H T. M., Quebec, Can.— My dog, a colli e, four years old, had an 

 attack of laryngitis a year ago mis sprint'. I blistered his tbraat, 



without much effect. 'hut got him over it hy applying hot linseed 

 uieal poultices to throat for three or four hours, and giving aconite 

 and then tjOUgh mixture. He lias couched more or less since then, 

 the cough generally ending with B gafei This spring he has had what 

 seemed a combined attack of laryngitis aud Influenza. Treated him 

 with the hot linseed, administering aconite and arsenicurn. He has 

 never f.-iiri y shaken off the influenza or catarrh, breathes more or 

 less through his mouth, sneezes, getting rid of mucus, and besides 

 coughing' has now and then a spasm for breath, lasting for a few 

 seconds. Naturally a lively dog, he lias become dull and quiet, ap- 



S cars in fact just as a person does with a hes.vy cold in the head. 

 [e has been a house dog. steeping in the house and accompanying 

 me to the office, but. setting a fair amount of walking exercise. Ans. 

 Your dog seems now to be suffering with asthma brought on by his 

 previous colds and lazy habits. If the dog is not a native it would 

 look as though the climate was too severe. Nothing is so tedious to 

 treat in a dog as chronic laryngitis. Medication does little or no 

 good. Change of climate is useful. Spasmodic asthma or a chronic 

 spasmodic cough is best treated by inhalation of burning stramonium 

 leaves. If the dog is fnt his diet should be lessened and his bowels 

 kept free. Expectorant drugs, such as serpentaria, senega, squills, 

 wild cherry, aud so on, in doses of a teaspoonful three times daily, 

 are sometimes beneficial.

BALL AND BULLET.— Central City, Col.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: I have noticed a rather persistent use of the term ball in 

 articles on the rifle, when speaking of rifle projectiles. Such as 

 ''round ball" "spherical ball," "conical hall, "etc., to sdeh an extent 

 as to be at least a little disagreeable. Who ever saw an elongated 

 ball or a conical one? I submit, would it not be better to say bul- 

 let instead?— Central,. [The objection is not well taken. Ball and 

 bullet are interchangeable.! 



DUBLIN, June 25.— The American Cup, presented by Col. Gilder- 

 sleeve of the American Rifle Team of 1875, to the riflemen of Ireland 

 as a memorial of the first international rifle contest, was won to-day

 champion shot of Ireland for the year. Mr. Joynt stands at the top 

 of the list of the Irish eight at Wimbledon, with a score of 453 out of 

 a possible 500. Mr. Joynt was a member of the team which shot at 

 Creedmoor in 1876. and also opposed Colonel Bodine's American team

Syracuse. June 26.— Five clubs were represented by teams in the 

 shoot at live birds for the Dean Richmond cup to-day. This cup is 

 valued at $1,150, and has been keenly contested for by the clubs of 

 the Association for a number of years. The. Audubon Club was the 

 fortunate one this year, the team, consisting of Fisher, Scheibert and 

 Downs, winniug with a score of 57 out of a possible 60. This ties the 

 highest score ever made in the trial for the cup, surpassing the record 

 in so much that no bird out of the whole number was challenged, and 

 each man has equal claim to the glory of the victory with a score of 

 19 apiece. The complete scores for all the teams are:

There are 20 single birds to each marksman in the match. The. 

 pigeons used were tame biros, and owing to their tossing about dur- 

 ing transport a good many flew poorly, making poor sport in such 

 cases. 



At 3 o'clock contest No. 8, 10 clay -pigeons, 26yds. rise, was called on 

 with a list of 34 entries, containing the names of all the crack shots 

 present during the convention. The scores are: Smith 9, Hudson 9, 

 Baker 9, Wagner 8, Courtney 9, Rieliruond 9, Sill 7, Andrews 7, Had-

 The Onondaga Sportsman's Club came to the front in this, F. A. Elli- 

 ott taking 10 straight in splendid style. He was the only one in Class 

 A, taking first prize, $100. Ed warn" Smith, of the Niagara Club, car- 

 ried off first in Class B. McCormick, of Salma, took the first in Class 

 C. William Scheibert took first ia Class D. 



While contest No. 8 was in progress the off-hand rifle match was 

 also going on in another part of the field. The distance was 100yds., 

 ten shots allowed, each, position standing. The scores are these:

PORTLAND, OREGON. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The annual shooting tournament of the National Rod and Gun 

 Club commenced at City View Park, Portland, Saturday morning, June 

 6. The day was showery, which, however, appeared to dampen 

 nothing beyond the ladies' toilets. 



The value of prizes divided among the five events (twoPeorja black- 

 birds and three clay-pigeon ) amounted in the aggregate to $1,000. The 

 shooting, except in two or three individual instances, was very ordin- 

 ary, and the first portion of live pigeons trapped of the sickest ever 

 introduced into a shooting tournament. 



Walla Walla, Seattle and Vancouver each furnished a team of five 

 men each, the home (Multnomah) club entering teams Nos. 1, 2 and 3, 

 of a like number each. Shooting for the team champion cup, value 

 $100, with photographic yroup of winning team, value §20, added, 

 was restricted to organized clubs of the Northwest, the remainder 

 being open to all. 



The announcement of three matches at live birds drew together 

 quite a concourse of people, for your average Oregonian sees but 

 little fun in shooting at anything unless there's some ■'killing" in it. 

 Besides there had been no live-pigeon marches since the palmy days 

 of the "white house." some eight or ten years ago, when such men 

 as Tex Aubrey (then a resident, and one of the leading spirits here, 

 and now of Walla Walla). Acker, Pretty man, Tom the Gypsy, 

 Stephens, Major Babbitt, Schenck, and a host of others too numerous 

 to mention, were to the fore; when breechloaders (in Oregon) were 

 nearly as scarce and as great, a novelty as are hammerless guns 

 (here) to-day But a decade thins out and scatters the ranks of even 

 such usually long-lived men as lovers of the trigger, and not so many 

 of the old familiar faces were present Saturday as one would like to 

 have seen. National Association rules governed, and more than one 

 old, well-tried muzzleloaderand owner were debarred in consequence, 

 much to the disgust of one or two of the latter who openly declared 

 their ability to "'out-shoot them darned 'britch 1 -loaders, gun for 

 gun." 



Apropos mnzzleloaders, there were one or two of the masterpieces 

 of the gunsmith's art on the ground, notably one by old Win. Greener 

 (father of the present W. W. Greener), in the possession of Mr. J. G. 

 Bliss; a 10-gauge. 9 pound, 32-inch pigeon gun, built especially for 

 trap and wildfowl shooting, many years ago, at a cost (laid down in 

 Oregon) of $275; and the manner in which it bundled some of the 

 many escapes out of the surrounding fir timber, proved conclusively 

 that, as far as killing powers went, it could have held its own at the 

 trap. Judging from the hammerless pieces de luxe in the hands of a 

 few of the most wealthy, high-toned sportsmen, Messrs. W. W. 

 Greener and W. & C. Scott & Sons had each some ardent admirers. 

 Noticeably among the other breechloaders were names of almost 

 every gun maker of the present century, Jiving and dead, from Man- 

 ton and W. Richards down, and if ever dear old Joe Manton, of small 

 bore flint-lock and percussion celebrity, or his honored compeer, 

 Westley Richards, could seethe vicious-looking rattletraps bearing 

 their pirated names, they would turn uneasily in their graves. 



There being upward of 56 entries in the first clay pigeon matgh (7 

 birds each, and 3 minutes grace in which to gather all doubtful birds), 

 it was night ere the programme was half through, so that the remain- 

 der of the matches were shot off subsequently. Following are the 

 scores:
