KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 KiF" No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



W. C. L , Toronto.— A small cocker spaniel has a bad coat, which 

 curls a little. How can the curl be removed. Ans. You cannot take 

 the curl out, but by regular brushing you can improve the coat. 



Subscriber.— A setter puppy 2*4 months old seems to be perfectlv 

 well except that one of his forelegs bends up, or rather he does not 

 seem to have any strength in that leg. He has not been hurt as far 

 as I know. What treatment would you advise. Aus. Is the bone 

 itself bent? If the dog is in poor general condition, it may be a 

 condition analagous to rickets, and in such case cod liver oil and the 

 lime salts would be beneficial. If the limb is painful and the pain is 

 localized over a joint, it may be rheumatism, in which case Roebelle 

 salts, in teaspoonfuL doses, would be of service. If due to injury, 

 evaporating lotions like chloroform linament would be called for. 

 Give us more particulars. 



J. B. B., Allegheny.— A bitch for two years has not been in heat. 

 Can I with safety give her what is known as "Spanish fly?" 

 Ans. How old is the bitch? Has she ever been in heat or whelped? 

 If not very old, and if in other respects in good condition, you may 

 try the "Spanish flies." The following prescription is a good one. 

 Tincture of nux vomica and tincture of cantharides, of each a half 

 ounce, simple syrup a half ounce, and water to make a four ounce 

 mixture. Of this give a t.^aspoonful night and morning. Also have 

 some aloes aud iron pills made up to contain a grain of each and 

 give one pill three times daily. If this does not work there nay be 

 some organic trouble. Report results. 



BR1TOMABTIS.— Champions and otherwise famous dogs 

 are now so numerous, there must he something exceptional to 



Justify special attention being given to one over another. The 

 mil bitch Britomartis claims the right at present, from the 

 fact that this country is about to lose her, as she has been sola 

 to Messrs. B. & W. Livingstone, of JSew York. Britomartis 

 has had the most successful career of any bitch of her breed ; 

 she was brought out as u wonder, and has well maintained 

 the prominent position she took at once on being exhibited, 

 She is a taiindle bitch, very compactly built for the Breed, iin 

 mensely muscular, low set, broad-chested, thick-necked, 

 and with a marvellously grand head — one such we expect to 

 see on a dog rather than gracing a specimen of her sex— and 

 that probably has largely contributed to her victories over 

 acknowledged good dogs. " Britomartis was bred by Mr, J. C. 

 Lyell. of Dundee, an old bulldog fancier and breeder, although 

 better known to the Bazaar readers as an authority on pig- 

 eons. {She was whelped July, 1881. and purchased by her 

 present owner, Mr. Alfred Benjamin, Vice-President of the 

 Bulldog Club, for A' 100, entirely 'on his own judgment— and 

 therefore the more to his credit— before she was brought out 

 as a show dog; and the following list of her winnings proves 

 how well he was justified in giving a long price for a uovice. 

 She has beaten the following well knows dogs and bitches: 

 Monarch, Monarch III., Bellissitna, Nell Gwynne, Ida, G-lad- 

 stouekoff, Diogenes, Bhodora. Sweetbriar. Acme. Lome, 

 Bedowa, Ariel, Lady Stuart. Wheel of Fortune, Maritana, 

 Farewell, and has won the following prizes: First prizes— 

 Aston, May. 1883; Bulldog Club, Knightsbridge, May, 1883; 

 York, Julv, 1SSH; Dundee, November, 1883. Champion prizes. 

 — Frome, 'September, 1883; Bulldog Club Show, Hackney, 

 December, 1883; Crystal Palace. January, 1884: Crvslal Palace 

 Bulldog Club Show, May, 1884; Crystal Palace, July, 1884; 

 Crystal Palace, January, 1885. Extra prizes— Aston, Five 

 Guinea Cup,; Dundee. Five Guinea Cup; Bulldog Club, Hack- 

 ney, Ten Gaiinea Cup; Bulldog Club, Crystal Palace, Five 

 Guinea Cup; Bulldog Club's Fifteen Guinea Challenge Cup, 

 twice. Seven Medals and Bulldog Club's Challenge Cup eight 

 consecutive, times. The foregoing is a record not often reached ; 

 indeed, it has never yet been anything like approached and in 

 so short a career. Britomartis is by that grand brindled dog 

 Monarch, that Mr. Oliver, of Bristol, brought out some years 

 ago— a brother to the noted Gamester, that was reported to 

 have died rabid, but we think without proof — and her dam 

 was Mr. Lyell's Peuzie, by Angus out of Topaz, a bitch full of 

 old Cribb blood, — London Bazaar. 



BOSTON SHOW.-Mr. J. A. Niekerson writes that "bitches 

 with pups under eight weeks will be received for the regular 

 fee, but puppies cannot compete for prizes." Dogs ages will 

 be reckoned to first day of show, April 7. The following ex- 

 presses will transport dogs to and from show at one-half 

 regular rates: American (except from points competing with 

 Adams), IT. S. & Canada, N.Y. & Boston, Followingraflroads 

 will carry three dogs free when accompanied by keeper pay- 

 ing full fare: B. & A., Fitchburg, B. & M., O. C, Revere Beach, 

 Lynn, Providence. Boston & Lowell will make special rates. 

 Fifty-three special prizes are announced. 



ALWAYS AHEAD.— "Where's New Haven ?" "She's hauled 

 her wind and is working clear away from Construction, sir," 

 "Where's Boston?" "She's trimming her sheets by New 

 Haven, sir." "Where is New York?;? "She's dropping Con- 

 struction dead astern, sir." "Whither are we drifting? Shift 

 your helm, blank your eyes, can't you see which way to steer? 

 Big your jury sail and take your course from the rest." And 

 the water-logged craft wallowed clumsily around, and squared 

 away in the wake of the others, just as their royalmastheads 

 disappeared below the horizon ahead. And muttering "Can 

 it be possible?" the skipper went below. 



WHITEWASH .—Editor Forest atid Stream: Thanks to 

 "Whitewash" discovering my flush. 1 drop steadily to wing. 

 The words I credited to Sir. Mason came from the pen of Col. 

 Taylor; just a slip of memory, so take a point on a sparrow— 

 for I only charged Mr. M. with inconsistency, anyhow— and I 

 will secure .a solid back. Was Mr. Mason's first statements 

 about Bang Bang and his breeding consistent with his more 

 recently expressed opinions of that dog? Even the. immacu- 

 late "Whitewash" shows great inconsistency when he says he 

 "hates whitewash," and still uses it to cover up his name. — 

 Luke W. White. 



PENNSYLVANIA STATE FAIR.— The Report of the State 

 Board of Agriculture for 1884, has a report on the Pennsyl- 

 vania State Fair dog show. Credit is given to the Philadel- 

 phia Kennel Club for having "aided and assisted largely in 

 making this part of the show a success," and a summary is 

 given of the Forest and Stream's report.

A CURIOUS BULLET. 



Editur Forest and Stream: 



Will 'some of your readers explain this occurrence? A bullet of 

 ,44-caliber and l>£in. long was fired one hundred rods into a 

 gravelly soil and ricocheted some fifty rods. It now measures l?4in. 

 in length and has an hour-glass constriction in its center which re 



duces its diameter about one-half at that point. At the point it is 

 bruised a little as if it had struck a pebble. The creases of the rifle 

 can be traced from the hutt through the neck or constriction and 

 some distance up the other side. It has the appearance of having 

 been stretched. The butt half of another that had pulled in two is 

 said to have been found. I have not seen it. however. W. A. A.

MERIT IN SMALL CALIBERS. 



apparent how great has been the change ._ 

 ber to attain the most satisfactory results, Being called to differeut 

 parts of the country by my business, and following the ancient adage 

 of "Birds of feather flocking together," which, when applied to a 

 rifleman, shooters like the companionship of shooters— for I am cer- 

 tain when riflemen meet they talk of but little else than this never- 

 to-be-threadbare subject— I have observed what a revolution of ideas 

 upon the best caliber- for fine shooting has taken place. 



In almost every Instance I find, where a new club has sprung into 

 existence, the members are equipped with large-bore rifles, shooting 

 large charges of powder, and facing the butts with heroic-like firm- 

 ness to receive the mulish reminder from their favorite arm at each 

 discharge. 



The same idea takes possession of all new rifle shooters, which is, 

 that they must have at least GO or 70 grains of powder to overcome 

 the force of the wind at 200yds. One of the amusing sights upon the 

 rifle range, where this artillery is used, is to see a rifleman, when the 

 tell tale marker records a two or a three, the result of poor holding, 

 or trying to dodge, the recoil, hastily glance at his wind gauge and in 

 cold blood curse the wind for blowing his bullet into a wild shot. That 

 sort of stuff would be swallowed a few years ago, when the "has 

 been's" reigned supreme, but not now, 



Improvement in rifle shooting commenced as smaller calibers and 

 lighter charges of ammunition grew in favor. From ,45-caliber to ,40 

 was an improvement, clean scores began to be made when the .88-cal. 

 was introduced. The .35-cal. had hardly sufficient time to become 

 popular when the .32 cal. was brought out and the sbootiug done with 

 this bore gun, is admitted by the strongest of big-bore, large-charge 

 advocates, to be equal, and one after the other admit that for 200yds. 

 off-hand or rest shooting, the results obtained with the ,32-cal. 85 

 grains are superior in average shooting to the rifles of larger bore. 



The Massachusetts Arms Co. at Chicopee Fulls, Mass.. deserve 

 great credit for the perfect manner in which they have produced 

 rules of this bore, and being the first to place a .32-cal. patch bullet 

 upon the market. A recent visit to their establishment, revealed the 

 fact that still another and smaller caliber was soon to be offered to 

 riflemen, and filling a want long felt for a long-range tiny-bore rifle. 

 They have now perfected a .22-ealiber rifle, using a central fire shell, 

 which holds ten grains of powder. There is a patched and naked 

 bullet used in this gun, the former weighing 42 grains, The latter i~l£ 

 grains. The shells are everlasting, the one we inspected having been I 



fired over 200 times. In testing the merits of the two bullets, it is 

 fonrd that the lubricated bullets give as good, and it is thought better 

 results, than the patched bullet, 1 can scarcely expect to favorably 

 impress a majority of your readers with the wonderful performance's 

 of this .32-cal. rifle, but helieve I hazard little in prophesying that 

 great popularity awaits this arm. The shooting done with this gun is 

 us follows: 



At lOOvds.. with a 2Pin. barrel, 10 consecutive shots were fired within 

 n group'of 1 and 9-10th of an inch. At. 800yds., with a28in. barrel, 

 10 ConsecuBive shots, all inside of 4 and 4-16 inches, and of the ten 

 shots eight were inside 3 and 4 1(3 inches. In testing the merits of the 

 .shell'-' SO consecutive shots were tired at 300yds.: 40 of the shots were 

 inside of B inches, the same distance was the widest variation up and 

 down of the 50 shots; 18 out of the .id were within a nine-inch ring. 

 There Were two wild shots out of the fifty, which were about twelve 

 niches apart. All of the above shots were with a naked bullet, with- 

 out cleaning, and fired in the open air with quite a little wind. 



lu conclusion I would say that having seen a great deal of off-hand 

 and rest-rifle shooting, I must confess that the above test with a. 22- 

 oaliber compares favorably with any I have ever seen with any rifle, 

 and I am Willing to go a long distance to see it excelled.

THE WILKINS SHOOTING. —Edi tor Forest and Stream: I notice 

 an inquiry from "Wing Shot'' wishing some one to explain my 

 breaking 479 balls out of 500 out of a Bogardus trap at Franklin, May 

 4,1880. The trap used on this occasion was what they called then 

 a Bogardus rifle trap. I sent to Chicago for a spring, but it was a 

 poor concern and did not work very well. It threw the balls about 

 25ft. high very irregular, some sidevvise and some away and toward 

 me. I missed the most of them in the last two hundred as a change 

 was made from brown glass balls to blue, and the sky being blue it 

 was difficult to see them. Had 1 had all brown balls I would not 

 have missed more than ten. The Franklin sportsman club was 

 present with a good many spectators. I shot single bullets, .44-caL, 

 31ft. distant. Some of my franklin rrionds who were there can 

 ■'-.rijtiate the truth of the above. In regard to the 985 halls shot 

 out of 1000, 1 did it at Greenville, Pa., in 1879, Distance 18ft, I did 

 not have a trained thrower, but got a young man, Will Hilands, to 

 toss them in the air. He was i e , - ( ed and threw the balls very 

 ,:ilar the last 5ft). I made 272 without, a miss, shot a .32- cat 

 singleloader, solid ball. The balls were composition, made at Green- 

 ville. There was quite a crowd in attendance.— Otto Wri/Ews
