about the pup losing his tail ;" so I think it appropriate 

 righthere. This friend is also a sportsman, i 

 :i [lad more knowledge of dogs than nyy husband, so 

 lie were in his place he would have the cords 

 drawn oil! ail so lie would always cany it 



straight, and that the mode of proeeedure was to take 

 the tip of the tail between the teeth, then give a. sharp 

 bite and twist, and pull at the same time, and the cords 

 would draw out to the rootsof the tail, and he also volun- 

 leeivd to do the job. They were in the sitting-room, and 



thinking (.•:_■.■• i .' before Ikhew it, and not th biking

 shell chamber are too high, and the rebound is c 

 striking against them when they leave the shell; aud ho pro- 

 poses to dress them down to the height of the brass shell. Ans

 this. Von cannot bring the birds down with two <b\=. powder. 



Piiexoh, Staunton.Ta— B. and S. shoot a pigeon match, 21 

 yards rise, 80 yards boundary, each having 10 birds and entitled to 

 both barrels. S. at the gun winged his seventh bird with the first 

 barrel, the bird dropping about 20 yards from the trap. K. re- 

 marked to S.: "Tou need not shoot again, f will give you that 

 bird." The bird was retrieved from within the boundary, a few 

 feet from where it fell, and scored to S. B. at the gun tired both 

 barrels at his ninth bird, which being struck lit about 20 yards 

 from trap. S. remarked to B.: "I will give you that bird." In 

 attempting to retrieve the bird it rose and flew: some distance over 

 the boundary. Beforees decided the bird as lost and scored it 

 against B., taking the ground that B. and S. had no say in the mat- 

 ter. Was the decision a correct one? Ans. Yes, so far as the 

 actual performance of the contestants was concerned. S.'s sev- 

 enth bird should have been scored, because he gather. . : n 

 bounds; B.'s ninth bird not scored, hei i nan ii 

 within bounds. But B. gave S. the latter's seventh bird : 

 less of its being retrieved, and S. in like manner gave B. the lat- 

 ter's ninth bird; hence in getting tho score P. should, as a simple 

 point of personal honor, count B.'s ninth birds- dead. Tin. cus- 

 tom in such a case also, where the shooters agree, is to score ac- 

 cordingly ; as there was no disagreement here, the referee ex- 

 ceeded his authority.
