plished much for the true beagle, as 
they consider no entries, but pure bred 
beagles, 15 inches or under in height. 
Beagles are divided into 13 inches or 
under, and 15 inches or under, 15 inches, 
measured at the shoulder, being the out- 
side height allowed for a beagle. This 
well-defined standard, and the strictly 
adhered-to rule of measuring all dogs 
before their entrance into any class by 
the judges, prevents any attempt to 
slip in anything larger, thus giving all 
competitors in a class a like chance. 
HE finest and best sportsmen I have 
found, with few exceptions, are 
among beagle fanciers and beagle club 
members, who follow the game for. the 
love of the sport. 
Here is a part of the following the 
beagle has in the way of permanent 
organizations and clubs: The National 
Beagle Club of America, which is com- 
prised of the finest as well as the 
wealthiest body of men in any one or- 
ganization, in this country. They own 
and maintain a permanent field trial 
grounds, for the holding of annual field 
trials and bench shows for the beagle 
hound exclusively, at Aldie, Virginia, 
a few miles out of Washington, D. C. 
The Empire Beagle Club (The Em- 
pire State—New York) which has a 
permanent field trial grounds of 3,000 
acres on the shores of Saratoga Lake, 
which is upon the forest preserve of 
Thomas C. Luther, the famous host of 
the White Sulphur Hotel, on the shore 
of Saratoga Lake and which is the 
headquarters of this club. 
The New England Beagle Club, which 
holds its trials at Monterey, Mass., 
and than which no finer class of sports- 
men can be found anywhere. 
The New Jersey Beagle Club, which 
holds its annual trials at Gladstone, 
N. J., and which holds within its ranks 
as members some few nationally known 
beagilers, one I call to mind most clearly 
is no less a personage than Harry M. 
Vosburg, of Roseland, N. J. 
HE Western Beagle Club, whose an- 
nual trials are held at Bass Lake, 
Indiana, comprises some of the best citi- 
zens in the west, such as W. A. Powel, 
H. W. Prentice, Burton and Shuster. 
The Sportsman’s Beagle Club holds 
its annual field trial at Westchester, Pa. 
The Central Beagle Club holds its an- 
nual field trials at Saxonburg, Pa. 
The Buckeye Beagle Club holds its 
annual field trials at New Philadelphia, 
Ohio. 
The Eastern Beagle Club holds its an- 
nual field trials at Newark, Delaware. 
The Hawkeye Beagle Club holds its 
annual field trials at places announced. 
There is the Central Beagle Club, the 
Wolverine Beagle Club, Highland 
Beagle Club, and Northern Hare Beagle 
Club, etc., ete. 
{dvertisers mention Forest and Stream. 
The St. Louis Beagle Club organized 
in 1921 and is comprised of the best - 
citizens of that section of the country; 
they are heart and soul for the beagle 
and have made great strides toward the 
betterment of the sport. 
The object of these clubs is to en- 
courage breeding and to promote the 
improvement of the beagle; to encour- 
age and participate in beagle field trials 
and bench shows; and to assist in pro- — 
tection against loss by theft of beagle 
hounds and thus foster and encourage 
a spirit of good-fellowship and sports- 
manship. 
These show and field trials are held 
under the license of the American Ken- 
nel Club and every entry must have 
been registered or eligible (listed) be- 
fore he can be shown, or participate in 
any of the events. 
The most preferred beagle is one 
thirteen to fourteen inches and weigh- | 
ing from fifteen to twenty pounds. In 
color he may be most anything as color 
has nothing to do with a beagle. Asa 
matter of preference, and in this nature 
has been extremely kind, black, white- 
and tan predominate. Some breed for 
one marking or set of markings an- 
other for other sets of markings. Some 
dogs have black blankets, tan heads, 
white belly and feet; others have black 
saddles or broken black spots upon the 
back or sides, tan heads with white blaze 
and tan and white legs, and white 
underneath. Others are broken spotted 
and some heavily ticked. 
HERE are various strains of breed- 
ing in this country and England 
and they have been intermixed a great 
deal, yet one versed in the intelligent 
breeding of beagles can with few ex- 
ceptions determine the strain of breed- 
ing from its markings, style and type. 
Another thing that has impressed me 
often, is the voice of the beagle. When 
they are right there is nothing to com- 
pare to the melody unless its our grand 
opera stars, and strange as it may

seem, you very seldom if at all find two — 
beagles with exactly the same voice. 
You may take out as many as twenty 
beagles in a pack, start your game and 
as each beagle “harks in” you can dis- 
tinguish each of your dogs by his voice. 
Fellow beaglers with whom I have 
hunted are able to distinguish their own 
dogs and I mine, when they have been 
put down together. 
You are able to distinguish who is © 
doing the driving, who is in the lead, 
who is doing the best work and similar 
things although you may be a half mile ‘ 
away and out of sight. 
Field trial judges are keen to de- 
termine voices and can quickly, as they — 
often see the dogs for the first time, dis- — 
tinguish the dogs by their voices, when 
out of their sight in a race. 
Tt will identify you.
