FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. 1, 1894. 
Now, if lie goes to hear the dogs what does he take a gun 
for? and ifjhe doesn't gefc any game, what does he go to the 
expense ofj buying some for? and then if he can not buy 
game he goes home with a long face and so disappointed 
that he won't go again for a long time. 
If a dog runs more rabbits than another and holds to the 
track and does not lose it, and the man gets more rabbits, 
does it not prove that the dog has a good nose and knows 
how to handle it? Hoping to hear more from my friends.

Editor Forest and Stream: 
The field trial judge who asks "What's the use?" has evi- 
dently had considerable exoerience in this world, and knows 
that it is a waste of time to argue with men who have not 
had enough experience in beagle matters to cite more than 
two instances. However, I am of a more hopef ul turn of 
mind, and, though they remind me of the man from 
"Muzouri," who said, "Stranger, you kaint prove nothin' to 
me; yers got to show me," I hope, by appealing to their com- 
mon sense, to convince them that beagle hounds are first- 
class rabbit dogs. 
Their proof that beagle hounds are not good rabbit dogs 
by saying that they once had a cross-bred dog that was a 
better rabbit dog than a certain beagle hound they or some 
one else owned, is about as rich as a statement I once heard, 
that a certain man hadn't a tooth in his head and yet he 
could beat a bass drum as well as any man. Do not these 
beagle critics know that a large class of sportsmen and 
hunters in this country are using beagle hounds for hunting 
rabbits, coons, foxes and deer in preference to any other dogs? 
Is not the knowledge of such a fact enough to convince them 
that beagle hounds are good hunters and useful dogs? If it 
does not, why it would be a waste of time to take them 
afield with the best beagle hounds in the country, for they 
would simply think they were good dogs in spite of their 
being beagles. I aon't remember of seeing but one Chesa- 
peake Bay dog asked to do work, and you might as well have 
asked a pug dog to retrieve from the water; he was simply 
worthless, yet I have no doubt whatever that they, as a breed, 
are one of the best, if not the best, retrievers we have. 
I am not arguing with pot-hunters or meat-hunters, but 
with sportsmen who want to be informed. If you are a,fter 
numbers, get a ferret and a net, as has already been suggested 
by some correspondent, and don't fool with a dog at all. If you 
want keen, high-grade sport, get some beagles. The fact 
that you have already owned one or two or three that were 
timid, gun-shy or otherwise useless does not cut any figure. 
If you have been buying bird dogs or foxhounds, you nave 
no doubt had just as many failures. I have. I now own a 
beautiful beagle bitch that is a good rabbit hunter, yet she 
will q.uit the woods, go home and crawl under the barn at 
the sight of a gun. She has the ambition and ability of a 
good rabbit dog, but has been frightened out of being useful. 
A dog that has no nerves and cannot be frightened, is not 
finely enough constituted to ever amount to much. Atimid, 
nervous dog, once field and gun-broken, is a "hummer." 
And I like to hunt behind such a dog, be it a hound or bird 
dog. Mr. Editor, I now feel like your private correspondent — 
"what's the use?" — and have a mind to tear this letter up, 
but remember I started out in a hopeful frame of mind, and 
will let it go. AgAmak.

Beagle Meets. 
Editor Forest and Stream-: 
Noting in your last issue the suggestion by "Comedy" to 
beagle owners to have a meet not less than once a week and 
run their beagles for the good of the breed, I feel that I want 
to say a word. "Comedy," you have hit the nail on the 
head, but you have not hit it quite hard enough. 
If all owners of beagles knew of the benefit that would ac- 
crue to the breed from this, I think they would one and all 
enter into it, only they should run three times a week in- 
stead of once. The good would come not only from giving 
the little hound a better standing among sporting people, 
but the hounds' health would be improved. 
You can ruin the health of the. best hound that ever lived 
by too much confinement; exercise they need and must have 
to be good dogs. If they do not have proper exercise their 
bowels become inactive and what should pass from them 
flows backjinto the system and affects the liver and kidneys, 
and your hound will be afflicted with weak back, weak legs, 
and even the voice will be affected. 
Then again, when they take food into the stomach, espe- 
cially of a greasy nature, they will vomit, and anything like 
milk will curdle in their stomachs and cause vomiting. The 
flesh grows very soft, and when you take them out to run 
they soon heat and tire, this also often causiDg large tumors 
to grow on the neck. Their feet also become tender, and if 
they heat them and cause them to be sore, will probably 
always suffer from this. 
Now I run my little beagle about four hours a day, five 
days in a week, during the coolest part of the day, and her 
flesh is solid, feet are tough, nails well worn down, and her 
health is so good that when she comes in from a run she will 
jump a cane held hip high until you tire of it. 
Give the beagle a chance and you will find he is all there, 
and there will be no complaints such as brothers Ellis and 
Robinson made. I was all foxhound once, I did not know 
any better; they are good, but the beagle is better, and I love 
them. Some day I will write my experience with different 
breeds, and some of my hunts. Columbia.

HUNTING AND COURSING NOTES. 
FIXTURES. 
Mr. Ira D. Brougher, the secretary, writes that they have 
organized the Cheyenne Coursing Club at Great Bend, Kan., 
and will hold their annual meeting on the Cheyenne bot- 
toms, near Great Bend, Oct. 30, with Mr. E H. Mulcaster as 
judge and Wm. Airhart as slipper. There will be a liberal 
stake, making all entries $5, and all puppies whelped after 
Jan. 1, 1893, are eligible to the Puppy Stake.

"Nominator" writes from Mitchell, S. D.: "I am in 
receipt of a letter from J. Harvey Rew, of Artesian, stating 
that Delsarte gave birth to seven fine, healthy-looking grey- 
hound puppies by Sir Hugo. If breeding tells these ought 
to make 'good ones. ' He no doubt will have a demand for 
this strain. Large purses in the Derbys of '95 will bring to 
the front a goodly number of young dogs and all hard to 
knock out. I am glad to see that this subject is already 
being agitated by greyhound breeders and coursers."

Mr. Mitchell Harrison's two greyhounds, Boundaway and 
Bird, which have been taking it easy all summer at the 
Chestnut Hill Kennels, have been shipped to Colorado 
Springs, and under Mr. Vidler's care will be trained for the 
Altcar meeting.

There seems to be quite a ruffling of the newspaper mind in Great 
Britain over the statement that the centerboard of the Vigilant was 
not lost the other day, as at first supposed, but "jammed in the 
trunk" of the famous yacht. The Times especially wants an "explan- 
ation of the affair." Certainly the officers of the Vigilant should 
have been more careful in packing the trunk aforesaid. Everybody 
who has ever had one to pack for any purpose knows the aggravating 
habit that things have of slipping in "unbeknownst," aad having to 
be Searched for in great worriment of mind. But to misplace any 
thing as valuable as a centerboard in this way really is unpardonable! 
No wonder the Times which is nothing if not orderly in all matters of 
red tape, is disgusted.— Scranton Truth. 
Vigilant. 
As to the record which Vigilant has so far made abroad the writer 
must confess that it is not as good as even his conservative estimate 
of a majority of wins, made when the trip was decided upon and her 
chances were fully discussed. Taking out, however, the six Clyde 
races in which the Vigilant was admittedly in poor trim, the record is 
not so far from an even one as it might be. Vigilant has won five out 
eleven races In Ireland and the south of England, and in all except one 
of these races has done about as was expected. The exception was 
the race of Aug. 9, when she was beaten by Britannia in a working 
topsail breeze. The ragged condition of her keel from grounding on 
the Isle of Wight, and the poor fit of her head sails will in part 
account for the defeat. 
But in spite of the record already made, the writer will not give up 
his positi ;n that in the open-ocean racing, for which she was designed, 
Vigilant is the superior boat, nor will he be convinced to the contrary 
until Britannia shall have beaten her under such Conditions. 
Britannia is a fast boat, a much faster one than Americans believed, 
and in light airs she is undoubtedly faster than Vigilant. She has the 
advantage, too, of working quickly in stays, an advantage in narrow 
waters which an American designer would not overlook in designing 
a boat to race over the British racing circuit. She is also admirably 
handled by a trained crew, which work together as one man, and in a 
way which Vigilant'8 crew, good as the men are, could not be ex- 
pected to equal in the comparatively short time they have been 
together. 
The result has been a series of most interesting and hotly contested 
races, when the least slip or mishandling on one side meant victory 
for the other. Defeat under such circumstances is no discredit, and 
Americaus have more reason to feel proud of Vigilant and her 
archievements than as if she had met a boat vastly her inferior and 
scored a series of uninterrupted victories.— Boston Globe. 
Since our last issue the Vigilant has sailed in only one match, in a 
fresh breeze and some sea and was outsailed by the Satanita and Britr 
annia. 
We gave some figures last week relatingto the average speed of the 
matches sailed in British waters, and a correspondent writes to aak 
whether the time of the Scotch races would not be affected in some 
degree by the strong currents that generally prevail in Scotch lochs. 
We do not think that it would, as these matches were sailed over 
short courses, requiring to be sailed over twice in order to make the 
distance, and the tide under these circumstances would probably not 
help a yacht more on one leg than it would hold her back on another. 
The rise and fall of tide in the Clyde where these matches were sailed 
is only 8J^ft. neap and 10ft. spring, which does not indicate an unusu- 
ally strong current. The same correspondent suggests that a compar- 
ison of the time of the Volunteer and Vigilant only betaken in the 
cup matches, as these two yachts undoubtedly outclassed their prede- 
cessors. 
Our object in giving the comparative averages between the cup 
races and the races sailed in British waters by the Vigilant was not so 
much to draw a comparison of speed as to dispose of the misleading 
statements which have appeared to the effect that the races won by 
the Britannia were mere drifting matches, and we took the first nine 
matches sailed in British waters because they corresponded in num- 
ber with the cup races sailed in these waters, but a further compari- 
son shows that if the five matches sailed by the Volunteer and 
Vigilant only are taken, the average speed is 7.94 knots, while, if the 
fastest averages of the nine matches sailed in British waters to which 
we referred are taken, the average is 8.9S knots. We think these 
points well worthy of consideration, and thank our correspondent for 
calling our attention to them. 
It is stated that Britannia is sailing much faster this season than 
last, and this is probably ti ue, as a racing yacht usually sails faster 
her second year than during her first, and it is quite certain that the 
Vigilant is sailing much faster than she did last year, her best avera- 
ges in the cup matches being 8.80 and 8.82 knots, when there was a 
good breeze and everything favorable for fast sailing. She has, how- 
ever, greatly exceeded this speed on several occasions in British 
waters this year, among which may be mentioned her average record 
of 10.33 knots at Bangor, 9.33 knots at Cork and 11.70 at Cowes. 
The recent episode of the centerboard is certainly mortifying, and 
calls for further explanation. Mr. Gould has proved himself a true 
sportsman. He purchased the Vigilant, the fastest yacht in the coun- 
try, and engaged the best sailing master, officers and crew obtainable; 
he retained the designer and builder of the yacht together with her 
sailmaker, to accompany her abroad, to put her in the best shape for 
racing on the otner side; indeed, no racing yacht has ever been equip- 
ped with so much care and liberality as the Vigilant has been this 
season. Mr. Gould has paid for the best, and if the best has not been 
good enough, surely it is no fault of his. 
No one would think of building a yacht like the Vigilant or Brit- 
annia except for racing purposes, and neither of these yachts 
embody any principle of naval architecture which is of any use or can 
be applied to the man-of-war, merchantman, pilot boat or fisherman. 
It is fortunate that we are represented abroad by a yachtsmen who 
has won respect under the most trying circumstances, for yachting 
is a sport where the only vital principle involved is fair play and gen- 
lemanly conduct.— Marine Journal. 
The Goulds continue to furnish the chroniclers of small beer with 
material for a particularly cheap and nasty article of froth. When 
the Goulds first went over on the other side, the gifted persons who 
do "society" and "gossip" for our great dailies, metropolitan and 
otherwise, confidently predicted that George Gould's object was to 
ingratiate himself with the Prince of Wales by having tne Vigilant 
beaten by the Britannia on all occasions. It occurred to these remark- 
able minds that the Prince could be captured by that kind of flunkey- 
ism and that George Gould was just the sortof flunkey to do the trick. 
The aforesaid writers, therefore, fell over each other in their haSte to 
picture Mr. Gould as a miserable toady, anxious to barter his man- 
hood and his honor for a roral smile. He was described in the 
contemptible manner of a lickspittle who had reduced aervility to a 
fine art and was about to make the most of bis acquirements. 
Of course this pretty and commendable theory was discredited by 
the subsequent performances of the Vigilant and the demonstration 
on the part of Mr. Gould to the eifeat that his yacht could sail when 
it had any wind to sail with. Two or three notable victories achieved 
by the Yankee racer arrested for the moment the flow of this nause- 
ous gush. The check was only temporary, however (for the scandal 
monger never really dies), and now, owing to the accident that befell 
the Vigilant's centerboard a few days ago, we have the caekla in full 
force again. Now we are told that that dinner with the Prince of 
Wales and the Emperor of Germany did the business for Gould and 
that, whatever honorable and sportsmanlike impulses he may have 
yielded to on previous occasions, the effect of such august and glitter- 
ing festivities was fatal. Gould finally concluded that he could not 
requite the Prince's condescension by beating his yacht any more 
and so, as the day promised a stiff breeze ane those conditions under 
which the Vigilant is invincible, George deliberately jammed his cen- 
terboard and withdrew from the contest. 
If our society mud-fliugers, however, were really artistic, they 
would not overlook the Battenberg incident "as a means of corrobo- 
rating their agreeable and high-minded theories concerning the Gould 
family. It appears that one of the younger princes of that royal but 
poverty-stricken family has been casting a frugal and far-seeing eye 
upon Miss Anna Gould, now with her brother George's party. Why 
not complete the picture of George Gould's degradation by adding 
the statement that he has an additional motive in playing toady to 
the Prince of Wales— the desire to palm off his sister on this royal 
pauper. It is a rity to ignore such an opportunity as that. 
Meanwhile, we fancy that the Goulds are paying about as much 
attention to the society reporters as they have hitherto paid to soci- 
ety itself. It is not likely that, having failed to bow down to Ward 
McAllister, they have suddenly become solicitous as to the opinions 
of his smaller satellites. It is a tremendous if not a pretty how de-doo, 
all the same — a shining exhibition of the possibilities of American 
» journalism.— Was hington Post. 
The Improvement of Measurement Rules. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I have read with much interest your excellent remarks as quoted in 
the Yachtsman of Aug. 2, and am delighted to see that you agree with 
the proposal I made in the Field some months since, that there should 
be a limit of measurement (either American corrected length or Y. R. 
A. rating, it matters not which) to rule both the challenger for and the 
defender of the America Cup. It is simply barbarity to continue to 
race under a length of hull classification and no maximum limit of 
measurement. The length of hull should not be mentioued at all. 
The challenge should be a single sentence: I hereby challenge for the 
America Cup, and will race for it with a yacht not exceeding (such 
and such) corrected length, by American rule, which is not to be ex- 
ceeded by the defender. 
But I write more especially to ask you to ventilate the following 
proposal which I have made in some of the English yachting papers, 
viz. : If in any racing yacht the maximum depth of hull from deck to 
floors be less than half extreme beam, the difference shall be added to 
the length on waterline before computing either American corrected 
length or Y. R. A. rating. 
I have worked diligently at the question of improving the existing 
rules of rating for a long time, as may be gathered from Chapter VII. 
in the Badminton series on yachting, but it has only occurred to me 
recently that the rules might be improved by the above proposed 
proviso. It is very simple and is easily applied. It would not affect 
the large yachts to any appreciable extent, and it would adversely 
handicap the extreme raft-like struct ures which are being developed in 
the small classes and which promise to sweep the sea of any boats of 
more moderate type. 
I hope you will give me and your readers the benefit of a critical ex- 
amination of the proposal. You will ob3erve that boats having a 
depth equal to or exceeding their half beam would not be affected by 
it, and those affected would not be wrecked. They would simply have 
to clip some sail to keep within their classification and would still win 
in strong breezes, which appears to be the weather in which they are 
most successful. Thalassa. 
The features which are generally recognized as undesirable in the 
latest racing yachts are, as we understand the case, two in number; 
first, alack of displacement on a given length; and second, even in 
cases where the displacement is ample in amount, the employment of 
extreme dimensions of beam and draft, giving a form that is essen- 
tially weak in construction and of a minimum of internal capacity. 
If this statement of the case is a correct one, we fear that our cor- 
respondent's proposal, though in the right direction, would by no 
means go far enough to effect a complete euro; besides which it is 
open to a serious objection as to its detail. 
If there is a gain of speed by adhering to the fin type, the proposed 
penalty on beam and premium on depth might be made imperative by 
substituting for the simple fin of Dilemma and Wenonah, fastened 
outside the keel of a canoe-shaped hull, a construction similar to that 
of Jubilee, the fin being made of two plates instead of one, with a 
space between; the steel angles being bent down to give a fictitious 
depth to the hull where measured, though the actual midship section 
would show no more head room than in Wenonah and Dacotah, Such 
a construction would be more difficult and expensive in a wooden hull, 
but not in a steel one, and we believe that it would be quite possible to 
evade the proposed measurement to a serious extent, and yet to pro- 
duce the same type of machine. 
Apart from this, there is a serious objection to the employment of 
any measure that is not derived solely from the outside of the bull, 
the actual akin of the vessel, regardless of the construction. The re- 
cognized commercial standards of measurement, such as the various 
tonnage dimensions and measurements of different governments, and 
' Lloyds measurements, are entirely out of the question in yacht racing 
formulas, for the two reasons that such measurements are at best in- 
accurate and indeterminate, the points to which the measurements 
are taken being often located in the loosest manner; and in any case, 
the best of these measurements depending solely on the construction 
of the vessel, whether steel, wood or composite. 
To be really effective in a measurement formula for yacht racing, 
all dimensions must be taken from the outside of the skin, regardless 
of the construction. It is quite true that in existing boats a measure- 
ment of the depth of hold, or some similar dimension, might answer, 
but before the next keel would be laid, every designer would have 
settled on some trick of construction that would completely evade 
the measurement without sacrificing the freak features of the design. 
However easy it may be to indicate the general features that are 
desirable in a rule, it is a very difficult matter to formulate a definite 
proposition. Even if easily obtainable, which it is not, the displace- 
ment would not fit the case entirely; its use as a divisor in soraethin g 
akin to the present length aDd sail area formulas would lead to the 
production of yachts of comparatively heavy displacement, thus 
checking one evil ; but if the inducement offered, this displacement 
might be disposed in a more exaggerated form than that of Vigilant, 
giving a shallow hull with a deep keel. 
On the other hand, by the employment of beam and depth or draft, 
a compact and shipshape form of section could be obtained; but the 
final result might be the canoe body minus the deep fin. 
The problem of obtaining a fairly large displacement in a compact 
form of section which shall be str actually strong, and shall have its 
space in a shape available for headroom as well as breadth, has not 
yet been solved. 
Pilgrim. 
The ex-fin-keel Filgrira was launched at Mclntyre & Kirk's yard on 
Aug. 13 after being converted into a steam yacht. The Boston Globe 
describes her as follows: "She retains most of her former hull, and 
the long, overhanging bow gives her a peculiar appearance. Her im- 
mense single stick and bowsprit are gone. She has been entirely 
decked over, and when she makes her trial trip few more handsome 
craft will float in these waters. She is 126ft. over all, 85ft, waterline, 
23ft. beam and but 5ft. draft, in place of her great fin-keel. Aft of the 
pilot house is a large and commodious saloon, which can also be used 
as a dining room. It is finished in natural wood, carved and polished, 
and has an elegant sideboard with leaded glass doors, with a large 
French plate-glass mirror in the center From this saloon a door leads 
into the butler's pantry, which is connected with the kitchen by a 
dumb-waiter and special stairway. Aft of the engine room are three 
state rooms for the owner's guests. These rooms are supplied with 
lavatories and other conveniences. The finish is white and gold with 
richly upholstered mats. Forward of the engine room on the lower 
deck is the kitchen, which is a model affair, being supplied with a set 
range, ice chest, etc. Leading off the kitchen is the officers' cabin, 
which has also an entrance from the pilot house. Next comes the 
mess room, which has two spare berths, the steward's cabin and the 
forecastle, with herths for the crew, the entrance to the forecastle 
being from a hatchway, near whichis a steam winch. The deck aft of 
the main saloon is fitted with seats, and the whole deck is inclosed 
with netting. She is a twin-screw vessel and has 200-horse power com- 
pound engines and two water-tube boilers. She is expected to develop 
a speed of 14 knots. She also has two light masts, so that if necessary 
she can reach harbor under canvas. The outside of the steamer is 
painted white, with a broad gold stripe, and the name Pilgrim appears 
in gold letters on either side of the pilot house." 
The Blackballing of Mr. Clarke. 
A correspondent of the Boston Herald sends the f ollowing story of 
the alleged reasons for the recent blackballing of Mr. A. D. Clarke, 
owner of Satanita, by the Royal Yacht Squadron; after being propos- 
ed by the Prince of Wales: 
"There is a story behind the blackballing of the owner of the Satan- 
ita, Mr. A. D. Clarke, last week by the members of the Royal Yacht 
Club Squadron, after being proposed by the Prince of Wales. 
"The story dates from the collision of the Valkyrie and the Satanita 
on the Clyde, in which the former was sunk. Lord and Lady Lennox 
were on board the Valkyrie at the time of the collision, and Lady 
Lennox was much prostrated by the accident, she barely getting off 
with her life. 
"Lord Lennox and her Ladyship are prominent in British society 
and have many friends. Lady Lennox is a yachtswoman and enjoyed 
the honor of being the only lady on hoard the Valkyrie in her first 
intended race against the Vigilant in British waters. It was the inten- 
tion of Lord Lennox and his wife to participate in all the races along 
the different British coasts in the Valkyrie, and both were fitted out 
n the way of clothing and valuables for a month's cruise. Lady Leu .
