In matches !>; cmghlj revolving clubs there is as little 



nl rest taken es Ousts is in mutches between the olassical :rad 



mfl li u 'ii Side of mi English i > 1 1 1 • 1 i •:- school. It. amounts loa lack up 

 Of sides und no more. 



Sow tasklf it is not a mailer beyond; dispute -that in mutches 

 between strictly non-revolving clubs— as the Harrow and Eton 

 i imil the Oxford and Cambridge match there is not ten 

 i I. l en Uutii in any contest between revolvers? 

 People, it is true, rush to Lord's to see the butting; of a Grace or 

 the bowling of a Shaw, and unless there is some olub individually 

 represented in the match, oome away carina vary little which 

 side wins. But on Ktou and Harrow fltt-J tfi the sympathies of the 

 crowd are with one club or the other. If you have ever had the 

 opportunity to notice the crowd of old Eton and Harrow mon- 

 oid gentlemen— who attend the Eton and Harrow contests, and seo 

 the interest they take in the teams of their respective schools, you 

 Will understand what club pride is. 



This is one of the benchts of the noil-revolving system. "What 

 interest, think- you, would bine been taken in tha late English- 

 Austrulian contests had revolving been allowed and the English 

 hnvn had the benefit oE Spollortb's or Allen's bowling? The 

 reSull Is very readily seen. By such a course all the spice of the 

 niatcli would have been token out. Put spice into your contests, 

 and you'll get all 1 liu cricket and cricket clubs you nan wish for ; 

 and there is no seasoning for your battles between clubs which 

 e. imputes with the seasoning the non-revolving system gives. 



_ Cricket. 



—George Wright has been engaged by the Beacon Park Associ- 

 ation of Boston as superintendent of the grounds and cricket 

 professional. It is u wise appointment, and one that will ho in- 

 i Bdttj hfelargo number of cricketing friends. TbeLongwood 

 Cricket. Club has secured a " tough one " in George to y>lt against 

 those, clubs that insist on playing professionals ; but at the samo 

 time the Longwood gentlemen will continue their prefer- 

 ence for amateur contests as heretofore. With Wright and tho 

 new ground, cricket should " boom " in Boston.

 essary forathletes. Alfred Shaw will be remembered for his lino 

 display of howling, and Arthur Shrewsbury for his batting capa- 

 bilities. We understand that every article has been selected with 

 the greatest cue, and that the new emporium is one of the fore- 

 most of its character ou the oilier side.

W. H. T., Staunton, Va. Bathe the scalded purls with glycerine 

 several times a day. NO doubt the hair-bulbs are destroyed, in 

 which ease the hair will not grow again. 



Sjupd, Deflhain, Mass.— Address Mr. Onto. lie Honge, No. SI

 Stek— her nose IS hot and she Slobbers somewhat. Ana. Give done

 small hoard to stand on and to place stove for seat. 



N. Y. ' >. I!., Adirondack Club House, Newcomb, N. Y.— 1. How old 

 must moose be before they have young? 1 have one throe years 

 old— no calf this year. ~. I wish tn get. a good bear dug; oue that 

 will keep the bear at bay until tho hunter comes up. Aus. 1 

 Moose usually breed at two years. 2. Get a cur dog, ii i b»i 

 numbers. 



Y. 3., Tamaqua, Pa— I have a S] ye.t( Tiot bitch thttt is one year 

 and nine months old ; she has beeu in lie.it twice, although I did 

 not breed to her. It is not seven months since she was In heal ; 

 can anything bo done for her? Aus. Do not pen her up, but let, 

 her run with tho dog. Feed libcrallv. Bitches will often pass ono 

 turn, and sometimes run nine or ten months. 



0. Struani, Indian Lake, Hamilton Co., N. Y.— Last fall, while 

 out hunting, my cocker Hushed a brace of beautiful birds about 

 tho size of a ruffed grouse, black, excepting a few white leathers 

 on the breast, some red over the eyes; very tame. A friend of 

 mine shot seven of the same kind afterward. Will you he so kind 

 as to toll me what they arc ? An S . They were undoubtedly Spruce 

 or Canada grouso (Tdrnu riiiniilcasis), o species common iuAdiron- 

 daek and Maine woods. 



G. 1,., Sagetown.— My setter puppy has had distemper, and 

 although recovered, lie has a jerking of his body. Aus. Your 

 puppy has chorea, ono of the common results of distemper. As 

 you neglect to state ago it is impossible to specify exact treat- 

 ment. If the dog is six months old or over, give five drops of 

 tincture of nux vomica iu half ounce of water twice u day; in- 

 crease tho dose to fifteen drops by adding two drops every oilier 

 day. Give dessert spoonfid of codliver oil twice a day. Peed lib ■ 

 rally. 



A. B„ Aua-usta, Ga.-I have a bull-bitch that has raised a litter 

 of puppies, now ten weeks old, and she seemed all right until a 

 weckortwo since, when her body became greatly swollen, and 

 she showed a disposition to bury her food. She is lively enough, 

 but has a poor appetite. Ans. You neglect to locate the part 

 swollen, or whether the whole dog is involved. Tour dog has 

 probably a tendency to dropsy ,"in which ease twenty drops of 

 spirits of nitre twice u day In water will suffice until you write 

 more definitely. 



Cauisan.— It is a question whether there is any advantage In 

 using narrow cloths. Lapthorn, who canvases a hundred yachts a 

 year, thinks the usual width of 23 inches as good as any other. 

 Weatherliuess implies capacity to go to windward, and lias no 

 connection with abilit y to face bad weather or a heuvy sea, The 

 latter are expressed by the terms seaworthy, or seagoing, and 

 able. We think 10ft. w. 1., 12ft. beam, and 151ft. hold very good 

 dimensions for your purpose, but much depends upon your 

 model. Adopt the keel. 



C. A. B„ St. Cloud, Minn— I have an Irish setter puppy six- 

 months old that has the distemper very badly, and has been uug- 

 lccted too long. He is very weak, particularly iu small of the 

 back. Have given him nux vomica and Fowler's solution of 

 arsenic iu small doses. He had ono dose ot live grains of calomel 

 whon first taken sick. His appetite is poor. What shall I do for 

 him? Ans. You have given entirely too much physic. Allow 

 dog plenty of oxerciso, clean dry kennel, and pure water. Good 

 food and half a teospoouful of sulphur twice a week. 



L. L., New York. Citv.— From the condition iawk'oh you de- 

 scribe your dogs, as having little pustules on the skin and run- 

 ning sores which they scratch and bile u good deal, they arc evi- 

 dently afflicted with mange. We presume from whai you say 

 and your desire to have them "cured within nwcok," that they 

 have been entered for the coming bench show, and that you pro 

 pose to exhibit them. You will be unable to do this, as tho dis- 

 ease is contagious, and no cure enn be'^effocted within so short a 

 time. Muzzle your dogs und adopt a treatment similar to that 

 recommended to W. It. P. in this column. 



C. B. C, Stamford, Conn.--You arc correct iu yourtheory ; your 

 dog is afflicted with internal canker. Cleanse tho ears thor- 

 oughly with Castile soap and lukewarm water. After carefully 

 drying them with a picco of soft sponge, fill each ear twice a day 

 with the following lotion: Diluted lead water, one ounce: sul- 

 phate of zinc, one drachm ; water, twelve ounces. Put a cap on 

 the dog. You may occasionally sift equal parts of flower of 

 sulphurand pulverized charcoal in tliolears. Give half an ounce 

 of Epsom salts, in water, twice a week for several weeks. Low 

 diet, no incut. Write again, if dog is no better. 



E. E. B„ Meadville, Pa. My spaniel has been bitten by a huge 

 Newfoundland dog. The cut was just hue!; ot theribs, and three 

 inches in length. I had il sewed up Immediately. When I re- 

 moved the bandage I lie next morning the out was spread open 

 three-quarters of an inch; it seemed to be very tender, audit 

 shortly afterward began to smell badly, and sinco then it has 

 shown no inclination to heal. What shall I do lo effeofc&ourei 

 Ans. Itisseidom well to sew up such wounds. Wnshwuha weak 

 lotion of carbolic acid, one part acid CO filly of water, twice a dav; 

 leave the wound open, it will heal up ; a bandage may tie npplied. 

 C. A. P., Boston.— The position of your center-board will bo 

 governed by the sail plan of your canoe. Generally speaking, 

 place its center a little forward of the center of your sails. Area 

 of board about lisq. ft. immersed. Attach a* follows: On the 

 rail of the canoe screw angle-iron, say ::ft. long. Win. high, made 

 of stout sheet iron. To the board screw a strap of lln. Iron, Uin. 

 wide, forked to take good hold of board. The upper end of I his 

 strap is turned over, so as to damp the vortical utluge of the 

 angle-iron on tho rail. With a thumhse.rcw the board can be held 

 iu any plttee alOpg the angle-iron. When not iu use, everything 

 can be unscrewed and stowed'. 

 W. 6.. P., Brooklyn. N*. Y. -1. Your dog is afflicted with p;u- 



naily ; bin as you at gleet to state age of animal, [t is liapbss 

 for us to proscribe quantity; you may however, givo an apei 

 of Epsom salts once a week, Vour dog is evidently in a very bad 

 condition, resulting from luck of exercise, and want of proper 

 food and care. Mix sulphur and magnesia in food. fn.i;i which 

 lucre should tic an absence of all meat. 



II. P, \V. .Jersey i.'itv . N. .1. ■ 1. What are (he peculiar excellences 

 of the fox terrier-' 2. lias he any merit as a rabbit dog? Ann. 1. 

 The fox terrier was originally kepi In England as an addition to 

 every pack of for hounds, so thai if the fox ran into a bole, or 

 "went to earth or ran to „i tiled in tie.- parlance 



of the hunting tn Id, the terrier would be ot) band to bay the fo.v 

 and draw him or drive him from his rrlrcat.. He will cam his 

 lestroyerof vermin, und LIS u" ratter" has no superior. 

 ;;. 01 course he can be broken to poke about in iho bushes and 



start out tho havos, but f oi lint I m tie 



the thing. There arc uowild rabhilslu thin country to the manor

 Old in I) iisuullyitvely, issnmcwhai - il is. Has occa- 

 sional twiiehings of muscles and sta r '- h- ; i ling to rue 



Nt)s8 is hot and dry and runsa liiile; appeiite gOOti; i Lei fiSia 



good kennel on clean straw ; has been fed on br in. I n -.:■ 



milk, beef-tea and now and then a bttlu incut bone. I think the 

 disease is distemper in a mild form as yet. Will you kindly pre- 

 scribe for him ? Aus. The symptom*, as you describe them, do 

 -in! point to distemper, us it does not generally appear in puppies 

 or that age. Your puppy tuny bo afflicted with worm 

 vermifuge after twelve hours' fasting, followed by castor-oil. 

 Write again if no better.

A Stmscniimit, C: it aw is --n, Pa.— We require the name and ad- 

 dress of all correspondents, not only as a guarantee of good faith 

 hut as a matter of common courtesy. Therefore, your auony- 

 ts communication would not, bo regarded, were it not for its 

 length and tho excellent inunucr in which you review Ihe history 

 of your dog's ease. That your setter should have been si, i nek ly 



V'ou seem to have pretty thoroughly exhausted the materia mrdira 

 in your course of treatment, and we cannot suggest anything 

 further in this direction. As to diagnosis, your familiarity with

under tho circumstances, ours could possibly bo. 



!>,,. Cambridge, Mass.— My pointer, eleven months old, is ailing, 

 HU appetite is irregular. Ho is feverish occasionally, hilt most 

 of the time his uoso is cold and damp. He has a cough, particu- 

 larly in the morning, and with considerable effort coughs up 

 some turn slimy white liquid. His eyes are generally In fght, but 

 run much of tho time. With regard to his bowels there is no 

 constipation, but a continual straining accompanied by some 

 distress, and now and then by t he passage of a little blood. Most 

 of what ho passes, however, would indicate a good condition of 

 the bowels. Aus. You fail to state the length of time the dog has 

 been sick. We would suggest, however, that you give full dosfl 

 of castor-oil, continuing with which twenty drops of the oil ot 

 male fern ; this to bo administered in tho morning ou empty 

 stomach.

B. i ; .. OhataaOOge, Icaro.— My Newfoundland. Qftcen months 

 old, two fc0t,four inches in height, weight thirty-live to forty 

 pounds, is very siek. Last SU timer ho hud what I presume was 

 the distemper, ho would have flts, froth at the month und snup 

 at everybody. I gave him castor oil and copperas; beseemed to 

 get over the tits, but became very weak, lie has retained a pe- 

 culiar twitching of tin- limbs, which caused him lo si, a,,- v< ry 

 much, He has sine.' lost a little of the twitoblng and doesnot

 withoni success. I administered quinine, four grains a day* f-OE 

 a we.k, but it apparently di<l him no good. What shall I do Cr 

 him? Ans. The weigh! alone shows what poor condition your dog 

 must be in. Give mud aperient, say two compound rhubarb pills 

 every second or third day, and administer eight grains ol qui- 

 nine once a day, for two weeks, after which time, give table- 

 spoonful of cod-liver oil each day. Feed liberally, and after
