KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



No Notice Taken ot Anonymous Correspondents. 



J. S. G. O, Toronto.— I have a setter pup five months, old, aud 

 about a month ag.> he lost the u e of his hind legs. He recovered 

 for a time, but now he is worse than ever, as he can hardly walk. 

 He docs not seem to he in pain— appetite good, and lively in 

 sp'rits. 'Would you kindly suggest a remedy. Ans. Give 5 

 drops of the tincture of nux vomica three times daily and 

 have electricity applied along the spine if possible. Look for 

 worms. 



W. B. N. .Gardiner, Me.— My Irish setter puppy, now about 12mos. 

 old, has lately lost his appetite and for the past three davs has 

 not eaten anything to speak of. From the time that he was four 

 weeks old up to two months ago I have fed him on scraps from 

 the table, and though he has never had the appetite that other 

 f ogs that 1 have owned have had, he has eaten enough to keep 

 him in good condition. Two months ago 1 commenced feeding 

 him on dog bread and boiled meal mixed with milk, occasionally 

 scraps from the table. He did not take kindly to that diet and the 

 past few days, as I have said, he will not touch it. Once before 

 he had some trouble with his eyes and now they appear weak aud 

 in the morning I find a kind of thick yellowish matter that runs 

 from them, he appears weak and has not his usual life. He has 

 never been confined much in a yard or on the chain and has pre- 

 vious to this never had any sickness. Can you advise any remedy? 

 And do you think that I ought to feed meat? I think that if I 

 should give him loz. or lib. of meat with his other food he would 

 cat it and leave the rest. Ans. The dog has worms probably. 

 Purge with castor oil, tablespoonful, and follow in 4 hours with 

 30grs. of powdered areca nut made into a pill with butter or lard. 

 Force this clown the throat beyond his control. Feed only milk 

 while treating.

THE INTERNATIONAL SHOOT. -The festival committee of 

 the international Sharpshooters' Union is working hard for the 

 success of the big J uly shooting festi val. It is receiving substan- 

 tial encouragement from clubs and individuals all over the 

 country and is confident that the affair will probably exceed in 

 magnitude anything of the laud ever attempted out side of the 

 "Tir Federal" of Switzerland. Nearly 40 clubs have already 

 signified their intention of taking part, and as the entries do not 

 close for two months, it is thought all the clubs will j .in. At a 

 meeting of the committee on Tuesday evening, March 27, Oscar 

 P. Shaller and Albeit liahn were constituted a committee on 

 amusements and Henry W. Wagner was added to the building 

 committee. 



NEWARK.— The Roseville Gun Club was organized March 20 

 and has acquired grounds near the corner of Grove street and 

 South Orange avouue. The first regular shoot will be held on 

 Saturday at 2 P. M. and on every alternate Saturday thereafter. 



' PROVIDENCE, March 26.— An announcement that Ira Paine 

 the well-known pistel shot, would shoot 100 shots a day at 100yds. 

 for three consecutive days, with a Smith & Wesson revolver, drew 

 trgether a fair attendance at the Narragansett Gun Club to-day. 

 His idea was to show, for three clays, how experts with the re- 

 volver could do very deadly work with that arm against an etemy, 

 and he prososed to show how it could be made most effective. 

 He was to shoot on the first day at a 40in. square target, with a 

 black line, Sin. wide, drawn horizontally; on the second clay, at 

 tbo same target, turned so that the lino runs vertically, and on 

 the third day he will shoot at an American standard target, all 

 three to be placed at a distance of 100yds. The first wi II represent 

 a platoon or company front in a line of battle; the second will 

 represent a single man standing alone, and the third will be the 

 place where a man's heart would be. The distance was carefully 

 measured and found 1 1 be a little, over ICOyds. Each target was 

 nailed to a rest, and at the end of ten shots was takeu down and 

 the distance of each shot measured from the center of the black 

 hue. These distances were measured bv Mr. 11. B. Morgan. of the 

 Providence Steam and Gas Pipe Company, Mr. Gould, of Boston, 

 and were overlooked by a large number of those present. The 

 total of the distances from the center, and the average on each 

 ten shots and the total distance and total average is as follows: 

 „, Inches. Inches. 



First string 32 6-16 Seventh string 26 4-16 



Second string 34 8-16 Eighth string 50 3-16 



Third string 49 2-16 Ninth string 45 13-16 



Fourth string 51 2-16 Tenth string 48 11-16 



Fifth string 51 8-16 



Sixth string 76 12-16 Total lOOshots 486 5-16 



Average per single shot, 4 06-100in. 



When the shooting was over and the distances had been meas- 

 ured, Mr. F. E. Bennett, of Boston, being present and watching 

 the shooting, Mr. Paiue aunouueed that he was read v to shoot 

 any living man for from $1,000 to $5,000, at 1 rom 50 to i'lOyds., or 

 both, with any standard pistol, and at either Providence or 

 Creedmoor or on any grounds where gentlemen shoot, the match 

 to be shot the third or fourth week in April, or at anv time, Mr. 

 Bennett did not, reply to this at once, but finally said he would 

 shoot Mr. Paine for $250 a side. This the Chevalier declared he 

 could not bother with, but if anyone wanted to shoot he would 

 bet from $50 to 8250 that on or before Wednesday his score could 

 not be equalled, or he would shoot 100 shots aud bet the same 

 sum that on the next day it could not be beaten. These bets Mr. 

 Bennett made no reply to, but left and caught the train for Bos- 

 ton, accompanied by Mr. Gould. Mr. Paine used a 38-caliber 

 Smith & Wesson's army revolver, 6J$n. barrel and standard am- 

 munition, aud will use the same each day. The score made to- 

 day, was made small by the heavy wind and storm. 



March 27.— Chevalier Ira Paine continued his trial shoot at 

 military targets on Narragansett Gun Club grounds, South Provi- 

 dence, this afternoon. The vertical target representing a single 

 soldier in the line of action was used, the black center of the tar- 

 get being 5in. in diameter. This took notice of line shots as the 

 target of the day before did of good holding for elevation, in- 

 stead of strings of 10 shots it was decided to make them 20. Only 

 5 targets were used. Mr. Paine said that his proposition for a 

 match, was to shoot 500 shots, $1.' 00 to $5,000 a side and not 100 

 shots as reported. He would shoot an off-hand match, however, 

 with any one who might come forward »ud he would be especially 

 pleased to meet the amateurs. The following are the totals by 

 twenties in the shooting: 



First string 87 13-10 Fourth string 79 5-16 



Second string 130 14-16 Fifth string 85 10-16 



Third string 56 3-16 



439 13-16 



Mr. Paine claims he has demonstrated that a revolver can be 

 used accurately at 100yds., which has always been denied by the. 

 best military authorities. He also staled that not one bullet in 

 the 200 hut the third in the second day's third string would have 

 failed to kill a man at 100yds. 



March 28.— There was a targe crowd at the grounds of the Nar- 

 ragansett Gun Club to-day to witness the third day's shooting 

 by Chevalier Ira Paine. The target used was the standard and 

 the distance was h'Ovds., 20 shots were fired at each target and 

 the scores made were in a possible 200 per target: First, target, 

 121. second, 123; third, 14-t; fourth, 134; fifth. 128; grand total, 651; 

 grand average per shot 6Mj. Of tuese shots 6 were hullseves 

 and 14 were in the 9-nug, while ihe first 10 of the third target 

 stiowed 3 bulls, 4 9's and 3 8's or a total of 00 out of a possible 100. 

 There was not much wind blowing, bu the light was had, and 

 shifting clouds and blue skv alternated in more or less rapid suc- 

 cession, making the shooting rather bad, but still Mr. Paine made 

 a record that will not soon be equaled. 



NEWARK.— Gottfried Snellen, of Our Owns, and John Copper- 

 smith, of the Essex, are conceded to be two of the best gallery 

 shots in this city, met at the Rutgers' range on Tuesday evening, 

 March 27. in the first half of the match for $100 a side. All tne 

 prominent marksmen of the various clubs were present, and thev 

 were well paid for their trouble, as the match was the best indi- 

 vidual contest ever seen iu Newark. The shooting was line on 

 both sides, but Suellen in particular deserves credit for his steady 

 shootiug which equals the best score on record; that made by Air. 

 Dorrier, at Greenville, about three weeks ago. (in Snellen's 

 third string he marie a score which has never been equaled in a 

 match— 12u out of a possible 120. In order to make this score he 

 had to place the 10 shots within a circle of a traction less than 

 ll-16in, in aiameter, at 75ft. On the seventh string he made

THE NEW YORK SHOOTING GROUND. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In "Bedford's" communication in to-day's issue of Forest and 

 Stream the writer has very ably urged the necessity ot a New 

 York stiooting grouud. That sucn a want exists "Bedford" very 

 clearly demonstrates; he leaves little to be said on t^ at head. I 

 have heard the feasibility and practicability of such a project 

 spoken of more than once by brother trap-shooters. From a per- 

 sonal experience and knowledge of trap-shooting and its evils 

 (gambling, betting and drinking), 1 firmly believe that such an 

 enterprise as proposed by "Bedford" could be rendered a source 

 of revenue to its stockholders. There is no doubt in my mind 

 that trap-shooting would be benefited thereby and given an im- 

 petus which would place it where it should be, in the front rank 

 of manly sport. What is wanted at the start is a good head, ably 

 bi«fceJby an executive board of unquestioned ability and in- 

 tegrity. These, with a good, convenient .ground owned or leased 

 by the corporation, wito all the latest and most improved traps 

 I and apparatus, where liquors were excluded and the fair sex ad- 

 mitted, how could such au enterprise be anvthing but a success?
