Beagles (Dogs). 8o The Beagle in America classes would be continued as one of the club's fixed events, assures us that the question is in safe hands for the interest of the breed. Up to the year 1912 beagle field trial events had always been held on cottontail rabbits, although occasionally at the trials of the New England club hare had been found and used. Because of heats in the field trials being usually of the duration of per- haps half an hour's average, there was considerable discussion. F. T. CH. STORM as to whether such tests afforded a satisfactory demonstration of a dog's ability from the standpoint of the endurance required for practical field work, and the contention was advanced by many hare hunters that the field trial beagle was to be found lacking, generally, in those requirements. Owners of beagles in the country where hare were found in numbers, and who were familiar with the ability of the field trial beagle to acquit itself creditably upon any kind of game, became restive under such criticisms, and in 1912 we find the Empire Beagle Club organized, and in 1914 the Northern Hare.
