring a good bitch or two with him. As your readers 

 are aware Mr. Thayer recently purchased Pitcher ond Dono 

 at a long price from Mr. Logan. Opening a wire door past 

 Mr. Bernheimer's terriers, which are also kenneled here 

 (among them Raby 'Trigger), we entered the kennel yai'ds. 



At the back of the house stands a medium-sized barn, ia 

 which are several compartments, in size about 6 by 4ft., with 

 partitions about 6ft. high, half wood, half wire. Although, 

 owing to the new kennel not being completed, it is a hard 

 matter to house all the dogS) yet by the exendse of prudence 

 and ingenuity Mr. Twyford has managed to get them all in. 

 I say prudence advisedly, for this is a trait that every man 

 who essays to keep a kennel of fox terriers should have in a 

 .superlative degree, especially when cramped for room. The 

 reason I need not state here, the erring one would very soon 

 find out. I could detect no' offensive smell, although the 

 afternoon was intensely hot, and was told that Walker's 

 soluble creosote was the disinfectant used. 



In the first compartment I found Valens, a dog that has 

 won several prizes, among them first at Birmingham, Eng., 

 in 1890. He has a white body, with almost whole tan head, 

 which rather spoils his appearance, though his head is 

 fairly well formed and of good punishing length. As I have 

 said before, it is not my province to criticise dogs in the.se 

 articles, that can be left until they are once more under the 

 fierce light of public competition. Valens was whelped .Jan. 

 31, 1889, and is by the noted sire Pitcner out of Flossie, by 

 Velasciuez out of Pickles; Pitcher by Brockenhurst Jim out 

 of Waffodilly, by Akeley Joe out ot Dahlia, by Poiler, run- 

 ning back still further to Old Foiler, Belgrave Joe, Brock- 

 enhurst Joe and many others noted in the records of fox- 

 ten-ier lore. As might be expected, he is getting and has 

 got some good stock. His breeder is Mr. Vicary, of Eng- 

 land. In the next compartment four young pups by Dusky 

 Trap were trying to worry their mother Verdict, she looking 

 as plump and fat as a mole, as if her maternal duties fully 

 agreed with her. The pups were lively and full of fun. 

 One, a white one with tan patches, looks very promising, 

 ears well carried and having lots of bone. 



Verdict, the roTJther, is well known, having won her spurs 

 while in the Blemton Kennels, from whom Mr. Logan pur- 

 chased her. She was bred by Mr. Belmont, and is by cham- 

 pion Result out of Diadem, the latter, I believe, imported 

 171. utero, and was whelped JVlay. 1886. She is white, with a 

 black and tan spot on eye. As she can claim five champions 

 in as many generations back in her pedigree, it is at once 

 seen that this bitch will come honestly by any future win- 

 ners she may produce. She is a litter sister to Tiara, which 

 has done so much winning. Bred to dogs of Valens's style 

 she should breed something good. Verdict was sent over to 

 England to the Jubilee show in 1887, but failed to get into 

 the money, taking vhc. in the open and reserve in the novice 

 class. 



"Now stand back, please," says friend Twyford, as he re- 

 leases Dominica.the pride of the kennel, from durance dou'ily 

 vile. Then out into the yard frisks one of the sensational 

 bitches of the past spring circuit. This kennel had what is 

 known on the turf as a "cinch" on the ladies' division in the 

 for-terrier classes at the different shows this spring with Dono 

 in the open and Dominica in both the open and puppy clas.' es; 

 for it must be remembered that Dominica has kept but one 

 birthday as yet, she having been whelped in 1890, and is by 

 Dominie out of Daphina. She was bred by Mr. Redmond. 

 She will, it is believed by many good judges, pass her 

 whilom kennel mate in the struggle tor honors when she is 

 fully let down, and this her coming litter by Volunteer is 

 expected to accomplish. It was intended that she should be 

 bred to Mr. Thayer's Russley Joker, but Blemton Volunteer 

 would stand no such unfairness as that, and the promised 

 litter will claim him as the sire; and perhaps, considering 

 his build and his breeding, it won't be much of a faux 'pas 

 after all. 



Dominica came over with Dono and arrived half an hour 

 before judging time at the New York show and captured, in 

 spite of being in sea going trim, first prize in the open class 

 for bitches. Sbe afterward ran second to Dono, her kennel 

 mate, in the open classes till Cleveland, where Dono moving
