a notice from an alderman of Lancaster of a claim be had against 

 me, owed to ono na. red Woodson. I called on the Squire, gave 

 bim the particulars, and relused the bill. That wan the last I 

 heard of that until I saw a notice warning sportsmen about me. 

 In the article he also states that 1 purchased a do<, Porte Crayon, 

 from a friend of hits by a fraudulent way, and he can prove it. 

 H'.b friend can't show anything fraudulent in th« way 1 bought the 

 dog, as I paid him his price in money for the dog, and have bis 

 receipt for the same, lu regard to bio stifling me, I will be happy 

 to meet bis lawyer. As Woodson stated to me that he had plenty 

 of money and time, I will match Hobin Hood for $100 and the 

 dog ag .mat the beat do ; e has, tho money to be deposited in 

 your hands, and the match to come off half way between h'-ro 

 and Wyoming Territory, the match to be run rn December, the 

 game to be quail. — C. %. Miley. 



THE LOWELL SHOW.— Boston, Oct. 2L— Editor Forest and 

 Stream : I received premium list for Lowell show, and lind that 

 they do not recognize "dachshunds," "greyhounds,'' "bulldogs," 

 "King Charles apiiuieta" or " Yorkshire terriers,' but have class 

 for tho "spitz " and " coach." It is rather bad for some of us in 

 Boston who have imported dogs and are trying to introduce them. 

 Should we put them in the miscellaneous class, how can they pos- 

 sibly be judged? -John P. Baknaiid Jk. 



[We have received several communications similar to the above. 

 We can give no satisfactory reason whytheae classes wereomitted, 

 but wonld advino owners of line animals to enter them for exhi- 

 bition and agitate the subject by appealing to the managers, who 

 will, undoubtedly, recily tho mistake at the next show.] 



PEDIGREES WANTED.— We would thank our readers if they 

 will kindly forward to us pedigrees of their dogs, to be placed on 

 fde for reference Do not think that becanse your animals are 

 Well known wo undoubtedly have their pedigree, for such in not 

 always the case, aud even if we should have them we often would 

 like a duplicate to send to our correspondents. Our library con- 

 tains all of the authorities upon this subject, but as most of them 

 are, in many instances, notoriously incorrect, we make this appeal 

 in order that we may not be guilty of diHseniioaung erroneous 

 statements regarding the b eedmg of any animal, thus adding to 

 the deplorable confusion that now exists in the' minds of many 

 not thoroughly irifovnied upon the subject. 



PENNSYLVANIA FIELD TRIALS.— We are greatly pleased to 

 be able to announce that the Pennsylvania State Field Trials As- 

 sociation will ruu their trials at Grand Junction, Tenn., imme- 

 diately alter those of the National Association. This action 

 stamps the association as a live aud energetic body, and we pre- 

 dict for it a brilliant future, and trust that the meeting will prove 

 all that tuey could wish. We refer our readers to the advertise- 

 ment in this number for full particulars as to stakes to be run and 

 closing of eutrieH. 



PlTTSnnno, Pa., Oct. 22 —Editor Forest and Stream: At the 

 meeting of the Association to-day the proposed amendments 

 offered the 12th inst. were adopted. Also, a resolution to run the 

 trials at Grand Junction, Tenn. The inclosed programme was 

 the work of the Executive Committee at the meeting immediately 

 following meutiug of association. — J. B. Stayton, Secretary. 



THE NEWARK FIRE DOG.— Last summer we told of the 

 tricks of Sport, the dog belonging to the Fire Truck No. 1, of 

 Newark, N- J. Sport was run over on Friday night on the way to 

 a tire, and was so seriously injured that ho had to have one of his 

 legs amputated. Before the limb was cut off Sport pluckily tried 

 to limp to the scene of the fire, but was picked up by a fireman and 

 taken back to the truck house.

1S9 Reaper, Baltimore.— I have, a terrier d-^g which Is continually 

 scratching aud has scratched a bare spot on his back above the taa 

 Will you kindly Inform One what you think the mattei with him and 

 wuat to do for him, and oblige? Ans. Vour dog probably has 

 mange and should i e treated accordingly. See answer .to W. B. «. 

 In our Issue of March 111. 



190 \\. J. P., Palo, Mich.— 1 have a. beagle dog one year old that 

 has a large wan, on the Inside or his mouth grown fast to his Up and 

 one on the outside of his lip. Tne one on tin- Inside lias a spongy ap- 

 pearance and the one, on the outsdels small, round, smooth and 

 hard. What cm l do to remove them v Would it be advisable to cut 

 the one out, of bis nioiit h? I also have a liner oi beagle puppies eight 

 weeks o d that have worms. 1 have seen two or three round worms, 

 one about, lour Inches long. I have een two worms come fiom one 

 pup and do not know whether they all have worms or not '1 line Is 

 one In the lot that has a tape worm, as I have found hi their stools 

 several pieces live or six Indies long. Do not know which pup ft ts 

 from, what Is the be-t remedy t u use lor each kind of worm and Is 

 It advisable to dose every pup without knowing wbetnei they have 

 worms or not? They are all lively and healthy and show no signs of 

 being >dck. One of my dogs with m .uge has haired our and the other 

 one ts about well, bui has not grown hew hair yet. Guess I wlU get 

 them .htough all right. Have just, mixed up a new supply of your 

 ointment, ah*. The warts: wli undoubtedly disappear as your dog 

 gets older. An application or caustic oi caslonally wld no rlnnru re- 

 ieove them, but If this Is u=ed great cate must be taken not to touch 

 the adjacent surface, see answer to W. G. E last week for treat- 

 ment for worms. By pursuing the course recommended we think 

 the pups wlU not. need dosing, except peruana the one with tape 

 worm, and It will be time enough to attend to him when a little older.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



A SELF-REGISTERING TARGET. 



AN oxchange has the following description of a device to dispense 

 with the use of markers on rifle ranges. Somethl ig of the sort 

 should have been long since Invented, though it will be found a diffi- 

 cult matter to secure sufficient delicacy to mark ftne distinctions In 

 the value of shots, and at the Bame time have a contrivance strong 

 enough to stand a heavy tusUade of hard-hitting bullets. Our ex- 

 change says : 



There has lately been Invented by an Ingenious Englishman a de- 

 vice whose introduction on the range at creedmoor and adoption by 

 marksmen throughout the country generally will probably be found 

 of real service In rifle practice, i he invent ion consist, of a self-regls- 

 leilng target, operating somewhat after the plan of tho electrical in- 

 dicator now used in hotels and other public buddings. The rings of 

 the target In the new device are made or separate pieces of metal, 

 Which, wllh the buUsevi- li-e'.f, are lusieneri or hung on a crossbar 

 placed behind the target disk. These rings swing liner; ward and for- 

 ward upon the slight, st pressure, and each Is fur her provided wltn a 

 protruding butron or nipple at the back. i-"i n.i i In- In k n ni -n ,-ni 

 structed a plank having holes Into which the buttons of the rings Ut, 

 aud which aie provided with a series of sensitive needles connecting 

 by an electric current, with a signal box, corresponding to the ordi- 

 nary annunciator. A bullet flred from any spot, in tne range striking 

 one. of the movable rings or the bullseye, will cause It lo swing back 

 ward for a moment, during widen the button at Its back will enter 

 the hole In the plank behind the target, touch the sensitive needle, 

 and -tart the electric current, whl-h will cause the annunclaior to 

 display a shield upon which Is painted, lu plain and easily discerni- 

 ble figures, the number oi the ring struck. The advantage of this In- 

 vention over the methods of registry now In use is that the registry- 

 is Instantaneous, and cannot possibly be erroneous, provided tne ap- 

 paratus is tested and founu lo be In perfect form, Further, there can 



i;e no in 'i 'idea he m one, through faulty marksmanship, as their 



services are dispensed with by the device. Ag,.ln, the adoption of 

 the device wilt put an effectual end to those unseemly di-put s which 

 sometimes occur ,. mono marksmen as to 'he correctness of the record 

 or the integrity ofibe markers. It is perfectly obvious that, no one 

 can devise a method for the bribing or intimidation of the eleemcal 

 cum nt, and charges of that character, therefore, cannot possibly be 

 brought forward. 



8CHUETZEN PARK-Unlon Hill, N. J., Oct. IS.— The last practice 

 shooting for the summer seas. m of the New York Sehuetzen Corps, 

 Capt. George Aery, ivas held to-day. After the lunch uapt. Aery pre-

BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 22.— The beautiful October days are being en- 

 joyed to rhe. lull by the riflemen, and to-d iy has been one of the best 

 or them. Walnut Hill never looked morn cliannlug yvith its beauti- 

 ful autumnal colorings. The wind was west in the early stages of 

 the shooting, rather tricky and unreliable, and with so little velocity 

 that but, sdght windage was required. The sun was bright, and a 

 mirage Of the dancing order effected a good sight. On the arrival of 

 the mid-day train, which brought large numbers of riflemen, the 

 conditions had changed. Tne sky woe, overcast, the light perle l, 

 and elegant work was don before the bu.ts. In the handicap mat. h 

 Mr. Grav came to the front with 47, Gould, Browiieli and Harris press- 

 lug hlrn close for 46, respectively. The score of Mr. F C. Brownell 

 Is worth especial mention, as It, was made with a military United 

 States .spnngtleld rifle, captain JaCKSOTi took the lead lu the sharp- 

 shooters' match Kr a total oi inn, this geuuem.n tluding the ccnire 

 oi a four-Inch ring live times in leu shots. Mr. Frye followed for six 

 bullseyes Inside the four and eight-inch rings for 101. The shooting 

 In the badge watch was brudant and even. Mr. Davis won the 

 match for the day with a capital 47, Mr. A. 0. Gould making the same 

 amount, but ouirankt-d oy the former gentleman Frye, Uough and 

 Nichols respectively made i*. The summary la appended :
