A HUMAN SKYE TERRIER is the latest importation of 
the museum managers. He is described as Theodor Jo Jo, a 
boy of sixteen, whose face resembles that of a Skye terrier. 
Jo Jo held an informal reception in the Astor House after his 
arriyal last Sunday, during which he submitted gracefully to 
a good deal of pulling about and inquisitive handling by re- 
orters and other invited guests. His face is covered with a 
long, wavy mass of silken hair, which in color is between 
light red and silver gray, It hangs upon his brow down to 
the eyes, parting in the center and waving off to either side 
hike that of a fancy terrier, It droops from his cheeks in song 
wavy locks, grows from the nostrils, and hangs from bot 
ears. The length of this luxuriant growth of hair varies from 
two to four inches, and it is so thick that the skin beneath is 
yisible only in scattered spots. The eyes of the dog-faced boy 
also resemble very closely those of a terrier. They are slightly 
bluish in color, almost perfectly round, and the whites are vis- 
ible entirely around the pupils. His mouth is furnished with 
only the two canine teeth above and two incisors below, and 
all four are thin and sharp, resembling miniature tusks rather 
than human teeth. The entire body is covered with a growth 
of thin light hair, but the thick, heayy locks are found only 
onthe face, It is said that JoJo snarls occasionally like a 
dog, but he was perfectly tractable last Sunday, allowing his 
yisitors to pull his hair and satisfy themselves that it was not 
fastened on by artificial means, and to examine his teeth as 
they would have investigated the molars of a horse on exhibi- 
tion. He speaks Russian and German tolerably well, and a 
few words of English, and took great pride in showing that 
he could write his name by signing it to the back of his pic- 
tures in large, flowing characters. The dog-faced boy was 
captured in the forests of Kostroma, in the center of Russia, 
about eleven years ago, with his father, who is described as a 
wild man, with the same peculiar face which the boy now 
ossesses. JoJo was then littl more than a baby, and his 
ace was comparatively hairless. The father was exhibited 
all oyer Hurope until three years ago, when he died, Mr. 
Bailey, of Barnum, Hutchinson & Bailey’s Biggest Show on 
Earth, succeeded recently in securing the boy by giving heavy 
bonds to return him safe to Russia, and Nicolas Forstet was 
sent over with Jo Joasan agent of the Russian Government 
to accompany him and see that he was protected seca tO 
the terms of the contract. The boy has been secured from Mr, 
Bailey by Hager, Campbell & Co,, of Philadelphia, bat he was 
placed on exhibition in a museum of this city on Monday, 
where he will remain for a season. JoJo would be an acces- 
sion to a bench show, 
BEAGLB IMPORTATION.—The steamship Illinois, which 
arrived from Liverpool Oct. 7, brought over a pair of beagles

RANGE AND GALLERY. 
MASSACHUSETTS MILITIA SHOOT. 
OUTH FRAMINGHAM, Oct, 9.—The annual rifle CO eae eaae of 
the Massachusetts militia took place on the State's rifle range at 
South Framingham yesterday. The interest that is being taken in 
tifle shooting by members of the militia may be judged from the 
great attendance of officers and soldiers, 700 of whom, itis estimated, 
took part in the various matches, Overa hundred members of the 
militia in undress uniform reported on the range before 9 o'clock, and 
promptly at that hour, Col, Rockwell declared the meeting opened 
and the match begun, Wrom this hour until dark the shooting was 
lively, a short intermission at noon being the only time the target was 
idle. The shoots of this State haye always been held under unfor- 
tunate weather conditions, and yesterday was no exception, a strong, 
cold northwest wind blowing across the range all day, and, in the 
morning particularly, making good holding all but impossible. 
Toward evening the wind let up a trifle, but still remained puffy. 
Under these conditions, the scoring of the day must be considered 
excellent. A pleasant feature of the mesting was the presence 
among the foot troops of three teams of cavalrymen, armed with the 
new carbine, and they are to be credited with some good team and 
individual work, 
Besides the matches provided by the State, the Providence Tool 
Company’s cup was up for competition, and, as two teams on the 
field ‘had won it twice (the conditions requiring it to be won three 
times), a sharp contest for this trophy was looked forward to. As it 
was, Company D, ist Infantry (Roxbury City Guard), made the best 
score in this match, and, having won the cup twice previously, now 
hold itfor good. The New Bedford City Guard, Company #, ist In- 
fantry, secured the first prize in the State match, having the Roxbury 
City Guard close behind them. The trophies competed for were as 
follows: For staff teams, one trophy; for company teams, three 
trophies; also for teams of such companies as have not in any pre- 
yious year won a State trophy, three trophies; but no team shall take 
two trophies. Wor officers, three trophies: For enlisted men, ten 
trophies, as follows: For first-class marksmen, three; for second- 
class marksmen, two; for third-class marksmen, three; for men of no 
record, two. In the team match, the first six company teams were 
prize winners, the fourth, fifth and sixth teams winning by virtue of 
neyer haying before won a prize. Besides the prize offered by the 
State, about every regiment had special prizes of its own, which 
added greatly to the interest. of the work. A good word should be 
spoken for the executive officer, Col. Rockwell, who had supreme 
control of the arrangements for the match, The best of the records 
in the various matches shot are appended:

THE ARMY TEAM.—Yort Leavenworth, Oct. 3.—The army rifle 
competition closed to-day with the third day, in the presence of Lieu- 
fenant-General Sheridan, General Augur and other officers, and a 
large number of ladies and gentlemen from the city and néighbor- 
ood, 
The interest taken in the match was very great and the friends of 
each of the marksmen encouraged them to do their utmost to take 
leading positions. Especially was this the case with Lieutenant Clay 
and Merriam, The former had the lead, but he has been under a 
great nervous strain for ten days on account of his brother’s death 
and not having had practice, itis not surprising that he gave up the 
first place to such a fine shot as Lieutetant Merriam. 
The foliowing table shows the scores for yesterday, the agzregate

The scores for this contest fall a little behind the other contests on 
the range this year, but are better than the army team scores of two 
years ago, No match was ever shot during more unfavorable weather, 
the wind all the way through being strong and of the fishtail char- 
acter. 
After the army competition had closed the division team long-dis-

Weather conditions were good, and poor holding alone was responsi 
ble for some of the scores made, which were considerably below the 
average.—Duane, Act. Adjutant. 
VALLEY FALLS, R. I., Oct. 9.—The first rifle practice by the State 
militia on the new range took place this afternoon, and was engaged 
in by Companies B and D of the First Light Infantry. During the 
practice and about 1 o’clock, one of the marksmen accidentally shot 
a cow which was browsing back of the range, hitting the animal in 
the right flank. Some said it was private Kirby, and the boys on the 
return march to the train “guyed” him considerably. The dinner 
was served at about] o’¢lock. The air was clear and cool and the 
wind a little puffy. Musician George R. Taylor, of Company B, was 
the best marksman, making a total score of 21 out of 25. Hach man 
had five shots at a 200-yard target, but the general practice was far 
from satisfactory, and shows the need of abundant practice by Little 
Rhody’s volunteers,

TORONTO GUN CLUB. 
Editor Forest and Stream; 
The twelfth annual shooting match of the Toronto Gun Chib, took 
place Oct. 1 and 2, at the Woodbine Park, which was kindly placed at 
our disposal by the owner, Mr, Jas. Duggan. The first day was all 
that could be desired for an outing—a most beautiful day, bright, 
with just enough wind from the northwest to carry away the smoke. 
The next day we were not so fortunate or else the clerk of the weather 
wanted to see what kind of stuff the members of the ciub were made 
out of, as early in the morning a strong wind, almost a gale, started 
from the east, and by the time appointed to commence shooting, the 
heavens had opened, and rain fell fast and furious for the rest of the 
day. 
The members ere diyided into four classes, The fourth class he- 
ing composed of our social men. This class we call ourNursery. The 
first, second and third classes shot at 15 pigeons each, and the Nursery 
at10, The first and second classes shot af 26yds. rise, 100yds. bound
