Beagle Field Trials. 



Rochester, ISr, Y. , Kov. 19,— EcZitor Forest and Stream: 

 In last M'eek's issue of "Turf, Field and Farm a correspond- 

 ent refers to "Billy's" mild report on beagle field trials, and 

 also comments on report rsf J-j-ialsina Western paper, wherein 

 reference is made as to how the rabbit was started, i. c, Mr. 

 So and So "kicked up" the rabbit, etc. The correspondent 

 evidently was simply killing time or filling space, and in 

 doing so he has innocently written what might be misleading 

 or wrongly interpreted by the public. 



In the fir.st place, "Billy's" report of the trials was simply 

 a compliment to his paper, as they had declined to instruct 

 him to attend the beagle trials at their expense. Out of pure 

 love for sport ho visited Nanuet one day on his own hook, 

 hence the mildness of "Billy's" report. 



Secondly, this writer draws a comparison between his sys- 

 tem of hunting rabbits with an old foxhound and that em- 

 ployed during trials of having a' rabbit "kicked up" and dogs 

 ^ui on to run it. 



I believe this system is generally employed by sportsmen 

 to permit the dog to find the rabbit. In addition to this, a 

 sportsman puts his dog on a rabbit that he may "kick up," 

 instead of shooting him in or just starting from his form. 

 Now, during trials of beatiles timeis limited, and muchmust 

 be done mtlnn the time allotted for the sport. 



A brace of dogs are put dfiwn at a time and three or four 

 dozen men are scattered about watching the dogs work. 

 The two dogs are carefully working up on a cold trail, the 

 three dozen men are walking about and scattered over con- 

 siderable area, when Mr. So and So "kicks up" a rabbit and 

 the judges order the dogs taken to the hot trial, and the race 

 ■ begins. 



Does this method of testing the dogs' powers, then, pre- 

 sent itself to him as improper? However, from a general 

 impression and not from actual statistics, I would say that 

 during trials the dogs themseh es actually start as many rab- 

 bits as are started for them in the manner described, if an 

 equitable handicap is allowed dogs for excess in area covered 

 by men. 



I do not make this explanation or statement as in any sense 

 criticising the writer in question, as he frankly admits small 

 practical knowledge of field trials; but simply to prevent a 

 wrong impression being made on those who fancy beagles 

 and have never attended a beagle trial.

National Beagle Club Meeting. 



PSESENT: H. L. Kreuder, in the chair; H. F. Schellhass, 

 Geo. W. Rogers, John Bateman, A. P. Appleton, H. W. Lacy 

 and Geo. Laick, secretary. The protest against Mr. P. Dor- 

 sey's Pade was acted upon. Mr. Dorsey's statement, made 

 at the meeting held at Nanuet, N. Y., was read before the 

 committee, particulars of which were published in Forest 

 AND StreA^M at the time. Mr. Kreuder then read a letter 

 which he had written to Mr. Dorsey and also Mr. Dorsey's 

 reply. Mr. Dorsey offered a letter from the breeder of Pade 

 regarding Pade's pedigree, and also a letter from Mr. Jojies, 

 of whom he purchased the dog, who gave it as his opinion 

 that Pade contained the blood of bench-legged beagles, and, 

 therefore, he considered the dog a pure-bred beagle. Mr. 

 Dorsey also showed a photo of Pade. After considerable 

 discussion it was moved and carried that, 



Whereas, In the que.st ion of protest filed against Pade in 

 Class B of the N. B. C. field trials of 1893, the field trial com- 

 juittee of said club having taken and considered all evidence 

 both as to individual merit, pedigree, breeding, and ex-jjarts 

 practical opinions, be it 



Jtc-soivcd, That whereas we, the field trial committee, 

 from the best information furnished us and upon our best 

 knowledge and judgment, do consider and declare that 

 said dog Pade is not a beagle such as is defined by the stan- 

 dard adopted by our club. It is therefore resolved that we 

 sustain said protest against said dog Pade and declare his 

 win in Class B of said field trials null and void. 



It was also resolved that Mr. Dorsey be exonerated from 

 any intent of wrong doing in the matter. The committee 

 then adjourned at 6 P. M., and the official placing of the 

 dogs in Class B will be considered at a meeting to be called 

 shortly.

ters of harriers. One is H. R H., the Comtesse de Paris, 

 who hunts the country round Stowe. The other is Mrs. 

 Cheape, who hunts the Bentley harriers in Essex. 



Lady Ileen Hastings until recently hunted a pack in Ire- 

 land, but she is to be married shortly, and two masters in 

 one household will not do, so her brother, the Earl of Hunt- 

 ingdon, takes her place with the pack. We remember that 

 years ago Mr. James Hall's daughter "Pop" often hunted 

 the Holderness hounds in Yorkshire, and we heard that 

 after her father's illness or death assumed the mastership 

 for awhile. But she was always a very manly young woman 

 and the best "horseman" in the hunt.

The beagle bitch Baby Deane, shown at Toronto and 

 Rhode Island shows under the name of Beauty, was re- 

 covered by her owner, Mr. E. W. Whitcomb, on 'a writ of 

 replevin. After getting her Mr. Whitcomb sold her to the 

 man who has had her the last three years. We understand 

 that the name in which she was entered at the shows was 

 not the name of the man who claimed to own her.

Some very good bargains in beagles are to be had in the 

 new sales list Mr. Kreuder has sent out. Several prize win 

 ners, such as Fanny Racer, Fanny K. and Weenaunau are 

 among them.

The West Chester (Pa.) Hunt Club held a fox hunt last 

 week lasting six hours. The fox went away near Glen Loch, 

 ran through East Bradford and Avas finally unearthed on a 

 farm in West Bradford, where he had taken refuge. Rey- 

 nard was taken alive.

In line with its misleading policy our Quaker contemporary 

 would have us believe that its New England Beagle Club 

 trials report was written by our correspondent "Bradley." 

 This gentleman, so well known among the beagle and fox 

 hunting element that it is almost superfluous "for him to 

 use this nom de plume, wrote a report of those trials for 

 Forest and Stream only. We think it only fair to "Brad- 

 ley" to publish this explanation.

It is about time that Chicopee Lass— Pearl of Pekin fiasco 

 was allowed to rust. There is no earthly use in wasting 

 more ink over it. Whatever the merits or injustice of the

 nor buts" from anybody. 



The coursing men in San Francisco all intent upon win- 

 ning something in the coming big meeting, a local paper says: 

 "To lovers of coursing it is quite a sight to see on the Point 

 Lobos road in the early mornings the number of dogs that 

 are now in training for the San Francisco Coursing Club's 

 meeting, which will be held at Newark on Thanksgiving 

 Day and the following Sunday. >io less than thirty-two 

 longtails were out in a buueh on Thursday morning last, 

 accompanied by their various trainers. Si.x of the dogs, 

 which are owned by T, Cronin, were all looking in the pink 

 of condition. T. C. Cummings had Mr. Seal's dogs and one 

 or two others he is training for the Newark meeting. Jerry 

 Shea's trainer had also five or six fine dogs, among which 

 was noticed the fiyer Moondyne. They seemed to enjoy their 

 outing immensely judging by the way they were scampering 

 over the hills. M. Tieruau's and J. J. Edmonds's dogs Val- 

 ley Queen and the old veteran GlenfaiTon, both looking as 

 fresh and lively as puppies, were also taking a practice jog. 

 News from San Jose, Merced, Sacramento and .Stockton 

 states that the dogmen of those sections are busy rraiuing 

 their sprinters for" the big meeting. It will be the fii'st 

 coursing event held by the San Franciscos, and as rbe recent 

 rainfall has placed the ground in nice condition for dog rac- 

 ing the prospects of a good day's spon are firsr-clas~ indeed. " 

 Petaluma is a favorite ground for Dhe SanFiaucisco coiir.scrs. 

 Out there betting is indulged in to a grear exvenc, and of 

 course is responsible for a good deal of the interest mani- 

 fested by outsiders.

At the weekly shoot, Nov. 2i, with the exception of Fred Ross, who 

 made the fine .score of 249. and Gus Nowak, who captured the cham- 

 pion medal on the creditable score of 24H, on his first entry, all the 

 other members seemed to be rather out of form. If. is not uncommon 

 of a Tuesday ni^rht to see twenty or thirty scores made of 246 or 

 better. President Walther contented himself with wtxtehins the others 

 in their attempts to put up high scores. Another old time rideman, 

 Jolm H. Brown, has got to be a regular attendant at the Tuesday 

 night shoots again this season. His return to the use of his rifle agam 

 is highly gratifying to all the members.

Greenpoint Rifle Club Prize Shoot. 



The fourth annual gallery prize shoot of the Greenpoint Rifle Club, 

 which was lield on the. rauMS in Knieste's Arion Hall on Nov. IS and 

 19 was quite successful, both financially and otherwise. The pro- 

 gramme called for eight prizes ranging from gl2 down to 81, and an 

 extra or consolation prize for the shooters having the lowest score, 

 all shots to be on the target, no misses. This prize fell to Geo. Worn, 

 with a score of 33. 



Many o£ the Brooklyn rifle clubs' were represented by their best 

 marksmen. There were also visiting riflemen from New York, among 

 whom were AVm. Rosenbaum and Louis Buss, of the Etnpire Club. 

 The two days' competition resulted in some good scores. The Empire 

 Club's representative, Rosenbaum, got the first prize on two scores of 

 74 each or a total of 148 out of a possible 1.50. There were six ties for 

 the last four prizes. Tickets 3 shots, two best to count:

Greenville vs. Excelsior. 



The team match between teams from the Greenville and Excelsior 

 rifle clubs was shot in the Greenville Schutzen Park Nov. 25. 



The meiLibersliip of the two clubs is made up of the best of New 

 .Jersey's riile taltut, an.l the rivalry is of that order that begets the 

 best social relations, and stimulates a healthy interest. 



The clubs are comparatively young, but the membership contains 

 many men who have been for years known to the fraternity as good 

 shots. The Excelsior Club, under the leadership of Capt. L. P. 

 Hansen, has for five years been one of the leading rifle clubs in Hud 

 son county. 



The Greenville Club, sometimes stjded "The Farmers," is also com- 

 posed of as equally good material, and is in fact more cosmopolitan 



in its make-up than the Excelsiors, for its members are descendants 

 from nearly every nation in Europe. The Greenville Club has shown 

 its progressiveness by building a home (club house) for its members, 

 a place where the members can come together for the enjoyment of 

 rifle shooting as well as for those social relations which tend to good 

 fellowship and those ties that bind together the best elements of man- 

 hood. 



Since the club decided to build and own its own club house, which 

 was less than a year ago, it has more than doubled its membership. 

 With the club ranges for a primary school for the education of the 

 members in the use of the rifle, and the close proximity of that old and 

 popular shooting range, the Greenville Schuetzen Park, there is no 

 reason why the Greenville Club and the Greenville district should not 

 become the huh around wliich the rifle interests of New York and New 

 Jersey can revolve in a healthy whirl. 



But to revert to the match, the result of which we started out to 

 chronicle. Neither the Excelsior or the Greenville club had any great 

 desire to deplete the treasury of the other by the winning of any large 

 stakes, so the match in question was made for a nominal sum. suffi- 

 cient to cover the cost of thS use of the range and such refreshments' 

 as the needs of the members of the two teams might require during 

 and subsequent to the match. Each team was made up of five men. 

 The Greenville team was composed of the following men; M. Dorrler. 

 captain; Geo. W. Plaisted, W. C. Collins, Colin Boag and C. H, Cha- 

 vant. The Excelsior team were: L. P. Hansen, captain; John Speieher. 

 O. J. Boyce, .James Hughes and Wm. Weber. The conditions called 

 for fifty shots per man, off-hand, at 200yds. It was expected that the 

 shooting would be close and interesting, and as a consequence there 

 was quite a gathering of the members and friends of the two clubs to 

 see the shooting. 



Tbe weather conditions were line considering the lateness of the 

 season. A moderate westerly wind, the air sharp and crisp, and the 

 light all that could be asked for. In the shooting house a good big 

 stove with a liberal supply of coal made the shooters as comfortable 

 as one could desire. 



In the first roimd of 10 shots each Hansen led all his competitors. 

 But from this point on the Excelsior team was not in the hunt, Dorrler 

 and Plaisted struck one of those expert gaits that requires extra fine 

 shooting to approach. Dorrler's total for the 50 shots was 1,112, an 

 average of 22.2 per shot, Plaisted's 1,078, an average of 21.5. The 

 nearest approaching score on the part of the Excelsior team was 

 Captain Hansen whose total was 1,060, an average of 21.2 per shot. 



W. Collins, of the Greenville team, started oft' in his first string in 

 great form, but for some reason he was not able to keep up his aver- 

 age. Colin Boag was in hard luck throughout the match.

Washington vs. Southern. 



New Obleaus, Nov. 20.— Quite an interesting rifle match took place 

 yesterday between the Washington Artillery and Southern rifle clubs 

 this city, wherein the former team was defeated by a gcere of 3.3; 0 to 

 3,896, the Southerns winning by 476 points. Both clubs used the riflts 

 of the Southerns, which handicapped the Washingtons to a great ex- 

 tent. There will be a return match at Washington Artillery Hall Dec. 

 2, where the Artillery boys may have a chance to get back their
