FOREST AND STREAM, 



[Mat 7, 1885. 



SPRING STYLES.— The latest "fad" with socaetyryoung 

 ladies is a visiting card for their pet dogs. The card is^about 

 an inch long and three-quarters of an inch wide and bears the 



name of the dog with that of the owner, such as "Miss R 's 



pugToodles," or "Mr. 's poodle Smike." I know a num- 

 ber of dogs that received Christmas and New Year's cards. A 

 Rembrandt lace collar is now considered the proper thing for 

 a pug's evening dress, and the silver-blue blanket, bound with 

 gold braid or satin ribbon, is the thing to Wear while walking 

 out. N evertbeless. it looks as if the pug must go ; his popu- 

 larity is on the wane, and it seems very much as if the black 

 and tan or Prince Charles would fill the vacancy his departure 

 will leave. The change is not to be wondered at; the pug is 

 not the most intellieerit of dogs— even the common cur of the 

 streets has more ability to learn ; he can only loot beautifully 

 ugly, learn tricks, and has a moody temper.— Boston Beacon. 



THE CHICAGO DOG SHOW.— The first annual dog show 

 of the Hlinois Kennel Club, will be held at the armory of 

 Battery D, Chicago, on June 2, 3, 4 and 5. The prizes offered 

 are $10 in champion classes, $10 and $5 in open classes, and $7 

 and $3 for puppies. Exhibitors can have cash or medal prizes 

 as they may prefer. The superintendent writes that the special 

 premiums will be numerous and valuable; he also states that 

 the many applications for entry blanks from all parts of the 

 country leads him to believe that the show will be one of the 

 best of the year. Major J. M. Taylor will judge setters, 

 pointers and Chesapeake Bay dogs, and Mr. Hugh Dalziel will 

 judge the remaining classes. The address of the superin- 

 tendent is, L. F. Whitman. 108 East Madison street, Chicago, 

 111. Entries close May 28. 



THE PHILADELPHIA DOG SHOW.— Enti-ies are coming 

 in rapidly now that the New York show has closed, and the 

 members of Philadelphia Kennel Club are assured of a fine 

 exhibition. The display of foxhounds will be a feature of the 

 show, and packs will be kenneled in circular inclosuresin the 

 center of the room. In addition to the main hall of the In- 

 dustrial Art Building an adjoiniug room has been secured in 

 which the toy and small classes will be caged. Thereis a large 

 list of special prizes and more are promised. — Homo. 



ST. LOUIS SHOW.— The report of the St. Louis show in 

 our last issue should have been signed, as it was written by a 

 special correspondent in St. Louis. 



KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 EP~ No Notice Tatoen of Anonymous Correspondents. 



R, A. C, Providence. R. I.— Oan you tell me how to reduce the 

 weight of my black and tan dog? Ans. Reduce his feed and give 

 plenty of exercise. 



E. C. M, Ontario.— A cocker spaniel pup, ten weeks old, has a 

 large lump on the side of the throat, pretty hard. It must have come 

 the last two or three days, as I have not noticed it before. Ans. 

 Shave the hair from the part and apply a "fly blister" or cantharides, 

 with collodion. The latter is the best blister, and should be painted 

 on with a brush. After six hours a large blister will have formed. 

 This can he snipped with a scissors, the fluid evacuated, and the parts 

 dressed with vaseline. 



T. H. H., Norfolk, Va.— My setter dog is about one year old. Some 

 time ago he .showed sympioms of canker of the ear. Was weak and 

 in poor condition at the time, but with good feeding and plenty of ex- 

 ercise the trouble seemed to leave the base of the ear, and I did not 

 see anything the matter for some two months. A dav or two ago 

 while running my hand over his ear he whined, and I found on the 

 very point of the pendulous part of his ear a hard lump about the 

 size of a chestnut. It looked as if pus was oozing out of the ear on 

 < he point, matting the hair and forming a hard lump. At the present 

 time the other ear is nearly asbad as the firstone was. Ihave washed 

 the affected part with soap and warm water, but I think the trouble 

 is internal. The dog is in good condition otherwise, and is casting bis 

 coat. Aus. Continue to syringe the ear two or three times daily 

 with warm water. Having cleansed the ears and dried them, drop in 

 a few drops of the following solution : Bromo-chlorali and laudanum, 

 of each a drachm; water, six drachms, "Mix. Donotuse aglass syringe, 

 and never put anv solid instrument in the ear. Youniay use a syringe 

 for applying the warm water, but use a dropper or camel's hair brush 

 fcr the medicine.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



HAVERHILL. Mass., April 38.— About ten months ago some of the 

 "boys" thought that there was material here for a rifle club, and ac- 

 cordingly a few got together and formed the Haverhill Rifle Club.

 love for the sport, and with their co-operation the club was soon in 

 practice and all interested. Now there are some thirty active mem- 

 bers. We have a shooting house and are generally getting things 

 fixed at the range, so that we are looking forward to many friendly

H. W. Eager had an experience which his associates would like ex- 

 plained. He was shooting -doubles." As he pulled on the first bird 

 he felt an unusual recoil to his gun which nearly lifted him from his 

 feet. As soon as he could recover himself he examined his gun; he 

 found the hammer to the right-hand barrel down, the left np. Both 

 cartridges bad been exploded and both had been punctured.

 Motor line. Friday. April 16, a large number of the club turned .out 

 to participate in the regular shoot, The wind blew a gale, sending 

 the birds some eighty yards from the trap, and preventing old, ex- 

 perienced shooters from scoring, no matter how firm or steady was 

 the aim. Thirteen sweepstakes were shot, and tho feathers were 

 dusted from about 500 birds. The gold medal was won by I. Hoblitt, 

 the following being the score:

SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.— The Dirigo Club held its first regular 

 shoot at Bird's Point, Alameda,"to-day. The match was a handicap 

 at twelve birds each, Hurlingham rules, The club was well repre^ 

 sented as far as the lookers-on were concerned, but there was not as 

 large a number of shooters as was expected. The shooting, however, 

 was exceptionally good, the eight contestants making over BO per 

 cent, of kills. Fred Johnson and Matt Fuller each made clear scores. 

 Johnson has not shot for two years and somewhat surprised himself 

 with his good score. Fuller was in excellent form and never shot 

 better. Hicks aud Hamilton both did good work, the shooting of the 

 former being especially good. Each of them scored eleven good 

 kills. Woodward came next with ten, while Bell took the leather 

 medal with six. The following is the club score: 



Kilgariff 101111011011— 8 Woodward 011111110111-10 



es 110100110111— 8 Bell 001101001101— 6

Hicks 111111110111-11 Fuller 111111111111-12 



A freeze-out was then shot off. There were five entries, and after 

 tieing at six kills each, Hicks and Fuller decided to divide. Not con- 

 tent with so much success, Fuller won the next freeze-out with two 

 kills against Hicks's one and Kigariff's miss, and was again the win- 

 ner of another match with the same men shooting. The last two 

 shoots were at 33 and 36yds. Altogether Fuller killed twenty-eight 

 straight birds. It must, however, be taken into consideration tbat 

 the dav was all in favor of the gun. There was little or no wind dur- 

 ing the greater part of the day, and the weather was quite hot.
