Cloveenook Kennel, 185 Fifth avenue, N. Y. City. 



CHAMPION VIXEN.— We have learned that Mr. Mortimer, 

 in awarding champion honors to the fox-terrier Vixen, did so 

 at the request of the managers of the show. We are pleased 

 to set the matter straight aud place the blame where it belongs, 

 and sincerely hope that we shall not be called upon to record 

 another instance of the kind. Bench show honors, especially 

 champion honors, should only be conferred upon animals that 

 are worthy, else the sole object for which bench shows were 

 instituted is perverted. No fear of incurring the displeas- 

 ure of the disappointed exhibitor should induce judge or com- 

 mittee to depart from this rule. 



STRAY DOG.— Editor Forest and Stream: A dog has been 

 offered to me by a person who found it in the water off Port 

 Morris, N. Y., as nearly as I can find out about two years ago. 

 He said he thought it had jumped off of some Sound steam- 

 boat. As I would like to see the dog restored to its owner, he 

 may communicate through Forest and Stream, should he 

 happen to see this, giving a minute description of the dog. It 

 is said that some time after the dog was found a gentleman 

 made inquiries at Port Morris.— Seagull. 



ST. LOUIS DOG SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The St. Louis bench show will be held April 15, lb and 17. 

 Exhibitors at Cleveland will have ten days' rest for their 

 docs, and ample time before going to New York. The pre- 

 mium list is in the printer's hands, and will be mailed as soon 

 as fiaished. A supply will be sent to you for those who may 

 apply to you for them. 



Champion pointers and setters, dogs and bitches, get $25 

 each. Open classes, the same, get first, second and third 

 prizes— $20, §10 and §5. All other classes in the show, except 

 champions, get first, second and third prizes. The specials, as 

 usual in St. Louis, will be very handsome and worth winning. 

 Three prizes will be given to' Chesapeake dogs, and as a very 

 marked demand for these dogs has arisen here latelv the 

 show will prove a fine market for them, and should attract 

 some good entries from the East. Spotted coach dogs are to 

 have a class, in order to interest local owners. This city is 

 full of them. The cockers are to be divided into the Inter- 

 national Club standard and the American Club standard, and 

 three prizes given to each. Dr. Franklin, the secretary of the 

 International Club, promises a handsome special for dogs of 

 his club's standard, and a meeting of his club will be called 

 here during the show. The judges will be announced at the 

 earliest possible moment. J. W. Mtjnson. 



St. Louis, March 17. 



Editor Forest, and Stream: 



From unavoidable causes the dog show has been postponed 

 till April 22. Entries close April 14. Prize lists and entry 

 blanks are now ready. The superintendent's address is, care 

 of Albright's gun store, 313 North Third street. I send you a 

 package of premium lists and entry blanks by express to-day, 

 which you can distribute to such persons as may apply to you 

 for them. Major Taylor will judge setters and pointers. The 

 judge for the other classes has not been secured yet. 



The Natatorium building on Nineteenth and Pine streets, 

 where the show is to be held, is one of the best for the purpose 

 in America. It will hold a thousand dogs easily. It is steam- 

 heated and electric-lighted. The judging will be done in an 

 inclosed square iu the center of the hall. Several large open 

 lots surround the building, where dogs can be exercised. 



Large tanks and tubs, with hot and cold water are in the 

 building, for washing dogs. Dog biscuits and cooked food will 

 be supplied. There are first, second and third prizes in nearly 

 all the classes, which it is expected will induce a number of 

 entries from owners who don't think their dogs can win first. 



The list of specials will be sent you from time to time as 

 they are secured. A committee of the club will start out at 

 once to get thern. 



The champion classes for setters and pointers include the 

 winners of a first prize at any bencb show in America.

CLOVER BELLE. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Allow me to correct through the medium, of your paper an 

 unintentional deceit ou my part in entering the pedigree of 

 my fox-terrier pupny Clover Belle at both Cincinnati and New 

 Haven as being Afkly Joe— Guilty, whereas she is a puppy I 

 bought at the late Rutherford sale, and is pedigreed Joker- 

 Warren Daisy, or Bessie, I have been as yet unable to ascer- 

 tain which of these latter. 

 The mistake came about thuswise: 



Tne puppy on being bought was at once sent out of town to 

 my kennels at Scarsdale, Westchester, N. Y., together with a 

 sister bought at the same time. A week later there were con- 

 signed to me from England two fox-terrier puppies, a dog and 

 a bitch, which had been purchased by me. from Mr. G. Raper. 

 ' The former was by his champion Raby Tyrant out of cham- 

 ' pion Richmond Olive, now the property of Messrs. Thayer & 

 Bro. The latter, by Akely Joe out of Guilty, she by Corin- 

 thian. I had the misfortune to lose the dog on the voyage. My 

 kennel man met the steamer on her arrival and brought the 

 * remaining puppy to me for inspection. I looked her over and 

 found her to all appearances a promising one. She was then 

 sent to the kennels. 



When the Cincinnati show was announced, I made entry of 

 her in the puppy class, and the day I left for Cincinnati en- 

 tered her for New Haven. She took first prize at both shows. 

 Saturday morning, my kennel man came m from the country 

 to meet the dpgs coming back from New Haven, ajad then it 

 ■w*as that I learnt that as th.e phppy I had ordered to go to 

 Cincinnati was opt of ccmfU£ion, be h&d sujjstatu'ted this one 

 and had not found opportunil?? of telling me of it 



PEDIGREE OF GLEN II.— Brooklyn, March 20, 1*84.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: I would like to correct the pedi- 

 gree of Clayton H. Redfield's Glen II,, winner of first at New 

 Haven. It reads Dr. Aten's Glen and Dr. Aten's Bille. It 

 should read Dr. Ateu's Glen and Dr. Aten's Madge.— H. F. 

 Aten. 



CLEVELAND DOG SKOW.—Sjjeeial Dispatch to Forest 

 and Stream.— Cleveland, Ohio, March 24.— Please announce 

 that all railroads will carry dogs free to and from the show 

 when accompanied by owner or handler.— C. M. Munhall, 

 Secretary.

 bromo chloralum and laudanum, equal parts, and dilute with six

NON-CLEANING SCORES. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In reply to the communication of Philip Uhler. of Meubauiusburg, 

 Pa., in a recent issue, permit me to say that I experience no diffi- 

 culty in regard 'o the bullets dropping after firing a few shots with- 

 out cleaning. Neither do I consider it absolutely necessary to use a 

 lubricating disc between the powder and bullet." I iuclose'a diagram 

 of a target I made on the ninth of March, 1888 It is forty consecu- 



tive shots in a i inch bullseye. using fixed ammunition and naked 

 bullets, and the. rifle was not cleaned during the shooting. The dis- 

 tance was 100yds., weather clear and dry, and the shooting was done 

 in the back position, no rest being used. After the shooting was 

 over I took the rifle home, and after blowing my breath through the 

 barrel two or three times, I passed a dry swab, composed of a cotton 

 rag, once through the barrel, and it was as bright as a silver dollar 

 from breech to muzzle. This is not an exceptional circumstance, as 

 it is only once out of several dozen times that I took the same gun 

 out and shot it at 100yds. during last spring and summer, never 

 firing less than twenty shots at a time, and never taking a cleaning 

 rod to the range, excepting on one occasion, and on that occasion I 

 made my worst record for the season, making an average of about 

 an inch and three-quarters per shot. I do not attribute the bad 

 shooting on this occasion to cleaning the gun, but to other circum- 

 stances which need not be mentioned here. 



I consider forty shots without cleaning a severe test of any breech- 

 loading rifle, and as my experience in regard to accuracy "has been 

 so very different from that of Mr. Uhler, 1 will tell him how I manage 

 my gun. I use a Maynard .40-cal , 3?in. rifle, weighing 91bs. I load 

 the shells with OOgr*. of Hazard FG powder, and a bullet known as 

 No. 2 cylindrical. The. bullet w eighs a little less than SOOgrs I make 

 them mysMf with moulds furnished by the manufacturers of the 

 gun, and use one part tin and twenty of lead. I lubricate the bullets 

 with tallow, three parts, beeswax, one part; seat the bullets in the 

 shells with the loader, and then dip the bullets into tbe melted lubri- 

 cator just ui^tp the end of the shell, then wipe off the point with a 

 rag, and settle cartridge up on its base to cool off and allow the 

 lubricant to harden. After firing a shot blow through the barrel to 

 moisten the powder crust. In damp weather three or four full 

 breaths will be sufficient; but in hot dry weather from seven to ten 

 may be required. Always look through the barrel after blowing 

 through, and you will soon become so expert that you can tell exactly 

 whether your barrel is too dry or not. Never fire a shot through a 

 dry barrel You must have your barrel lubricated for tbe first shot, 

 and after that dampened with the brea h. But, savs some one, this 

 is impossible in hot, dry weather. No, it is not. Burnt powder has 

 a great affinity for water. I have fired my twenty shots without 

 cleaning in the hottest summer weather, when the gtm barrel was so 

 hot I could scarcely hold it, but never failed to get it clamp inside 

 before I loaded for the next shot. If the gun is very hot, hold your 

 hand over the muzzle in such posi'ion that j ou can blow clown be- 



tween the thumb and first finger. The lips will not stand the same 

 amount of heat as the palm of the hand. If there is shade in the 

 vicinity of the firing point, stand in the shade uutil your turn to fire. 

 If there is no shade, stand with your back to the sun and hold your 

 rifle, in front of you in such position that the rays of the sun cannot 

 he- barrel, in this way you can always keep your rifle in such 

 condition, that it will shoot where you alnj it. 



I iacldse' another target which I shot March 2, 18S3, It is ten con- 

 secutive shots at l00y_j. without cleaning, no artificial rest being
