THE NEW HAVEN SHOW. 

 [Special Dispatch In Forest aiui Sti 

 New IIavkx, Conn., March 12.— The dog show commenced 

 bo-day under very favorable auspices. There are of 5 entries. 

 The arrangements for benching the dogs will compare favor- 

 ably with "those of our best shows. The building is roomy, 

 well lighted and ventilated. There are a large number of 

 local entries that make a good showing. The attendance is 

 good for the first day, and there is no doubt that the show 

 will be successful. 



MR. D. C. SANBORN. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Please publish the inclosed resolutions of sympathy from 

 the party who have often spent a very enjoyable time on the 

 prairie with "Uncle Dave:'' 



It has pleased an all-wise Providence to take from among us 

 our .lear friend and beloved brother sportsman, D. C. San- 

 born, of Dowling, Mich., and while -we bow in reverent sub- 

 mission to the Divine will, we feel that one has been called 

 away whose place will be hard to fill. His sterling qualities 

 endeared him to all who enjoved his acquaintance. He was 

 kind to a fault, just though 'it' were to his hindrance, and fidl 

 of that ready wit and humor whicB always made him a wel- 

 come guest. To the family of our friend in this, the day of 

 their sorrow, we offer the most respectful homage of our svm- 

 pathy. B. F. WlLSOK,

BASKET (OR FOOT) BEAGLES. 



THE beautiful little basket beagle, ranging from twelve 

 down to nine inches in height, who has heretofore been 

 exhibited at beuch shows together With their larger brothers 

 of thirteen to fifteen inches in height, in one class, will at last 

 have a separate class provided for them at the coming New 

 York show, if the number of entries will Warrant the making 

 of such a class. 



The necessity of two classes for beagles at our shows has 

 been a Want long felt, and as a friend, one of our best judges 

 of beagles, said to me in a letter of recent date: "The best 

 judge was in a quandary when called upon to award a prize 

 to one of two beagles, respectively ten and fourteen inches in 

 heigth, and of equal merit. If he was prejudiced against the 

 one, he felt that he was doing injustice to the other, or rica 

 versa. Two classes wotdd abridge this difficulty, etc., etc." 

 I quote from memory. Having consulted the opinions of 

 several of our most prominent beagle men, and finding them 

 all coincide with my own convictions, I laid this matter before 

 the managers of the Westminster Kennel Club Bench Show, 

 and the following is the reply I received: 



New York, March (5, 1884.— A. G. Krv.erjer, Esq., Wrights- 

 i-iUe, Fa. : Replying to your favor of the 3d hist. , the managers 

 of the W. K. C." Bench Show request me to inform you that 

 if there are enough entries of beagles under twelve inches to 

 warrant making a separate class, they will do so and will 

 award to the best of that class an extra medal. — Chas. Lin- 

 coln, Superintendent. 



Now all ye owners of this admirable breed, it lies in your 

 own hands to bring about this new era in beagle history, and 

 I sincere!}" hope that you will add your mite by entering your 

 little pets' at the coming New York show, and thereby make 

 this class a permanent fixture at all future shows. If this is 

 done I think we can, with certainty, look for a champion, 

 two open and a puppy class for beagles under twelve inches, 

 in the near future. 



The Westminster Kennel Club have also consented to accept 

 and hand to their judges the standard of the American 

 English Beagle Club, which will be ready about April 1, when 

 it will appear in Foeest and Stream.

A CANINE TRANSFORMATION.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: My family rejoices at present in the possession of 

 two dogs; Nep. a Newfoundland, huge, black and curly; and 

 Leo, like wise large and black, but straight-haired (both as to 

 his coat and his treatment of his fellow creatures). Little two- 

 year old Mabel and her mother were our guests the other 

 morning at breakfast, and the child was much interested in 

 Nep, who chanced to be in the house. After atime he departed, 

 but to the astonishment of Mabel, the same dog, as she sup- 

 posed soon walked in, with never a curl in his hair. "Why!" 

 said the child, addressing Leo, "where's all you furls."— K. 

 (Central Lake, Mich,) 



CHAMPION DIDO II.— Special Dispatch to Forest and 

 Stream: Cincinnati, O., March 10.— Please announce that 

 Champion Dido n. will not be entered for competition this 

 year. I do this in the interest of brother sportsmen, as I wish 

 them to enter in the champion class, which they appear not 

 willing to do while she is in competition. — W. B. Shattdc. 



ST. LOUIS DOG SHOW.— Special Dispatch la Forest and 

 Stream: St. Louis, March 11.— it has been decided to hold a 

 bench show of dogs here about the middle of April, under the 

 of the St. Louis Gun Club. The cash and special 

 prizes will be sufficiently liberal to attract prominent dogs 

 from a distance. Competent judges will be secured and the 

 show properly managed. Every inducement will be offered 

 to exhibitors to bring their dogs. Will send full particulars by 

 mail,— Jj W. MtNsoN. 



PHILADELPHIA DOG RACES. —Dog racing or running is 

 coming to the front in Philadelphia. Dogs bred for this particu- 

 lar purpose with a certain amount of greyhound blood in their 

 veins are employed. Two or three runs take place weekly, 

 but the owners of these fleet-footed canines as a rule are those 

 who patronize the prize-fighting ring, rat-killing matches, 

 and bull-terrier lights, and the amusement will hardly ever be 

 upheld by the refined sportsmen owing to the general surround- 

 ings.— Homo. 



CLEVELAND DOG SHOW.— Cleveland, O., March 8.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: We have extended the time for 

 closing of entries till March 24. We do this on account of the 

 "Washington show, hoping that we may get many entries of 

 the winners there.— C. M. Menhall, Secretary. 



DOG LOST.— Mr. E. L. Mead, of West Winsted, Conn., has 

 lost his orange and white English setter dog Mac. He weighs 

 about 151bs., his head is evenly marked and he has dark eyes 

 and nose, there is more orange on one side than the other. 

 Any information as to his whereabouts will be thankfully re- 

 ceived by his owner. ___^ 



CLUMBER SPANIELS.— Any gentleman owning a well 

 bred Clumber spaniel will confer a favor by sending his ad- 

 dress with description and pedigree of dog to this office. 



SHOW ENTRY BLANKS.— Secretaries of bench shows 

 should send premium lists and entry blanks to us as we fre- 

 quently have calls for them. 



KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 iEIF' No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



C. S.. Falmouth, Mass.— Feed your flog with mutton broth and well 

 cooked rice, and give after each'raeal lacto-pepsin. 



F. P. C, Exeter. N. II.— Dogs are often troubled with warts in the 

 mouth. Cutoff the largest 'with scissors and touch with nitrate of 

 silver daily until they disappear. 



J. 0. E., St. Catherine's?, Ont.— Your dog is probably troubled with 

 worms. Give on an empty stomach a dose of fiuely powdered areca 

 nut, two grains for each pound of his weight ; follow in two hours 

 with a dose of caster oil. 



0. B. IS . . Madison, Ga.— Write us a description of the trouble. Your 

 puppies may have the mange, but we are inclined to the belief that 

 they are only afflicted witlCa breaking out that is very common to 

 puppies and that will disappear as they grow older. 



Eeadek. Wllliamsport, Pa. — I. We presume that your puppy bus 

 clew claws, if so we should advise you to take them off. 8. Your 

 hitch can be hunted tip to within a week or ten days of the time she 

 is due to whelp if used carefully. 3. There is no work that treats ex- 

 clusively upon training hounds. 



W. W. C Topeka. Kan.— Distemper assumes so many forms that 

 it is impossible for any one to intelligently prescribe without an ex- 

 amination. It is always safe, however, to recommend careful nurs- 

 ing, a warm kennel, where plenty of pure air can he had, and incase 

 Of debility, tonics may be given.

RIFLE POINTS. 



Fililor Forest (nut Stream! 



I was much interested in the "Rifle Queries," by "J. J. P.,'' of Wor- 

 cester, Mass., in your issue of Feb. 21, and somewhat disappointed in 

 finding that no one had undertaken to answer any of them in the fol- 

 lowing issue. I may not be able to answer any of them, but hoping 

 to stimulate a discussion I will venture a few remarks. First, in re- 

 gard to the comparative effect of moving the wind gauge one-hun- 

 dredth of an inch, or raising or lowering the peep sight the same dis- 

 tance, I believe there is no difference. The raising or lowering of the 

 rear sight will make the same vertical variation on the target as the 

 moving of the wind gauge will cause laterally. Theoretically it should 

 he so, and my experience has taught me that it is so. Any one doubt- 

 ing h can easily test it by taking a rifle with sights 3Cin. apart, and 

 after getting it sighted for the center of the bulleye at 2'X)yds., set the 

 wind gauge two points (one-twentieth of an inch) to the right, and fire 

 a few shots, and note where the shots strike. Then raise the eleva- 

 tion five points (one-twentieth of an inch) and fire again, and see if 

 the bullets do not strike as much above the center of the bullsey r e as 

 they did to the left of it in the first trial. If the gun is held steady, 

 and* the wind does not change, the variation should be. ten inches in 

 either case. In practice I always set my wind gauge two points, and 

 my elevation five points for ten inches" at 200yds. The scale on the 

 wind gauge being in fortieths of an inch, and on the peep sight in 

 hundredths, makes the variation the same iu either case. 



Question Secoud — In regard to the air space, my experience is this: 

 A'large air space will reduce the recoil, and cause the bullet to "up- 

 set" to such an extent as to bulge the barrel at the point the ball 

 started from when struck by the exploded powder. I used a long- 

 range ritle with 113 grains of powder, an air space of 9 inches and a 

 520-gram bullet, firing off-hand at 300- yard target. The recoil was 

 very light, and the bullet struck the ground 180 yards from where I 

 stood. I presume that a small air space would have the same effect, 

 only in a lesser degree. An air space of one-eighth of an inch would 

 not damage the gun, and its disadvantages might be more than off- 

 set bv the advantage of having the bullet in front of the chamber 

 When struck by the exploded powder. My theory is that the larger 

 theai ace up to a certain limit, the harder will be the blow on the 

 base of the bullet. 



j urn 1 1 Question.— I think it is hest to lubricate the barrel, as 1 be- 

 lieve I can keep the barrel in a more uniform condition in match 

 shooting in this way than in any other. If the barrel could be thor- 

 oughly dried after cleaning every time, then it would probably be 

 better to use no oil: but I believe this is impossible in match shoot- 

 ing, especially in damp weather. In match shooting you are ex- 

 pected to fire promptly when your turn comes, and you do not have 

 much time to dr\ your gun barrel with a multitude of consecutive 

 swabs, in cloudy weather your swabs become wetter and wetter as 

 the match progresses, and finally there is a sudden halt. Some one 

 has challenged a shot. The flags are stuck up, and the markers ap- 

 pear on the embankment in front of the target, apparently mere pig- 

 mies at the distance of over half a mile. Finally they all disappear 

 as suddenly ami mysteriously as they made their appearance a few 

 minutes before. Down go the flags, and Farrow gets his btdlseye as 

 usual. Now it is your turn to shoot. Your gun has been drying out 

 slowly but surely, Where wilt the. next bullet strike? You do not 

 know. You screw up your elevation oue point and fire. You take a 

 long look through year friend's telescope, but no welcome signal 

 greets your eye. The scorer calls out in a loud voice. "Miss for Mr. 

 Blank.' You do not pretend to hear him, oh. no, you are too busy 

 Cleaning your rifle. This is not a fancy sketch, but an actual ex- 

 perience at Creednioor. 



How different would have beeu the result if you had been oiling 

 your rifle. You may argue that in that ease your ritle would have 

 contained oil aud water, and the water would have dried out. So it 

 would. But the oil would have stayed there, no matter how long the 

 delay, and it is a matter of small consequence whether the sinall 

 quantity of water stays there or not. 



My plan is this: In' damp weather 1 pass the wet brush through 

 once; in hot, dry weather twice. Then follow with three linen wipers, 

 in the same order every time: then a woolen rag saturated wilh pure 

 neat's foot oil (not too much oil), then a woolen rag to wipe out the 

 superfluous oil. As the match progresses, vour oil rag becomes de- 

 pleted gradually, but the last swab fakes up a portion of the oil, and 

 your barrel remains about the same throughout the match. 



Fifth question— if the wind gauge were on the grip or heel, in shoot- 

 ing in strong cross wind the peep sight would be so much to one side 

 as" to necessitate an unnatural position of the head and spoil the 

 shooting. 



Sixth.- If the bullet fits the gun it may be pushed in from the breech 



with a plunger, and must take its proper position, but if it be a little 

 too small to fit the bore siuiglv. I do not believe that accurate shoo! 

 iug can be done with it bv any possible style of loading, whether it 

 be pushed iu at the breech, rammed down from the muzzle, or forced 

 into a small mouthed shell, and shot in the form of fixed ammunition. 



I have experimented considerably with this style oE bullet, and never 

 obtained any satisfactory results from it. A bullet that is a little too 

 large to be an accurate fit may give good results, but a bullet that is 

 a trifle too small is an abomination. 



Seventh.— If you lubricate the bore, the patch is not liable t o strip in 

 loading from the muzzle or breech, if ordinary care is exercised. If 

 the bore is wet, or dry, and not lubricated, the patch may strip par- 

 tially, or entirely off the bullet, before its proper time, especially 

 when loa ling at'the muzzle. If no lubricating disc is used I think the 

 patch will leave the bullet close to the muzzle of the gun, but I have 

 knowu a lubricating disc and part of a patch to follow a bullet for a 

 distance of 200yds. I believe that a thick pasteboard wad between 

 the lubricator and bullet will prevent this. 



Eighth.— I have questioned several experts on this point, and never 

 found two to agree. Neither have I ever succeeded m finding a man 

 who seemed tobe sure that he knew much about it. If any long- 

 range expert knows anything about it, will he be kind enough to tell 

 us what he knows? 



Ninth.— I use the Hazard Kentucky rifle, sea shooting, FG powder, 

 and have always been of the opmioji that it gave uniform results. All 

 the powder taken from one keg would shoot the same place, but every 

 time I got a new keg, I fotmd it was stronger than the preceding 

 keg, and I was compelled to make out a new list of elevations. This 

 has been the case until recently, say the past two years, I have found 

 no material change in the strength of the powder. The powder of 

 to-day requires a much lighter elevation at 200yds., and a much lower 

 elevation at 1,000yds., than the powder of five yeaas ago. although it 

 is the same identical brand, Hazard FG. I am quite positive on this 

 point, as I am using the same rifle and the same flask, and a reference 

 to my old score books must be considered positive evidence. I have 

 no desire for a stronger powder than the Hazard KG of recent manu- 

 facture. It gives a reasonably flat trajectory, and the recoil is quite 

 sufficient to enable marksmeh to know for a certainty whether or not 

 his gun has missed fire. I believe that a heavy recoil is very damag- 

 ing to close shooting, for the marksman will always involuntarily 

 brace up to such an extent every time he is about to pull the trigger, 

 that his rifle will be deflected from its proper position just at the 

 critical moment when it is absolutely necessary that it should remain 

 immovable as a rock. E. A. L.

THE N. R. A.— At a meeting of the Board of Directors of tin- 

 National Rifle Association, held March 4. Colonel John Ward was 

 chosen as secretary and Colonel John G. Scott was elected an 

 honoarry director for life. The following committee for the ensuing 

 year were appointed: Finance. Colonel J. H. Cowperfhwabe, Captain 

 Ackerman and Major Fincke; On Ranges, Colonel J. (i. Story, Gen- 

 eral Charles S. Robbins and Captain E. L. Zalinski. At the suggestion 

 of Mr. J. H. Brown a resolution was passed that a committee be ap- 

 pointed to draw up plans for five matches, to be known respectively 

 as the President's match, the Governors" match, the Merchants 1 

 match, the Bankers aud Brokers' match and the Manufacturers' 

 match; that this committee bo directed to appeal to the Governors 

 of the different States, merchants,"bankers, brokers and manufac- 

 turers throughout the country asking them to interest themselves in 

 the matches aud donate prizes therefor by way of suitable encour- 

 agement to the citizen soldiery "who are the great protectors of the 

 general safety and property;" that the committee be further directed 

 to make arrangements for the public presentation of the prized and 

 seek to induce the President of the United States and the Governors 

 of as many States as possible to take part in the presentation. After 

 it had been decided that the Executive Committee, in conjunction 

 with Mr. J. H. Brown, the proposer of the resolution, should attend 

 to this matter, the meeting adjourned.
