Doa Pleas. — UUca, N. T., Sept. Uh. — Editor Forest 

 and SIream : — I notice manv .articles in your paper about 

 "doa: lle.as," how to prevent'llieni. etc. I will give vonr 

 re;id<>rs mv evperienoe. Last X^iveiiilier, my doi:< Duke 

 was coTrred with tliern. in spite of Ilea powder. I save 

 him a bed of yellow- cellar shavings under tlio carpet in 

 his kennel, in a week's time there was not a floa left on 

 him, and has not been from tliat time to date. Hewould 

 catch one or two oci^asionally from other dogs, but they 

 would disappear in twenty-four hours of their own ac- 

 cord. Probably red cedar, or Spanish cedar, or sandal 

 wood would answer the same purpose, but I have not 

 tried ritlici-, as yellow cedar is more convenient and an- 

 swers suli'ioientJy. By publishing this you will doubt- 

 less cijufer favor on many dogs. J. D. C. 



Smatj. Pointer Stock.— It has been our intention, ever 

 since the New York Dog Show, to call the attention of 

 our readers, and particularly those interested in the small 

 pointer breed, to the wonderfullv beautiful and healthy 

 stock owned by Mr. \'an Wagencu, of this city. There 

 is nothing superior iu tlus country to the get of cham- 

 pion Dutchess, by Mr. Edniund Orgill's champion Rush. 

 Dutchess is too well known and has been exhibited too 

 often to need nnr extended eulogy in these columns, and 

 lid ot Rvish. 'She is a bitch, with an 

 !iie head and of beautiful proportion 

 ;.t power of body ; and in the field ex- 

 •reness that could hard I v be expected 

 „ so linely bred. Siie is as pluolcy as she 

 can be, and no buncli of green briars is she afraid to face. 

 Full of energy and life, as anyone knows who has seen 

 her on the beiich, seMoni lying down, and always ready 

 for a romp. The secret of this is, that wdieu at iionie on 

 the farm of her master, at Pomona, Rockland County, 

 N. Y., she is allowed absolute liberty to roam over the 

 grounds where she will. Hm- jjuppies nro nevi-r sick and 

 are ever free from mange, the bane of so many kennel 

 establishments. Plain, wholesome food, clear pirre water 

 and a bed that is constantly being changed, have pro- 

 duced this result. Mr. Orgill's Rush is acknowledged by 

 winnings to be one of the most representative small 

 pointers in the country, and a rare stud aiiimal.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



Ottawa, Canada, Sept. IKh.— The Canadian Wimbledon for 1880 

 has hiid a moat suocessfTil week of It for the past 6 days. What 

 Creedinoor and Wimbledon are to larger worlds, Ottawa has be- 

 come to the land ot the beaver. Founded in 1888, and holding its 

 early meetiajfs, before the birth of the capital, elsewhere, the 

 association has now Anally and firmly planted Itself by the banlss 

 of the Kideau and close to the arms of its oursine mother— the 

 government. In accoidanoo with the time-honored custom of 

 civilized and barbaric nations alike, the openinfj day waa TeuiJcred 

 duly formal, and at the same time cheery, b.v a well-served lun- 

 cheon, given under ihe appropriate covering of a bi(r marquee 

 ■Whuroat all the notables in town and the leading visitors were 

 present, Col. Gzuwski, the President, being tlie host. Here, in a 

 very elastic dinner hour, the usual complimentarj- and congratu- 

 latory speeches were made, and MaJ.-Gen. Luurd, the new com- 

 manding olBcer of the Canadian militia, was for the Brst time 

 heard by a Canadian audience. 



The rang'B Itself presents a very pleturesuue appearance. 

 Perched on a high slope, which overlooks a valley some 600 yards 

 broad, are clusters of white tents gleaming under a hot Septem- 

 ber sun-tents of tiie yjtripus olBoew of the aasoeiattoni tents of 



rofreshment.s.iivlnB- tents of visitors duly labelled; here Nova 

 Scofia; thereOntario.New Brunswicif, Quebeoand even Manitoba- 

 British Columbia has not put in an appearance, the 2,000 miles 

 of the "iron road" aetnig- nresumaljly as a deterrent. Then there 

 is a charming nest of tents, big and Uttie, devoted to the use of 

 Col. and Mrs. Gauwsld, tastefully iitted up with fiowe- beds in 

 front and guarded by a fence of rn|)ps and pickets. Here plays 

 the band and Mrs. Gzowski receives visitors, though unfortu- 

 nately the world which visits ISBtUl at Iho seaside and lakeside 

 winding up its summer season. 



The programme of the iiieetin))' lins been a very heavy one, and 

 theSnider-BnQeld riHc has been iestpd to its best. Among the 

 prizes of special interest lu-u those pres'-ailel by His Excellency 

 Ihe Governor General and Her Koyal Highness the Princess 

 Louise, to be competed for with Soider-Bnfleld rifles, at 200,5 

 andeOOyards— 10 rounds at each range— by the fifty competitors 

 making the highest aggregate scares in the proeeding matches, 

 provided they are members of the netiee milllia foree of Caii,v' :, 

 members of the stufl', or ofhcers who lia\ e retned relainiDg lli-i 

 raok, first prize, a special badge and S'JOO ; seeond prize, a badi; ,• 

 and 8150; third prize, a badge and SIOO. 



On the first day the range was not largely attended, first days 

 being proverbially suggestiveot immaturity ot arrangement, 

 consequently those present \sx're chiefly men particularly inter- 

 ested in the contest, watching Ihrongh gla.^ses the twenty targets 

 Wbiehoonstantly rose and leil behind Ihe markers' lines, or 

 geriy discussing some ingenious rtodge for sighting or getting at 

 the windage, Therewas netliing, iiowever, of the rehearsal char- 

 acter in the proceedings, 'ihe as-oe(ation has secured as its ex- 

 ecutive olBcer this year Capt, Cost in, a man of great experience 

 in all matters of the range and riHe, an experleneo gained by a 

 long course at Wimbledon, and all ran smoothly. The system 

 seemed to be admirable, ahd the precautions taken will effectual ly 

 guard against any repetition here of those ugly instances of false 

 marking which proved so startling this ,year at the English 

 meeting. 



A center of cnvyto some was Lient.-Col. Gibson, whose 5 deco- 

 rations showed him to have been present at Wimbledon 3 times, 

 and to have lieen the happy -winner of the Prince of Wales prize 

 last year, a iirize which carried with it floo. He hLso won the 

 Kulapore Cup badge when the Ctniadian team shut against Ihe 

 English for thai troiihy. His, though, was only ihe n irtgu of 'Tit. 

 whereas others pi-eseut won thatol ';."), on whiuh apj'eart'd the 

 magic letters " Won." Indeed there were several who wore evi- 

 dences of honors gained on both sides of the Atlantie, the hei-oes 

 of the day. 



Without goina- inlo details of the matches, the meeting may be 

 summed up by saying : The gathering will not be remembered for 

 good shooting, allhongh that considerably improved latterly, but 

 it will be remembered because of the generally satisfactory na- 

 ture of the arrangements made, and the good feeling- which pre- 

 valietl througuout. No complaints have been made, and all the 

 competitors appear lobe satisfied that the fullest justice has been 

 done them. The weather has been favorable in most respects, but 

 the wind at times proved very trying on account of its varying 

 characler, especially in the early part of the week. 



The conclusion of the military matches enabled the statistical

 howling, and intimately ac- 

 ncrs of Kent of that period 

 by txis neighbors as Squii-e 



Wills, was born near Canterbury, possibly as early as 17,'^6, cer- 

 tainly not later than litiO, and, therefore, was ahmjt tl.irti' or 

 thirty-five years of age wheu he originated round-arm bowling at 

 his residence at Sutton, about two miles from Maidstone, Kent. 

 Ho was then in his prime as a cricketer, playing for his "county 

 against all England and other eounties. as well as in all th.» best 

 local matches- He was, of course, an entboshiKiie crieketer, 

 always ready for a game, and upon one occasion, wanting sonni 

 practice and having no one to bowl to him he got his sistei-fnot 

 Ids daughter, as some accounts say, for he never was ni.jrriedi lo 

 throw to him, and every crieketer, if he ev(-i- saw a female 

 throw a ball, must have notieed that the motion is vtiy similar lo 

 the round-arm delivery. No doubt Miss Wills threw some well- 

 pitched and good length balls, which Wills found difficult to play 

 and this set him to thinking it might be well to try and bowl in 

 the same way. This was iu about 1820, and the records of the 

 Marylebone Club show that Mr. Wills attempted to introduce hia 

 new style in a match, Kent ra. All-England, on Lords in 1832. but 

 hia effort was met with howls of derision aud the new style was 

 interdicted by the M.C.C., upon which he left the field and did 

 not play In the match, bis place being ailed by consent. Although 

 I did not witness this match I perfectly well remember the e,\- 

 eitementit created among cricketers. Frtun what I have said it 

 will be seen that Lillywhite's story Avas wrong, as published in his 

 " Cricketer's Companion " for 1371. Wills did^ play wlicnever the 

 weather perm tied, but not when the snow was on the gi-ound 

 and it could not have been his daughter, becauho he never was' 

 maiTied, and the motion did not originate from the girl',< effori lo 

 keep her hand away from her skirts, as Wills would not have been 

 satisfied with a young girl's " toss. " He wauled force which conld 

 only be had out of a throw. Lilly white did not take up routid- 

 arm bowling until after the refusal of the All-England eleven at 

 Lords to allow Wills to bowl in the new si.yle, and wheu he heard 

 the story of the circumstances no doubt considerable romance 

 bad become attached to the story (m'cJe the three black erowrg) 

 Wills never played in a flrst-class match after this occurrence, to 

 knowledge, contenting himself with playing for hisown el'ub 

 ,\Iarden (he did not liveiu the parish), against otherlocal elutis At 

 c time Mardeu felt strong enough with Wills and Jordan to ehal- 

 ige the County of Sussex, but f do not think the match ever 

 oameoir, Notwithsianding the ellort ot those in authority to 

 prevent round-arm bowling, it was taken up by bowlers, and it 

 1 worked its way into general play, 1 remember one o* our 

 iughai-e bowlei-s, Tom White, adop-ed it irame.Jiatelv; in fact, 

 vas the first I ever saw wiio bowled round arm ,n a match. 

 Wills was a thorough English squire of the period. He received 

 £100,000 oncoming of age, but being of a generous disposition 

 lending when asked to, but never asking for his own again, and 

 always living in an expensive way, his fortune in lime slipped 

 thrtmgh his fingers. He was a thorough sport^nl:l^, aud keui, a 

 fine pack of hounds, which he bred himself, enissing Ih.- |-|,.x- 

 hound with the black and tiin terrier and then eru,ssiug baeka-'-jiin 

 with the foxhound. This he did because the full blooded i^ox- 

 houndwustoo large and not as well adapted as the smaller breed 

 he produced were to a country so well wooded and with such 

 steep hills as that part of Kent, The time came when his res'ou r- 

 ces were so impaired, that ho had to give up his pack, aud huuletl 

 tb-at of someone else. Still later finding that he could no longer 

 live on an equality with those he had for so many years associated 

 with, he left his native county in about im, settled in Gloucester- 

 shire and ended his days there. 



Among other old-time cricLieters I reoolleet Mr. Budd, very 

 well, always playing in knee-breeches and silk stockings, aud 

 Lord Frederick Beauelerk, Nordish (Tom .N'on-idge wc usr.d lo 

 call him) Ashle.v, a earpenier, who, when his emplnver ((.ft 

 Chatham for London, followed him, and, aftraw.ird (livintr " 

 Surrey), played for Surrey. Then therewas Jinimv Jourdan' a 

 shipwright, employed in Chatham Dockyard, who I recollect se'e- 

 ing play a single wicket match at Sutton, his opponents being 

 hia father, son, and George Wilson his son-in-law, who did not 

 succeed in getting him out, although they were all three good 

 cricketers. Later, the Mynns (there were four brothers), AHred 

 the youngest aud most famous cricketer. Walter used always 10 

 long-stop Alfred's fast bowling, always stoiqiing the ball with 

 hands or body, but not taking it as clean as he erught toh-iv-) 

 done. Then Wcnman, Donington, lllllyer and Adams were' of 

 this date, the last named, by many of his contemporaries being 

 considered as good a crcketcr as any in England. But 1 remem- 

 ber while the mateli, Leeds Park rs, M, C, C-, wa.s being p,„yed at 

 Leeds Park, I was stay 1 eg >u, my friend John R.,|,er'< ho.isn nt 

 HoUingbourne, where Uenma-,, Hillyer and ulhe'l „ere 1|8„ 

 staying after the day's pl-ay, and they said, -'They did not oare
