FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Jan. 36, 1893, 



As he came in sight of the desired spot he saw that H. A. 

 Dwelle, one of the veterans, already occupied it. As he was 

 on the noint of tnrning back a fourth fox, a stray one. 

 nimuerl into llie road liet-wcovi hini and Mr. Dwelle. Kevnard 

 was too for away tor the Rockland sportsman to shoot hmi, 

 hnt he wit h the liop<^ of t;m'niim- linn l-oward tJni Wa-llr 

 ham hunter. I he trick Avorked well. L |:) the road dashed 

 the fox directly to Mr. Dwelle, who easil.v secured him. 



Meantime Trimmer, turthei- easi, w ;is rnnnni.a a tux t har 

 played ni the pines tor a coiiyde (>1 liours. cm-luiK many 

 times -ai'ound 1^- (). DenuiHon. who tailed lo get ;i sliol. 

 though he tried hard to ))e ni thi' rmht place at tlie rtt^ht 

 time. I'urther west Boycr and trypsy had now united on 

 one fox and then' louit etlorl s were .sendniu- him along- at a 

 meiTV cliii. >.of lar tmni a small pond A. McDonald hivd 

 one barrel at hmi at long range, and soon alter 1>. K. ( unant 

 gave him two .shots, and that excellent marksman has not 

 VPt been able to explain liDW he missed hun. A little later 

 ni the day a local hunter hred two more shots at I he same 

 fox and how the chase ended is not known. It is tair Ki pre- 

 sume that heAventmto the ground, tor it is certai n that he 

 was not liorn t(i he .shot , (.v|is\ came iiome Ironi itiis run 

 badly torn bv barbed wii'e. 



About 11 o clock. (Tcorge Holmes and I', b. 1 iirpin came on 

 to this hunting ground with the hounds ot t he hite Oak 

 Hill Kennels, alter a. long and tedious tram|) north nt ihe 

 vill.age. The (Toodmans were trailing jnettilv when they 

 heard Trimmer tar m the distance (iriving hislox: ashec-ame 

 nearer they lett their cold trail, harked to In m. and a way 

 thev all went on the hot track with a ringing elmrus that .-^et 

 the blood bounding through thevems ot all wlio heard them. 

 Over the ojien helds and into the woods thev dro\ c tar to the 

 east A number o1 the hunters on the su innnt ot tliehill 

 listened to the music rising and tailing cm die Iro^^a an-; the 

 Avhole region -\vas spread out at their teet .-md ma torn mo- 

 ment was the pack out nt hearing. As the hounds came 

 through the valley nn the ncxl eircle. the to.\' left the long- 

 pine swamp pist oiitoi shot ironi Pi. I iirpm. a.nd again took 

 up OA'er the hill and awav once more In the east. 



As the music S-M-ew tainter .and tamtcr to those listening to 

 the cha.se from the hiUtdp, twn shots, hred by L. O. Deniu- 

 son- were heard tar iii the distance, but still revnard flew on. 

 The next time he came around to the hill \N . 15. btone, who 

 had spent all day there and had not been out ot hearing ot 

 driving hounds even tor a moment, toctk a long shot at him. 

 Badly frightened, the fox dashed u]) the hill and over the 

 open fields to cover. He had now been running nearly seven 

 hours, had been steadilv driven all the time and had been 

 shot at twice. He -was tioth tired and triglitened. and with 

 a-wonderful bur.st ot speed, he led straight awav tm- his bur- 

 row and was .soon on t ot the reach ot the pack. L. Wel- 

 lington found the den. with the hounds curled up on the 

 ground at its month. 1 he ilrive \\-a.s one ol IIk- tiest oI the 

 .week All the hounds did well, l)Ut special praise should 

 be given to s~te\-e. a, (xoodiuan. onl\- eighteeeii months ohi, 

 vrhn ran steadily with the i)ack to the hnish, though he had 

 been in a race several tionrs on luesila\- and had m.it hnind 

 his w.av home till 4 o clock on \\ ednesdav uioriniiu. 



In the second party which lett the hotel in the uiorning 

 were R T). Perry. H. ( '. Cre.ssv. U. I-', .loslm, W . R. Dean, W . 

 Perry h\ \\ . Eddv and a number ot other.-, with them went 

 Clinker t^uiltie. < :;unp and Hunter. 1 he hounds were cast 

 off west of tlie town, and Hunter soon had a tox atoot. He 

 drove i-evnard prettdv tor some tniie, and as he came over 

 the crest ot a hill k. W. Kddv got a hnig shot at him, but 

 without success. .'-oou atter Qniltie. f linker and C amp 

 harked to Hunter, The great speed ot this trio is \vell 

 kno-vvn-i find Huntci'. who IS true Init slow, soon found him- 

 self in ton fast conijjany. d he flyers drove bcantitully at a. 

 great pace tor tour hours, and nnallv lost flu'ir tox on the 

 town road Neither the hounds nor their owner could iiud 

 •where he had left the road, f hough they followed it for more 

 than a mile. 



This fla\ will be inai ki'd on the calendar ol the .Brunswick 

 Furr^lnli with a red letli'r: not for the marksmanship dis- 

 pla-v'ed by its members, but tor the hue work ot the hounds, 

 the abundance o I foxes anil the pei-fect weather tot AMiiter 

 hunting. During the evening a telegram was re(!ei\ ed trom 

 Geo- G- (itarrett. Columbus, (xa. It extended tcithe club the 

 best wishes ot its (lieorgia triends tor tlie succl'ss ot the meet- 

 Mr- Garrett was present at the helil trials last tall, and the 

 club hope to have the pleasure of seenig him at nnuiy of its 

 meets in the future. 



TTIUPfSDAY.

 I . all started together 

 lendid sport was enioved 

 tasoiabli si mds thc^ VA-)it(d toi flu 

 driving- ]j. O. Dennison ].)ut Irimmer 



in near the pond- h. W. Eddy with Rector and Rover went 

 north of the hill. VV. R. Dean and ( '. L. WellmgKin cast oil 

 Diamond and Gvpsey m the long pine swamp and A. McDon- 

 ald set Sam loose further west. After a long silence I ruu- 

 mer was heard trailing m the distance and soon a yell told 

 that he had lumped his fox. Rover and Rector meanwhile 

 trailed rapidly to cover east of the lull, and soon were heard 

 tongumg merrily as they drove their siame in the distance. 



GjTpsy and team worked well together, and m a short time 

 they too had a tox afoot. Diamond was out of luck and 

 failed to make a start, T he Ininters on the hill, which tauiy 

 bristled with guns, were on the alert, as soon as the hrst tox 

 was lumped. But the CiiiaiT\- had learned a lesson on 

 Wednesday, and had no intention ot being swept from the 

 face of the earth liv the hre trom the lull. 1 he toxes led 

 straight away for iniknown helds; (ivpsv and bam drove 

 toward Fitchburg. and t hose who attempted to follow and 

 get into the line heard their ringinu- notes for only ten min- 

 utes, and where thev went and what thev did no one knows. 

 Rover and Rector ran a iiee-hne toward Princeton, and 

 Trimmer went m the same direction. A'S hen the hounds had 

 gone out of hearing and .failed to circle as exfiectied, it became 

 CMdent to thosi on the hill thai iliLN must hum on il ih(\ 

 intended to be m the hum, I hey .started at once m the 

 direction taken by the hounds, but not a note could be heard, 

 and after listening on the hills for some tinie, all, with one 

 or two exceptions, returned to headquarters for dinner. 



After ar hasty meal a number of the hunters who were un- 

 willing to lose a Avhole day's sport, took Hunter and cast 

 him off a short distance beyond the cemetery. He hunted a 

 number of coverts to no purpose,, but at last his grand voice 

 rang out in full cry. The hunters quickly separated to find 

 good stands, but before they -were stationed the nin.sic 

 ceased as ciuickly as it had begun, F, W, Eddy tracked the 

 fox to the shore of a pond, but Avhere the phantom then 

 ^vent neither he nor the hound could discover. The party 

 then returned home, but no sooner were they at the hotel 

 than a farmer came in and announced that he had ju,st seen 

 a fox cross the Fitchburg road. Immediately the weary 

 hunters forgot that they \veve tired, and once more started 

 down the road, while Rl D, Perry and W, R. Dean took the 

 iionnds in a sleigh and hurried on ahead. But the track 

 was too cold, and soon hounds and sportsmen were again 

 under the hospitable roof of the Westrninster Hotel. 



All the hunters had now reported except L. O. Dt-nnison. 

 and just at dusk he appeared, the only one of the w^hole party 

 who had not been thrown out of the day's hunt. When the 

 fox, which Trimmer had been driving, led straight a,way 

 without a twist or turn, it \-\^as evident that he was making 

 for some ]3oint a number of miles away. Mr. Dennisoii 

 pressed on in the direction taken by the chase and A\-a,s well 

 rewarded. Follomng the track, and now and then hearing 



Trimmer in full cry, he finally reached Crow Rocks. This is 

 a precipitous ledge more than 150ft. high, very steep, with the 

 sides and base covered Avith immense boulders which have 

 been split trom the ledge l)v the frost. Here tlie fox was 

 perf ectly at home. Plie scent lay badly on the rocks, and it 

 was not easy tor the hound to idimb over the boulflers or 

 cro\s-d his wa\' between tliem. the tox knew- his advantage. 

 and took delight in running pist ahead of the hound. >yOw^ 

 and then 1 rimnier Avonld get near enough to see hnn. and 

 w ith a A'ell of )-age would Irv to put on a little more speed : 

 but no hound could run rapully there, and in some pla,ces he 

 could do little more than walk. 



Meain\ fiile hov er and Ret.'toi" were S(inding I heir fox round 

 and round bald Hill, w Inch is directly opposite Oroiv Roek.s. 

 Mr. iJeniiisou slafioued himself in the narrow \'alle\- lictween 

 the hills, w-liere the voices of rhe hou nds eclioed ti 1 1 it seemed 

 as il tinrt V w ere dii\-iiig instead ol (hree. It was soon e\'i- 

 dent that irimmer s tox vxuuid not come down from the 

 ledges, and so his master attempl (m1 to climb them. It was 

 a ditlicnlt task, and slow-l\ iiic hiiiiier worked hts way 

 toward the to|). Halfway to the snmiinl, he saw the tox 

 coming directh' toward hiin. He determined to shoot as 

 soon as revnard appeared bevond a buiicli of saplings, but 

 the tox changed his ctairsc and retreated, caretnlh- keeping 

 the 1 ri-es belween hnn and the sportsman, a nd so made his 

 esc-ape. Meanwhile Ivover and Rector had lost their fox and 

 harked to I rimmer. three hounds could not work to ai-h 

 \-ant.age in such a place: thev wore soon at fault and ran to a 

 iinal loss. Mr. Dennison then started on his long walk home, 

 but had not gone far when Irimmer wiinied a, fo.v, and 

 started his game with a rush. A chase ot an hour followed, 

 and t hen the pack lost t his to .\. Ph is ended a, most eiiioya- 

 hle ila\- s hunt, which Mr. Dennison alone liad the good lor- 

 I line t<i en)o\-. 



FRIDAY, 



I he wind whistled and shriekcfl about the liotel ;i,ll nmhl. 

 but the sun rose m a cloudless sky and the thermometei- 

 stood at ten degrees atiove zero. 1 hough tiie temperature 

 was higher tliau it had been betorr during the hunt, \ et this 

 strong west wind made the day the most uncomfortable ot 

 the week. lint the discomfort was but at rifle compared 

 with the fact f hat the gale made it impossible' tor the hunt- 

 ers to hear the liouiids. unless t he pack was directly to wind- 

 ward or very near. But the h. t . T, cannot lie disnnued hy 

 unfjivorable weather, and at tlie usual time the iiarty left 

 the hotel. A part ot the hunters started on the \N orcester 

 road with Hunter. Irimmer. (ivps\-, tsiiort anrl Loud, The 

 hounds were ]nit out just- bevond ilieiiond and almost imme- 

 diateh' went out ot hearing. .'-loon after Messrs. Kddv. 

 Coiiant and Turpm saw a, fox on a hiUside more tlian a mile 

 awa\-. Expei-tarions rose at once m the belief that the jiack 

 ha.d piiii|ied hnn. but. no hounds appearing, it liecanie evi- 

 dent. I hat he was a stray tox. and then the temperature 

 seemed to tall ev en lower than betin-e. Occasionally a hound 

 could be heard far away tor a moment, but no one succeeded 

 in getting into the hunt e.vcept C L. \\ ellmsiton and \\ . B. 

 ^tone. 1 hev had an hour s sport with a fox drix en bv 

 (i\ |)sv. but neifher got a siiot. and tmally revnard made his 

 esc;i|ie over the crest ol a hill, ^^-here the wind filled his 

 tr;u:'ks with snow and . ntirelv ol)literate'-l them. 



Henrv ^e\vell. who h.-nl lost the rest of the party, had a 

 novel hunt by niiuselt. \\ alkmg along the road he saw two 

 to\es 111 a lield- one lollovving the other. IJiere were no 

 hounds atter them and thev .soon di.sapfieared m the cover. 

 Not long after he caught sight of another tox coming directly 

 toward hnn. 1 liere was iio opportiinitv to hide, and stand- 

 ing perfectly still ne had the saf isf.iction ot seemii- tlie fox 

 come within aiiyils. I hen revnard caught sight of his loe. 

 lint did not turn (|Uicklv enongfi to escape a charge ot siiot. 

 1 hough hard hit he disa|.)peared m the brush. Mr, New ell 

 thoiiiiht hnn mortally wounrled. and followed f he track a 

 mile ov more, but failed to come up w ith his game, f ntor-

BEXAR FIELD TRIALS, 



A (i .V'|-Hl--.l-;ixr; ot a large number of gentlemen at the de]»ot 

 of the San Antonio iS: .-Vrkansas Pass Railway on last Sun- 

 day ;ifternooii seemed to indicate something unusual, even to 

 the ordimirv observer, at llie time of ilepai-lnre ot the south 

 bound tram. 



Among several groups the theme ol conversation was 



pointers and settei-s m particular and dogs generallv. Iher 

 were members of the liexar I leld Trails Club and their 

 friends bonnrl tor I loresville m \\ ilson county to attend the 

 third annual trials to be held at and near the Ihorntou 

 ranch near that citv on Moiidav and Tuesda\ last. 



I'he canines liad lieen forwarded betore to the battlefield, 

 and the jiartv. atter arriving- at Iloresville continued their 

 trifi to the country, some six or seven miles sontluvest of 

 I'hn'esviUe. -where quarters had l)eeii secured at the residence 

 of ( 'ol J- t - Ihornton. -Mr. Iimherlake and \\ .A. t oughraii. 



.Messrs. A. iNl. luting, ot INIanchester, lenii.. and \V. (j.

 portance to Avire their ina bilit\' lu come. 1 hey ^^ ere tendered 

 tlie thanks of the club tor non-appearance. 



\ our correspondent was special Iv requested by the ladies 

 not to sav an vthmg of glowing. Iliishmg faces ti'oin the sun. 

 indeed they would haVe put a full blown damask rose to 

 shame. 



Mrs, C. M. Rounds w as a fine hostess and ]jroved her.self to 

 be a fir.st class equestrienne in the hunt. 



The two Misses Thornton made an excellent record as true 

 American girls, keeping at close quarters, afoot, with the 

 hunters and dogs, and outdid the '"other fellows" in quick 

 runs. 



Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Coughran, our host and hostess, and 

 Miss Tiniberlake were in attendance at the first day's sport. 



Col. J. F. Thornton, on whosi; ranch the trials started, 

 Avas a close attendant on liorseba.ck. and took a liAtely in- 

 terest in the respective qualities and training of the dogs. 



Ciipt. A. A. Bogan. an ex-journalist of New Ulm, Minn., 

 attended witli his dogs and took in Texas ranch life with joy 

 and jdeasure. The Captain is not yet too old to become civil- 

 ized to the mild tropics of Texas. 



B. M. Chambers, of St, Louis, Mo,, who has traveled the 

 wide world over made his first A'isit to Texas and lo tlie 

 trials. He became an enthusiast in praisi' of our Texas 

 climate, and will carry away some grand impressions of the 

 Lone Star State. 



W. H. Wheeler, of Hempstead, Texas, made a visit to the 

 trials and left highly plea.sed, 



Hermann Breuaiug' was the only newsp|iper repi-esofltative 

 on the grounds.
