E. S. M., West Winsted, Conn.— My setter dog bites and seraf .dies 

 himself a great deal. I cau find no fleas or any eruptions, though 

 in some places there is a redness. His hair also comes out. badly. 

 His health aud appetite seem all right, His chief food is meal 

 pudding and milk. What can I do to prevent his hair falling out? 

 Ans. Keep bowels free with compound cathartic pills, one at a 

 dose hidden in a bit of meat. Give five drops of Fowler's solution 

 of arsenic morning and evening in the food for three weeks. 



J. G. S., Brooklyn.— A hound puppy 9 weeks fell out of bed two 

 weeks ago oue morning, and in the evening he was very sick, and 

 the next morning he could not walk without dragging his hind- 

 legs. None of his joints are out of place or broken. His forelegs 

 are all right. Urine keeps coming from him all the time. Ans. 

 Rub along spinal column and legs twice or three times daily for 

 fifteen minutes. Give five drops of tincture of nux vomica morn- 

 ing and evening in water. 



J. W. G. D., Philadelphia.— My pug dog, age 4 years, is losing 

 his hair. 1 have been giving him Fowler's solution of arsenic for 

 two weeks, from three to nine drops daily, without any apparent 

 benefit. His appetite is good, hut Ms stomach is out of order, with 

 foul mouth and other signs of impaired digestion. He is fed on 

 milk, potatoes, bread, and a little animal food, from the table 

 twice a day. He usually loses his hair in the early summer, but 

 at this season of the year has always had a perfect skin and fine 

 coat until this winter. Ans. Have a dozen pills made up. each to 

 contain one grain of calomel and two grains of the citrate of iron 

 and strychnine. Give one morning and evening.

THAT JAMESTOWN CHALLENGE.— Jamestown, N. Y.- 

 Ediior Forest, and Stream: Please allow us to answer Messrs. 

 Warner & Lowe's letter of Jan. 9. In our challenge published in 

 your paper of Jan. 29 we said nothing about muzzle or breeeb- 

 loading guns, hut the editor called the challenge "a muzzleloader 

 challenge." We do not bar any kind of gun made hy W. <£r. L. 

 They claim that they make a better shooting rifle, either muzzle 

 or breechloading, than can he procured elsewhere. We are not 

 so conceited nor presumptuous as to say that H. V. Perry makes 

 a better shooting rifle than all others, but we do claim that with 

 Perry's make of guns we can heat any three, four or five men that 

 will shoot W. & L. make of guns. They wish to reduce the num- 

 ber to two on their side. Our challenge is three on a side. We 

 are willing to add one or two on each side, as the more there are 

 on a side, the more I borough the test will be. They do not accept 

 our offer to pay one-half of their expenses if they will come to 

 Falconer Crossing, but say "if we will come to Syracuse, (and pay 

 our own expenses) two of them will shoot against three or mere 

 of us, and that they do not wish to call in the assistance of their 

 neighbors." There are many line rifle shots in Syracuse and that 

 section, and if those fine shots believed that no one is equal to 

 W. & L. in making a fine shooting gun they would not have to be 

 "called in." but would readily come in, as men are ready to do on 

 our side. We accept their proposition to shoot the match under 

 the rules of the old N. R. C. that meets at Yernon, Yt., so far as 

 rest and weight of guns are concerned, and we will meet them 

 half wav, which will be at or near Le Roy, and will meet them 

 May 8, the time they propose. As to the money, we will furnish 

 that as soon as the conditions of the match are agreed to, and wc 

 do not question their honesty and ability to do the same.— J. 

 Robert Moore, Ben. Garfield, H. Y. Perky. 



OWENS VILLE, Lid., Jan. 31.— There was a full attendance on

NEWARK, N. J.— That Newark will he the scene of t he grand 

 National Schuetzenfest of 18.88 is now a settled fact. At the an- 

 nual mooting of the Newark Shooting Society on Thursday even- 

 ing last, the matter was carefully considered from all sides, with 

 the result that the society finally decided to undertake the man- 

 agement, of the Feat, and July 2 to 7 inclusive were decided upon 

 as the dates. Flattering encouragement has been received from 

 riflemen from almost every State and Territory in this country, 

 and even from a number of European experts. The chances are 

 that the number of entries will exceed > hat of any similar affair 

 ever held in this country. The shooting will be open to all com- 

 ers, and there will be no provisions made b.v which, as in previous 

 contests held in the West, the prizes will he arranged in such a 

 manner that none but local cracks have any chance to win a good 

 prize. A meeting will he held in Lehmann's Hotel, Feb. 24, to 

 arrange all preliminaries, and invitations have been sent to every 

 shooting society in the country, requesting each one to send dele- 

 gates. The. shooting rules aud programme will also be arranged 

 at that time. At Thursday's meeting the directors wore instructed 

 to set to work at once to raise a guarantee fund of $25,000 to cover 

 any deficit that may occur. It is the intention to offer a very 

 large list of prizes, in order that all may have an equal chance. 

 Several alterations will be made in the Shooting Park previous to 

 the Fest, one of the most important of which will be the erection 

 of a number of new targets. At least thirty targets will he re- 

 quired to accommodate, the largo number of marksmen. 



DAYID VV. JUDD.— The death was announced on Monday last 

 of Mr. David W. Judd. He had been ill of pneumonia but a few 

 days when his sudden demise came as a surprise to many friends 

 and acquaintances. He was of New York, but had just finished 

 his course in Williams College when the war took him to the front 

 as a correspondent, and for nearly 30 years he has been connected 

 with publishing in various capacities. In 1872 he went to the 

 Legislature from Richmond county, and it. is due to his exertions 

 in the Assembly that the Directors of the National Rifle Associa- 

 tion were enabled to get from the State the capital necessary for 

 the purchase of Creedmoor. From the start he was a life member 

 and for several years he was an active director of the Association 

 and before retirement from that was made an honorary director. 

 He had a keeu appreciation of the importance of a well armed 

 and efficient hody of shooting militia. The Judd prize, the lead- 

 ing off-hand match at each fall meeting, was named in his honor 

 and in recognition of his services at the formation of the Associa- 

 tion. 



PROY1DENCE, Feb. 2.— All was in readiness at the grounds of 

 the Narragansetfc Gun Club, at Providence, to-day, but F. C. Ben- 

 nett, of Boston, failed to put in an appearance. Chevalier Ira 

 Paine offered to give $1,000 to the poor of Providence and Boston 

 if Bennett equaled either his score of 904 or his own alleged score 

 of 914. Mr. Paine now claims that his title of champion is undis- 

 puted. 



NEWARK.— At the annual meeting of the Newark Shooting 

 Society last, week the following officers were elected: President, 

 Christian Feigenspan; Vice-President, William Hayes; First 

 Shooting Master, August Begerow; Second Shooting Master, J. 

 Coppersmith; Treasurer, Julius Stapf; Secretary, L. E. Musehl; 

 Board of Directors, H. Schiener, F. Haefli, F. C. Watts, Albert 

 Seitz and A. Yolheye.

ESSEX— EASTON MATCH.— Newark, N. J., Feh. 4.— Editor 

 Forest ami Stream: In last issue "Skipper" gives an account of 

 the Essex-Easton match, in which the incidents are not over 

 drawn, save in the summing up. I can only speak for myself, and 

 having no special interest in any gun or powder, I believe in giv- 

 ing credit to whom it is due. The seven shells used hy me in the 

 match referred to were selected at random from tweuty-five 

 loaded to order by Messrs. Von Lengerke & Detmold at their store 

 in this city, and I hardly presume they would violate principles of 

 good faith by filling them with powder other than as ordered. 

 Not being a scientist or an experimentalist, I am just "old fogy" 

 enough to stick to a "good friend," be it American wood powder 

 or an L. C. Smith gun. I am inclined to think "Skipper" has been 

 misled by the sharp, cracking report caused hy the deep snow on 

 the ground, or through erroneous information as to the powder

WILLIAMS A r S. FLINT.— The pigeon shooting match for a 

 silver cup, between "Mr. Williams" and E. E. Flint, of the Car- 

 teret Gun Club, was shot at the club grounds, Bergen Point, N. J., 

 on Feb. 4. The conditions were 50 birds each at 30yds. rise, 50yds. 

 boundary, ties at 5 birds each. The weather was very bad, with 

 rain failing and freezing from the start. There was but little 

 wind, however, and as the birds were a very strong lot, they had 

 to be well hit to kiU. The shooting as a whole was very good and 

 at the end of 10 birds was a tie, at 8 killed, the 2 misses by each 



1 bird at 30. At 35 they again tied, each having killed 30 birds, 

 after which Mr. Flint made a bad break, and in loosing 4 birds it 

 gave "Mr. Williams" such a lead that he won the cup by a score 

 of 44 to 38, having killed his last 13 birds very handsomely:

The shooting was specially clean and good, for, although the 

 boundary was 50yds„ ail of Flint's killed were gathered inside the 

 21yd. boundary, while of the 44 killed by "Mr. Williams" only 2 

 were gathered beyond the 21yds., namely, 1 each at 35 and 50yds. 

 "Mr. Williams" shot with a Greener gun weighing TMbs. and 

 with Ely salmon-colored shells charged with 3J4drs. of Schultze 

 powder and l|4oz. of No. 7 shot in the right and No. in the left 

 barrel. Mr. Flint's gun was a Purdy, hammerless, weighing 

 7iilbs., with Kvnoch oaper shells loaded with SJ^drs. of Schultze 

 powder and lJ4oz. of No. 7 shot. Mr. Jas. B. Metcalf was referee. 

 The birds were gathered by the dogs Dell and Phil. Time of 

 shoot, 1J4 hours. 



match was the rubber. The conditions were the same in all 

 three, viz.; 100 birds each at 30yds. rise. 21yds. boundary, from five 

 ground traps. The weather was a decided contrast to' that of the 

 previous Saturday. It was clear and, for a February day, warm. 

 Inere was really no wind to affect the shooting in anv sense, and 

 as the biros were a good strong lot, the large crowd present fnearlv 

 all persbna] friends of the two shooters) were treated to one of the 

 oesj exlnmnons of trap shooting ever witnessed in this country,, 

 and one that could not have been excelled at anv of the crack 

 OtiiDS in England or on the Continent, and had it been shot at 

 Monaco the two Americans would have found backers against 

 shooters sojourning there. The match opened with Mr. Flovd- 

 JOlies at the. score, and from the very first bird the shoot became 

 one of great interest, and as neither missed in their first ten the 

 excitement ran high. At the 12th bird Mr. Flo vd- Jones scored the 

 Hrstmiss-it was a fast, driver that fell dead 'just over the Slvds. 

 ooanoary. Murphy continued, with a clean, score to the. 23d bird, 

 when a strong towerer was able to reach the 80yds. boundary. He 

 also missed the next bird, a very easy incomer.'and as Mr. Flnvd- 

 Jnnes lost his 25th bird at 80yds., the first quarter of the match 



St, f . ,V, j V - T a "i laxc nuinu iii nan me matcn was, 

 Murphy 44 to Y loyd- Jones 43. In the second half of the match 

 the traps, which are automatic, worked very badlv, much to Mr. 

 Murphy s annoyance. He held his lead, however, and at 80 birds 

 he still led by 2 birds, although losing his 54th bird through the 

 fault of the dog who chased it. into the 35yds. boundary. In the 

 3 ^g e . s . M ' - Floyd-Jones gaineeta bird hut soon lost it again, and 

 at ip birds Mr. Murphy again led by 2, the score standing 63 to 61, 

 witn Murpny s friends offering to feack him at §100 to 350. There 

 was no change at 80 or at 85, each missing I bird in each 5. In the 

 next a. however. Floyd-Jones gained a bird, and at 90 the score 

 Stood <f. to <4, and as Murphy missed his 93d bird the score was a 

 n-"r, ,v l V excitement became intense, and as Murphv missed his 

 Oath bird Floyd-Jones led one bird. The partisans of both men 

 could scarcely be kepi quiet, but there was no wrangling, both 

 4°A£. r t S R ? I ? arf Sf5 Promptly at the score. They killed "their 96th 

 and 97th birds. Mr. Floyd- Jones lost his 98th. Yf Murphv killed 

 he score would again be tie. He failed. It was a hard 'case of 

 luck, for a fast quarterer to the right fell dead at 35yds. Mr. 

 1 loyd-.lones then killed two fast drivers, and as Mr." Murphy 

 Blissed his last, Floyd-Jones, amid the cheers for "Old Long 

 Island," was hailed winner by a score of 83 to 81. It was a great 

 shoot, and one that showed Mr. Floyd-Jones as possessing the 

 greatest nerve, he shooting as it were an uphill race from the very 

 start, For not only was the New Jersey party confident, hut the'v 

 made no disguise in saying that Murphy was the best amateur 

 Shot iter that ever faced a trap in this country, and although de- 

 tected after having the victory, as it were, in his hands, no one 

 congratulated the winner more cordially. The match was for 

 §1,000 a side, and the. betting was very heavy, especially on the 

 street, and there will be a good many checks drawn this morning 

 which will have to be credited to expenses. The score bv killed 

 and missed is as follows: 



Floyd-Jones. . .11111 11111 10 111 lllll 11110 

 lllll lllll 01011 10101 10011

 lllll 110 11 11011 10110 1101 0-81 



From the above it will be seen that Mr. Murphy made the best 

 run. 22, to Mr. Floyd-Jones's 13. The worst breaks were one of 

 two. birds by Floyd-Jones and three of two birds bv Murphy. Of 

 those missed, each shooter had three fall dead at 35yds., and one 

 each at 50 and 80yds. The absence of wind caused a' majority of 

 the birds to fly away from the crowd or to rise straight up. Many 

 were killed within a few feet of the traps, both gentlemen doing 

 wonderful shooting with t heir first barrels. The score by traps is 

 as follows: Mr. Floyd- Jones— From tran No. 1, 16; from No. 2, 24; 

 from No. 3, 17; from No. 4, 28; from No. 5, 15; total 100. Mr. Mur- 

 phy—From trap No. 1, 22; from No. 2, 18; from No. 3, 16; from No. 

 4, 27; from Nc. 5, 17; total 100. Mr. Floyd-Jones had the personal 

 assistance of a well-known amateur shooter in "Mr. Stanwix." 

 and Mr. Walter Murphy, as on the previous occasion, was looked 

 after by his brother. The guns and she 1; were the same in weight 

 and charges as used last Saturday, aud m proof of the excellent, 

 cartridges used, it can be said that there was but one misfire in 

 the three matches. "Mr Clifford," of the Kennel Club, was 

 referee, aud he had almost a sinecure, for there was not an appeal 

 made during the match, and he only called one "no bird," which 

 was on Mr. Murphy. Of the shooters Mr. Floyd-Jones called two 

 and Mr. Murphv three. The dogs Ralph and Phil did the gather- 

 ing, and the time of the shoot, was 2b. 28m. Amcng the interested 

 spectators was Miss Annie Oakley, famous for her rifle and trap 

 shooting both in this country and England. She received much 

 attention at the hands of the members of the. Carteret, Club, and 

 as she early expressed herself in favor of Mr. Floyd-Jones, she 

 was well pleased by his success. 



CARTERET GUN CLUB— The third shoot for the Carteret 

 Gun Club's winter cup took place at Bergen Point. Fob. 1. under 

 better auspices in the matter of weather than the first two. The 

 day was clear and not very cold, with an entire absence of wind. 

 The birds, however, in the first live rounds were very poor, which 

 made the shooting much below the club's standard. Afterward 

 the birds and shooting improved, and with "two misses out" there 

 was soou a reduced number of shooters. The end of the tenth 

 round showed three ties, with Mr. Sands shooting on his first en- 

 try and Mr. "Williams" and Mr. Flint each on his second. The 

 last named went out almost immediately, he failing to stop a fast 

 driver. Mr. Sands and Mr. "Williams" then shot even up to the 

 fourteenth bird, when a fast driver that fell dead at the fence 

 ended Mr. Sands's chance, and as Mr. "Williams" killed, there 

 are now three separate claims on the cup, viz., Mr. Floyd-Jones 

 on his first entry, Mr. W. H. Sands on his second and Mr. "Wil- 

 liams" on his thud. The conditions and result of the day's shoot- 

 ing are as follows:

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28.— This afternoon a small party of 

 sportsmen, who had sickened of hunting the valley quail through

 "white" rock pigeons. 



The opening engagement was at 10 live birds, 30yds. boundary, 

 for a $20 consideration, between Clough and Paxton. The latter 

 won by grassing 9 birds to Clongh's 8. 



The second shoot was at 15 single clay birds, 16yds. rise, $2.50 

 entrance. Pools $10 and $5, taken by O'Beirne and Schultz. The
