 charitable as things go, but not as we understand things here. 

 In that, as in most, 'other things, their resources have been 

 Overtaxed, and the poor there are pretty apt to die unoured 

 for. 



New Mosqiito Net. — Mr. A. A. Cowing is the inventor 

 Of a new mosquito bar, which cannot fail to please sportsmen 

 and campers. It is so arranged as to be readily folded and 

 packed in dimensions suitable for the pocket, weightless 

 than a pound, ami can tie folded or set. up in less than half a 

 minute. Once tried, it will be considered as indespcnsable to 

 t'lie outfit of the traveler and tourist.— [See advertisement.

Laws Settee. -G Webster Peck, of 110 Chambers street, 

 City, furnishes a superior lawn or garden settee, either with 

 or without a folding tent top. The back of the seat, reverses 

 like, a car seat, and the canopy may be thrown backward or 

 forward as desired. It, is lour and a quarter feet, in length, 

 the extreme height Of canopy being six and one-half, with a 

 spread of four feet. The canopy folds up like a pocket rule 

 and may be renewed at pleasure. These settees have become 

 a necessity with those fortunate possessors of lawns or 

 gardens. 



Mr. Peck also manufactures that almost indispensable arti- 

 cle of utility and comfort, the hammock. They arc. a luxury 

 to the healthy, a necessity to the, invalid, and furnish a safe, 

 bed for children. As a substitute for the cradle it is un- 

 equalled. — [See advertisement. 



OrrebMooe, July 38.— The large clientage which Creed- 

 tuoor enjoys among the members of the National Guard was 

 shown in the falling off in the attendance at the range during 

 the riot, Lroublea. With the whole National Guard under 

 arm;-,, I In- range was left vacant, and beyond (he, competition for 

 places on the team the range has been deserted during the past 

 week. Willi the dismissal of the troop on Friday evening it 

 was thought that .Saturday's shootiug would be well attended, 

 bill at 10:30., when the Remington match was called, 

 bul Four marksmen responded, Allen, Rathbone. Milieu and 

 Fisher. As it requires at least ten entries 1,0 till the match, it. 

 was declared off, and the men set, at private practice, putting 

 in an enjoyable, and no doubt profitable, day of personal 

 coaching. It was the first time in the historv of the associa- 

 tion that a match was allowed to go thus by default, and the 

 fault may be jointly laid upon the strike excitement and the 

 peculiarly repressing conditions of the match, requiring the 

 shooters to use what they consider an inferior article of am- 

 munition. In the afternoon the second competition for the 

 third '/'.'/>■;. l-;,h! mul Warm badge was culled, and here 

 again the influence of outside excitement was seen in the total 

 of bul sixteen entries in place of the usual half hundred, or 

 more. The scores, however, were good. .1. F. Rathyen, of 

 Bergen Point, N. J., and J. A. Lowell— the little crack of 

 the Massachusetts Rifle Association— crowding for first place 

 very closely, but, upon the arrangement of The figures the 

 Jerscymau won. The full scores stood : 



Doo Breaking.— W. H. Holabird, of Valparaiso, Ind., has 

 issued a neat pamphlet of thirty-two pages, entitled " Practi- 

 cal Hints on Dog Breaking." This is especially adapted to 

 the wants of Western amateur sportstmen, and is a very 

 thorough and comprehensive digest of the art of training ca- 

 nines for the field. It also contains field trial rules, list of 

 awards at the N. Y. City Bench Show, and a descriptive 

 price list of Holabird's Shooting and , Fishing Suits. Price 



2o cents by mail.

Obitcvky. — Western sportsmen will be pained to hear of 



the death of Mr. Henry Jedkins, at bis residence in Ludlow, 



Kentucky, after an illness o£ only two days. He was much 



esteemed.

OrR Kesnkl Dsi'AKTMiiNT.— We are fortunate in having 

 recently obtained the services, with especial reference to our 

 Kennel Department, of G. A. Stockwell, M. D., whose arti- 

 cles on Western fauna and diseases of dogs, over the signature 

 of ' ' Archer," have been conspicuous in our columns for several 

 years past. The editor feels sure that the patrons of the Foeest 

 axii Stream, especially those who have kennels, will profit by 

 the acquisition. Those who wish treatment for their dogs will 

 please heed the injunction at the head of the Kennel column. 

 They will be. sure to receive such prescriptions as an intelligent, 

 diagnosis of the cases in hand may require. Hitherto no jour- 

 nal in Ibis country has been competent to treat diseases of dogs 

 with the skill which a thorough acquaintance with canine 

 therapeutics enables. This paper is now able to fill the bill. 



—The Easton (Pa.) Fret Press has discovered near Cata- 

 suqua a quail's nest, containing forty eggs, with three, quails 

 Bitting on them ; and now, not to be outdone, the Richmond 

 Di&patcli comes forward with a nest, occupied in common by, a 

 hen and partridge, eacli of which had eggs in it.

— Tie Twenty-second Regiment men will practice on the 

 range at Creedmoor for the challenge budges, 200 and 500 

 yardsi on Tuesdays. 



The Buirisn Riei em km. —Sir Henry Halford, captain of 

 the United Kingdom riflemen, writes, "The leant will sail 

 for the United States on the Kith of August. If there shonlil 

 be any alteration in the composition of it [ will let you know. 

 I do 'not. however, think there will be." (This 



means that Dunlop ami V ig will be able to go.) " I am 



writing to Mr. Schermerhorn to-day to ask for OlOTE 



i; for practice. As the rouge at Creedmoor is the 

 regular practice range of the Americans, and we shall not be 

 able to shoot together again before sailing, il 

 festly unfair to restrict our practice."
