FOREST AND STREAM 



(-July 19, 1888. 



was no use illustrating hunt No. 1, for any one can truth- 

 fully do that for himself by mapping out a square on paper, 

 then pouring ink evenly all over it. The little rabbit inci- 

 dent was too difficult: besides, there are subjects whose 

 aesthetic phases and subtle suggestiveness are rather dissi- 

 pated than assisted by a too realistic pictorial representa tion. 

 I could not illustrate the skunks in the hole because I did 

 not see them; but I think a rough diagram of the coon up 

 the tree in an irritable state of mind will be useful, as it. will 

 enable any one to identify the animal should they ever meet 

 it under like circumstances (see Diagram No. 1). I don't 

 mean to say that the dog on the left (Diagram No. 2) 

 really did climb the tree, but he kept pretending be 

 would do so. aud the dramatic effect was really very 

 fine, as he intended it should be, though I am certain I 

 could not have vexed him more thau by giving him a leg up. 

 The dog on the right is more according to nature, and I 

 know the upper part of the sketch is accurate, because you 

 can count a dozen or more coons there, if you are clever 

 enough. 



T did not sketch this on the spot. I was too much en- 

 grossed watching the movements of my hunter friend Dod, 

 who was shinning up the trunk of the tree. Presently he 

 sang out "Look out oelow!" and then with a D. S. T. down 

 came the coon! Ye gods and little fishes! no words of mine 

 can adequately portray the scene that followed; it taxes my 

 pencil to its uttermost powers to hint even at the main facts 

 of the case, but I have suggested all 1 could of the matter 

 in the accompanying sketch, and I trust 1 will be believed 

 when I aver, that whenever two modes of presenting an 

 occurrence have offered themselves, Jhave ever selected that 

 which was farthest from even the appearance of exaggera- 

 tion; and yet it may be well forme to state only one coon 

 and two dogs were concerned in the scrimmage (see Dia- 

 gram 3). 



When at length it was over, I lifted the defunct coou by 

 the leg saying, "Bets arenowin order; what does he weigh?" 

 and 301bs., 281bs.. 251bs., 221bs., were offered; next day we 

 ascertained the weight was iust'lSlbs. 



At VI midnight, the meeting was adjouned sine die.

 J. W. Orear, Bent. O. Bush. Isaac T. Nobris, Sec'y. 



The constitution sets forth that the object of the club 

 shall be to promote the breeding of Gordon setters, to de- 

 velop and bring to perfection the natural high qualities of 

 the same for field use, to define and publish a description of 

 the true type on breeders, competitors at field trials and 

 bench shows, as the standard by which such Gordons should 

 judged, and to suggest to all field trial associations and 

 shows where Gordon setters compete the names of qualified 

 and proper judges. 



The club shall consist of a president, vice-president, sec- 

 retary, treasurer, and a committee of nine (including the be- 

 fore mentioned officers), and an unlimited number of mem- 

 bers. 



Two members of the committee shall be withdrawn by lot 

 each year, * * * and two new members be elected to fill 

 the vacancies, the retiriug members to be eligible for re-elec-

 quorum. 



The election of the members shall be by ballot, and shall

 clude the annual dues to Sept. 1, 1889. On and after Sent. 1,

 gether with the sum of five dollars as annual dues for the 

 year (current), both of which sums shall be payable at the 

 time of election. 



Subscriptions and donations, entrance fees and dues, shall 

 after payment of all expenses be applied in such manner as 

 the committee may determine in the purc hase of cups or 

 stud medals, or given in money prizes for competition by 

 members of the club at a field trial or dog show to be held 

 under the auspices of the club, or for general competition at 

 any recognized field trials or bench show3 at their option. 



judges at field trials and dog shows (where such judges 

 have been recommeded by the club) shall be requested to 

 send to the secretary the names of such dogs as may show 

 excellency of merit in their field work, or "as approaching 

 perfection in the type fixed by the club as the true standard 

 by which Gordons'should be judged on the bench, and there 

 shall be kept and printed a register of the names, breeding, 

 color aud markings of such dog3 as shall be thus favorably 

 mentioned, together with their special points of excellence 

 as specified by the judges. 



Committee meetings shall be held at least once every five 

 months, and a general meeting of members at least once

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE NEWARK TOURNAMENT. 



DURING the past week the first meeting of the International 

 Sharpshooters' Union has been held at Newark, N. J., and 

 with a very high success. Some of the Volksfest features of the 

 meeting, such as parades, balloon ascensions, etc., were not speci- 

 ally successful, nor were the wind and weather conditions such as 

 would have been selected for high scoring. 



The. gathering of riflemen of the most expert class was a notable 

 one, and the management was so excellent that no competitor can 

 fairly say that he lost any advantage through neglect of those in 

 charge. Those who made up the programme provided for special 

 targets to be used under the N. R. A. rules. The standard target 

 was placed at these ports, and it is significant that while over 

 5,000 tickets were sold for the regular puint targets, but a little 

 over 700 were sold for the distinctly Creedmoor style of shooting. 

 Of course many shots were fired at the Point targets from rifles of 

 Wilis, or under "and with 31 bs. trigger pull, but the difference was 

 a marked one, and shows that the big gathering was a Sehuetzen 

 fest of the best type. 



The Union has been carefully organized. It has elements of great 

 strength in if, and i ts initial step has been so well taken that there 

 is every chance (hot the second meeting in 1889 will see a still 

 larger muster of sharpshooters, each provided with the best out- 

 put of the gun-maker's art, and each primed with all the latest 

 wrinkles about loading and aiming. 



Newark, Julv 9.— The heavy rains of to-day did not prevent 

 the German sharp-hooters from opening their festival in fine 

 style. The Aoademv of Music, where the marksmen make their 

 headquarters, was crowded early in the morning, hut the parade 

 did not start until 10:30, being delayed in the hope that the 

 weather would clear up. The most prominent man in the hall at 

 that time was William Milton Farrow, of Holyoke, Mass., who 

 held the rank of Shooting King. Another prominent man in the 

 hall was Karl Klein, "King of the New York Sehuetzen Corps," 

 whose breast was decorated by a score of handsome gold medals. 

 Geo. Schlicht, of Hoboken, was also conspicuous for the fine 

 decorations he wore. P. Walther, of the New York Zottler Club, 

 was an object of no little admiration with his coat front nearly 

 obscured by badges and medals. Other prominent marksmen 

 present were; Capt. Heinecke, Wm. Hayes, John Coppersmith,
