of the charges, but declined to submit any defence. It is 
ordered, That the penalty of disqualification imposed on 
Bell for one year at the meeting of May 3, '94, be and is here- 
by extended without limit. 
"Adjourned. 
The stud book committee reported: 
That John Jarvis be reprimanded for carelessness in con- 
nection with the issue of beagle pedigrees. 
That in connection with the pedigree of a Boston terrier, it 
be made a subject of inquiry as to whether the breed was 
rightly entitled to recognition. 
The committee on transportation: Mr. Webster stated 
that his only colleague, the chairman of the committee, Mr. 
Morris, had asked him to report that the petitions signed 
•had been presented to the Trunk Line Association, and that 
though there were many difficulties in the way of a favor- 
able decision, they had a promise that the matter should be 
presented to the board at an early meeting, and it was asked 
that James Mortimer be put on the committee in time for a 
full committee to appear before the Association officials at 
their next meeting. This was done. 
The Bochester Kennel Club and New Orleans Fanciers' 
Club sent in their resignations, which were accepted. 
The complaint made by the secretary of non-compliance 
with the A. K. C. rules at their last show of the Danbury 
Agricultural Society, brought out a resolution for expulsion, 
and an amendment for a caution, the latter being carried. 
It was resolved that the financial statement for 1894 be pub- 
lished in the Kennel Gazette. 
The prefix of "Doone" was allowed B. Humphrey Boberts 
and that of "Eldora" to C. Kersheller. H. F. Schellhass 
presented for James Watson, as from the committee on 
rules, a very informal recommendation, that in future those 
exhibiting at shows not given under A. K. C. rules, where 
disqualified persons have entered, shall be debarred from all 
A. K. C. shows. 
It was evident that there was no unanimity even in the 
Rules committee, and it was asked that notice be given 
through the Kennel Gazette, and the motion be made at 
the next meeting in February. 
It was decided on motion that Associates in arrears of 
dues be dropped from the roll. 
The secretary was authorized to change the club's office 
to more suitable quarters without an increase of rent, and to 
drop certain bad debts from the assets in his amounts after 
ascertaining if uncollectable. 
It was proposed that the agreement offered to the Canadian 
Kennel Club be withdrawn, and an amendment that the 
club be given ninety days to report their decision was finally 
carried. 
Meeting adjourned.

Management and dogs will also receive careful attention. 
J. E. O., Hamilton, Ont.— The black and tan terrier Broomfleld Sul- 
tan weighed about 181bs. when last exhibited. 
W. E. R., Reading, Pa.— What is the matter with my pointer bitch, 
5yrs. old; she is spayed. After a half day's hunt she lags back and 
gets very weak, I first thought it was caused by eating grass, but 
the last time she was the worst and appeared drunk and could not 
walk; but after being home an hour or two she seemed anxious to 
start hunting again. During the summer she got a spell in her head 
and her head swelled to twice its natural size until her eyes were 
nearly shut. Can you tell me the cause of her sickness? Ans. Try

Rabbit Hunting with Horses. 
' 'First catch your hare then cook him" is one of those 
aphorisms that, like a handkerchief, is never out of date. 
There are as many ways of catching the hare as there are of 
cooking it. In late discussions in Forest and Stream the 
sportsmen who delight in beagle hunting have told us that 
"ye merrie lytle hounde" transcends all other hounds in the 
pursuit of the nimble hare, others swear by the foxhound, 
and then again there are those who pin their faith 
to the nose of the common "yaller" dog. But no one has 
yet advanced the theory that one can catch the Lepws ameri- 
canus with a horse or more correctly speaking from horse- 
back. It can be done, however. At the termination of the 
National Foxhunters' meet at Olympia.Ky., and when about 
to start for home, we received a telegram from Roger Will- 
iams saying that the Iroquois Hunt Club of Lexington had 
arranged for a "rabbit" hunt on horseback, for Saturday 
afternoon, Nov. 24, in honor of the representatives of the 
sporting press who had attended the meet. These were 
Messrs. Jonn Fox, Jr., Max T. Klepper, B. Hayman and the 
writer. The rendezvous was to be at Gratz Park, just 
around the corner from Mr. Williams's house. 
Arriving at Lexington at noon we had barely time to par- 
take of luncheon with Mr. and Mrs. Williams, before the 
horses were brought to the door and mounting we soon 
found ourselves part of a company of about forty riders, 
among whom were several ladies. Leaving the city by the 
Nicholasville turnpike, we cantered along for five or six miles 
to the Bryan farm and entering a large stubble field pre- 
pared to catch "puss" in a manner entirely new to the 
visitors. Under command of Roger Williams we ranged out 
in a line, each horseman being about 10ft. from the other. 
At a given signal the imposing cavalcade proceeded across 
the field at a walk, every eye intently fixed upon the^ground 
searching for bunny's squatting form. We had scarcely 
started when a wild whoop proclaimed a find and a gentle- 
man springing from his horse nabbed a "rabbit," which had 
trusted too confidently to its similarity to a stone to escape 
detection. Bunny was given a happy dispatch and off we 
started again. A yell from one end of the line was the signal 
that another hare was afoot and we were quickly initiated 
into the novel sport, the object of which is to gallop down 
the hare. This one, however, made straight for the fence 
and escaped before we had fairly started our horses. 
(DEC. 15, 1894. 
Lining up again we worked out some more stubble and 
soon another hare was afoot near the middle of the field. 
Then ensued a wild scramble on the part of the horsemen to 
get as near to puss as possible. The hare darted hither and 
thither, followed at a gallop by the excited horsemen, who 
were doing their best to keep the game from seeking refuge 
in the fence. Such turning and twisting and halloaing and 
helter skelter excitement as ensued passes description. 
In a few minutes the "rabbit" was showing signs of distress 
and his rings were getting narrower and narrower, and 
hedged in by galloping horses on every side he was fast be- 
coming pumped out. Two or three of the nearest horsemen 
then jumped down, and making reckless dives "at the im- 
minent risk of being run over by the horses, one hunter, 
more agile than the others, fell on puss like a Yale man on 
a football, and the hare soon received the knock that ended 
his career. And the doubting Thomases no more doubted 
that rabbits could be caught from horseback without tbe 
aid of dogs. Several hares were put up in this field; but 
most of them escaped through the fences. Then we took 
to the roads again, and a ride of a mile or so would bring us 
to another suitable field, when the same exciting perform- 
ance would be gone through whenever a hare started and 
every part of the. field ridden over. Sometimes as many as 
six or seven "rabbits" would be started in one pasture and a 
dozen dead ones were soon dangling from the saddles of the 
lucky riders. A big unwieldy horse was soon out of the 
race, for it takes a small, clever and easily handled horse to 
follow the turns and jumps that the "rabbit" makes in its 
efforts to escape. 
In crossing from field to field impromptu races and the 
taking of a fence and a water jump now and then added to 
the enjoyment of the afternoon's sport. The gloaming 
found us about ten miles from the city — tired, but delighted 
with our new experience, and grateful to the ladies and gen- 
tlemen of the Iroquois Hunt Club who had afforded us so 
much enjoyment. H. W. L.

Ch. Frank Forest vs. Ch. Royal Krueger. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
In your issue of Nov. 24 1 notice an article written by you 
in which you quote from a letter received from my friend 
Mr. C. S.Wixom of Covert, N. Y. 
In this letter it appears that Mr. W. states as a fact that 
champion Royal Krueger has sired Nibs, champion Ava W., 
Stormy, Ilwaco and Laddie, which lot of five constitute more 
field trial winners than have been sired by any other beagle. 
A casual search of the records does not disprove this state- 
ment as I find that champion Frank Forest has sired only 
four. They are Clyde, June Rose, Gypsey Forest and 
Blanche. So far champion Royal Krueger has done the 
most work as to numbers, but the grade of work is very 
much in Frank Forest's favor. The record shows that Royal 
Krueger, together with five of his get, has won four first 
prizes and two second prizes with thirty-one competitors in 
the various classes. It also shows that Frank Forest, together 
with four of his get, won six first prizes, three second prizes 
and two third prizes, with seventy-eight competitors. The 
totals of competitors are given approximately, as I was gov- 
erned by memory only, so there may have been a few dogs 
more or less on either side. 
Now, I believe, and I think the public does, that the Hor- 
nell-Harmony Kennel has field trial as well as bench show 
winners, and thus far has bred and furnished to lovers of 
good beagles a very fair proportion of the whole, but in order 
that Mr. Wixom and myself and the public may know the 
relative merits between Royal Krueger and Frank Forest as 
sires of working dogs, I hereby challenge Mr. Wixom to the. 
following practical test. 
Providing that consent of present owners of aforesaid dogs 
can be secured, I will run Frank Forest and bis get men- 
tioned as a pack against Royal Krueger and his get men- 
tioned as a pack, for fun, expenses or for an amount not to 
exceed $500 The selection of time, ground, judges and other 
conditions and details to be mutually agreed upon or left to 
arbitrators. The test to take place on neutral ground and 
not later than Jan. 1 next, are the only conditions which I 
exact. 
I siucerely trust that neither Mr. Wixom nor any one else 
will feel or believe that this is in any sense an outcome of 
any feeling as between Mr. W. and myself, for we always 
have been, and I sincerely hope are now, the warmest of 
friends. On perusal of the article first mentioned I simply 
felt that Mr. W. made rather a broad statement, however 
true, and it has aroused that small portion of fluid matter 
under my skin sometimes termed "sporting blood."

Coursing the Wolf. 
Incredulous persons are Teady to doubt if a timber wolf 
can be run down, but we have in the latest issue of the Hal- 
lock (Minn.) Enterprise this authentic and trustworthy 
declaration that "While coming in on horseback Wednesday, 
Napoleon Jerome saw a wolf and chased him for over two 
miles, when he overtook him and killed him with a stick." 
Jerome is a half-breed Indian, educated at Boniface, Winni- 
peg, and a most excellent hunter. The wolf must have been 
badly "tuckered" to have succumbed to a stick.

HUNTING AND COURSING NOTES. 
The following paragraphs were crowded out of our ac- 
count of the National Fox Hunting Association meet: 
The Strode's Valley Hunt Club — which, by the way, can 
put down a very good pack on a show bench — held open house 
at the hotel. They occupied a large room, and posted a 
"welcome" placard on the door and the latchstring hung 
underneath. The club is composed of representative business 
men of Winchester, Ky., a town about thirty miles from 
Olympia, and they are doing good work for the foxhound of 
the South. 
■ • • • 
About half a mile from the Olympian Hotel, situated at 
the foot of the hills, nestles a cosy hunting lodge that is kept 
up by sportsmen from Mt. Sterling, consisting of Col. A. W. 
Hamilton, A. M. Bedford, Howard Anderson, J. W. Chenault, 
J. W. Gatewood, John King, J. Will Clay and Capt. Jack 
Stewart. Gen. Gentry felt that he would like to entertain 
some people, so the campers tendered him the use of the cot- 
tage for this laudable purpose. The lucky ones who partici- 
pated were Mrs. H. P. Thomson, Mrs. Silas Evans, Mrs. E, 
W. Herr, the Misses Carrie Lee Hathaway, Lady Prewitt, 
Mayme Robinson, and Messrs. J ohn Fox, Jr. , Max T. Klep- 
per, A. B. F. Kinney, Basil Hayman, H. W. Lacy and Dr. B. 
W. McClure. To quote Mrs. Herr, "With the grace of man- 
ner that is characteristic of them, Gen. Gentry and the hosts 
of the cottage received their guests, who gave themselves up 
in joyous surrender to the occasion and a delightful accept- 
ance of all it afforded;" and this was wild turkey, which the 
General had shot with a — well, we won't give it away, and 
mountain pig, which Newton Williams, the cook, had pre- 
pared so deliciously. Col. Hamilton and Capt. Jack served 
us in such clever fashion, that one way of earning a living is 
ever open to them if they need it. Seasoned with merry jest 
and quip, the bounteous repast could not fail to please, and 
happy speeches from Gen. Gentry, Col, Hamilton and Mr. 
Fox, who responded for the press, rounded off an entertain- 
ment that was as unique as it was unexpected.
