How the New York Delegation Started. —Our ever¬ 
green friend Col. Skinner, of Turf Field anil Farm, is in¬ 
imitable—we had almost called him unique—in his de¬ 
scriptions. Witness the following graphic account ot the 
scene which attended the departure from this office of the 
delegation to Springfield last week:— 
“New Yoke at this Springfield Bench Show.— On 
Tuesday we witnessed the departure of the New York con 
tiugent of sportsmen for the great exhibition at Springfield. 
Quite a detachment left the oflice of the Forest and 
Stream, under the leadership of the ancient Squire and 
Mr. Tileston, and they created a great sensation, mounted 
on one of French’s best coaches, the interior of which was 
filled with a barking, howling pack of setters and pointers, 
all of the bluest blood and each bound to carry oil the 
highest prijte. A stout, red nosed Teuton, with inexhaust¬ 
ible lungs, enlivened the march with airs upon the keyed 
bugle, to which the bowlings of the imprisoned dogstui 
nished a powerful if not a strictly musical chorus. The 
patriarchal Squire Smith sal enthroned, as it were, upon 
the ‘imperial’ of the coach, like a Roman conquerer on a 
triumphal car. Clear and sharp above the tempest of 
sound produced by the Dutchman's bugle and the bowling 
of the dogs, could be heard his imperious mandates to his 
canine pupils to ‘Shut up!’ 'Down charge!' ‘Take heed!’ 
but it must be confessed that, demoralized by the motion 
of the coach, the best trained pointers and setters bowled 
and barked and fought, and did other unmentionable 
things, in dettauce of the 8quire.and their owners, who 
joined their efforts to his in the attempt to keep the peace. 
The passage of a coach so laden through Broadway gave 
rise to much speculation. Those who heard the noise with¬ 
out seeing the dogs fancied the coach was laden with dan¬ 
gerous lunatics being conveyed to some asylum; others 
that it was a sort of pandemonium on wheels; and one be¬ 
nevolent old gentleman suggested that the coach was filled 
with sick dogs sent out for an airing under the auspices of 
the great humanitarian, Mr. Bergh. Among tbe setters 
and pointers we recognized Mr. Theo. Morford’s beautiful 
orange and white pair. May and Don, botli by his famous 
Joe, and Don out of a Giliicrsieeve bitch, and Squire Smith 
had a fine black and tan Cordon of Belmont stock. Von 
Lengerkehad a handsome black, white aDd tan, imported 
by the revered Mr. Berg, and Tileston entered a beautiful 
black and tun bitch from Mr. Munu’s kennel, derived orig¬ 
inally from the Duke of Devonshire's stock. We noticed 
also two beautiful black pointers of tbe very highest qual¬ 
ity, one of them by Waddell’s Phil. We doubt whether 
the men or the dogs which were driven away from the 
Forest and Stream: office on Tuesday last will be matched 
at Springfield.’’ 
That the Colonel was very nearly right may he gathered 
from the fact that six ont of the eight dogs in the coach 
■were prize winners, including four “firsts.” 
—The imported red Irish setter Juno, belonging to Mr. 
Tbos. Adcock, of Providence, whelped 14 pups on tbe 30th 
inst., the sexes being eqnily divided, sired by Plunkett, and 
all resembling him in being all red with the exception of a 
small star in tbe forehead. 
Clumbers with a Pedigree. —Our Montreal correspon¬ 
dent, Standard, writes:—“I was in Keiitville, N. S„ a few 
days ago and saw those clumber spaniels of B. 8., spoken 
of in your issue of April 61 h. They are good bred dogs, 
wiih a pedigree as long as-, Well I have seen some long 
pedigrees before, but they all pale before those of Ben 
Smith’s dogs. Whew! but they are lengthy—clean back 
beyond old Queen Elizabeth’s time.” 
—It is not true, as reported, that a well-known young 
gentleman of New York “judged” the coach dogs by 
counting the spots on each. 
—There was “bark" euough in Springfield last week to 
start a first-class tan-yard, 
§he gifle, 
Conlin’s Gallery.— The rifle tournament which has 
been open for some six weeks past at this gallery, to raise a 
sum sufficient to meet tbe expenses of a summer excursion 
of the St. John’s Guild has proved a complete success. 
Five hundred tickets have been sold at Jgl each, and of 
those sold 481 were shot off at the gallery, The shooting 
was done at the 110 foot range wit a 22-ealibrc Ballard Title 
off hand, ten shots per target at ready measurement largets, 
by which the distance of each shot from the centre of the 
bull’s-eye could be determined with tbe greatest accuracy. 
The shooting, as a whole, showed the finest aggregate of 
close shooting which gallery records can show. The I’ol 
lowing are a few of the leading targets, the figures giving 
the aggregate divergence of the ten shots from the bull’s 
eye centre in inches and fractions:

—A correspondent writes from Minnesota:—“One of 
your Wyoming correspondents (and by the way where do 
you not. have readers and correspondents) ? complains that 
his Winchester rifle misses fire, and asks why. The trouble 
may be in the cartridges, if rim fire more particularly, but 
if Ills rifle is of the old model, it is more than likely that 
the plunger or striking pin has got foul and. caked with 
dirt and oil. A rifle of this make, owned by a friend, 
acted in this way last fall. He took it to a gun smith who. 
cleaned it thoroughly, and it has not missed fire since-”

This Club will soon be able to commence tbeir new house, 
as one of its members has kindly offered to take up all the 
stock not yet subscribed (2,000), if the club would make it.

meeting of the stockholders, the offer was accepted. In 
the pigeon match last week between M. J, H. Adrien and 
M. Le Breton, the former was victorious. U tissue.
