national meeting for 189.3. Mr. Brougher stated that only- 

 two appointees of the president's committee on this work 

 had agreed to serve, Mr. Watson and Mr. J. R. Price. Mr. 

 Price had agreed to subscribe S500 and Mr. Pope $500 more, 

 conditional tipon fifty other men subscribing $50 each, it 

 being desired to raise a total purse of at least §5,000. Mr. 

 Watson thought it should be started. Several promised to 

 subscribe. Mr. Watson moved to circulate a subscriptioa 

 list for a guaranteed fund, conditional upon the entry of 32 

 dogs from England and other countries outside of America. 

 This carried, and here action in the matter came practically 

 to an end. A recess of half an hour veas then taken. The 

 parliamentary action of the body vyas very loitering. 



THE PEARL OF PEKIN PROTEST. 



After the recess the Pearl of Pekin — ChicopeeLass matter 

 vyas taken up. 



Mr. Page— "For the executive committee I would say we 

 have referred this matter to the club." 



Dr. jRoyce— "•That can't be done. The by-laws instruct 

 the committee to .settle all such mooted cases." 



Mr. Luse — 'That means, the committee of the year when 

 the event took place." 



Tlie Chair (Mr. Watson in the chair)— "It is so understood. 

 That committee was composed of Mr. Page, Mr. Lowe and 

 Dr. Shaw." 



JJfr. Page—'I would like to hear from the secretary." 



Mr. Brougher, Secretary— "Last fall Mr. Bartels told me 

 that if Edmonds, who ran over Pearl, would make affidavit 

 that he did so accidentally, he, Bartels, would relinquish all 

 claims. Edmonds did make such affidavit. I thought that 

 settled it, and paid over the money to the California men. 

 Dr. Shaw also heard Bartels say thi.s. The affidavit was 

 turned over to the committee." 



On instruction, the secretary then read an affidavit made 

 by Mr. Bartels, he swearing, "I never at any time withdrew 

 my protest in the Chicopee Lass— Pearl of Pekin controversy 

 ofl89L" 



The Chair— "All this is out of order. The Chair rules 

 that this executive committee shall file a report, either a ma- 

 jority report or both a majority and minority report, if they 

 cannot agree." 



Mr. Brougher— "This protest was sent up to the National 

 Greyhound Club, and they referred it back, saying they had 

 no jurisdiction." 



The Chair— "The committee of National Club so referred 

 it because there had been no decision here. This matter 

 now rests with the committee of this club and I call for their 

 report. " 



Mr. Luse (of the committee)— "If the executive commit- 

 tee could not refer this matter to the club or if the club 

 refers it hack to the committee I suppose the committee 

 must report." 



3rr. Page (of the committee)— "Why can't we just leave 

 all this for the club to settle?"

The Annual Business Meeting. 

 At the regular annual business meeting, at the Moii-ison 

 House, 8 P. M. Fnday, Oct. 28, the vice-p?e.sident Dr S T 

 bhaw, was m the chair, Ira D. Brougher, secretary beins 

 assisted by .J. Harvey Rew, secretary pro tern. So far as 

 known no minutes were read and no treasurer's or secre- 

 tary a report was read, though confusion was so general this 

 may have been done Under suspended rules and by one 

 ballot the following officers were elected: President Dr N 

 Rowe, ot Chicago; Vice-President, Dr. S. J. Shaw, ol: Great 

 Bend: Secretary, Ira D. Brougher, of Great Bend7Treasiirer 

 J. V. Brinkmaii. of Cirfat. Tiunri t^,. k„ii...j- h/i'._ A . 



... — — T ^v>-^d members of t"lip 



ff r I'T.tr'^i™^^* r" ^^T^^- Moses, Dick Taylor and 

 D. 0. Luse, all ot Great Bend, were chosen for the ground 

 coinmittee. Mr. E. S. Medberry, of Great Bend, was elected 

 an bouorary member. On. Mr. Watson's moti'orthe club 

 voted to raise by subscription, a .special orize for ''best -rev- 



im. Watson started the discxxssion ou the proposed Inter- 



The C?i air— "Ruled that the committee has charge of this 

 matter and miist report." T 



Mr. Luse— "Why don't they say what they think? They've 

 been a year at this." 



A lot of shilly shally talk now ensued from Messrs. Page 

 and Lowe, they continually dodging the responsibility of 

 going on record and the chair still insisting that their re- 

 port was called for and must come in. In this Mr. Watson, 

 chairman, showed the first business-like and decisive action 

 of the evening, and formed an admirable contrast to the 

 committeemen on the fence. 



3Ir. Schermerho7'n—"lf this committee have not agreed 

 why let them bring in two reports, but for heaven's sake let 

 them do something." 

 The Chair— "Th'At report is again called for." 

 Mr. Lowe (very reluctantly)— "Well, that is to say, to be 

 sure, I thought at first, on the rules. Pearl of Pekin should 

 have the course. After the Edmonds affidavit I thought 

 the club should take the matter up, and voted to refer it." 



Mr. Lowe -was now at length on record. It was still more 

 difficult to get Mr. Page on record. Mr. Page is a pleasant 

 man, a nice man, a good-looking man. I should think he 

 would make a good real estate or dry goods salesman, if he 

 didn't get tied m his own mind as to which of two articles 

 he really wanted to sell. He was pressed hard, but it was 

 half an hour before he could be induced to say what he and 

 Dr. Shaw thought about it. It was well-known that they 

 agreed, and that their report would be a majority report. 

 Everybody patiently waited, and the mill meantime ground 

 on. 



Mr. A. C, Schermerhorn, of Great Bend, is blessed with 

 that useful commodity, horse sense. He got square up 

 and said what he thought. "I think a man ought to stand 

 by his agreements," said he. "Mr. Bartels should be com- 

 pelled to keep his word, even though he goes back on it 

 himself. 1 would have voted to give Pearl of Pekin that 

 course if Bartels had not said what he did. He left his case 

 in bad hands when he said what he did, but he said it I 

 think now this club should sustain the secretary's action 

 and give the case to Chicopee Lass. I do this just because 

 Bartels has made this last affidavit. It comes with bad 

 grace from him and it sets me against him. A man's word 

 ought to tally with his affidavit, and be as good as his affi- 

 davit. Now, Bartels came to me, and put his hand on my 

 shoulder, just before he left here last fall, and he said 

 'Now-, this is all .settled if Edmonds makes that affidavit * 

 Edmonds did make it. I am against Bartels on account of 

 his action in this." 



Mr. Luse thought from what Mr. Bartels told him at the 

 depot as he started home, that Mr. Bartels did not eonsider 

 the matter settled when he left. 



The Chair— "The question is, does not Mr. Bartels seek to 

 take advantage in a legal way, and seek to sneak out of a 

 place where he had put himself? But that is not the point 

 before the house. I call once more for the report of the other 

 members of that committee. Order, gentlemen. Let us now 

 hear from Mr. Lowe and Mr. Page." 



Mr. Lowe—"l allow the protest." 



Mr. Page— "I disallow it. In this I speak only for myself 

 Dr. Shaw being absent." ' 



ilfr. Hayman (of the American Field, and an honorary 

 member)— "I call attention to the fact that Dr. Shaw is al- 

 ready on record in this matter. He has published over his 

 own signature his agreement with what Mr. Page has just 

 said." 



Ths CTi-ai?'- "Ruled that Dr. Shaw's vote is with Mr 

 Page. You now have a majority report, gentleman, dis- 

 allowing the protest. Will you vote its acceptance?" 



Mr. Schermerhorn— "I move to sustain the secretary's 

 action, accept the report, and disallow the protest." 



The Chair— "It is not plain that motion is in order. Now 

 that the committee has reported a decision, the matter can 

 go up to the National Greyhound Club." 



Mr. Hough (an honorary member)— "Just pardon me a 

 moment. Could not the National Club again refer it back 

 to the American Coursing Club, and that body back again 

 to its own executive committee, and so on. How long a 



time is needed to settle this five minutes business five 



years?" 



Dr. Poyce— "The matter never could be delegated or 

 taken out of the hands of our own executive committee " 



ilfr. B.ough~"lt could nevei'be taken out of their hands 

 without amending the by-laws of this club. It has been in 

 their hands all along. Therefore, now that a report has 

 finally been screwed out of them, this matter is settled 

 An acceptance of the report is not in order, for the report is 

 only an announcement. Your by-laws say the decision of 

 the committee must be final. There must be something 

 .^^^^ majority report is not tentative, but final. 



27i6 C/1017-— "The chair 80 rules," 



Thus finally ended the notorious Pearl of Pekin protest 

 case, really settled a year ago and held thus by the shilly- 

 shallying and indecisive action of a timorous committee, to 

 the detriment in reputation of a club whose high board of 

 appeal did not know the rules and by-laws under which they 

 acted, and who were only with the utmost difficulty urged 

 into an expression of opinion which should have been made 

 365 long days ago. The original position of last year's For- 

 est AND Stream report of this meet is thus sustained and 

 the "overwhelming testimony" and the "ironclad rule" 

 have gone rattling down the grooves of time. 



Votes of thanks were now passed to the judge and slipper, 

 to the courteous and efficient secretary, Mr. Brougher, to 

 Dr. Rowe for the annual cup and to the press. In the con- 

 fusion of the moment it was forgotten to pass a vote of 

 thauks to the executive committee for making their report, 

 THE D. C. LUSE EXPULSION CASE. 



It was now past midnight and the tired members were 

 slipping off to bed. Still there seemed something in the air, 

 and finally it was gradually precipitated. Uncle Bobby 

 Smart called for action on the Luse case, for entering as a 

 puppy a dog over age. Mr. Lowe, for the committee, re- 

 ported that Laura, the entry in question, had been disquali- 

 fied. The report was accepted. The chair could not get an 

 expression further from the club. All were afraid. At 

 length Mr. Hayman, of the American Field, stated that he 

 thought some action should be taken toward expelling Mr. 

 Luse from the club. The case ought to come up and be tried, 

 if for nothing but justice to Mr. Luse. Several members had 

 told him they would at once resign from the club if Mr. 

 Luse were not expelled, and it seemed that the American 

 Coursing Club would soon be a thing of the past. 



Mr. Lowe called for Mr. Luse. Mi". Luse said with some 

 heat: 



"That disqualification was wrong, and I will prove it later. 

 I say I have been treated wrong. They saw they Couldn't 

 run me out of the stakes, and so run me out this way, I 

 will prove it by good men, additional to those who testified 

 for me the other day." 



Arthur Massey— "Yes, and isn't one of the men you mean 

 to bring in a man who was convicted of perjury in the court?" 



The Chair (Mr. Watson)— "This case is closed and done. 

 It cannot be re-opened." 



Mr. Luse declared the disqualification to be spite. He had 

 three times beaten Mr. Lowe in the runnings, and Mr. Lowe 

 took this means of getting even. Mi-, Lowe very heartily 

 disclaimed any such motives. The chair called for order. 



It was urged by Messrs. Royce and Hayman that the decis- 

 ion was in, that the club had now in its ranks a man who 

 had had a dog disqualified. It remained only a question of 

 the club saving itself. Neither had any personal motives 

 against Mr. Luse. 



ZJncle Bobby Smart— "We don't need a man like that in 

 this club. The club would be ruined if it had a reputation 

 like that." 



The Chair— "Well, gentlemen, what is your wish. All 

 this talk is to no purpose and out of order. Will some one 

 make a motion? Will some one else take the chair? As 

 protester in this case, it might look better for me not to take 

 the chair in this." 



No one took the chair. Mr. Smart then moved that Mr. 

 Luse be expelled from the club. Dr. Royce timorously, and 

 "just to get it before the club," seconded it. la discussion, 

 Mr. Page, the general peace-maker, strove a.ssiduously to get 

 on both sides the fence again. "Now, isn't there some way 

 we can fix this up?" said he. Everybody wanted to fix it up. 

 Just one hour was spent before the motion was put. It was 

 suggested by Mr. Hayman that private ballot be taken. Mr. 

 Luse called for a rising vote. In this he showed a skillful 

 handling of his own case, for he knew there was no one 

 there bold enough to stand up and vote. The chair ruled 

 the vote must be taken viva voce, in the usual manner, a 

 rising vote to follow if the chair should then be unable to 

 decide. The question was then put. 

 Ayes, 0. 

 Noes, 0. 



Not a man there had dared to vote for or against. Truly 

 a deadlock! 



Mr. Lowe asked, "Is there a quorum present?" 



The Chair— "The chair rules there has been a quorum, 

 and so is one now." 



Mr. Luse asked how many members made a quorum. The 

 by-laws were sent for. Meantime those present were counted 

 and it was found there were twelve, exclusive of Mr. Luse 

 and of two honorory members, Mr. Hayman and Mr. Hough. 

 The latter begged to be excused from being considered as of 

 the club in this matter and cited a precedent that an honor- 

 ary member should not vote. He felt that the honorary 

 election was merely formal courtesy to the paper he repre- 

 sented, and preferred to be left in no position but that of a 

 press representative, without voting or expres.sing an opinion 

 in a case which was purely one of the active club's alone. 

 When the by-laws came to hand it was discovered that it 

 requi^-ed ten active members to make a quorum. Mr. Luse 

 urgently raised the question as to what constituted an 

 active member. A half hour was consumed while the secre- 

 tary looked over the books and sought to find who were 

 and who were not active members. Much discussion of 

 proper notification, time of paying dues, last year's dues, 

 and some other ^^ear's dues now arose. Mr. Luse asserted 

 that Mr. Lowe was not an active member and had not 

 paid his dues and had no right to enter dogs. Mr. Lowe 

 explained that two years ago his winnings were withheld 

 on the understanding that they were to be applied on his 

 dues. The club really owed him money yet. The chair at 

 length put an end to the discussion and ruled that there 

 was a quorum, more than ten active members, present. 



Mr. Luse now raised the question of proper notification 

 for trial in a case like this, as provided in the by-laws. 

 The chair ruled that the previous trial of the accused be- 

 fore the coinmittee, his presence at this meeting, and the 

 general discussion were notification sufficient under the 

 provisions. 



In all this another half hour WaS taken up, and action 

 seemed as far off as ever. Finally, at half-past two o'clock 

 in the morning, Dr. Royce moved the previous question. 



Ayes, 0. 



Noes, 0. 



More deadlock in this discreet and truly conservative body 



of sportsmen. 



The chair called for a rising vote. Not one member of 

 those present rose to support the motion to expel. Dr. Royce 

 was sitting on the arm of his chair and the secretary under- 

 took to count him, but he sat down swiftly with a scared 

 look on his face. The chair asked for those opposed. 



One solitary member, Joseph Roetxel, had courage to get 

 up and vote as he thought. The motion to expel Mr. Luse 

 was therefore lost and he remains a member of the club. 



to win again. You have got me stirred up and you are going 

 to hear from me loud!" No doubt. No doubt there will be 

 a nice kettle of fish before all this is relegated to history 

 But isn't the club a dandy, and doesn't it transact its busi- 

 ness in a hustling, fearless way? The bare facts are plenty 

 for the comment. 



Mr. Luse was tried under Rule 6, and cannot be tried again 

 He can be brought before the National Greyhound Club on 

 motion of the members of the American Club or on report 

 of its executive committee, under Rule 42, if memory serves 

 rightly, and the National Greyhound Club could re-try the 

 question of his expulsion. There is talk of this, but nothinK 

 dehnite. *^
