styles the "Collie Fraud of Philadelphia." 1 see in tfie paper 

 for this week that Mr. Comfort says that on Oct. 20 Ferry 

 acknowleaged that his fifth entry, So So. was not on hand 

 durinp- the judpring. Permit me to say that an influentiaL 

 member of tbn club told me this week that Periy up to 

 the very last moment marntaiaed she was pr esent and tms 

 is lioiTie out hv his letter to Mr. Apgar of Oct. 13. As to So bo 

 being too sick to stand up, and only kept at the show at the 

 risk of death, as stated by Perry to Mr Apgar, I can testily 

 that the animal benched as So So was as well as any one 

 could be. I, like others, failed to get the benched So bo to 

 answer to her name, which al] four of the others did readily. 

 To paraphrase Mr. Mason on "Wildfowler," "I know Perry.

ANOTHER CANINE MAIL CARRIER.-The West Shore 

 Railroad train which leaves Weehawken shortly after 6 o'clock 

 every moraing is known as the Montr-eal express. The same 

 train' leaves Albany a few minutes after 2 o'clock in the after- 

 noon, and it is designated the New England express. A United 

 States mail car is attached both ways. The chief clerk on 

 duty this week is W. Wirt Bailey, an old soldier whose face is 

 scarred, the result of woimds received at Gettysburg. On the 

 express' down trip yesterday afternoon a number of passen- 

 gers together with a member of the Freeman's staff, noticed 

 that as the cars whirred pa.st Lewisburg, a little bit of a ham- 

 let situated about one uii.e south of Highland, a mail pouch 

 was thrown from the postal car, and immediately picked up 

 by a big black Newfoundland dog, which could be seen trott- 

 ing off with the pouch as sedately as a deacon toward the 

 post-office. When the train reached Marlborough, postal 

 ^lerk Bailey was asked: ' Does that dog meet you every trip 

 you make past Lewisburg?" "Yes, sir. It has never missed 

 a run, I'aiu or shine. By George, sir, that dosr knows twice as 

 much as some men. He's the mail carrier. All the clerks and 

 i-aiJroad men know him welV'— Kingston Freonan. 



WE SHOULD SAY SO.— A daily paper reports that the 

 membei-s of the Palmer's Island Shooting Club, of Currituck, 

 N. C, are waiting with considerable anxiety the result of a 

 scientific cross of animals recently suggested by Mr. John G. 

 Heckscher of this city, for the purpose of creating a new breed 

 of duck retnevers. The dam of the littei- is a rernai'kable 

 animal belonging to Lieut. William H. Emory, U. S. N., which 

 be secui-ed in the Arctic regions and brougnt home with hun 

 ■on the Bear. The animal has the tail and hind legs of an 

 ■otter, the head of a bear, and body of a dog. It is supposed 

 by the Lieutenant to be a cross between these animals. The 

 siVe of the new breed is Mr. Heckscher's dog, which is a half 

 JNewfoundland and half Enghsh setter. It is thought the new 

 breed will be a wonderful accession to .the x'ace of sporting 

 dogs ot this country.

"Forest and Stream" Trajectory Test. 



nVTEARLY three months a^o, in August last, the PoresT 

 AND Stream announced that it would take upon itself 

 the labor and expense of a trial of the traj(:;ctorie8 of hunting 

 rifles. The question was one of much importance to every 

 man who uses the rifle in the field, and the discassions from 

 time to time in our columns showed that it was a live topic. 

 There was a large degree of uncertainty as to what was the 

 actual trajectory hne .of various makes of open sig: trifles. 

 Many claims had been put forward for this or that rifle, 

 some private experiments had been made, many of tUein of 

 a most interesting character, and their results had been duly 

 set forth in our ptiges. Some more general tests had been 

 made and reports covering them given to the public, but 

 there still remained a gap to be filled by just sucb a set of 

 thorough trials as those conducted by and under the auspices 

 of the Forest and Stream were intended to be. 



The general plan was a very simple one. It was first to 

 call in a competent surveyor and have a range laid out, then 

 to place the actual manipulation of the trials in the hands of 

 an expert who should make a report of the actual figures 

 obtained by him. In this way we hoped to put the result 

 obtained beyond all question of doubt or uncertainty. The 

 details of the trial were many and required much time and 

 labor. 



We invited suggestions as to the carrying out of the tests, 

 and the vast correspondence which at once sprung up 

 showed how much interest was felt in the work. Some of 

 these letters, as far as space permitted, were spread before 

 our readers, but many more were not put in type. Some of 

 the hints given were valuable, others were evidently given 

 under a misapprehension as to what a tra j ectory test really 

 was and what it was that we were striving to discover. 



The task which we have undertaken grew with each suc- 

 cessive day. "A dozen rifles, perhaps, and a couple of days' 

 time on the range," was the first ofl" hand estimate made. 

 Instead there have been over Ihirty rifles, the very pick of 

 nearly a dozen armories and as fine a showing of the perfec- 

 tion to which American small arm manufacture has gro'wn 

 as were ever gathered together at one time. As the work 

 grew, so did the disposition to meet the demands put upon 

 us. We recognized that there were among our readers users 

 of every make of rifle now on the market. One subscriber 

 in the Western plains has a heavy express rifle, using a 

 charge of powder running up to a himdred grains or more. 

 He is particularly concerned to know just how far the bul- 

 let goes above the line of fire in traversing a certain range. 

 Then the army of men who use the smaller caliber weapons ;
