 to be announced. The stake to be competed for in the 

 autumn of 1887, in New York; six subscriptions to fill. For 

 the renewal of this stake subscriptions will close Jan. 1, 1887. 

 The stake to be comijeted for at the spring show of the 

 Westminster Kennel Club, New York, 1888, and to be pub- 

 lished in the W. K. C. Premium List, and entiles to the

 judged. Blanks and otier inf oi-mation can be procured by 

 addressing Fred Hoey, Secretary, Long Branch, N. J. 



"AMERICAN KENNEL REGISTER. "-With its coming 

 number the American Kennel Register closes its fourth 

 volume. Its convenience and its value to owners and breed- 

 ers of dogs are shown by the number of animals registered 

 during its existence, and by the fact that a number of fraud- 

 ulent pedigrees have been exposed in it, whose manufacturers 

 might never have been detected except for the vigilance of 

 the Register. Owners who desire to enter their dogs so as to 

 have them in the fourth volume of the Register should send 

 in their entries mthout delay, as at the close of the year 

 there is always a great rush, and no entries can be accepted 

 after Dec. 1. 



CALIFORNIA TRIALS.— Sacramento, Nov. 7.— Next 

 month the Pacific Coast Club's field trials take place, and an 

 interesting and successful meeting is anticipated. Some of 

 the dogs are getting work, while others are awaiting their 

 masters' opportunities to go afield. — Sancho.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



D. C, Schenevus, N. Y.— My hound breathes like a horse with 

 heaves. At tim$s he holds his nose out and pants, and it seems 

 hard for liim to get his breath; does not have much appetite and 

 gradually growing poor, has a bad cough and sometimes coughus 

 until he vomits. Has not been well since last summer, when he 

 had a hard run on a hot day. Ans. Give the dog live drops of 

 tincture of belladonna three times daUy in water. Give five 

 drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic in the food nl^ht and morn- 

 ing.

BREECH VS. MUZZLE. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I have been somewhat amused for the past month or two by 

 reading the various articles that have appeared In your paper 

 under the above heading, especially those by C. L. S. of Fort Clark, 

 Texas, Mr. Burns of Jamestown, N. Y., and Mr. Clapp of Geddes, 

 N. Y. As Messrs. Burns and Clapp have made some statements 

 which I consider susceptible of proof, it might be as well to dis- 

 cuss the matter. Mr. Burns states first, that there were no muz- 

 zleloader hunting rifles used in your trajectory trial ; second, 

 that the Merrill rifle was beaten in acciiracy by 27 oat of 32 breech- 

 loaders used ; third, that the'Romer rifle was ahead of the May- 

 nard .40-cal. just .004 of an inch, that being the difference between 

 5 shots each from the two rifles upon the 100yds. screen in the 

 200yds. range. 



Now I call upon Mr. Burns to state specifically, first, whv the 

 muzzleloading rifies used were not hunting rifles; second, to 

 make good his claim that the difference between the heights of 

 the shots upon the screen at lOOyd.s. in a range of 200yds. shows the 

 accuracy of tlie rifle. 



Mr. Clapp first attempts to turn from the rifles to the ammuni- 

 tion, and claims that if the ammtmition were changed "the re- 

 sults would be that the breechloader would come oat ahead. 

 Just so; there's the rub. Why do not the American makers of 

 breechloaders change the ammunition and use enough of it to 

 obtain flat trajectory and decent killing power? Simply because 

 they cannot without causing their rifles to scatter wildly, as he 

 has correctly quoted from the Massachusetts Arms Company; 

 also to kick severely. That is the rub. The muzzloloader can use 

 most of it \vith good effect, both as to flat curve and accuracy 

 both combined in the same shot. That is just what the muzzle- 

 loaders at the Forest and Stream trial did do, beat in flat curve 

 and accuracy also. Mr. Clapp also quotes from the Forest amd 

 Stream Trajectory Report, and states that he will not impute to 

 it an iota of unfairness or a particle of prejudice. Just so. I will 

 follow suit. He says of the Ballard .40-70, "^'Tliis arm is of the fine 

 close-shooting, patched bullet weapons, and so far as compact 

 bunching of tne shots in the target seemed to be/u?i]/ eqiial to the 

 high charged muzzleloaders in the test. Italics are his. I ^vill put 

 the italics on the word seamed, and then see how it will read. It 

 will be noticed according to that version that the report does not 

 say that it did, but that it seemed to. 



Now comes the conclusion of the whole business. If your corre- 

 spondent had studied the Forest anu Stream's report to find out 

 the facts of tlie case, one-half as closely as he has to find a loop- 

 hole for escape from being beaten so badly by the muzzleloaders, 

 he would have learned many important facts of which I am afraid 

 he is now ignorant. He should also have made a visit to the office 

 of Forest and Stream and inspected the targets, screens, data, 

 etc., of the different rifles used in the trial, which are there on file 

 for that very purpose. 



He would then have learned that the Romer rtfle beat the Bal- 

 lard .40-70 almost one-half in accuracy, about the sam" as it did in 

 trajectory. He would also have learned tliat it beat the Maynard 

 .40 about two-thirds in accuracy, and he has already learned that 

 it beat it for trajectory. 



Mr. Burns would also have had an opportunity to account for 

 shot No. 5 of the Majmard series at the SOOyds. range, something 

 which he has not as yet done. He will find that it was a dropper, 

 flopper, unaccountable or goose egg, as they are variously termed, 

 and that at 50yds. it fell 3.10in. below the mean horizontal line of 

 the other shots. That at lOOyds. it had fallen about 6.30in., that at 

 150yds. it had missed the screen altogether and had to be thrown 

 out, as its trajoctory coi*ld not be obtained and another shot. No. 

 6, iired to make out the series of five. That is a good record for 

 the boasted accuracy of his favorite, 1 out of 5 a goose egg, 2 out of 

 10, 4 out of 20 and so up. The muzzleloaders can and did do better 

 than that. There were no floppers for either of them in their 

 trial. 



Now, a few words in regard to some other statements of Mr. 

 Clapp and I am done for the present. He states that a home-made 

 breechloader made some good shooting, and quotes it in favor of 

 the breechloader. 1 shoiild quote it against the breechloader as 

 advertised and sold in this country. Why did he not give the 

 name of the maker? Was it that of a celebrated muzzleioader 

 maker who lives at Syracuse, N. Y.? Poor recommend for the 

 breechloader, I should say, if it has to be made by a crack muzzle- 

 loader maker in order to get a good one. He also asks why, at 

 Vernon, Vt., no muzzleioader made a string of less than Oin. and 

 his home-made affair at another time and place made 7. Good 

 logic that, It strikes me. Why did be not state what the breech- 

 loaders made in the same trial and at the same time? Not to his 

 purpose, I think. He also makes the unblushing statement that 

 on all the ranges of this country no muzzleioader is ever seen. He 

 appears to read FOREST and Stream partly, not wholely surely, or 

 he'could hard! v have failed to notice the recent shooting of Mr. 

 Wm. Hayes, of Newark, N. J., with his little muzzleioader, mak- 

 ing the best on record, and who is now champion of this country 

 at that kind of shooting. G. J. Romeb. 



RANGE AND GALLERY. 



REVOLVER SHOOTING. 



'■pHE remarkable advance that has been made In rtfle making 

 JL and rifle shooting is about to be repeatedin pistol making and 



Eistol shooting. The ingenuity of Are arm inventors is being 

 rought into requisition, and the demand now is for a revolver 

 that will shoot as well as a rifle at 50, 100 and 200yd8. To obtain 

 this desideratum it will be necessary to have the barrel, sights 

 and ammunition of the pistol as near perfection as is possible to 

 make them. A hirge number of oflicers in the regular and volun- 

 teer military force of Great Britain have turned their attention 

 to practicing with the revolver with astounding results, and now 

 in this country among the volunteer organizations those officers 

 who desire to become accomplished shots with the pistol are giving 

 a good deal of time to practice. We see no reason why a pistol 

 may not be made to shoot with accuracy at 200yds. and do more 

 execution than the best rifle in use 20 years ago. During the com- 

 ing season there are to be some interesting matches, and we 

 look fonvard to some scorea as surprising as those made at short 

 range Avith the rifle. The pistol shooting of the olden timeo, upon 



which such men as Capt. Paul, John Travis and Recorder Hackett 

 made national reputations, is thrown as far in tlie shade nowadavg 

 as the shooting of the old flint lock musket of lialf a century aijo. 



The veteran Conlin is keeping abreast of the t1me.s and iTas' 

 selected a number of the best revolvers now in use for his pRtron.s 

 and the crack shots of the metropolis are trying their hand,? at the 

 various targets. Capt. Ira A. Paine, the champion profes.sional 

 shotgun and pistol shooter, has been making some remarkable 

 shooting at Conlin's gallery. The following are some of the host 

 scores made at Wimbledon with revolvers at 20yds. in the meeting 

 of 1886, with, some of the best shots made in this city in the gallery 

 of James S. Conlin, up to the present date :
