>"W. S. B,, Jamestown, N. Y-— I recently lost a fox-terrier hitch 

 bmppy, seven months old, under peculiar circumstancos, and 

 Rjfiougbt possibly you might be able to explain the cause. She had 

 "fljeeu eating little for a few days, though the first symptom we 

 noticed was a constant shivering and inclination to keep close to 

 The stove. During the night she seemed restless and the next 

 morning she evinced considerable thirst, but immediately threw 

 \U> on drinking. Showed a good deal of fever, head hot, etc., and 

 f began t reating her for distemper. By noon she had no apparent 

 fever and was sleeping quietly by the fire. At 2 o'clock my 

 mother, who had been working in the same room, wont over to 

 pet her and found her dead— had died without a whimper. The 

 dog was not noticeably sick over two days and did not have a con- 

 vulsion of any kind, or make a single complaint; was of a perfect 

 constitution, had not seen a sick day sinco coming into my pos- 

 HK slon at two months', weighed about 181 bs. An hour before she 

 died her pulse was 180. Don't think the dog was poisoned, indeed 

 know of no poison that would act in that way. Ans. Not possible 

 to say. A post-mortem would have disclosed cause. Possibly 

 poison, rapid pneumonia, cerebral of heart trouble.

The much-talked -of shooting match between Messrs. James 

 Douglas and Samuel Staneland. at 35 birds each for tfJOO a side, 

 came off on March 5 at Dan Blea's place, West Toronto Junction, 

 Staneland winning by the poor score of 14 to 13. The birds were 

 verv lively, but neither man appeared able to do himself justice. 

 Luck was against Douglas, several of whose birds fell dead be- 

 yond bounds. Staneland started off by grassing 5 straight, while 

 Douglas missed 4. The latter subsequently braced up a bit, but 

 could never recover the ground lost at the otitsot. Here is the 

 score:

Montreal, March 8.— The annual meeting of the Montreal Gun 

 Club was held to-night in Victoria armory, and was pretty hot 

 for a little while. It has been known for a long time that there 

 were two rival factions in the club, one of which wanted the club 

 grounds moved to Cole St. Antoiue and the annual fees raised, 

 while the other wanted the club to still shoot at St. Gabriel and 

 retain the old subscription fee. Though not openly announced it 

 was pretty well understood that the split was between the French 

 and English members: the former did not turn up at the meeting 

 in any numbers and consequently the English section carried 

 everything before them and elected their complete ticket, which 

 was as follows: President, A. Ramsay; Vice-President, Geo. 

 Boulter; Sec.-Treas., E. A. Cowley; Captain, C. McEachreau; 

 Committee, Messrs. Atwater, MeCaw and Leach. The question 

 of drafting new by-laws and constitution was referred to the new 

 committee, which is tantamount to making the changes the 

 English faction have been agitating for. A large number of 

 resignations were received, and Alderman Morris informed the 

 meeting that a new gun club will be organized a t once. It will 

 likely be called the Dominion Olub, ahd will in a great measure 

 be constituted of the men who have resigned from the Montreal 



Ottawa, March 9.— The Ottawa Gun Club held a shoot to-day 

 at fifteen birds. Harry Street took the first prize, with 10, B. Roth- 

 well coming second with 9, W. Tracey third, also with 9, A. Stew- 

 art, E. White aud L. Labelle ticing with 8, and A. McPhee killing 

 6, This evening the club had its annual meeting, and elected as 

 officers: Dr. Bell, President; Alexander Stewart, Vice-President; 

 H. Streetfieid, Captain; C. Chubbnck, Secretary-Treasurer; Dr. 

 Mepher, Baldwin Tracey and Roth well, Committee; Labelle and 

 Davies, Auditors. The club is doing well, and will send two 

 teams to the St. Hubert Gun Club tournament. 



The first shoot for the gun presented by Messrs. Enos, James & 

 Co., of Birmingham, through Mr. Charles Stark, of Toronto, to 

 the West Toronto Junction Gun CJub will take place at Dan 

 Blea's grounds on Tuesday next, the 13th inst., at twenty Canada 

 blackbirds.

Miller took diamond badge. Johnson gold badge. Roll with S 

 to Pudnoy's 4 took silver badge. Monson with 5 to Williams' 4 

 took corduroy hunting coat. Sickley, leather gun case. Conover, 

 corduroy hunting pants. Duncan, canvas hunting coat. The 

 hoys all enjoyed themselves. The day was cloudy ahd the light 

 rather poor, which accounted for some of the lower scores, 

 especially that of Mr. V. Say re, whose eyesight is getting dim on 

 account of his age. Although Mr. Say re is nearly eighty years 

 old, he makes remarkable shooting on a clear day, and takes as 

 much fun out of the recreation as any of the younger members. 

 The match had been about, completed, and Mr. Roll, the president 

 of the club, had won the second prize, a, handsome gold badge, 

 when Id, the arrival Of Mr. Johnson, who had been detained by 

 his train, put a nervous expression upon the face of the over 

 joyous Roll, as Johnson is considered one, of the best shots of the 

 club. He shot his score of 25 birds in seven minutes, without 

 leaving his place, and breaking 32 out of the 25, thus depriving 

 Roll of his second honors and adding one of the many exciting 

 events to the day. Several sweeps were shot, double and single 

 birds, and excellent scores made. Hot, coffee was furnished free 

 on the grounds, and with the warm club house everyone was com- 

 fortable. 



SYR ACUSE, March 3.— The Auburn and Onondaga Sportsmen's 

 clubs shot a match this afternoon for the second time this season. 

 The stakes wero suppers for the teams. A few weeks ago the 

 Onondagas went to Auburn and were defeated and to-day they 

 turned the tables on the victors at the Valley range in this city, 

 and ate a, supper at the expense or Auburn later in the evening. 

 The match was a close and exciting one, Syracuse winning by 

 only 3 points. One mouth from now a final match will be shot tot 

 Auburn, when the question of the best two out of three will be 

 considered aud settled. The score to-day .was: 



Syracuse. Auburn.

THE REMINGTON SALE.— The resale of the Remington 

 Armory at Ilion, with Hartley & Graham again the purchasers, 

 this time at $200,000, an advance of 47,800 over the. bid at which 

 the property was knocked down to them at the sale of Feb. 11, has 

 been the subject of considerable discussion among the gun trade. 

 Ex. -Gov. W. C. Squire and ex-Senator Warner Miller, were the 

 trustees of the svndicate formed to bid the property up to about 

 twice the figure at which it was sold, unless Hartley & Graham 

 would agree to continue to run the works in place of dismantling 

 them, as has been reported. Wm. W. Reynolds, of the firm of 

 Hartley & Graham, who represented the firm at, the sale, said that 

 everything was now settled, and that upon the approval of the 

 sale'hy the court, the firm would enter into possession. There 

 would be no further opposition to the confirmation of the sale, as 

 the syndicate had withdrawn its objections. Mr. Hartley, the 

 senior partner, said: "We wrote a letter to the syndicate, giving 

 our promise to run the works at Ilion. and not to dismantle them 

 or to remove any machinery except to replace it with later inven- 

 tions. We intend to run them as a business concern, to make 

 money," 



BOSTON, March 7.— A large crowd of trap shooters was early at,

STANDING OR LOWERING RIGS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In my last I asked "Paddle" to enlighten us. on the reason why 

 in the international race the crew of Pecowsic, that had not 

 enough sail, did not get down on his knees and change for larger 

 ones,' and thus show that the claims made for this style of rig 

 could be upheld in practice. "Paddle," in answer, comments on 

 what he is pleased to call my dense ignorance and piteous appeal 

 for light, and yet refrains from enlightening us on the point 

 Wherein our; ignorance bay. With reference to the Humher Bay 

 experience, Dotterel reminds me that when starting out we sailed 

 until the wind got too light, when sails were lowered and paddles 

 resorted to. "Paddle," says, "Now, just think what would have 

 happened if he had had standing sails, Why he would just have 

 stowed them and rode the storm out." Yes, that reads very nicely, 

 But in the first place, I could not have stowed them, as I have a 

 iff. air chamber in the bow of my canoe that would not admit th« 

 Standing masts; and in the second place, even if the air chanibei 

 had not been there, the space on each side of my centerboard was 

 filled with grub box, dunnage bag, etc.; in the third place, there i* 

 not one canoe in a hundred that has room to put standing sails in 

 when cruising stuff is on board. Where, then, are the claims inacU 

 regarding the advantages of this style of rig? "Paddle" brings out 

 his horn, of victory and makes the air ring with its loud blasts 

 proclaiming all sorts of advantages for the standing rigs, and 

 then in the next breath, without a blush, he says that Mr, Barnej 

 is discarding the standing rig— for what?— for what "Paddle" evi- 



. 1 . i o-i ,::i.ers a second-rate rig, i. e., a hoisting one. It is sat- 

 iefactaon enough for me to learn that the originator of the rig is 

 kicking it overhoard after two years' trial, and taking to what 

 I have been advocating, not because I advocated it, but because 

 he found by experience that it was best, and I presume it is the 

 same with his canoe. Just one more point. "Paddle" says when 

 vour sails are nicely stowed, just sit low, and with a few strokes 

 of the paddle head your craft up into the wind and wait. Only a 

 person who had never been within a thousand miles of II umber
