bye on it and after a snort chase caught it. On being ordered 

 to retrieve he laid down and began to chew the bird, Wei> 

 ster got to his dog as quickly as possible* but alas! all that 

 remained of the bird was an unrecognizable mass of flesh 

 and feathers. When excited, as on this occasion, Webster 

 has a peculiar manner of addressing his dog. He said: 

 "Dash blank your Dash-blanked hide; I've a great notion 

 to shoot your Dash-blanked head oft." 



The Count next made a fine point, to a single, which his 

 handler flushed and winged. The dog was sent to retrieve 



t point ... 



him nicely. Webster approached cautiously, and spying a 

 cotton-tail under the brush in front of the dogs, he blew its 

 head off at about 10ft. distance. After much scrambling 

 and scratching Dash succeeded in getting under the thorns 

 far enough to get hold of the rabbit and draw it forth. The 

 Count immediately seized the game by the opposite end and 

 a tussle began for its possession, which resulted in its being 

 torn in two. This was such a palpable error on the part of 

 both dogs that it could not be overlooked, and while we were 

 debating as to how it ought to be scored the Count lay down 

 and ate his half of the rabbit. 



They next started a jack-rabbit, and away they flew in a 

 race for life and death, the rabbit in the lead, Count second, 

 and Dash a tcood third. A couple of charges of No. 8s sent 

 after them failed to stop any one of the trio. The clogs, with 

 their embarrassing peculiarities being out of the way, the 

 handlers got in some, good work on the birds, making a fine 

 bag. When lunch time arrived we adjourned to the wagon to 

 enjoy that intermission, and see if we could hear anything 

 of the dogs. We found them under the wagon with lolling 

 tongues and panting sides. After treating them to refresh- 

 ments from the end of a stakerope, they were tied to the 

 wagon and left there for the balance of the day, which the 

 handlers put in with the birds. 



After comparing notes on the heat it was decided a draw. 

 The dogs appeared to have equally good noses and each paid 

 about the same amount of attentiou to the commands of his 

 handler. It was admitted that Dash Blank could get furthest 

 into the hedge, but this was offset by the Count's superior 

 retrieving, and as we were not at the outcome of the race- 

 after the jack-rabbit, that event was not taken into considera- 

 tion. 1 am convinced that very few field trials result so satis- 

 factorily to all concerned as did ours. We propose to renew 

 the contest on the first favorable opportunity, when we hope 

 for a larerer attendance and an increase in the number of 

 entries. Parties from abroad wishing to enter their dogs 

 should apply care of Forest and Stream to Guadalupe.

 and Stream : The Bench Show Committee of the New 

 England Kennel Club have completed their premium list, 

 which is to be ready for the public in a few days. The 

 statement is made that it is exceedingly liberal. Some of 

 the more noticeable features of which is the large amount 

 of money offered, the addition of a third prize in all classes, 

 a large money special for the best kennel of not less than 

 four dogs (one owner); and the club stud dog medal when 

 two best of his get are shown; also the insertion of a new 

 rule allowing puppies to be withdrawn on the second day of 

 the show. The list of judges is as follows: Messrs. James 

 Mortimer, Babylon, L. I., mastiffs, St. Bernards, and pugs; 

 John Davidson, Monroe, Mich., pointers, English setters, 

 greyhounds, deerhounds and foxhounds; W H. Pierce,

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



Constant Reader, Frostburg, Md.— The defect will probably 

 not at aU interfere with the dog's usefulness in the stud. Both 

 organs are probably present, one not having descended. 



Rifle.— What had I better give my 3yrs. hound for worms? He 

 is in fair condition, but they appear to annoy Mm and he "passes" 

 them as often as I have observed him? Ans. Diet your hound for 

 24 hours, giving nothing but milk. At the end of this time give 

 one teaspoonful of powdered a reca nut rolled int o a ball with lard. 

 This may be forced into the throat far enough to prevent the dog 

 from throwing it out. After three hours give a thorough purge of 

 castor oil, a tablespoonful. You may commence treatment with 

 a purge also. 



B. F.— My Irish setter seems to be in good health but sheds his 

 hair badly. He does not scratch at all, so the trouble cannot be 

 caused by mange. What shall I do for him? Ans. Give your dog 

 two or three doses of castor oil or two or three of calomel— o-grain 

 doses. Then commence with 5-drop doses of Fowler's solution of 

 arsenic morning and evening in food. Keep up treatment for one 

 month and report. 



M. R. G.— 1. I have a bitch 9yrs. old. She has never had puppies. 

 She is very fat. Would it endanger her life to have puppies now? 

 2. What is best book for breaking or training puppies? Ans. L It 

 would be better to have the bitch thinner. It would probably not 

 endanger her life, however, to have pups. By exercise, cathartics 

 and limited diet you should be able to bring her flesh down. 2. 

 Hammond's book, "Training vs. Breaking," is the best. 



H. S. C— My fox T terrier bitch has been shedding her coat very 

 badiy for the past two weeks; vomits sometimes two or three times 

 daily; at times the matter seems digested, at others indigested, 

 and again nothing but greenish fluid; otherwise she seems very 

 well and lively, but rather subject to shivering for no apparent 

 reason. Ans. Give lOgrs. of calomel in two doses— morning and 

 evening. Diet her, feeding very little meat. Give 5 drops of Fowl- 

 er's solution of arsenic in the food morning and evening for 3 or 4 

 weeks. - ' 



J. S. W., Toronto.— I have a spaniel bitch, 10J£ mos. oid, which 

 will, I suppose, soon be coming in heat. I do not want to breed 

 her. Please say if I can give her anything to shorten the period. 

 Her hair also comes out badly. Is there any way of stopping that? 

 Ans. When the bitch comes m heat you might try ten-grain doses 

 of bromide of potash in solution daily. The best way to keep her 

 from breeding is to tie her up during the heat where dogs cannot 

 get at her. Give five-drop doses of Fowler's solution of arsenic 

 morning aud evening to improve the skin. Keep the bowels free. 



F. E. P., South Boston.— My two beagles stuff up in the nose, 

 and sneeze very hard and almost constantly, especially to ward 

 evening. Otherwise they are in good health and active. The 

 older dog lias been this way for nearly two months, and (he other 

 has just begun. They have a habit of scratching the inside of the 

 ear a good deal, also. There is no smell, and I can see no eruptions 

 nor matter. Can a puppy of 6 mos. have canker in the ear? Ans. 

 Very likelv the puppies have canker. Get the following: Of 

 bromo-chloral and of laudanum one dram each; of water six 

 drams. Mix. Drop a little in the ears night and morning after 

 cleansing. Give four drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic night 

 and morning in the food. Keep the bowels in order with syrup of 

 buckthorn in teaspoonful doses.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



REVOLVERS.— NewHaven, Conn.— Is therenow on the market, 

 or is there likely to be soon placed on the market, a neat, well 

 balanced, well made and accurate shooting revolver, with which 

 satisfactory target practice can be had, whether the target be sta- 

 tionary or moving? I am aware that there are plenty of revolvers 

 now for sal';, but they are all nearly worthless for practical pur- 

 poses, both on account of their general make-up and the ammuni- 

 tion which they use. Many alterations and improvements are 

 needed in both before any degree of perfection can be attained. 

 [There are now on the market revolvers with which accurate 

 work can be done. See report in our issue of Nov. 25. 1880, of 

 work done at Conlin's gallery, this city, with Smith & Wesson 

 and Colt .32cal. revolvers.l

A NEW CREEDMOOR.— A special meeting of the board of 

 directors of the National Rifle Association was held during the 

 past week to hear the report of the committee appointed to ex- 

 amine a plot of ground on Staten Island that has been offered to 

 the Association for a rifle range. For a long time there has been 

 a feeling against Creedmoor on account of the high rate charged 

 by the Long Island Railroad Company, and the great amount of 

 time required in getting to aud from the range. In view of these 

 facts Lieut. Zalinski has been quietly examining several sites that 

 might answer as a rifle range. In his report, as chairman of the 

 commit te, he stated he had succeeded in securing the refusal of a 

 piece of ground containing 100 acres, which he considered admir- 

 ably adapted for a range, and that Mr. Erastus Wiman, on behalf 

 of the Staten Island Rapid Transit Company, had guaranteed to 

 sell round trip tickets at thirty cents each, and also erect a station 

 on the railroad -within five minutes walk of the range, where aR 

 trains should stop. Lieut. Zalinski also stated that he- had' been 

 promised several thousand dollars toward the purchase money If 

 the Association decided to buy the property, and that he .thought 

 the balance of the money required could be raised by an appeal to 

 the public. The meeting adjourned till Feb. 15; in the meantime 

 a. survey of the land will be made, by a Government engineer.
