The day was a beautiful one—warm, bright, and clear, and 
should have drawn out more riflemen. Our old friend, 
Sketch, who, owing to pressing business mixed with a 
general soreness of body and soul, caused on one hand by 
a backward shooting guu, and on tbe other by disgust at 
not being able to learn his “Spitz" to shoot off hand (Mil¬

The Willett and Borgans Match.— Extraordinary 
Jf ijic Shooting. —Mr. F. P. Le Breton, of the National 
Guard Shooting Club of San Francisco, lias kindly sent 
us the scores of some remarkable matches recently shot 
between Messrs. Chas. Burgans and E. II. Willett, of that 
club, with photographs of the competitors and diagrams 
of the targets. We say that the shooting is remarkable, 
for it is really most creditable to the contestants, and at 
the same time shows a parity of excellence in marksman- 
Bhip that repeated tests could not determine. The history 
of tbe match is this;—O.tt March 12th. in a match between 
the "Three Charlies”—Burgans, Nash, and Le Breton—on 
the otic side, and Willett, Carson and flentsi ou the other, 
the two principals, as above, made each 164 points, out of 
a possible 200 points, 40 shots at 200 yards. In a subse¬ 
quent match, March 26th, 40 shots, same distance, the 
“Three Charlies” shooting against Messrs Willett, Harris, 
and Wright, the same gentlemen tied again on 162. This 
led to the match of April 16th, in which the merits of 
Messrs. Burgans and Willets Bliould bo tested independ¬ 
ently, the conditions being 50 shots at 200 yards, for $100 
a side, five shots more to decide a lie. The following score 
shows the results, with ties iu each case, and stakes drawn; 
the wind blowing very strong during the shooting:—

Conlin’s Gallery. —This favorite resort of riflemen 
was rc-opened on Tuesday evening. Mr. Conlin, iu his 
address to his friends, says:— 
"The impetus given to shooting in America by the late 
successes of our national team in the old country, coupled 
with the desire on my part to fully accommodate tbe in¬ 
creasing amount of business, lias enabled me, through very 
elaborate and extenssve alterations, to extend the capacity 
of my gallery to at least triple its former dimensions, and 
I can safely affirm that t now have tile most capacious gal- 
eiy in existence, comprising three separate galleries, with 
six perfect and distinct ranges.” 
Mr. CouliU lias also one of the finest collections of fire¬ 
arms in the country, aud he has made arrangements to 
have the latest atlvices from Creedmoor received by tele¬ 
graph and posted in the gallery.

FI ELD TRIAL DERBY. 
T HIS event, held under the auspices of theEnglish Ken¬ 
nel Club was decided on the 4th and Dili inst., at Horse- 
heath, Cambridgeshire. Our English exchanges went to 
press before the second day’s proceedings had been brought 
to a close, so that we have particulars only of the princi¬ 
pal event, the Field Trial Derby for pointers and settur 
puppies of 1875, the winner to receive £50, the second 
£20, and the third and fourth £10 each. Of one hundred 
and two entries a field of fourteen appeared to try conclu¬ 
sions, the puppies being drawn in pairs as at coursing 
meetings. The first pair put down were Mr. Lort’s Glen 
and Lord Downed Young Sam, the latter the winner of 
the puppy stakes a few days before at Shrewsbury. Yonng 
Sam won all through in the trial, making three successive 
points and dropping well to wing. Glen is by the celebra¬ 
ted Ranger, but he had not had the advantage of Arm¬ 
strong’s splendid breaking. In the next trial Mr. Mac- 
doua’s Magnet lost by making two false points, Mr Barclay 
Field’s Belmont winning. The next brace were both 
pointers and a long and uneventful trial followed without 
either of the dogs distinguishing themselves greatly. Mr. 
Price’s Whim ultimately winning. One of the most inter¬ 
esting trials was that between Lord Downe’s Dan (the ulti¬ 
mate winner) by Mr. Llewellin’s Sam, and Mr. Bower’s 
Blue Bell III, by Mr. Laverack’s Blue Prince. Regarding 
this trial the Field says:— 
“Mr. Bower’s pretty little mottled Laverack Blue Bell, 
when down with Lord Downe’s Dan, proved unsteady in 
backing, when her companion found, though she later on 
stood in perfect form to a single bird, but this was vitiated 
by a subsequent false point, whilst Dan had gone over the 
hedge. Armstrong’s dog then pegged another lot, and 
looked like winning the blue ribbon, which might have 
been gathered by ihe flower of Chester if better broken. 
As it was, the judges could but give their verdict iu the 
heat for the white dog.” 
“In running oil the ties pointers were paired with 
pointers and setters with setters. The final Lea', between 
Whim, Mr. Price’s pointer bitch, and the last winner (Dan) 
proved and interesting one, and aroused the energy of the 
flagging field. Some birds, which had run forward, rose 
fropi the bare ground ou the top of a hill, and then Whim 
found splendidly, standing in relief on the brow. We then 
walked a considerable distance past a hedgerow, where the 
nightingales were singing divinely, and then Whim cut her 
own throat by flushing badly a brace of birds shcyfiiould 
have found, and as Dan luckily hit off birds twice, lie was 
pronounced the final and absolute winner.” 
The summarv is as follows:—

are by Llewellin’s champion Prince out of Bill II. They

Warts in a Dogs Mouth.—A correspondent, F. H. II. , 
writes from Boston: “In your May I8tb number, I notice 
an article in relation to ‘Warts in a Dogs Mouth.’ 1 lutd a 
pointer afflicted with that trouble, how long lie had been 
so I did not know, but ou opening his mouth one day, I 
found it literally covered with them. 1 administered 
Homeopathic ‘RUus Tox,' five drops, three or four times a 
day, and within tour days they had entirely disappeared 
and did not return. I have uo doubt your correspondent 
would find immediate relief for liis dog if he should apply 
this Temedy,” _ _ 
—A consignment of a pair of very handsome red Irish 
puppies, dog and hitch, reached our office last week, being 
the property of Mr. N. Saltus, and sent to us for delivery. 
Both arc by riunkett out Of Diffeudoi'per’s Belle, she by 
Saltus’ Daslr, winner of first prize at Watertown, and 
highly commended in champion class at Springfield, 1876. 
Their grand dam was Dr. Strachan’s Belle, impelled from 
the Duke of Devonshire’s kennels. 
—Mr. Walter Humphreys, who now has charge of Ham¬ 
ilton Thompson’s kennel, writes us that Thompson's red 
setter Belle lias visited Mr. George J. Barmore’s Jack, 
belter known, perhaps, as Robinson’s Jack. 
Mancie.— A correspondent writes from Washington, D. 
C., that Liq. Sulph Calcium is the best remedy for mange. 
Three or four applications used twice a day will, he says, 
cure any case. ^ _ _ 
—The well-lyiown setter, 8am, better known as Reid’s 
Sam, one of the Lavcracks by Old Blue Dadi out of Moll,
