All Hound and a Foot High 
(Continued from page 76) 
Breathless we reach the top of the 
hill just in time to catch a glimpse 
of the three hounds as they rush 
pell-mell from the farther side of 
the thicket and plunge into the woods 
again twenty yards beyond. The 
rabbit is sure to swing around. In 
a few moments the dogs reappear, 
circling on the trail that leads toward 
the valley. But Br’er Rabbit has a 
good start and he has stopped short 
and doubled. No music now. The 
hounds cast back and forth, heads 
thrown right and left in quick, nerv¬ 
ous jerks, sniffing in the air, snuffling 
the ground, smelling, smelling every¬ 
where for the first keen whiff of the 
scent. 
“How-o-o-o-o-o-o how!” “Queen” 
has it! Off they rush into the woods 
once more. We can hear them work¬ 
ing along toward the head of the 
swamp. Then out they come, headed 
for us. Quick, man—quick, or you'll 
miss that rabbit! 
To this good old-fashioned rabbit 
hunt we have added another beagle 
sport borrowed from England. The 
hounds are hunted in packs, after the 
manner of English fox hunting, and 
followed either afoot or mounted. 
For a foot pack the hounds must be 
little, under 12" surely and as close 
as possible to 9", the English stand¬ 
ard for “pocket beagles,” or the hunter 
will see little of the hunt. The 
larger hounds are often hunted 
on the drag, an artificial trail made 
by dragging across the country a rab¬ 
bit skin on which are placed a few 
drops of aniseseed oil. It will take 
a good man on a good horse to keep 
in sight of the beagles over six or 
eight miles. 
Some Early History 
Beagling, both afoot and mounted, 
is becoming more and more popular, 
but the miniature “pocket beagles” 
date back to the days of good Queen 
Bess, and the larger hounds to long 
before that. Small size hounds were 
probably first bred during the reigns 
of the early Norman kings, when the 
strict game laws that protected the
