[Feb. 18, 1886. 



THE AMERICAN-ENGLISH BEAGLE CLUB. — The beadle 

 club have sent the. following circular to members :— Dear Sir: 

 To more fully carry out the objects for which we are organ- 

 ized, it seems only proper we should work together to ac- 

 complish them. It is advised that all our members give their 

 support only to those bench show managers (by exhibiting 

 their dogs) who will or have granted our requests by giving 

 the classes named in our constitution, accepting our standard, 

 and allowing our club to appoint (through the president) a 

 judge of beagles. That our requests are not unreasonable is 

 found in the fact that the Hartford K. C, New Haven 

 K. C, New England K. C, New Jersey Kennel and Field 

 Trial Club have given us the classes asked for, accepted 

 our standard and have allowed our club to name the judge for 

 beagles (from among our members) at their.coming shows. By 

 their doing so we have met with success, and what they have 

 done others can do also. In order to secure our just claims we 

 should withhold our support from all bench show managers 

 who will not do the same. We cannot accomplish our object in 

 any other way and we being the ones most directly interested in 

 having proper classes and awards made according to our stan- 

 dard, and by those who are members of the club, we hope you 

 will give us your full support by not entering your dogs at 

 those shows whose managers wili not grant our request. In 

 conclusiou we advise the club to donate special prizes at all 

 shows whose management are in accord Avith us, and set forth 

 in this circular. Ws remain, very truly yours, Dr. C. E. 

 Nichols, Chairman, W. H. Ashburner, F. W. Streeter, A. 

 Winsor, Herman F. Schellhass. Executive Committee. 



THE ST. LOUTS DOG SHOVY.— St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 13.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: The St. Louis Gun Club's third 

 annual beuch show of dogs will be held in Exposition Hall, 

 May IS, 19, 20 and 31. This will give a rest of nearly two 

 weeks after the New York show. The entrance fee this year 

 will be two dollars, the admission at the door twenty-five 

 cents, and the price of the catalogue ten cents. These are 

 three important changes from last year. The premiums will 

 probably be the same as at the New York show. We are 

 waiting to see the prize lists from all the shows before we ar- 

 range ours. Is is too early to promise anything dehnite about 

 specials. We are promised valuable assistance in this line, 

 however, and we believe our list this year will be attractive. 

 No details whatever have been arranged as yet. We only de- 

 cided yesterday to hold the show. As soon as we have any 

 information to impart we will send it to you. We shall try to 

 procure able judges for all the classes, and we hope owners of 

 dogs will help us out with entries. St. Louis ought to be able 

 to secure a very large number of Western dogs alone, and we 

 expect some Eastern entries— if prizes worth winning will 

 bring them. May is a very pleasant month to visit St. Louis, 

 and Exposition Hall is one of the best in America for a dog 

 show.— Geo. Munson, Manager. 



THE PITTSBURGH DOG SHOW.— The twelfth annual 

 dog show of the Western Pennsylvania Agricultural Society, 

 to be held at Pittsburgh next month, promises to be a success- 

 ful one. In addition to the liberal premium list a large num- 

 ber of special prizes wdl be given ; among them are two of 

 $50 each for the best kennel of mastiffs and the best kennel 

 of St. Bernards, each to consist of three or more. Mr. B. F, 

 Wilson and Major J. M. Ta~ lor will judge all setters, Major 

 Taylor the pointers, foxhounds and beagles, Mr. James Mor- 

 timer taking the remaining classes. The entries close March 

 8. Mr. L. F. Whitman will superintend the show. The sec- 

 retary's address is Mr. C. B. Elben, Lock Box 303, Pittsburgh, 

 Pa.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 EP™ No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



J. H. B., Belmont, N. Y.— We thiuk the outlook for recovery in your 

 dog is bad. Probably the spinal cord is permanently injure" from the 

 accident when he was so young. You may try, howevtr. the follow- 

 ing remedies: Tincture of nux vomica, five drops three times daily. 

 Applications of electricity to the undeveloped leg and daily applica- 

 tions of culoroform hn iment. 



J. H. H., Dorchester, N. B — I have a setter dog troubled with 

 mange disease of the perspiring- glands, I should judge from symp- 

 toms. The skin on oack is greatly thickened and the hair keeps 

 coming out. The dog is constantly scratching himself and rolling. 

 Have been treating with arsenic (Fowler's solution), twenty-four 

 drops a day, maximum dose twelve drops morning and night, it has 

 helped him greatly but not cured him yet. Ans. You are giving too 

 much a senic. Give five drops night and morning in the food. A 

 good wash for the skin is composed of sulphur two drams, camphor 

 two drams, glycerine a half ounce, rose water to make eight ounces. 

 Apply locally with soft sponge night and morning and keep the parts 

 soft with vaseline rubbed geutly into the skin. Shake the sulphur 

 mixture before using. 



J.H.B., New Berlin. -Pug dog. two years old, weighs 2tlbs. Do 

 not know how long he has been sick. Does not shiver. Great 

 difficulty in breathing. Bad cough and wheezy. Constipated. Appe- 

 tite good. Persists in lying on his belly. Does not have fits. Matter 

 runs from eves verv little. Scratches himself a great deal. Breath 

 smells very offensive. Nose coJd and clammy. Skin dry. Ans. Give 

 a dose of castor oil or buckthorn, a dessert spooniul to a tablespoon- 

 ful, ac ordmg to effect produced, the object being to secure thorough 

 evacuation of the bowel-. The whole trouble seems io be due to his 

 constipation. After purging, give 5 drops of Fowler's solution of 

 arsenic twice daily in the food. The latter should consist of boiled 

 corn meal with a few bits of lean m a at mixed in. The lood should 

 be served cold and may be boiled with milk if convenient. Do not 

 feed much meat and let the rest of the diet be fluid, milk, soups, 

 gruel , «to. Give plenty of exercise

Tney would like to hear from some glass ball shooters. -Witness. 



CINCINNATI.— BANDLE VS. MILLiER. — We were treated to a 

 great shooting match on 10th inst. by the nbo^e named gentlemen. 

 Mr. 3Iiller has of late been smashing things right and left, scoring 

 last Thursday 79 out of 80 birds, among wnich were 20 pairs which 

 he broke straight. The shooting h the more remarkable as it wa> all 

 done on swift, hard flights ol American clay birds -by far better 

 fivers tuau the Ltgowsky and more difficult to hit. In spite of this 

 brilliant performance and many others neatly its equal. Mr Bandle 

 was only too ready and willing to shoot him a match , agreeing to 

 shoot on Mr. Miller'- own grounds, at his own birds and amoig bis 

 own friends. Mr. Mhler shot a Han ington Richards hainmeilcss 

 10lb.. 10-bore, 32in. barrel gun, loaded with 4 and 4J-£drs. cf powdir 

 and Mi/,/, chilled No. 8 shot; while Mr. B.mdle shoe his old reliable 

 everlasting ParKer. loaded with 3Ji trms. of powder and 1 J 4 z Pitts- 

 burg chilled No. 8 shot, grinding up his oa-ds in a manner that 

 proved conclusively from the very scart that he was behind a terrific 

 shooting guu. The shooiiug on the whole was excellent, some very 

 brilliant shots being made by both. Should Mr. Giles accept Bandit's 

 challenge be will have a good opportunity of snowing what be. can 

 do, and will in all likelihood require both hands to keep even with his 

 man; for ho-vevor well B inalr! may shoot clay buds, he is still a 

 much harder man to match on live ones.
