Yai. cable Information. — .1 New Work on the Dog. — 

 From an examination of the proof sheets of Mr. Jltilloeks' 

 forthcoming book, entitled the SfORTStfAS's Gazetteri: ami 

 (Ihxeiim, Genu-:, we are eonvineed and feel bound to assert 

 that that portion relating to the " Caw and Training of Dogs; 

 Ihrir Diseases and Remedies!' will be perhaps the most useful to 

 the sportsman and the most, valued. With that thoroughness, 

 care, accuracy, and completeness which characterize all Mr. 

 1 hillock's literary ami editorial efforts, he has enlisted Ihe aid 

 of eminent physicians and physicists who are thoroughly 

 versed in canine thereapeulics and training j and the result is 

 shown in a work of instruction which must supersede all old 

 and long time standard books on the dog, now rendered obso- 

 lete by modern study and information. That portion of the 

 work relating to " The Care, Training and Management of 

 Dogs" comprises the following sub-divisions, namely: — 



Choosing a Dog : the Kenuel ; Feeding; Feeding Puppies ; 

 Age: Muzzling Dogs: Docking Tails; Spaying: Breaking 

 Dogs: Backing; Retrieving: Flushing; Baking: the Puzzle 

 IV a : Ihe Force Collar r^tpparent Want, of Nose: Gun Shy- 

 ness : Wide Banging: the Check Cord: the Whip— its Use 

 and Abuse; Breeding: Throwing Back: Transmissible 

 Faults, Defects, Imperfections, and Diseases; In-breeding; 

 Breeding at Puberty j Breeding for Kind : Plurality of Sires. 



The chapters on Canine Therapeutics are equally full, intel- 

 ligent, and important, to the student and breeder, It is sub- 

 divided as follows: — 



Thread Worms; Tape Worms— three varieties; Inflamma- 

 tion of the Bowels; Diarehcea and Dysentery : Colic ; In 

 flamed Eyes; Oplbalniitis; Cataract: Shedding Hair: Mange; 

 Scabies;" Bing Worm ; Alteration of S e ere lions : Purpura 

 Caninu; Pneumonia ; Distemper; Lung Fever; Splenic 

 Fever; Epilepsy; Convulsions; Chorea: Hydrophobia; 

 tanker; Coughs ; Hernia: Tumors; Bronohoceie ; Vermin; 

 Tender i'i et ; Gnawing the Feel ; Emetics ; Disinfectants; 

 Sevcutv-one Prescriptions and Formulas; Scale of Doses of 

 Dogs of Different Ages. 



The portion of the Gazetteer devoted to dogs alone com- 

 prises one hundred and twenty-five pages. 



In Mr. Hallock's book are given the latest researches in 

 pathology, and the. endeavor has been made to bring the treat-, 

 men i up to a level with the present-progress of medicine. All 

 existing works on diseases of the dog are behind the times. 

 Maybew is of no value whatever. His modes of treatment 

 .and deductions arc things of more than a century since, and 

 he shows himself to be completely ignorant of the first prin- 

 ciples of pathology. Yoiuttt. and Blaine are every way his 

 superiors, and the Conner is first. No progress seems lo have 

 been made in veterinary science as applied to canines for the 

 last, hundred years. Almost everything in Maybew is found 

 in an old work, entitled " A. Sportsman's Dictionary." pub- 

 lished in Edinburgh, 171!',). Pathologists have done more for 

 the dog than has ever been supposed, in their vivisections, and 

 il is only when till the deductions are collated that they be- 

 come valuable. These appear to have been put into practical 

 use, so far as possible, in this book. The literature of the 

 subject has been thoroughly ransacked. At the same time 

 technical terms have been avoided its far as possible. We arc 

 pleased to notice the extreme caution used in recommending 

 medicines and their application, and the use of cold effusions 

 in diseases of an inflammalory character arc scarcely treated 

 upon, for the. reason that they arc dangerous for non-medical 

 hands; and this book is not written for doctors, but for ihe 

 general information of those whose knowledge of Iherapcu- 

 fics is supposed to be limited.

 Mr. D. P. Smith, one of the members, was accompanied by 

 bis seller dog Sep. Aboul 10 o'clock the dog, who had been 

 sleeping quietly at: bis master's Beet, arose and walked several 

 times, rather uneasily, between his master and the door as if 

 he desired to gc-j then turning his attention to the hats 

 on a table ho snuffed them over, apparently not finding what

 Smith's hand, the pleased look on his face and the wag of his 

 tail plainly showing lhal Nep wished to be excused. Mr. Jno. 

 \V. Knight, another member present, related the following 

 story of a dog he owned : The dog was a large Newfoundland, 

 weighing 148 pounds, and was very much attached to adi- 

 minulivc black and Ian terrier belonging ton physician in town. 

 The terrier was poisoned and Ihe body taken 'lo a small piece 

 near the house of Mr. Knight; Soon after the 

 death of the black and Ian. a son of Mr. Knight .with other 



lads, accompanied by the Newfoundland, Hover, were wander- 

 ing through ihe said woods and came across Ihe remains of the 



terrier. Hover seemed lo evince as much grief as a. dog t Id 



at finding his small friend and protege hail departed this life, 

 and with difficulty he was called on by the boys, and soon disap- 

 peared only to return after a lime wilhhisfaccand legs showing 

 traces of moist black earl h. Thinking he had been digging 

 for a wood chuck or other small animal the boys returned and 

 found the body of Ihe little doggone, but the marks of Hover's 

 paws in Ihe soft earth: and a small monad newly made, solved 

 the mystery, for under a slight covering of the "soil was found 

 ihe body of the terrier. Hover had performed the lasi sail of- 

 fice for his little friend, and had been grave digger as well as 

 chief mourner. Mr. Knight has since had to perform a like 

 office for faithful old Rover. Is it, instinct or reason? Won

nt the dachshunds exhibited at the late New York Hunch Hliow. Tin

 been there fur com pel i lien also, thej would have laketi till prizes. 

 Here 1 like lo differ with the writer. 

 Br. Twaitdeil very properly made different classes, and there should be

 there were no dogs of this breed on exhibition, wiueli . .cue np belter 

 to tho real German Idea ol a iii.-7nii-iii.red dadc-hnml than l'lmkuiul

 been found chut would have preferred auy dags to the above-mentioned 

 couple. 



I heard a remark of Col. Skinner, who acted as judge and awarded 

 the different prizes at He Centennial Beuch Show to Dr. TwaddeU'a 

 dogs, that there were no more, perfect pair of dogs on exhibition, and 

 that he had never seen their superior either here or abroad ; am. an he 

 has a great, experience with these dogs "ii both sides of the ocean, " he

The" foreign gentleman '' to whom the Field rerers. as giving Or. 

 Twaddell praise rovh!s(tn fact; excellent judging, must have been ball- 

 dozed somehow, as the ribbon- weriMvruugly displayed ill several ln^ 

 Fiancee, fie no paid Dr. Twaddell a rather poor compliment, as it was 

 only Corrected on the lust day nt the abOW. blue and red ribbons were 

 given to a couple of white dachshunds with tan spots- a color that Is 

 never seen in a thoroughbred dachshund— and as I understand, by mis- 

 take, as none of these were awarded a prize. There were also some 

 other dogs which were awarded prizes, but had no ribbons displayed 

 over their stalls. 



Now, t like to ask how the Field, editor or the " foreign gentleman ' ' 

 could agree with the lodging-, an long as Ihe f'e'M gives a Wrong account, 

 aud Ihe ribbons were wrongly displayed during Ihe show ? 



Was the foreign gentleman at the time probably the Imppy possessor 

 oft.be then lost judge's catalogue, which contained the original uud 

 real prize winners? 



Dr. Twaddell, who deserves Ihe highest credit for his judging, has 

 some, excellent dachshunds of the smaller breed ; but the more he will 

 breed after the shape, and style of Punk and Nelly, the more he will 

 improve this already good breed. Cam Iuon. 



[The judge in the dachshund class derided that I here were 

 three distinct types of daeh present, and with the consent of 

 the commiltco so decided, awarding three first and three 

 second prizes. The ribbons were originally put up correctly 

 and in accordance wiih ihe numbers marked in the judge's 

 book.— F,o.|

THE INTERNATIONAL MATCH OF 1S77. 



On Monday morning last Mr. George S. Scliermerhorn, Jr., 

 Secretary N, R. A., received the following cablegram : 

 71? '• GoV Geo. 8. Sdtmn&'hom, Jr. : 



National Rifle Association will send a United Team to Greed- 

 moor this .year. E. St. Jons Mildmav. 



Captain Mildmay is Secretary of the N. 11. A. of Great 

 Britain, and the telegram certainly looks as though Ihe Inter- 

 national trophy was not to enjoy the quiet which promised to 

 mark the season of ISTt. The Iclegram made rpiile a stir in 

 ride circles ; all were glad at the prospect of a contest, and all 

 were equally certain thai victory would once more perch with 

 the American eagle. " We'll "whip 'em again," was Ihe first 

 remark of the majority on hearing the news, anil if the team 

 be selected with the propef care we doubt not ourselves that 

 there is ample skill in our American shooters to bring about 

 such a result. At, present it is impossible to say what ar- 

 rangement had been made on the other side leading to tins de- 

 termination on the part of the British N. 11. A. Mail corn s- 

 pondence will clear that up. As amatler of fact and record, 

 ihe original conditions of the match do not recognize any 

 " united teams." but distinctly calls for national teams, speci- 

 fying Scotland, Ireland. England, etc., as nations, to be in- 

 vited. It was only in the perplexing stage following the mis- 

 construction of our invitations last year which led .to the 

 agreement on the part of the Americans to accept a mixed 

 British team for that year. The offer was not, then accepted, 

 and nothing was said aboul its continuance for another reason. 

 If Ihe British N. K. A. think by the Offer of the above to cut 

 off a separate representation from Scotch, Irish and English 

 marksmen, should such bft offered, they are in error; but if 

 the plan of a united team is put forward with the idea of 

 economizing effort and concentrating material into a stronger 

 team, the oiler will no doubt be accepted, but, not to the ex- 

 clusion at any future time of separate teams. The only safe 

 grounds on which the Americans can stand is to adhere to the 

 original trophy P-ru-:. 1 .r. big 1 h" M>c-tiu,i of a unite] team 

 to the decision of those composing it, and standing ready lo 

 recognize any separate team which may present Itself. ' By 

 our next issue we hope to have fuller information from tho 

 other side, and shall Ihcn speak on the important Cpiestiofi ef 

 the selection of the American team.
