cation will enable them for amoment to firmly close the jaw— 
89 firmly as to damage a stick or enable them to tug at a chain. 
This Speen and the Zope EON quietness of the animal 
have led to rabies being divided into two forms—raging and 
dumb-madness, I think the division is somewhat crude, and 
that the symptoms are so much mixed as not to warrant any 
multiplication of terms for what are certainly conditions due 
to the same poison, equally infective and accompanied by 
similar coangesin the body. Space prevents me completing

THE DEGENERATE AGE.—An old farmer in the “‘swamp 
district” of Missouri tells why the people there do not want 
immigration: ‘Look here, before the warwe was a dang 
sight better off than we are now. There wasn’t many of us, 
and we knew each other and gotalong right pleasant. We 
could go out any time and killa bar if we wanted a little bar 
meat. We had ‘coon dogsand we was happy. Well, stranger, 
along after the war there camein here a lot of long-legged 
Kentuckians. They brought their dogs over with ’em. They 
inariied into our families, and their dogs crossed our dogs. 
We've got a heap more people than we had, but they ain’t no 
account, and, stranger, there ain’t a ’coon dog in the county 
that’s worth a kick, No. siree, we don’t want no more immi- 
gration down here in Dunklin.” 
THH MANITOBA PHT STOCK CLUB held the first. of 
their proposed annual bench shows at Winnipeg last week, it 
being a complete success financially and otherwise. Over 200 
dogs were exhibited, besidesa large amount of poultry and 
other pets. Messrs, Ward and Naylor-ef Chicago were judges 
and the way in which they rendered their decisions must have 
been very gratifying, not only to the members of the club, but 
also the exhibitors as well, not a single fault being found with 
the ayards, buton the contrary fayorable comments from the 
eat and public poured in on all hands.—F, (Winnipeg, Mani- 
toba). 
THE CROWN PRINCE LITTHR,—As showing the influ- 
ence of the American dog world upon the English. we may 
say that the present discussion as to the paternity of the 
Crown Prince litter, and the open revelations and statements 
from Messrs. Dalziel, Evans, and Rideout, of what has hitherto 
been hinted at, is due primarily to the suggestion by an 
American breeder to the Sfoch-Keeper, that so important a 
Speer should be taken up and disposed ot openly and above 
oard,

SAN FRANCISCO.—The Alia of Oet. 20, speaking of the Carr 
mateh says: On Saturday, at Shell Mound, there was made the 
greatest score ever put on record, the mere details of which prove it 
the most wonderful performance ever done with a military rifle, The 
oceasion was a 100-shot match at the 200yd. target, between Howard 
Carr and Col. Sam Beaver, for a purse and to rule: military rifles, 
six pounds pull on trigger, off-hand, open sights. Mr. Carr used a 
Sharp-Burchard rifle, 6b grains of powder and 465-grain bullet. Col. 
Beaver fired bis new Hotchkiss. H.C. Smith, himself one of the 
most noted riflemen in the country, was seorer, and Captain Ludwig 
Siebe. proprietor of the range, acted as marker. These details are 
given to show that it was a match for a record. and a record itis; 
the hoss of allrecords, Here it is:

Colonel Beaver’s score, made as it was with a new gun, is excellent, 
and anywhere else than alongside of Mr. Carr’s phenomenal row of 
bullseyes would look big. 
These 100 shot contests are a peculiarity belonging to California 
marksmen alone, the sharpshooters of other places never undertak- 
ing them. The first one with a high score was shot by Sergeant N. B. 
Williams of the Fifth Rattalion, in September, 1880, when he made 443 
outo a possible 500 points, putting him at the bead of the heap. This 
position Mr. Williams kept until February, 1881, when Howard Carr 
made 456.. This was the champion score for nearly two years, when 
Lieutenant fred Kubnle, of Company C, Fifth Battalion. made 457. 
This 457 was the best score until beaten by Lieutenant Kubnle him- 
self in the ‘endurance match’ at Shell Mound in July last, where he 
won the medal with 440, 
- Before Mr. Carr began the match he fired ten sighters and made 
nine bullseyes and a four—49, aud as will be seen by the score, he 
made three 49s dur‘ng the shoot. The remarkable part of this score 
is the fact that all the shoots were So near together. Only two of the 
bullseyes touched the white, the others being well in the black, and 
not one of the *“‘centers” (or fours) was more than 35¢ins, from the 
bullseye. Every shot was inside of one square foot; or, fo put it so 
the unprofessional reader may understand it, there was not a shot
