New Orleans, La., Jan. 28. — ^The Southern Beagle 
Club will hold its second annual field trials at Centreville, 
Miss., on the I. C. Railroad, during the week beginning 
Feb. 22. We hope that beagle men everywhere will make 
entries. : The fee is only $5. Southern fanciers of the 
little hound are especially urged to do so. They should 
also come forward and join the only organization which 
affords any opportunity to encourage the fancy of their 
favorite dog in this part of the country. Surely $3 a

year, the membership fee, is not a heavy tax on any in- 
dividual who loves and wishes to advance the cult of the 
beagle. 
There will be four classes at these trials: A Derby for 
dogs and bitches 13 inches and under, and one for dogs 
and bitches froni 13 inches to 15 inches; an All-Age Class 
for dogs and -bitches 13 inches and under, and one for 
dogs and bitches from 13 to 15 inches. Entry blanks 
can be had of the secretary.

When the committeemen came over, the time of 
making the light was found to be 4:45, or ih. 48m.

though we needed all of it in view of the running and 
reaching on the last half of the course, sixty-three 
miles, with only eleven miles _of windward work. The 
Helene came in with a split jib. 
We had breakfast aboard and then went ashore for 
a freshwater swim, a sleep, and a day's relaxation. 
First, however, we gave the mainsail a good furl, as 
it was well dried out, dressed ship with signal flags, 
and hauled down the club flag from the mast head.

All enjoyed the day ashore at the excellent Haleiwa 
hotel. Times were telephoned to town, and the after- 
noon train brought back a short account of the first 
leg in the afternoon papers. The referee's wife and 
sister-in-law came down in a state of enthusiasm and 
helped to enliven the day. With them came the planta- 
tion manager who, for a decided resemblance to the 
chief executive of the natjoa, is dqbbed ilodsevelt in 
lieu of his christened riaitie, and shall be calfed "Teddy"

bulwarks, and all had a sloppy time of it, the skipper 
having no one to relieve him at his helm, his trick 
being all the harder by the use of a tiller instead of a 
wheel. Dinner over with healths in bubbling wine, a 
general talk kept us all up on the wide verandahs later 
than we meant to stay. At last we parted for the night, 
the Gladys and Helene crews rowing off to their yachts 
for the night while the Paloma was left in charge of 
one man. Before saying good-night the regatta com- 
mittee handed out instructions 'for the start, which was 
arranged for seven or as soon thereafter as two skip- 
pers might agree as to the breeze which was reported 
light in the early morning. On their agreement, a gun 
was to be fired from the . Gladys, time to be taken 
five minutes later, all yachts to be at anchor at gunfire. 
We were u^ at five, after a short night, the sea in 
the tiny harbor keeping the Gladys rolling all night. 
We shifted the spinnaker boom to the port side, over- 
hauled everything, brought lip on the anchor, threw off 
gaskets, had breakfast, and were ready by seven, sharp. 
There was breeze enough for the Gladys to work out, 
but the others kept us waiting until 7:41 before gun- 
fire, and then we rushed at it. Up came the hook, 
mainsail and jib, and round we came in our own length 
just 8s, behind the Paloma. The Helene was too close 
to the reef to'swing as we did and finally fell in irons, 
having to drop anchor afresh before she got a start, 
7m. behind time. The Paloma went out of the en- 
trance fifty yards ahead, but we were soon up to her 
and skirting the reef, passed to windward of her in- 
side of 3m. To our joy the steady wind promised to 
be easterly rather than the regular northwest trade, which

meant a beat rather than a reach along the windward 
side, and greatly helped our chances. La Paloma tried 
a pointing match with us and got to pitching, making 
more leeway than "headway, so that the Helene, stand- 
ing up almost as well as the Gladys, crossed the 
Paloma's bOws within the half hour, and got well to 
windward of her,- ready for a ten mile beat to Kahuku 
Point. It looked as if the Helene was going to be 
our medicine, but; luck was against her. Her damaged 
jib split once more, and she lost a man overboard 
while trying to secure it. The combination proved too 
much of a handicap, for her skipper and he put back 
into Waialua, giving up the race. 
Then the commodore changed his pinching tactics 
and gave the Paloma a rapfull; but two hours from 
the start we had her three miles astern and to leeward 
of us. The coast we were passing proved a perpetual 
delight. ■ The mountains, sloping upward from the lee- 
ward side of the islands here, fall sheer to a narrow 
strip of level land in vast precipices, perpendicular, yet ; 
verdure clad, their summits pinnacled in jagged peaks 
that suggested, arnid the alternating mists and sun- 
shine, an imaginative landscape by Dore. Here an in- 
viting valley opened with rainbow haunted' vistas of 
sparkling river and-, sun kissed slopes, down the sid^i 
of which chase sp,'a;^kling waterfalls. , There a spur raii

The long Pacific surges coming unchecked from the 
northland, broke in long rollers spume heralded. Now 
and then a heavy rain squall blotted out the land from 
view or, bringing wind with the downpour, heeled 
over the yacht to the garboard strake. We spared the 
staunch little craft nothing as we bucked into the 
steadily strengthening breeze, and with short tacks, 
seaward we devoured the miles, leaving the Paloma 
steadily behind. The steering was delicate, and the 
Gladys willing but impetuous. The sea was running 
very high, and the slightest inattention threw off the 
bows from the course. Promptness in catching, or

rather anticipating her, was necessary to prevent her 
starting on a swing. Running seaward she climbed 
the big combers like a duck sinking in the hollows, and 
rushing up the slopes without a moment's hesitation. 
The giant took the wheel after a while, and the crew,
