sharp nose. Belle hunts well enough, but her tongue gets 
the best of her head sometimes. 
Lewi-— Jean Val Jean— The=e were put down in cover 
at 2:25. Both dogs hunted industriously and their work was 
marked by good style and intelligence, though in the latter 
quality Jean easily led, After a while a hare was started in 
a pathway and dogs brought on. Jean tongued first and led 
off, but lost directly; working back to top of rising grouud 
Jean lifted the trail again and carried it to the bottoms. 
Here he showed some very snappv, heady work, and man- 
aged to cover a lot of ground in his casts but missing no 
likely spots that would hold a scent. Casting back to hill 
he ran the trail again, Lewis, who seemed discouraged by 
the snappy work of his rival, dawdling to one side. It turned 
out there were two hares moving, as they were seen to come 
out of woods. Dogs up at 2:50. Lewis began his heat well, 
but afterward, whether rattled by the crowd or not, he 
seemed to lose interest, but Jean, as stated, seemed to be in 
every likely spot at once and did brilliant work. Both were 
stylish workers and under good control. 
The next heat should have been Zeno's bye, but as there 
was only one entry left in the All- Age under 13in., the Forest 
B-agle Kennels' Gypsey Forest and Viola being absent, and 
Mr. Hanson anxious to return home that evening, it was 
decided to allow his entry to run off for the prize, an account 
of which run will be given in due order. 
Z kno (a bye) with Piper— Having returned to the farm- 
house after the 13in. walkover, this brace was cast off in 
rough pasture below the house, a part of the grounds we had 
not yet hunted over. After covering a good many acres, the 
spectators spied a hare and hounds were drawn on. Both 
tongued, but Zeno struck it right first, then both took it up 
in hopeful fashion, but could not hit the trail warm enough 
to carry them along. Then put down on hillside Zeno struck 
a trail and carried us at a ripping pace up the hill, followed 
closely by Piper. This was hot work, it is bad enough to 
take your hills plain, but when it comes to fighting briars 
and rocks in the mad race to keep within striking distance 
of the hounds, the result is a little demoralizing to one's 
temper. A welcome check gave opportunity to notice that 
it was raining, and the keen northeast wind boded no good 
either for present scent or the morrow's hunting. Circling 
down the hill the hounds ran well, again Piper leading quite 
a distance. Then as it was raining hard and getting dark 
the dogs were called off at 4:55. Both worked well, but it 
was easy seen that the Derby winner Zeno would be lost in 
the shuffle among the older dogs. A wet ride home ensued 
and the weather-wise predicted no hunting to-morrow. 
All-Age, 1 3in. and Under. 
Olaf of Denmark— Clyde.— It is four years next month 
since I first saw Clyde work the cotton-tails, but the little 
dog keeps up well and is still able to do a good day's work, 
and in his run here showed that there are few of his inches 
that can lead him. A.H.Morse handled Clyde, he having 
had him at his farm for some time. Cast off at 2:55 in rough 
pasture, Clyde found a trail, and Olaf, brought to the line, 
chimed in and followed Clyde for a sharp burst across brushy 
woods to the boundary wall, where we found both dogs try- 
ing to get up. the hole where puss had disappeared. A good 
deal of hunting was done during the heat, and Olaf showed 
himself a fair to middling sort of a dog and was awarded the 
stake. 
THURSDAY. 
Rain, rain and more rain, with wind enough to blow scent 
sky high. An attempt was made about 8 A. M. to carry out 
the day's programme, but after driving to the Jefferson 
farm it was found utterly impossible to continue the run- 
ning, and as it was no use getting wet through for nothing, 
the horses' heads were turned back to the hotel, where the 
day was spent in keeping the stove warm and spinning such 
yarns that Landlord Bacon had to shake himself to be sure 
ho wasn't dreaming. 
In the afternoon President Joslyn took several of his visit- 
ors through the Joslyn shoe factory, and to those of us 
whose knowledge of the shoe's construction extended no 
further than its fit, the sight was a most interesting one. 
There is an old saying, "There's nothing like leather," but 
Yankee ingenuity gets the better of it here. 
FRIDAY. 
At 6 A. M. there were several noses flattened against as 
many window panes in the endeavor to see the color of the 
skies. There was no rain, but that is as much as could be 
said, for the clouds hung low, and only those who were 
compelled to turned out to see the finish runs. A raw north 
wind did not add to our comfort, nor promise holding scent. 
The dogs for the second series of the All-Age 15in. class had 
been decided upon, and Dorsey's Molly, Royal Rover, Buck- 
shot, Jean Val. Jean, Piper .and Blanche were left in and 
called in the order named. 
Second Series. 
Dorset's Molly— Royal Rover.— No one expected to see 
much hunting, as it commenced to rain soon after starting 
into the woods, the only place to find game This brace, 
uuder Mr. Clark's charge, started out at 8:35 with littte en- 
thusiasm — as if they knew the game was not worth the 
candle. Rover did some very careful hunting — some might 
say he pottered a bit, opened a few times, but what with the 
rain and the wind could not follow it up. Molly, who was 
not in proper shape, hunted earnestly, considering the disad- 
vantages under which she labored. After going about an 
hour they were called up. 
Buckshot— Jean Val Jean.- We all knew that in these 
two we had the winners, and that if there was any fur above 
grouud they would find it. They were cast off at 9:45 in the 
same rough ground, and started off at a 2:10 gait, Jean show- 
ing prominently in his snappy, intelligent hunting, while 
Buckshot made his casts wider aud more after the manner of 
a foxhouud. A hare was seen and dogs drawn on to the line. 
Jean took it up directly and with a check or two, first one 
hound and then the other leading, carried us at a merry pace 
through the dripping cover to a wall— no time to hole, but 
over into bushy grouud, where the trail was lost, and then 
both dogs showed their good hunting sense. Mr. Turpin saw 
the hare and both dogs were drawn to the line, but they did 
not hit it off properly, Jean tongueing now and then. Buck- 
shot tried back to the wall, and Jean followed, aud working 
prettily, struck it hot, and Buck harking to him drove at a 
good pace across an orchard to a wall near a farm house, 
where puss got out of the wet and danger. Dogs up at 10:25. 
D. Molly— Royal Rover— Were tried again in the open 
where Mr. Turpin's lynx eye had spied asmallrabbit. Rover 
was the first to open on it but lost directly. The hare was 
seen to go down the hollow but neither dog did good work 
on it, driving slowly with frequent checks, and they were 
taken up at 10:50, and we tramped to the Jefferson farm for 
Piper— Blanche. — These two were put down at edge of 
covert back of the barn. After thirty minutes' walking 
Blanche showing most hunts, A. H. Morse started fur and 
Blanche was the first on, drove for a little way, lost, picked 
it up again and then both drove nicely across the woods 
again to a check; picking up again to one side they hustled 
puss along at a lively rate, aud she, using all her wiles, 
caused several checks in the drive to the wall, where she 
took refuge. Piper in this latter work finished alone. There 
were two rabbits on foot and this bothered Blanche to some 
extent. Up at 12:25. Blanche showed the most intelligence 
in casting, the keenest nose, and hunted very carefully. • 
Piper had the foot of her when it came to a race." The judges 
seemed determined to give 
Molly and Roveu every chance, and had them down 
again after lunch, at 1 P. M. Soon after starting a hare 
was seen squatting by Judge Guyn, and hounds brought up 
did not strike at ouce, but- casting to one side Rover hit the 
trail and ran for a snort distance, then Molly had her turn 
and treated us to a nice bit of casting, drove puss for a turn, 
and then relinquished the lead to Rover, who drove through 
the fence across a spinney to a wall where he lost, and dogs 
were called off shortly after, at 1:30. 
Third Series. 
Buckshot— Blanche. — Moving to another part of grounds, 
our best spot in open rough pasture, these two were put 
down at 1:55. Very soon Blanche started fur and led a 
sharp burst across the open to the old stone heap, where the 
hare sought cover and escaped. These walls break up all 
the likely runs. Mr. Reed handled both these dogs and 
Buckshot did his share of the hunting, After running off 
the 13in. Derby the judges decided on this stake as follows: 
Jean Val Jean first, Buckshot second, Blanche third, and 
Piper reserve, a decision that met with every indorsement. 
Derby, 1 3in. and Under. 
There were four entries in this stake, but Glenrose Ken- 
nels' Pride of Glenrose did not fill its engagement. They 
were drawn as follows: 
Geo. Laick's black, white and tan dog Laick's Roy CRover 
— Minnie L.), handler, Geo. F. Reed, with W. Randall's 
black, white and tan bitch Lola Lee (pedigree notjmblished), 
handler, W. S. Clark. 
Glenrose Beagle Kennels' black, white and tan bitch Bea- 
trice of Glenrose (Fifer— Gypsey A.), a bye, handler, owner, 
F. W. Chapman. 
First Series. 
Laick's Roy— Lola Lee.— These were put down in same 
pasture. The rain had stopped and every one felt in a better 
humor to appreciate the difficulties of the haudlers iu their 
efforts to make their little green ones hunt. It was soon 
seen that this was a hopeless task as far as Roy was con- 
cerned, for he acted as scared as the game he should have 
hunted. Mr. Turpin obligingly kicked up a hare, and dogs 
were drawn right to the line, but they would not have it. 
Clark in his eagerness stepped on the trail and Reed claimed 
a foul and the laugh that followed stirred Lola into working 
humor, and trailing nice and gently she followed out the old 
trail that led to the stone heap. Moving on to another cover 
Roy evidently read the sign on the gate forbidding all hunt- 
ing, an order he religiously followed. Here Lola picked out 
a twisting trail and had quite a jolly time, with Roy joining 
in when he thought no one was looking at him. Up at 2:40. 
Lola did all the work, such as it was, and shaped quite 
nicely toward the end; with more opportunites she will prob- 
ably make a good hunter. Roy has done well in pack work, 
but did not care to go it alone 
Beatrice of Glenrose-Lola Lee.— Beatrice ran her bye 
with Lola. Both handlers of the other dogs protested Bea- 
trice for oversize, but she was allowed to run under protest 
and be measured on our return, when she was found to come 
under the bar. Lola tongued on a trail, and both drove 
across the roadway to a check, Beatrice leading at the finish. 
Lola, however, did the hunting and picked off the turns and 
drove to the wall. Up at 3:30. Lola was improving all the 
time and was hunting very eagerly. 
Second Series. 
Laick's Roy— Beatrice— Down at 3:12 in the same cover. 
Beatrice ran the old trail and showed up better, Ray joining 
in now and then. Up at 3:20 and we walked back to the 
Jefferson barn where the judges rendered their decisions. 
Lola Lee first, Beatrice of Glenrose second, third withheld. 
Champion Stake. 
There was only one entry — Jean Val Jean — aud he was 
cast off for a walkover. He showed his qualification for the 
title by trailing out a leveret about 2in. long, and the New 
England Beagle Trials were over for 1894. H. W. L. 
How they Felt About it. ✓ 
(With Apologies to Mr. Iluugh.) 
H. S. Joslin.— No, you can't buy my dog; his price is the 
same now as it was before the trials. 
li. S. Turpin.— Wish they'd put conning towers up on the 
grounds so that reporters could see the dogs work and not 
have to run so much. 
W. S. Clark.— They ought to run these dogs coupled; how 
is a man to handle two hounds iu one heat? 
"Canada Oray." — I tell you it's two dollars to nothing I 
win at Hempstead; they can't stand a load of "Buckshot." 
if. Hanson. — No, Olaf is not a great Dane. 
Thos. ShaUcross — You see, we don't come to the trials 
blowing about w T hat our dogs can do at home; we wait till 
they win. 
W. E. Haipgood — The beagle is a hound, and his eyesight 
is so keen he has no use for his nose. See? 
67. B. Appleby— Fooling with beagles is all right, but I 
killed thirteen foxes last season. That's the stuff. 
0. IF. Quyn— Can you blow my horn? I think we got them 
about right. 
F. W, Chapman— I'm no hog. I don't want to win all the 
time; but you look outforUmsly next year. I'll get his ears 
plugged. 
The Rabbits— Say, are they gone? 
HUNTING AND COURSING NOTES. 
The Northwestern Beagle Field Trials Club has an entry 
for its meeting of next week that the club members must be 
proud of. It shows that the beagle interests are in the care 
of the proper men, and the only regret is that the distance 
from the Eastern beagle men is too great to admit of the 
latter sending many of their dogs to compete. Mr. W. S. 
Clark, of Linden, Mass., will judge in place of Mr. Joe 
Lewis, who is unable to officiate. The club is particularly 
lucky in being able to secure such an able judge. At the 
N. E. B. C. meeting held last week there were many anxious 
inquiries as to the number of entries for the Columbus fixture, 
ana considerable interest was evinced in the coming meeting. 
The club, however, should not lend itself to partiality in 
publishing the entries in the different stakes. Forest and 
Stream has accorded the club every privilege in its power in 
giving publicity to the club's arrangements for the trials. 
In return we should have received the list of entries at the 
same time as other journals. Instead of this the entries were 
not ■mailed by the secretary until our press day, Oct. 23, and 
therefore received too lace for our last week's issue. 
The trials commence on Nov. 7, and all dogs must be at 
Columbus, Wis., on Nov. 6, as they will be measured at 8 
P. M. , and afterward the draw for the Derby will take place. 
TheO, M. & St. Paul trains leave Milwaukee. at 12:50, 5:10 
and 11 A. M., and 1 and 9 P. M., for Columbus, Wis. The 
Hotel Tremont will be the club's headquarters, and the rates 
will be £1 per day for those attending the field trials. Mr. 
Steffen writes that rabbits are reported plentiful. 
Among the list of specials are several that are quite valu- 
able, in fact, more so than at any beagle trials yet held. The 
winner in Class A will get a gold medal, value §25, given by 
Mr. G. Pabst. The Class B winner takes a gun, value .$25, 
and Mr. Buckstaff gives an office chair for best in Class D, 
and so on, the specials ranging in value from $5 to $200, the 
latter sum being the value of a painting .given by Mr. Ost- 
haus, of the winner in the champion class. Forest AND 
Stream gives subscription to beagle showing most hunting 
sense. 
The National Fox Hunters' Association's first annual meet- 
ing De held, as already announced, at Olympian Springs, 
Ky., Nov. 19, This resort is 144 miles from Louisville, near 
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, and the fare from Louis- 
ville, round trip, is $5.76. All roads entering Louisville will 
give special rates. Arrangements have been made with the 
Olympian Springs management to place their hotel and cot- 
tages at the disposal of visitors, and board and lodging can 
be had for not more than -SI. 50 a day; board of horses, 50 cents 
a day. Good saddle horses can be had at $1.50 a day, but 
should be engaged in advance by writing the secretary. This 
promises to be the largest gathering of fox hunters ever held 
in the United States, and every fox hunter in the country 
will find a welcome for his hounds and himself. The secre- 
tary, Mr. Harry L. Means, of Louisville, will give any fur- 
ther information that may be required.

Mr. L. F. Bartels went to St. Louis Oct. 18, to get his 
greyhound Border Ruffian which had been stolen from him 
March 23. He writes: "My trip to St. Lous turned out to 
be successful, and the dog I went after proved to be Border 
Ruffian, The parties who had him, in order to disguise him, 
had cut off the tips of his ears and had dyed him in places 
with nitrate of silver or some other strong solution. The 
dog, however, knew me the moment I spoke to him and 
jumped all over me with joy at seeing me again. I recog- 
nized him, although dyed and disfigured about the ears, I 
should have known him had he been painted all over. The 
replevin case was set for the 22d, but as I have the dog in my 
possession, I don't care about the proceedings and wiil com- 
pel them to fight on the replevin bond. I do not think the 
parties who had him will take any action, for fear of uncov- 
ering the thief." Mr. Bartels must be congratulated on the 
recovery of his dog. A moral may be drawn from this — you 
may dye the dog but the dog's affection for his master never 
dies while it lives.

CHATHAM, N. B. 
Friday, Oct. 19. 
Thk judges of the race of Oct. 11 gave the prizes to the second and 
third boatB on the ground that the leading ones had turned a mark- 
boat incorrectly, and the racing fever ran -so high that one more con- 
test was agreed upon. A purse was subscribed by the yacht owners 
and a few others for another race on Friday, Oct. 19. 
The wind blew hard from the west, but was streaky in places near 
the shores. The course was twice around a five-mile broad A off 
Chatham, being practically a run and a beat, with all the windward 
work in the teeth of a very strong ebb tide. Oriana started first, but 
was overpowered by the strong gusts she got on the first of the beat 
up, and was passed by Maude and Learig. Near the upper buoy she 
passed Learig and put Maude about, but the latter got a favorable 
slant off the south shore, while the other two were fighting for the 
weather gauge on the north side, and rounded nearly five minutes 
ahead, with Oriana next. 
Oriana's topsail halliard parted and the spreader for winging out her 
balloonjib washed off the deck, so that she was left to make the run 
with nothing but her mainsail drawing. Learig passed her, but she 
made a better turn at the lower buoy and crossed Learig's bows on 
the first tack; but Learig passed both her and Maude before reaching 
the upper mark again. Maude's peak halliards gave way and she lost 
four or five minutes in bending it again, which put her out of the 
race, hut she kept gamely on to the finish. Learig got first money 
and Oriana second. The w harves and shores were lined with inter- 
ested spectators, and exhibil ions of clever seamanship were frequently 
cheered.

The Mediterranean Regattas. 
As we have already announced, Mr. Gordon Bennett and Baron de 
Rothschild have offered valuable prizes for sailing yachts at Nice re- 
getta; but a hitch has occurred as to the terms of the matches. Mr. 
Gordon Bennett decided that the matches should be sailed under 
Y.R.A. rules and rating; but the Baron would not agree that his 
prizes should be also sailed under these rules, but under the rules and 
rating of the Union des Yachts Franoiis. He has accordingly handed 
his prizes over to the Cannes Regatta Committee, who observe the 
Union rules, and the Baron's prizes are to be competed for by French 
owned yachts only. It does not, however, appear thai, the yachts 
must be French built as well as owned. 
It seems that a curious error prevails among the French regatta 
officials that the length, girth and sail area rating rule is favorable to 
British yachts because it reduces their rating below the Y.R.A. rating. 
This, however, is the mere effect of the constant divisor, and acts 
alike on ah. There is one important exception, however, and that is 
the case of a centerboard yacht like Vigilant. If no penalty is im- 
posed on the centerplate her rating would be reduced by the French 
rule enormously, and Britannia would not even have a look in with 
her. However, Mr. George Gould informed us two or three weeks ago 
that he had abandoned his intention of sending Vigilant to the Riviera 
regattas. If she did go she would probably make as clean a sweep of 
the prizes as Britannia did laat year.
