The specimen is a good one, and no player who is deceived by a growth of this kind need feel the smallest depression. It is the kind of thing that might happen to anyone.
A young specimen, darker than dark brindle, has, I believe, never been scored.
E.
IS AN ECCLESIASTICAL-KING-BEAVER.
Rare in general, there are frequently to be found in Cathedral cities large coveys, not very strong on the wing.
Local rules should be consulted as to the scoring. Fine specimens count at least three points.
I myself, recently, claimed an Ecclesiastical-King, in a country town, and was awarded two games for it; a well-known local rarity of which the place is justly proud.
It was a superb specimen, in good coat, a darkish brindle, and in official robes.
