. THE BEAGLE HOUND, "BOWMAN (13,716). The Property of H. Verner Jamieson, Esq., Forest Beagle Kennels, Melrose, Mass. pleasure in obtaining it, the Beagle is a most helpful adjunct to the sportsman's outfit. Their size, keenness of scent, and musical note when trailing, the great endurance and staying qualities making them able to cope with the most astute bunny. Beagles were allowed to deteriorate in this respect, and although many doubdess were used in the field, nevertheless many bench winners were notoriously deficient m field qualities. This led to two types, the field and bench-show Beagle. The latter sometimes had the former's qualities and vice versa. But the combination of the two in one dog was the marked exception to the rule. But the advent of field trials, held under the auspices of the National Beagle Club in 1890, clearly demonstrated the hunting qualities of these litde hounds, and led breeders to pause and think, and finally come to the wise conclusion that the field and bench Beagles might be combined, and this in the near future will be accomplished.
