MASTIFFS. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Iwas mich pleased to see an article from so distinguished 
an English authority as M. B. Wynn, Esy., in your last, but I 
am sure we would have enjoyed an article from him on mas- 
tiffs much more than one on deerhounds, as Mr, Wynn is one 
of the very few mastiff breeders now living who knows any- 
thing about the early dogs, their characteristics, breeders, 
ete. His aiticle on black mastifis in Live Stock Jowrnal would 
well repay republication, as it opened a flood of light on the 
great variety of color that has appeared in a race that we are 
accustomed to think of as only fawn or brindle. It is much 
to be desired for mastiff interests that the threads of informa- 
tion still existing on this subject should be gathered up and 
putin permanent shape. é need a ‘Book on the Mastiff;” 
not a chapter in “Tom Collins on the Dog,” but a whole book, 
and we have at least one English breeder in this count1y who 
could add much of yalue to such a book. W. WADE.

TRAINING DOGS ON TAME QUAIL,—Pittsburgh, Pa., 
July 21.—Editor Forest and Stream: Inclosed please find $1 
for copy Hammond's ‘Dog Training.” Ican verify your re- 
marks by the experience of myself and friends in having dogs 
“broken” by some professional breakers. They were “broken” 
indeed. I have an eleven months old puppy, Fauntelroy 
(Fairy Prince—Flirt) that I wish to try to train by Hammond's 
book, Do you Enow where I can purchase a pair of quail? 
It would be inconvenient to go the necessary distance just at 
this time to find quail enough to give the puppy work,—B. 
[Your dog should not be allowed to work on quail, or in fact 
on any bird until his yard education is such that you have him 
uuder control. We learned many sree ago by sad experience, 
that birds that haye been handled should never be used while 
training a dog. The olfactory power of hunting dogs is some- 
thing marvelous, and the taint of human touch upon the bird 
is as evident to them as is the scent of the bird itself. It is 
this Sa a to distinguish the difference between a wild bird 
and one that has been handled that causes a dog to become 
unsteady on point to them, and if the practice is continued he 
will soon fail to point, unless perhaps at sight, and the re- 
sult will be that he will follow the same course when you take 
him afield, and you will bave a hard task, and may not even 
then succeed in bringing him back to where he was when you 
eommenced with him.] : 
SHINER.—The Labrador dog Shiner, which was brcught 
back in the Loch Garry from the Arctic regions, has heen 
lost or stolen from the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The dog was 
brought home by Lieut. Chambers as a present to Capt. Kirk- 
land, the captain of the yard.

POT LUCK FROM XFCHANGFS., 
A “droll dog” is a wag with a funny tale,—Pittsburgh 
Chronicle. 
The Charlestown (N. H,) Selectmen have paid bounties on 
752 woodchucks this year. 
Fashion is said to be a tax imposed by the industry of the 
pooron the luxuries of the rich, Probably the present fashion 
of keeping big dogs does not benefit the dusty of the poor 
toavery large extent, butitis certainly a tax imposed by 
the luxury of the rich on the convenience of everybody else. 
A dog who is four feet high and as heavy asa man is no 
longer a dog—or, at all events, not such an animal as the word 
dog has usually signified in our language, and the sooner a 
progressive tax on such animals, rising ene. for every 
pound over a stone, is imposed, the better for the revenue 
and the public. If people who are fashionable wish to mflict 
their monstrosities upon us let them pay for it, although it 
seems utterly unreasonable that one class of the community 
should be allowed to keep brutes that frighten our children, 
bump up against our wive’s dresses, and jostle us off the 
ayement, for any consideration whatever. In Kensington 
ardens, where there is a public notice that no dogs are ad- 
mitted unless led by a string, I counted some seventy dogs of 
all sizes on Sunday afternoon in ten minutes, under no control 
at all, a fact which shows pretty well the view dog-owners 
take of their responsibilities. To use the words vf Horace, 
a dog-owner “Jura negat sibi nata, nihili non arogat armis”— 
thatis, a walking-stick if any one comes between him and his 
dog, or remonstrates in any way.—Indignant correspondent 
Pall Malt Gazette.

BOSTON, Aug. 2.—There was a good attendance of rifiemen at the 
range at Walnut Hill to-day, and the day proved excellent for tha 
sport, the light being good and a moderate west wind blowing. Dur- 
ing the day several embers practiced at the ring and man targets to 
prepare themselves forthe coming tournament to be held at Gak 
Island. Considering it was the shooters’ first attempt at the new 
targets, excellent results were obtained. The ring target has a 
i2Anch bullseye with 144-inch center, surrounded by three-quarter 
inch rings, counting from 1 to 25. The man target represents the 
head and shoulders of a man marked by vertical lines half an inch 
apart, counting from 20 in the center {o1 on the outeredge. Below

FOREIGN SHOOTING SCANDAL.—Bremen and Hanover are 
agitated by the greatest sca::dal which has ever disgraced théir sport- 
ing annals. Jn the recent Bremen rifle competitions the principal 
prizes were won by M. Wangersheim, a resident of Hamburg, and 
Mr. Winter, an American The wonderful regularity and accuracy 
with which these gentlemen made bullseye scores astonished the 
native marksmen, who had never witnessed such marvelous shooting. 
The strangers were envied, and féted like heroes, and coaxed to make 
the grand tour of the different prize meetin They attended the 
rifle competitions at Hanover on Saturday, and there maintamed their 
reputation as phenomenal marksmen by taking most of the prizes. 
The scores made on Saturday were so extraordinary as to raise sus- 
picion among some of the defeated contestants, and an investization 
was made. This has just resulted in the discovery that the big 
records of both Wangersheim and Winter were obtained by collusion 
with the targetmen, who had been bribed to assure certain of the 
prizes to the adventurers. Wangersheim and his targebmen have been 
arrested, and will be placed on trial for fraudulent practices.—Far

FIELD TRIAL OF SHOOTERS. 
4 Ieee? novelty at the late Chicago clay-pigeon tournament was the 
so-called Ligowsky “‘walking mateh.”’ In this the pigeons were 
sprung from traps concealed in the field as the shooter advanced to- 
ward them. The attempt was made to app oximate the conditions 
of field shooting. Tie ‘walking match” was a great success, and 
called out much favorable comment, especially from the older sports- 
men present. We learn that similar matches, ohly on a more elab- 
orate scale and so much more nearly apyroaching the actual condi- 
tion of real field work, will be shot at the mterstate clay-pigeon tour- 
nament in this city next week, Aug. 14, 15 and 16. 
Ten traps will be placed at irregular points in the field, and the 
shooter will be required to fire six shots while advanciug toward 
them—six single birds being sprung im succession. If the shooter 
fires both barrels at one bird, a_hit with the second barrel will be 
scored $4. When he has fired both barrels, he will stop, reload his 
gun and again advance along a generalcentralline, The traps will be 
arranged in two series or fields of five each; three traps in the first 
field will be pulled first, and then three traps in the second fizid, the 
shooter walking at least yds. before the pulling of the first trap of 
the latter field. Thetraps to be pulled will be determined by the pool 
balls and bottie, as will also the number of steps to be taken by the 
shooter before the pulling of traps. i 
For the second field, the number of steps must be counted after 
the shooter has advanced five steps since firing the third shot. 
All these numbers will be drawn by a judge and recorded and shown 
tothe puller only, just before or as the shooter goes to the svore. 
Otherwise present rulesto govern. Thisisa system suggested by 
Mr, J. BE. Bloom. it is his opinion that some such means as this is 
requisite to prolong and retain the interest of the spectator, and that 
by ils use the sportsman is perfected as a field shot.
