DOG TALK. 



THE well known champion pointer bitch Water Lily died 

 June 4 from paralysis, bhe was eleven years ofd and 

 was brought to this country in 1881 by Mr. Chas. H. Mason, 

 who showed her at New York that year when she won first. 

 In addition to other winnings sue Wou the champion prize 

 at New York three years in succession from 1883. She was 

 owned by Mr. W. H. Moller ot New York. 



Mr. Chas, M. Nelles, Brantford, Ont., wishes the address 

 of the owner of the cocker spaniel bitch that was bred to his 

 Brant at the recent New York dog show. He also wishes 

 the address of H. W. Lacy. 



There will probably be a dog show at Pittsfield, Mass., the 

 coming tall. 



At the Police Court, Ottawa, Canada, a man was recently 

 sentenced to imprisonment for three months for kicking a 

 puppy and assaulting its owner. 



The editor of Sporting Life advises us that the kennel de- 

 partment of thct paper will not be discontinued as was stated 

 in this column last week. 



Mr. Otto W. Yolger. Buffalo, N. Y., recently received from 

 England a St. Bernard bitch by champion Valentine and out 

 of Bessie II. (the dam of Plinlimmoa) in whelp to Duke of

 which has since died.

Mr. Paul Hacke of Pittsburgh, Pa., is the owner of a pair 

 of Russian wolfhounds, the only specimens known to be in 

 the country. They are built like deerhounds, but have soft 

 silky coats. 



The National Dog Club's committee of management is the 

 strongest combination ever banded together for the benefit 

 of dog owners. The delay was time well spent when the 

 result is noted.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE PAINE- BENNETT MATCH. 



TN the last issue the results of the opening days of the Paine- 

 Bennett pistol shooting match were given. The intention 

 was to have the match go on for six days, each man shooting 100 

 rounds on each day and the grand aggregate to determine the 

 winner. Instead of reaching a sportsmanlike finish the match 

 fizzled away into a disgraceful finish, and what promised to be a 

 fine display of the capabilities of the modern revolver was an 

 exhibition of the wrangling ability of two men, each anxious to 

 overreach the other and not particular as to means. What was 

 done well and what was done otherwise, the day-to-day narra- 

 tive of the match given below will teU. It seems incredible that 

 such a snarl as this would happeu when the men had had so much 

 preliminary experience of trie petty obstacles which each was 

 capable of throwing in the way of the other. Each knew that 

 the other was specially auxious to win the match in order that 

 the record of wiuniag might be blazoned on his posters as a vari- 

 ety show performer, and each iu turn knew that his opponent 

 would rather bring on a tie or any sort of a mismatch rather 

 than pluckily face and own up to a defeat. This last alternative 

 came from a pair of marksman one of whom was afraid of and 

 the other dare not meet adefeat. 



The facts under which the protest of Mr. Paine was made come 

 in for weight in considering the motives of it. So long as he was 

 an assured winner the match went on, but as his young and skil- 

 ful antagonist each day cut down the margin of difference the 

 necessity for some sort of loop hole to escape from the impending 

 defeat was imminent. It came in a protest over the revolver 

 sight:, which, it was suddenly alleged, was out of the regular mili- 

 tary fashion. They were good enough for four days of defeat 

 but not good enough to take the winning place in the match. 

 Any competent judge acting for the protestor would have exam- 

 ined the weapon used by the opposiug party and then and there 

 promptly and at once, before a single shot had been fired, entered 

 a protest, or had it really been desired to have a contest and to 

 have acted in a true manly fashion, to have made the protest as 

 a matter of record and then gone on under that protest to have 

 shot the match. It is not claimed that the use of this or that 

 sort of revolver by Bennett affected Paine in the manipulation of 

 his arm. The questions embraced in the protest could not be 

 affected by the position of the men at the finish, whereas now the 

 question is left in anything but a satisfactory one for adjustment. 

 It is a question whether the silence of Paine for four days of Hie 

 match did not give his binding as well as quasi consent to the 

 use of the revolver with these sights. 



Above the judge who did not judge until it became necessary to 

 break up the match stands a referee who is no referee at all, since 

 his decision was in no wise binding, and a further reference is
