FOREST AND STREAM.

him around and placing Bean, bnt he was unable to keep 

 possession, and St. Lawrence taking up the work was rap- 

 idly running up the points when Boal's Hope broke away 

 from her trainer and raced after the hare with a long piece 

 of rope attached to the collar. The victory was most de- 

 cidedly in favor of St. Lawrence, otherwise there might have 

 been complications. The owner of Boal's Hope was promptly 

 fined for allowing the dog to escape. The rules are very 

 strict in this respect and the management should be con- 

 gratulated for taking prompt action. 



BiED'.s Eye— Billy Taylor.— Out of the slips they went 

 away even, but the bitch had rather the best of it up, turned 

 the hare to Billy, and then followed a bit of give and take, 

 Bird's Eye making the kill and winning. 



Through the courtesy of Mr. H. C. Lowe the bye was run 

 out of the order of the running on account of Boal's Hope 

 having gotten loose in the previous courses, and Melitta ran 

 her bye with Lady of Fashion. 



Bon Boij— Boal's Hope.— Boal's Hope showed the effects 

 of the extra course she had had but a few moments before, 

 and went out of slips a bit stiff, Bon Bon leading up for a 

 good run of points, but the little brindle warmed up and 

 went in for a couple of wrenches and killed too soon. Bon 

 Bon won. 



Melitta ran a bye. 



Goodland Stake— Third Round. 



Laughed At^ — Nakcy. — In some unaccountable way 

 T/aughed At had received an injury during the night pre- 

 vious, the injury in the foreleg gave evidence of there having 

 been some dispute in the barn. It was quite swollen, and 

 he went to the slips on three legs, but when slipped he for- 

 got that his leg was sore and went out like a rocket; but 

 Rhea was sound and fast, and led him several lengths to the 

 hare, and switched it about fearfully, the dog making a 

 game effort to get in, but his leg led him out wild at the 

 turns, and Nancy, sticking to her game like a leach, 

 wrenched repeatedly and finally killed, beating the dog 

 pointless. 



Light Foot— Battle Royal.— Battle Royal had sprung a 

 nail and was sore, letting the big faAvn go up to the hare, 

 but he soon came to himself and went away for some driving 

 work, but failed to kill, and Light Foot getting in, scored 

 repeatedly on a long-winded fellow of a hare and finally 

 killed and won. 



Princess Ma y— Royal Crest.— Princess May led up three 

 lengths, made a game effort to kill, but missed her game 

 and fell, sliding along on her side, but she was up and at 

 him again before Royal Crest had scored very much, and 

 getting in stayed in the line of her hare, bringing off a beau- 

 tiful kill and won. 



Rhea a bye with Buenaritta, and receiving a good deal 

 of help was saved from a grueling course. 



Kenmore Derby— Third Round. 



Bibd'B Eye— St. Lawrence.— St. Lawrence went like a 

 whirlwind from the slips, led up, wrenched several times 

 and placed Bird's Eye, but she could not hold possession 

 from the big fellow, who pell-mell forced bunny to a hole. 



Another Dingwall pup against the stout son of Lord 

 Neversettle and White Lips, and one by one they have gone 

 down before him. Bird's Eye made a game effort, but it 

 was of no avail, St. Lawrence winning a decisive victory. 



Melitta— Bon Bon.— There seemed to be but two strains 

 left in, the Dingwall— Miss Kitten and Lord Neversettle — 

 White Lips, but the White Lips blood showed its superiority 

 unquestionably, although three months in age would nat- 

 urally give an advantage, Melitta being nearly eighteen 

 months old. She took the matter into her own hands at 

 once, and keeping possession ran up a good sequence and 

 won in a decided manner. 



Goodland Stake — Fourth Roxmd. *■ 



Process May— Light Foot.— Princess May led four 

 lengths in the run-up, turned the hare to Light Foot, but 

 racing by, kept possession for a lot of work, but the demon 

 of a hare was able to stay before them, and Light Foot that 

 Princess May had worked down to his speed took up the 

 work, and after a hard, long weary jaunt worked the hare 

 down, but having sprung three or four nails became very 

 sore and quite dead, allowing the bitch to go on and linish 

 with a kill of merit, but the dog had scored too many for 

 her and won the course. 



Rhea— Nancy.— Nancy went with her usual fire, but Rhea 

 sho\ved the effects of the long course she had run the day 

 previous, and the hare coming back toward the crowd spun 

 around in a circle looking for Ms hole, but Nancy gave him 

 little rest and he was kept guessing pretty lively. His cute- 

 ness, however, brought him near enough so that by a bit of 

 strategy he made an opening, his heels twinkling in the sun- 

 light, and, presto! the dogs were quite astonished as the rest 

 of us at the sudden disappearance. Nancy won. 



Deciding Course. 



Light Foot— Nancy.— The dog having injured himself in 

 the course before this, there was very little speculation as to 

 the result, the more because Nancy was quite fresh. 



Out of the slips she simply flew to the hare, ten lengths 

 ahead of Light Foot, turned and came again, scoring like the 

 very mischief, but the hare being strong carried her away for 

 thirty points, till the dog began to come to himself, when he 

 took a hand, scoring a go-by, two wrenches and the kill. 

 But the vast score Nancy had rolled up was a most emphatic 

 victory. Heretofore some unlocked for mishap has generally 

 marred the finishing course, but happily in this case not the 

 least unpleasantnes marred the pleasure of the day. 



Kenmore Derby. 



In the deciding course of the Kenmore Derby only St. Law- 

 reijce and Melitta were in, and both belonging to Mr. H. C. 

 Lowe, they very properly di\dded the honors.

A few hunters -with their hounds arrived in North Acton 

 on Sunday, but it was not till Monday that the rush fairly 

 began. On the evening of that day the little village was

 each house m the neighborhood held its quota of enthusiastic 

 lovers of the hound.

BRUNSWICK FUR CLUB FIELD TRIALS 



[Special Report.'] 



The fifth annual field trials of the Brunswick Fur Club 

 were held at North Acton, Mass., Oct. 23-27. Each year has 

 seen an increased interest in these trials, and a rapid im- 

 provement in the quality of the hounds. The meet held 

 last week was no exception to this rule, and never before in 

 the history of the club were there so many spectators or as 

 lartce an entry of high class hounds. The striking difference 

 in the type of quality of the hounds entered in the first trials, 

 and of those seen at North Acton last week, show the rapid 

 progress which has been made in the improvement of the 

 New England hound, and the club surely has a right to con- 

 gratulate itself on its success in this direction. 



The hunting grounds chosen for the trials this year were 

 in every way superior to those selected in the past. The 

 country about North Acton consists of hill and dale, mostly 

 open meadows and farming lands with here and there a 

 small piece of woodland or swampy cover. A better place to 

 see the chase could not be found in New England, and on 

 many occasions during the week the hounds ran for a mile 

 constantly in view. Foxes were found in abundance. 



This year for the first time the spotting system was used 

 in judg'ing, and it was generally conceded to be a great im- 

 provement over the method followed under the old rules. It 

 simplified the work of the judges and enabled them after the 

 first day to devote all their time and attention to the best 

 hounds of the pack. 



The judges worked hard and conscientiously and their de- 

 cisions were well received by all. Their task was no easy 

 one, for a grander pack of hounds was never seen at a field 

 trial, and where there were so many good ones it was most 

 difficult to pick the winners. Nevertheless, as far as the 

 %VTiter knows, there was not even a little "kick" or any un- 

 pleasantness. Those who lost were disappointed, but they 

 proved themselves true sportsmen by being good losers. 



A list of those present during the week would include the 

 great majority of prominent New England fox hunters. 

 Among those noticed were: Dr. A. C. Heft'enser, L^ O Den- 

 nison, H. C. Newell, R. D. Perry, W. B. Stone, E. M. Snow,

The entries having been completed and the usual number 

 of fox hunting yarns spun, the party went to bed hoping 

 that the rain which had been falling all day would cease be- 

 fore morning and give a fine day's sport for the Derby. 



TUESDAY. 



The rain fell hard all night and when the horn sounded at 

 6 o'clock it was still coming down iii a steady drizzle. How- 

 ever, it was the first day of the hunt, every hound and every 

 hunter was eager for the fray, and so despite the unfavor- 

 able prospect for sport, hunting togs were donned and 6-.30 

 found everybody eating a hearty breakfast. By T o'clock the 

 rain had ceased, and though the clouds were still thick and 

 lowering, the Derby entries were ordered out at once. 



The judges selected for this class were Messrs. F. M 

 Whipple, W. S. Clark, W. E. Gill, J. N. Goss and Bradford 

 S. Turpin. The hounds were lined up for their inspection 

 and after they had familiarized themselves with the mark- 

 ings and name of each entry, the long line of spectators and 

 handlers left headquarters for the htmting grounds. 



After a walk of a mile or more along the west shore of
