ported from the Royal Rock Pack
in England by Arnold. Another
important importation was made by
Kernochan in 1896. In 1888 the
National Beagle Club was formed
and held field trial in its first
year. Not many lears later, the
club bought a large tract of land
near Aldie, Va, and from that day
to this, annual field trials have
been held on their own grounds.
DR.. Snyder is one of the few char
ter members of the organization.
He remembers the Aldie grounds
when they were alive with rabbits
and mourns the present poor supply.
While by far the largest part of
existing beagles are owned by in
dividuals and are hunted or merely
kept for pets as individuals, there
are great many packs throughout
the country, particularly in the
East. There are 40 field trial clubs
licensed by the American Kennel
Club. and there are 20 packs of IL
couples or more recorded with the
National Beagle Club. The regalia
for beagling is just as rigidly pre-
scribed as is that for formal fox
hunting. The swankier hunt clubs
of the eastern States, when they
turn out in full array, present as
picturesque and tuneful a sight as
any recorded.

1t is this adaptability that has
added a fourth function to his
already crowded schedule. He stands
sixth in the list Of 108 dogs in
registrations in the American Ken
mel Club which speaks Of a tre-
mendous popularity as a pet. His
handy size, short coat, ruggedness,
naturalness and merry manners
make him a natural for this role
as well as the others.
The modern beagle owes his typi-
ness and uniformity to the efforts
Of few men. In England, Parson
Honeywood In the middle of the
10th century assembled a good, uni
form pack which gave good sport.
His pack is immortalized in the
print of "The Merry Beaglers," as
well known in this country as in
England. In this country, until
about 1870, there were many little
rabbit hounds in the southern
States which were we'll known for
good field work but were anything
but handsome.
In 1860 Gen. Rowett of Carlins-
vile, ILL.,, imported a number OF
beagles from England. This really
started American hounds on the
way to their present perfection. In
1880, a number of dogs were i'm

Show Notes

Fourteen speciality clubs are max
ing the classes at the North West
chester Kennel Club show at
Katonah, N. Y, next Saturday, their
speciality shows for the year. In ad-
dition, three clubs are adding to the
already generous prize money and
every indication points to spectac-
ularly successful show. william p.

Josef Weber is judging the
obedience test classes, assuring q

sport. An exhibition Of hound packs
will be judged by A. E. Hurd.
The Katonah show will be fol-
lowed on Sunday by the Longshore
Kennel Club fixture at Westport,
Conn. This is another beautifully
staged affair on the grounds Of the
Longshore Beach and Country Club
on Long Island Sound. The two
shows together should provide a
real vacation in themselves.

This deal was played in a recent
duplicate game with q Washington
team contending against a foursome
from Baltimore. The bidding was
the same by both teams when the
board was in play between them.
On the Washington team, E. A. Per-
kins and DR.. E. B. Conolly sat, re-
spectively North and South, with
DR.. Conolly playing the hand. Roy
Thurtell and Mr.. Roth defended
when the Baltimore team made the
same bid of six clubs. The WASH
ington team made the contract for
plus score of 1,370. while the Balti-
moreans lost for a similar minus
score.
With proper defense the contract
should have been set and the local
players succeeded in doing so, but
the Baltimore players slipped on
one play which enabled their op-
ponents to win. In each case West
led his singleton two of hearts. The
ace won in dummy and the lead
Of the ace and king of diamonds
enabled South to discard his two
losing hearts. The lead of a third
low diamond was covered by East
with the queen and South trumped.
He next laid down the king of clubs.
West held the ace and upon his
action depended the question of
whether the declarer would be set
or make his contract. If he won
the trick and led his remaining
diamond while his partner yet had
trump he could set the contract,
for although South would overtrump
him, he would then have no way
to dispose of losing spade, for
he had only one entry into the
dummy and another lead Of dia-
monds would be trumped by West.
If West passed the first lead of

The greatest danger from
Communism in the Z niteo
States. as Mr.. Gitlow appears 10
see ii. is not through the activi-
ties Of the party leaders. Inc
danger. he thinks. is in the pub
fishing field: among scenario
writers at Hollywood, and the
general run Of writers among
college teachers, students, and
ministers of all denominations.
Church organizations and some
of the political discussion clubs
and labor organizations are cred
tied with giving aid and comfort
to the Communist movement.
Among the most interesting
chapters in Mr.. Gitlow's book
are those dealing with dissen-
sion in the Communist ranks.
In the light of what has just
happened to Earl Browder, gen.
eral secretary of the party, 1t
is easy to believe that most of
the attention, siren tn and
thought of the Communist lead
ers is being used to fight each
other. 1t is difficult to under
stand how the conviction of Mr..
Browder could have been brought
about without some information
from inside the party councils.
The impression one gets is that
the comrades" are so busy with
their own affairs that they can't
take time for much effective
work against the United States
government.
Though 1t is getting a good
deal of attention, there really
is nothing new in MIR. Gitlow's
book. Thoughtful persons will
not be surprised that after ten
years experience the author is
disappointed in the working
out of the Communist theory.
As theory 1t is beautiful, but
from the beginning of time 1t
has not been much of a success
In practice.
The theory had been tried and
found wanting long before the
Ma = SITS began its propaganda.
Adam and Eve began life under
a Communist sort of existence,
but human nature was too much
for it and it blew up. Cain and
Abel also were Communists, and
see what happened to them. The
beautiful theory just doesn't
seem to fit where mortals are
concerned.
