JOHNNY'S REASONING.— J3cZ«or Forest and Stream: 

 In jonr last issue a correspondent describes the saeacity, or 

 rather reasoning of a setter litch. and asks if any of yonr 

 numerotis readers 'know of an incident tliat is ils etiual. My 

 Clumber spaniel Jolmuy, I Ihink. when sixteen ruonths old, 

 showed as much, if not more, reasoui ag power than his bitch. 

 The follomne,' is the incident: In the house where we lived 

 at the time 'our sitting room orerlookcd the dogs' yard. 

 Johnny always, when he hc;n d nie in the room, wanted to 

 get in and always found ont a ^\-ay of opening the back door 

 and so coming to me. This worked well for some clays, when 

 the other dogs found it out and came up too. Johnny did 

 not approve of tins, as he wanted me all to himself; and next 

 dayinoticed that Miien he came up the others did not fol- 

 low. Wondering at this I went to look at the door, which 

 was shut. No one had closed it^ so T could not understand 

 how it had been shut. Next day I hid in a place overlooking 

 the door, and aw;iit ed developments. In a short time Master 

 Johnny opened tlie dooi', walked in, and then, to my ;istonish- 

 ment, turned rotmd and pushed it to with his nose. Mention- 

 ing this I was not believed, so the dog \vas watched by others, 

 when the .same thing occurred. One day when a Avind was 

 blowing, rendering it difficult to close tlie door, he was seen 

 to jump up against it and pusli it to, lie evidently reasoned 

 that when he opened the door to come in tine others were able 

 to follow, so to prevent this he closed it after him. He was 

 never tauglit to open or to shut doors. The door was fastened 

 with a latch. He also shows great intelligenc in the covert 

 and marsh, where he Is a splendid performer.— Clumber.

WILMINGTON, Dec. 37.— The unpromising condition of the 

 weather this morning augured badly for the usual weekly sport of 

 the local i-iflemen, but the sudden change of the wind toward 

 noon brought in a fine afternoon. There was a fair turn out, and 

 conridcring the cold wind the shooting was very good. The follow- 

 ing are the scores out of possible 100 points, standard tai'get,

BUDD VS. GRAHAM. 



JOHNTSTY ERB, at Bloomfield Road, Newark, New Jersev, saw 

 the largest assembly of lovers of trap-shooting and their 

 friends gathered together since the old-time shooting of Billy 

 Seeds and Jack Taylor twenty years ago. They were from all sec- 

 tions of the country, there bemg hardly a clnb within a radius of 

 100 miles but had its representative. The veterans Males Johnson 

 and Wm. Hughes, shots of forty years ago, were pleased spectators 

 by the side of Bogardits and Stice, of Illinois; Stark, of New Hamp- 

 shire; Eager, of Bo.ston; Ed Hudson and L. C. Smith, of Syracuse, 

 N. Y.; Jas. MoMurchy, of Ohio; Jas. Pilkington, of Oak Point: 

 Mitchell, of Lynchburg, Va.; Hayes, Oavanaugh, Duryea, Sam 

 Cassels, Overbaugh, F. Harrison, Dr. Pindel, Dr. Burdett, Brint- 

 nal and Al Heritage, not to forget the Mayor of Bound Brook and 

 a solid thousand of newer or younger aspirants for honors at tiie 

 traps. All were drawn togetlier to see the long-talked-of match 

 between 0. W. Budd, of Des Moines, la., and Wm. Graham, late of 

 England and a champion. 



They were well paid, for a closer and a more exciting match has 

 not been shot for years. Both, men are keen blackeyed,withnerve8 



of steeh They shot for all they were worth. Three times during 

 the race were thoy tied, and much betting was made. The West- 

 ern men freely backed their ]3et, while those of the East, who had 

 seen Graham's wonderful second barrel, accepted all offers. Budd 

 is a splendid first barrel man, but it ^\as his misfortime to be out- 

 birded from the start until nearly 60 birds had been shot, as the 

 recapitulation will show. They shot Hurlingham rules with the 

 exception of the provision in regard to weight of gun. for Btidd 

 used a Smith hammer] ess, 71bs. 12oz., Graham, a Grant, 71bs. 8oz. 

 Budd shot American wood po^vdc^ mixed in first barrel, black in 

 second; Graham. Schultzc jiowder only throughout the match. As 

 this match resulted in a tie all bets were declared off. Another 

 matcli between these men to take place on the grounds of the Jersey 

 City Heights Gun Club this week was talked of, but it will not 

 come off. 



With even run of birds and use of one barrel only, the Western 

 man would be a decided favorite. Many were the comments on 

 the way Graham holds his gun, left hand close up to and grasping 

 the trigger guard. It looks awkward at the trap; it would bo 

 worse m the field. We don't like Hurlingham rtdes any way— 

 this boring a bird through on the ground with second barrel. 

 Why can not we have a national set of rules for aU such matches 

 to be shot under? Now nearly every club has rules of its o-^vn, and 

 there is often confusion and delay in consetiuence. There are 

 national athletic, base ball and other associations which have 

 rules that are tmiversal thi-oughont the cotmtry. Let us agitate 

 this. Have the different clubs send delegates to a national asso- 

 ciation, where they can adopt rules to be the standard on aU such 

 occasions. 



Wm. Siegler, of Montclair, was the referee, Huiiingham rules 

 calling for no .judges, and a more satisfactory arbitrator never 

 refereed a match. He is an old trap shooter, knowing thoroughly 

 the rules, prompt in his decision and just at all times, there was 

 no chance for any dissatisfaction. Messrs. Ritch, Pense and Eaton 

 were appointed official scorers. Budd's 98th bird lost him the 

 match, lie evidently expected a driver like the others, but it Avaa 

 a straight incomer, and his close clxoke missed clean with both 

 barrels, and the bird sailed in over our heads. Both men were 

 modest and unassuming in their appearance, and there was none 

 of that feeling of bitterness so often the finale of a closely con- 

 tested match. Graham made a good impression upon the Western 

 men, and Budd, if he takes none of the Eastern money with him, 

 will have the respect and hearty good wishes of many who met 

 him here for the first time.
