CHICAGO DOG SHOW. 



[Sptscial to Forest and Stream.} 



Chicago, June 2. 



Editor Forest and Stream; •„:**, „™„,-«™„, 



The Chicago dog show opened this morning with pi opitious 

 weather, but about 5 o'clock P. M. we were visited with one 

 of the most terrific thunderstorms that I ever witnessed. The 

 Ughtning and thunder was incessant, and the rain f ell m tor- 

 ££« Rumors of extensive damage by the storm are current, 

 and crave fears are expressed for the safety of vessels on the 

 lake The storm prevented a full attendance in the evening. 

 There are K56 entries, and the qualitv in some of the classes is 

 verv good, makiug the show a fair average in this respect. 

 The judging did not commence until 8 P. M., and only the set- 

 ters "were got through with. It is hoped that all of the judg- 

 ing will be finished early to-morrow. The list of judges is as 

 follows: Major J. M. Taylor, setters, pointers and Chesapeake 

 Bay do S s; Dr. E, C. Franklin, cocker spaniel classes, to be 

 judged by the I. C. S. Club standard, and Mr. J. F. Kirk the 

 remaining classes. Below is a, list of the setter

CALIFORNIA FIELD TRIALS.— Sacramento, CaL, May 

 11 —I believe vou have received ere this a list of the entries to 

 the puppv stakes for this year's field trials of the Pacific Coast 

 Club. The number (seventeen) might just as well be doubled, 

 but a number of owners got mulish and declined to enter at 

 such an early date as May 1. However, seventeen is a pretty 

 fair number for our young club, considering tue fact that so 

 many of our sportsmen (?) go their piles on duck and rabbit 

 do^s It is quite likely that the all-age list will, however, ex- 

 ceed thirty. The grounds for this year's trials have not yet 

 been selected, and it is hoped that the Executive Committee 

 will use good judgment when it acts in the matter. For two 

 seasons the club has tried the plan of camping out m mid- 

 December, an expensive, uncomfortable thing to do. lne 

 trial'; should beheld within live or six miles of some town or 

 village or public inn, where all hands may be accommodated 

 with good beds and well-cooked meals, and where«every vis- 

 itor must pay for what he gets. 1 am told that a man lately 

 from the East has located in Marin county, near to San Fran- 

 cisco, for the purpose of breaking dogs, and that he comes 

 well recommended. If so, Ave may have more systematic 

 work done at our next trials. When found on good ground 

 our quail lie well to the dog, and there is no reason why field 

 trials should not he the leading feature among the sportsmen 

 of this coast within a tew years, or at least when the ducks 

 and rabbits shall have disappeared.— Small-Bore. 



THE MONTREAL HUNT CLUB'S PUPPY SHOW.-The 

 Montreal Hunt Club held a puppy show at the kennels on 

 Saturday. The puppies had been distri buted among the mem- 

 bers and. the families in the vicinity and walked by them. 

 They were all brought in on Saturday, and prizes awarded to 

 those who brought in the best puppies. The farmers' prizes 

 consisted of handsome pieces of silver plate, while the mem- 

 bers received only cards signed by the three judges and Mr. A. 

 Baumgarten, Master M.F.H., and Mr. Hugh Paton, honorary 

 secretary. The following were the prizes awarded m the 

 farmers' competition: Dogs— Mr. Desriviere's Hero first, Mr. 

 Sam Nesbitt's Freeman second, Mr. R. Curran's Falstaff third. 

 Bitches— Mrs. Hughes's Heroine first, Mr. Jeffrey's Harpy sec- 

 ond Mr. W. Henderson's Fairy third. Members' Competition. 

 -Do""-Mr. A. Galarneau's Lasher first, and Lightheart sec- 

 ond °Mr. J. A. Strathy's Traveler third. Bitches— Mr. A. 

 Baumgarten's Matchless first, Mr. Hugh Baton's Fury second, 

 Mr J. A. Stevenson's Hazard third, Messrs. F. Stanchffe, VV. 

 H Rintoul and G. H. Matthews kindly consented to act as 

 iud°es. and their decisions throughout were received with the 

 greatest approval. They selected almost entirely from the one 

 strain, which went to show that the club is in the right direc- 

 tion as far as blood goes. The puppies were very fine and do 

 great credit to those in whose hands they were placed, and 

 the show will doubtless become an annual event.— C. (Mon- 

 treal, Can., May 18). i 



FOX-TERRIER IMPORTATION.— The Monmouth Kennels. 

 Long Branch, N. J., have recently imported from the kennel 

 of Mr. J. H. Murchison, London, Eng., two fox-terrier bitches, 

 Lurette, by champion Spice out of champion Olive, and Doris,

 New York, has also imported from the same kennel the bitch 

 Odette, full sister to the above named Lurette. 



BEDLINGTON TERRIER IMPORTATION.— Mr. James 

 Mortimer, Babylon, L. I., has recently imported from the ken- 

 nel of Mr. S. W. Smith, Leeds, Eng., the Bedlington ter- 

 rier bitch Zulu. She is four years old. and is by Tamar Lad 

 and out of Juno. She is in whelp to Mr. Baty's Tinner. 



GREYHOUND IMPORTATION.— John W. Traf ton, Boston,

INTER-CLUB CONTESTS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I would like to use your valuable columns to speak to my fellow 

 riflemen of other clubs, and ask them whether it is not within our 

 reach to establish a series of contests to be shot at our respective 

 ranges after the manner of telegraphic matches, that will be the 

 means of promoting friendly associations between our several organ- 

 izations, as well as stimulating the interest we all take in rifle prac- 

 tice. 



I would suggest that a series of contests be held to compete for a 

 banner or other prize, whatever the associated clubs might see fit to 

 provide, according to rules, which the same might see fit to adopt. 



I would also suggest the following: That the shooting take place at 

 a distance of SOOyciB- , off-hand ; that no restrictions be made as to style 

 of sights, weight of gun, or pull of trigger; that we use the Americau 

 decimal target; that, ten men shah constitute a team, ten shots per 

 man shall constitute a string or score, and that three scores shall 

 constitute a prize score; that the shootings take place on our respect- 

 ive ranges once each month and within the same week of each month, 

 but not necessarilv the same day, the shooting to take place, how- 

 ever, on an appointed day, and to commence at an appoiuted hour, 

 after which no sightiug shots should be allowed. Ercb club to be al- 

 lowed to select the day of the week and hour of the day for itself, 

 which shall be most convenient for its members. That the prize be 

 awarded to the team making the highest aggregate in a prize score. 

 and held by them three months, or until another prize scoi e shall be 

 completed. 



I would suggest that a detailed report of each shooting, together 

 with the (paper) target, be forwarded immediately to theeduorof 

 the Fobbst ano Stream for publication, to the end that the reports 

 of all competing teams may appear in one issue in their regular order 

 of merit, and that the editor of the Forest ano Stream also act as 

 referee in all said contests. That the prize be returned to him with 

 the report completing a prize score, and awarded by him to the next 

 winners. It will undoubtedly be necessary to select certain officers 

 and in some manner obtain the voice of the several organizations 

 represented for various purposes. 



Will some one suggest a method whereby we may avoid the neces- 

 sity of calling a convention and the necessary expense, alter ding it, 

 at least for the present? Possibly the editor of the Forest and 

 Stream would consent to act as secretary and treasurer, aud such 

 business as was necessary for the present be transacted through the 

 medium of this most valuable paper and correspondence by mail 

 with the secretaries of the various organizations. I think we should 

 be able to start out with at least ten competing teams, which, it seems 

 to me, would make it quite interesting from the start. 



Suppose each team contributes ten dollars for prize purposes, and 

 if other teams, or more properly speaking, clubs, join, let them cou- 

 tribue the same amount, which might afterward be used in some 

 manner calculated to stimulate individual effort, for instance, given 

 in the shape of medals for the highest individual average for a year. 

 It is my mind that local organizations only should engage in this com- 

 petition and that no one mau should be allowed to shoot in two dif- 

 ferent teams. State oiganizations not being allowed to compete. 



I would like to hear the views of others in the matter, I oelieve 

 something of the kind may be done that would add greatly to the 

 interest now taken in rifle shooting and be a means of improving 

 team as well as individual records. Sereno N. Ayres, 



President Chautauqua Sportsmen's Association. 

 Jamestown, N. Y. 



[The idea is an excellent one. It is now carried out iu a limited 

 way between certain of the clubs, and much satisfaction is felt ac the 

 working of this style of match shooting. We would gladly act in any 

 way to further the object which Mr. Ayres outlines in his letter.] 



KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



J^*"- No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



G. H. W., Kalamazoo. —A friend of mine owns a valuable setter dog 

 which for the past tw r o months has had a bad swelling on the side of 

 its throat and just back of its ear. A veterinary surgeon pronounced 

 it swelling of the gland, but since has said he don't know what it is. 

 It has been repeatedly lanced and emits bloody water, but seems to 

 grow worse rather than better. Can you instruct ine as to its cause 

 and cure? Ans. Your doe- has swelling of the glands of the neck. 

 The causes are various. They frequently appear without any well- 

 defined causation, and generally in dogs with a strumous or scrofulous 

 habit. They may come from injury. Your dog needs internal 

 medicine. Get your druggist to make you two dozen sulphide of 

 calcium pills, each to contain one- tenth of a grain. Give one p'H 

 three times daily bidden in a bit of meal. Also get the following; 

 Iodide of potash, one-half an ounce; syrup of sarsaparilla, one ounce.

WHEELING, W. Va.. Mav 31.— The Wheeling Rifle Club went to 

 Pittsburgh. Pa., and shot the third match with the Pittsburgh Rifle 

 Club on the 30th inst., and were defeated, as they expected they 

 would be. The. match wis five men on each team, at 200yds. off-hand, 

 on a Massachusetts decimal target, twenty shots per man. The other 

 two matches were shot on the Massachusetts ring target, but an esti- 

 mate of the scores made yesterday shows that both teams averaged 

 several points more than in either of the previous matches. The 

 Pittsburgh club have improved very much in the past few months. 

 while our team have not done anything since winning the other two 

 contests, and are not any stronger thnn last fall. This defeat may 

 put them to work and prove to be a blessing in disguise. They have 

 the material if they would only practice and get in shape. 



The Wheeling club were so well entertained by their Pittsburgh 

 friends that their defeat did not cause them any uneasiness, and the 

 best of feeling has been entertained between members of the two 

 clubs who will enjoy the friendly contests. During the match there 

 was a very strong wind from three to six o'clock, which carried 



i 330-erain bullets from six to eight inches, and was a provoking 

 element to the Wheeling men, who never had such a wind as this was, 

 as it came up a deep ravine across which the shooting was done, and 

 good holding did not get bulls. One of our team shot with no bullet 

 and scored a goose egg for his carelessness. The men shot alter- 

 nately one from each team, and the "V\ heeling team led from the 

 first round up to the sixth, when it was a tie, and at the tenth round 

 the Wheeling team was one point ahead, and the thirteenth round 

 showed Pittsburgh two points in the lead, and the nineteenth round 

 put Pittsburgh thirty-six points ahead, but the last round gave the 

 Wheeling team a gain of seven points, which cut down the total lead 

 of their competitors to a total of twenty-nine points at the finish. 

 The following are the scores of each team :
