KENNEL MANAGEMENT, 

 t5F~ No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



N. V. K., Savannah,— A cocker spaniel bitch is at times troubled 

 •with a spasmodic cough with efforts to throw off something, but with- 

 out success. About a year ago ishe is fifteen months old), she had a 

 slight attack of distemper, and I thought this cough might proceed 

 from that, but sometimes she is free from the cough while at others 

 it is very troublesome. If you can suggest a remedy you will oblige. 

 Ans. Give your dog five drops of tincture of nux vomica, with two 

 <drops of dilute hydrocyanic acid in a teaspoonf ul of sweetened water 

 two or three limes dailv. The trouble is a chronic bronchitis, proba- 

 bly the result of the distemper. 



H. C. W., Brooklyn. — A pointer has mange. Have used Glover's 

 mange cure with good effect, except upon hip, where there remains 

 raw and inflamed spot about the size of a half dollar, which she con- 

 tinues to bite. Have used plentifully of above lotion without appar- 

 ent improvement. Have also given two doses compound car'thartic 

 pills. What treatment would you advise? Ans. Dust the parts care- 

 tfttfty with calomel powder every other morning. On the intervening 

 days apply the balsam of Peru ointment to the raw spot. Keep this 

 treatment up until the spot is healed. You may be obliged to muzzle 

 the dog to keep him from biting himself. 



C. P., Paterson, N. J.— Your dog seems to be suffering from some 

 form of chronic myelitis or meningetis, or inflammation of the spinal 

 cord which gradually induces paralysis of the limbs and parts helow 

 the seat of the trouble. Other symptoms would be, gradual wasting 

 of the muscles, lack of sensation in the parts below, troubles with urin- 

 ation and the bowels. Has your dogs these symptoms? Also upon press- 

 ing along the spinal column, do you find any spot where tenderness and 

 pain are present* If you find such spot, shave the hair over it and 

 apply a fly blister which your druggist will make up for you. For 

 internal medicine we would advise bromide of potash in ten grain doses 

 tiiree or four time? daily. Keep the dog quiet and in a dry warm 

 place away from noise or excitement. Report in ten days again. 



T. C. "Williams, Germantown, Pa.— My setter pup, seven months 

 old, had the distemper slightly in the"beginning of the fall, but he 

 seemed to have recovered entirely from it.. About a month ago he 

 had a slight attack of mange. He is constantly vomiting and has an 

 intense thirst. His bowels are loose, but regular. He is very lively 

 at times, but sometimes will stop in the middle of a romp and shake 

 his head violently. At first I thought it might be canker and treated 

 him with a solution of nitrate of silver and water as given by "Stone- 

 henge." Ans. Be very careful of the diet. Give chiefly fluids, milk 

 with limewater, soups without fat, etc. Give a little finely chopped 

 ■raw meat mixed with the white of a raw egg. For medicine give a two 

 grain citrate of iron and strychnine pill three times daily. You can 

 conceal the pill in a small morsel of meat. If the dog has canker 

 •drop the following into the ear twice daily: of bromo chloral and 

 laudanum each a dram, of water six drams. Mix. 



C. T., Mendon, Mass.— I have a pointer dog eight years old, weighing 

 seventy pounds. Last fall he hunted all the fall through. During 

 $he last of the season all four of his feet were quite sore, the hair 

 wore off the outside toes and then festers came. 1 thought that after 

 lie stopped hunting they would get well. I took him out to-day to 

 •exercise him, and when he came in his feet looked as bad as ever, 

 this is the third time he has been off the chain since Jan. 1, and then 

 •only for a short run. I think he must have a humor. I feed him on 

 Korn meal, oatmeal, potatoes and beef scraps. He has good quarters 

 though kept in a barn, and has never been pampered in regard to 

 tood. Is now very fat, though during the hunting season was only in 

 fair working order. Can you tell me what to do for him? Ans. Wash 

 your dog's feet in strong solution of salt water, or in weak ammonia 

 •water, night and morning. Do not do this if there are running Sores 

 T)ut use balsam of Peru ointment until the sores are healed and then 

 apply the above. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



CORSICA, Pa., Feb. 9.— I was using a .38 Winchester and a .22 Win- 

 chester. In company with three others we tried the .22-cal. long 

 Winchester at l&Oyds., and found that with the Rocky Mountain 

 sights elevated to the full limit (300yds. elevation for large calibre) 

 our balls carried up to the 8-inch bullseye, penetrating it (heavy card- 

 board) and heavy inch pine boards, striking a snow bank some 70 

 paces beyond. Shooting over the snow we found our balls near 

 together at 425 paces from the point of shooting, and penetrating 

 about 12 inches along in the snow crust. One of the balls had cut a 

 brier stalk, yet reached the distance of the other balls. This we sup- 

 posed to be caused by sighting less finely. Our marksmen here think 

 them remarkable shots for so small a caliber. I deem them remark- 

 able in point of regularity and extent of range.— S. A. Saxman. 



BOSTON. Feb. 20.— There was a large number of riflemen present 

 at the range at Walnut Hill to day, hut owing to the very bad weather 

 conditions but few scores were completed. During the day a team 

 match was shot between members of the Massachusetts Rifle Associ- 

 ation, sides being chosen, which resulted in a victory for Capt, Fel- 

 lows's team. Appended are the records of the day:

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Feb 16.— The weekly shoot of the Rod and 

 Gun Rifle Club was not so well attended as those of the previous two 

 weeks, and the shooting was not as good as usual, on account of the 

 high wind. The American badge was shot for and is held until the 

 next meeting by T. T. Cartwright with a score of 09 out of a possible 

 100 points, Hinman standard target. The scores were:

WORCESTER, Mass., Feb. 17.— At the contest this week with the 

 South End Gun Club Series for five prizes to be contested for at six 

 consecutive meetings, the best score was 19 out of a possible 20, the 

 weather as well as the light being unfavorable. It is the desire to 

 have the exact standing of each man kept a secret as far as possible 

 until the end, but it is generally understood that they stand in about 

 the following order: E. T. Smith and Arber Houghton first, Perry 

 and Wm. L. Davis second, M. O. Whittier and R. Jones third, J. B. 

 Tougas and Cyrus Holden fourth, M. D. Gillman, B. Franklin, Cowen 

 Doone fifth, W. R. Deane, Hudson and C. S. Day sixth, C. H. Parker 

 seventh, McAleer eighth, Morse. Jewettt, Goode'll and Quiaibv ninth. 

 H. W. Webber, E. S. Knowles, E. T. Swan tenth. 



LEOMINSTER, Mass., Feb. 17. -Two scores have recently been 

 made at; the range of the Leominster Rifle Club which are said to be 

 as good, if not better than any previous score on the standard Amer- 

 can target. The first was by F. A.Whitney, a total of 93, the required 

 number of witnesses not being present, a score could not be allowed, 

 but E, M. Rockwell has made a score of 91, which can be claimed as a 

 score. 



QUEER PRIZES.— The Volunteer Service Gazette has been at pains 

 to make up an account of the novel prizes frequently offered by the 

 British tradesman anxious for the advertisement of' the rifle range. 

 Four Lancashire barbers offered as prizes for the winners in a recent 

 military match a "shampoo for twelve months;" while a fifth tonso- 

 rial artist added, as an incentive to excellence in shooting, a year's 

 haircutting. Another prize, from a farriar, was one service of horse 

 shoeing. The local dentist, not to he outdone in generosity, contrib- 

 uted one half set of artificial teeth for the best marksmaii. Other 

 instances of recent prizes for British sharpshooters, collected by the 

 same authority, are "a fish supper," from a fishmonger, and a ban- 

 quet of "tripe and cowheels." A member of another corps won a 

 prize In the shape of a pint of ale daily, to be drunk on (he premises. 

 In one of the local volunteer companies of Worcester was a most 

 curious conglomeration of articles— such as a pair of braces and a 

 bed quilt; while potatoes, big loaves, shirts, coal, wall paper, plum 

 cake, etc., are presented, along with the usual supply of spirits and 

 beer. But to crown all, a corporal in the corps becomes the winner 

 of a frying-pan. 



A RIFLE CLUB LEAGUE— The Boston Herald says: "Riflemen 

 throughout the country are considering a plan for forming a league 

 of ride clubs, with the object of shooting a series of matches through- 

 out the spring, summer and autumn of the present year. The shoot- 

 ing is to be clone upon home ranges, and sufficient number of matches 

 to be shot to determine the amount of skill possessed by the several 

 clubs. The general adoption of the standard target by most of the 

 clubs of the country makes it possible, for the first time, to have com- 

 parisons of skill. 



A WRONG CONCLUSION— The riflemen of France and Belgium 

 are indulging in a lively discussion as to the amount of practical 

 knowledge to be gained by long-range military rifle contests. A ma- 

 jority ieems to favor confining the matches to those in which the 

 national military arm may he used, claiming that the skill obtained 

 with the regular arm will prove of far more value to the soldier than 

 a knowledge of how to procure finer work with a superior but less 

 practical weapon. 



BOSTON POLICE CLUB.— A number of officers of the police force 

 of Boston are excellent rifle shots, and an effort is being made to in- 

 terest a sufficient number to organize an association similar to the. 

 one now in existence in San Francisco. 



THE BRITISH RIFLEMAN is having a glorious time writing grum- 

 bling letters about the change of caliber in the army rifle. 



THE TRAP.

INDIVIDUAL CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST. 



THIS celebrated diamond badge, originally donated by the Ligowsky 

 Clay-Pigeon Company, made by Tiffany & Co., of New York city, 

 was first won at the first international clay-pigeon tournament, Chi- 

 cago, 111., May. 1884, by C. M. Stark, of Exeter, N. H.; secondly, by 

 Benj. Teipel, of Covington, Ky., at the second international clay- 

 pigeon tournament, New Orleans, La., February, 1885; thirdly, by 

 Mr Brewer. Philadelphia, at the tournament of the National Gun As* 

 sociation, at Springfield, O.. May. 1885. With the view of keeping 



same as an annual trophy before the American sportsmen, the Lig- 

 owsky Clay-Pigeon Company, of Cincinnati, O., has resolved to re- 

 deem the 'diamond badge, April, 1887, for $350; that said badge be 

 donated anuually as the U. S. championship at clay -pigeons, under

 handicap has been assigned to him, shall shoot at 18 for singles and lo 

 for "doubles." The General Manager may at any time change a con- 

 testant from one class to another. Any contestant may shoot in nine, 

 matches only if he sees fit, or, if he shoots in twelve matches he may

 of the shoot in any section to such day as may more conveniently 

 suit the shooters in said section, provided that a general tournament 

 shall have been arranged for said place and date. All scores must be 

 witnessed by at least two of the judges and referees present at the 

 sosoting. who must certify that the scores were made according to 

 the rules of the National Gun Association, Should other prizes be 

 offered for this contest the shooting shall be "class shooting"— ties to 

 be determined at a general meeting to be held at such place and time 

 as the General Manager of the Association may fix. The contest shall 

 be open to any bona fide resident of the American continent. 



Each contestant shall pay for bis own clay pigeons; additional 

 sweepstake purses may be. formed between contestants shooting 

 together. 



When any one desiring to contest has through lack of information or 

 any other reason abstained from entering the various matches, he 

 may, with the consent of the executive committee, still enter within 

 three months of the close of the contest, when the executive com- 

 mittee shall fix nine distinct days upon which he may make his 

 scores to be transmitted to them. 



Every contestant should notify the general manager National Gun 

 Association fhat he has entered the contest even though he only 

 shoots once: this will enable him subsequently to challenge the 

 winner during the ensuing year. 



The executive committee of the National Gun Association shall be 

 the final judge as to whom is the winner of the medal; if, in their 

 estimation, there has been any fraud or unfair conduct, or breach of 

 the rules on the part of the nominal winner, they reserve the right 

 to award the medal to the next highest contestant, who in their 

 estimation, shall be fairly entitled to the same. 



When the medal is awarded to the winner, he shall give a bond 

 to the National Gun Association, that he will hold same subject to 

 challenge for one year (or until May 1, following), under the following- 

 conditions: That he will accept a challenge from any reputable 

 American sportsman (not barred from the National GunAssociation) 

 at such time and place as he, the winner, may name, provided that 

 he must name the time to be within 30 days of the date of the 

 challenge, or within 80 days of his last acceptance; and that at said 

 contest any other challenger shall be allowed to contest, though he 

 need not admit more than ten, and shall not be bound to shoot of tener 

 than once a month: when he fixes the date and place of the contest 

 he must notify each person who has challenged him at once of the 

 same, and also the date of the ensuing contest when fixed. 



Each contestant must shoot at 50 singles and 25 pairs double 

 Ligowskv clay pigeons, either Nos. 1 or 2, National Gun Association 

 rules. The challenging contestants must pay for the clay pigeons 

 and expenses incurred by the challenged party in bringing traos to 

 grounds, trapping, etc. 



The winner shall send the scores made to the general manager of 

 the Association, as also to such sportsmen's papers (at least one) as 

 he sees fit. 



Onlv those who have entered the Championship match can challenge 

 the winner; another entrance fee of 81. 00 must be paid to the National 

 Gun Association by all challengers, who are not members of the 

 Association (though one entrance fee only need be paid for the 

 entire year). 



Whoever wins the greatest number of times during said year or 

 less, when the medal is open to challenge, shall be entitled to the 

 medal and the title of "American Amateur Champion Wing Shot for 

 the year (1887):" the original winner need not surrender the medal 

 until' April 15, 1888, (and subsequent winners one year theieafter); at 

 this date he must forward the medal for redemption 0. O. D. per 

 express, with the privilege of examination, to the Ligowsky Clav 

 Pigeon Co.. Cincinnati, Ohio, the original donors, who will redeem it 

 for $250, to be transmitted to the successful challenger or partv who 

 has fairly won it from the original winner, and who will be duly 

 named by the National Gun Association Executive Committee. 

 Should the ultimate winner prefer to keep the medal he can do so, 

 when the Ligowsky Company will at once order a duplicate to be 

 forwarded to the general manager National Gun Association, to be 

 by him forwarded to the new winner of the previous year. 



N. B— Organizers of tournaments are advised to embody this 

 match in their programmes yearly, as this will doubtless prove a 

 valuable feature to all shooters. 



BERGEN POINT, N. J„ Feb. 18— A series of pigeon-shooting

CARTERET GUN CLUB.— The holiday on the 22d was enjoyed as 

 usual by the clnb. with a good shoot for valuable prizes. The range 

 at Bergen Point was in good order, while the day was all that could 

 be wished for shooting. The details are as follows: Subscription cup 

 at $5 each, 10 birds, handicap rise, 3 misses out, 50yds. boundary. It 

 had 10 shooters, of which Williams and Henry tied at 9 birds. In 

 shooting off Williams got a fast incomer which, although filled with 

 shot was able to get over the safety line and fall dead. Henry then 

 killed an easy towerer, which gave him the cup, Williams taking the 

 second prize, a picnic hamper filled with glassware. The full score
