FOREST AND STREAM. 



I Feb. 17, 1887. 



MR, H. WYNDHAM CARTER,— When the editor of the 

 Kennel Review first entered upon the stage of the British 

 kennel world it was as a devoted lover of St, Bernards. He 

 soon undertook the important role of honorary treasurer to 

 the St. Bernard Club, having for a colleague as secretary the 

 Rev. Arthur Carter, who is well-known as a successful St. 

 Bernard breeder and exhibitor, Being of the same name it 

 was often believed they were brothers, but we understand 

 they were not related, 'intiraatelv conn eeted with them at 

 that period were Messrs. Krehl and J. Grant Crawford, both 

 members of the St. Bernard Club Committee. Mr. Carter's 

 long list of difficulties had its commencement in an incident 

 arising out of his club's show. The well-known Swiss 

 breeder, Mr. Schumacher, of Berne, had sent to the English 

 show some dogs which he desired to sell. A reference to our 

 English tiles at this date shows that Mr. Carter became pos- 

 sessed of these dogs, and various serious charges arising out 

 of the transaction were preferred against him. He was 

 twice brought before the committee of the Kennel Club. On 

 the first occasion he was let off with a caution, which men- 

 tioned that he had not been straightforward; but on the sec- 

 ond, he was fouud guilty of discreditable conduct and sus- 

 pended from exhibiting for six months. The St, Bernard 

 Club followed suit and expelled him. With this the flood of 

 his wrath and bitterness burst the gates and poured down 

 upon his former friends. Mr. Murchison, a well-known 

 name in the history of the St. Bernard breed and a member 

 of the Kennel Club, first felt its effects. No charge was to 

 foul to hurl at Mr. Murchison, and in his blind fury Mr, 

 Carter did not hesitate to accuse his opponent of poisoning 

 his dogs. Mr. II, Stephens, the secretary of the Kennel Club, 

 was the next subject for his vituperation, which only ceased 

 when the victim turned upon his tormentor and administered 

 personal castigation. It is said that Mr. Krehl. who at that 

 time conspicuously figured as Mr. Carter's defender, inter- 

 posed in this scene and saved Mr. Carter from the full assault 

 that was intended. Mr. Stephens' only offense had consisted in 

 being, as secretary, the mouthpiece of the Kennel Club's 

 verdict, and because the Rev. Cumming Macdona was the 

 chairman, and the Rev. A. Carter the secretary of the club 

 that expelled him. they also now fell under his lash. His 

 malignity to Mr. Maedona extended to circulating broad- 

 cast pamphlets containing injurious remarks when that 

 gentleman was seeking a seat in the British Parliament, 

 The Rev. A. Carter he held up to public contempt as a cor- 

 rupt judge and an unworthy clergyman. Several other 

 gentlemen in the English dog community shared in the abuse 

 that filled the editorial columns of the Kennel Be view. 

 Messrs. Vero Snow, Gresham, Dalziel, Clement, Sewell, etc. 

 But the greatest surprise came when he turned upon the 

 gentleman who had hitherto befriended him in all his 

 troubles, Mr. Krehl. In this instance Carter finished as he 

 began with the culminating charge of poisoning his dogs. 

 Such frenzied accusations were rendered harmless by their 

 own pitiable ludierousness. Still, the tone of the Ken nel, 

 Review became even wilder when we read that his solicitor 

 had to suffer the insinuation that he had purloined his 

 client's letters. Even public bodies could not escape the 

 e xtravagant suspicions of this distracted mind, and the 

 English post office was chargedwithappropriatinghis letters, 

 money and stamps. Be had succeeded in constituting himself 

 the terror of his surroundings and the dog community. 

 It is related that in the shows be visited of late he carried a 

 swordstick and pistols. His protecting star began to pale, 

 old friends he had alienated and new ones were not to his 

 tastes. The extraordinary immunity he enjoyed from retali- 

 ation, legal and physical, must be attributed to indifference. 

 The nervous few who continued to lend him countenance 

 doubtless did so under the fear that their characters might 

 be the next he would fly upon and rend. Monetary diffi- 

 culties invited the final catastrophe, when, accompanied by 

 a hired gang of men, he forced his way through bailiffs and 

 entered his house. Directly after he appeared at a window, 

 and upon the man who represented his creditor refus- 

 ing to leave, fired at him with a revolver, another 

 man called him a coward for shooting at the first 

 named and struck at him with a stick, then Carter fired 

 down on him, and a shot entering his eye the sight was 

 destroyed. At the trial evidence was brought forward to 

 prove premeditation and he was found guiltv. Then evi- 

 dence was given of former threats to shoot tax collectors, and 

 the judge remarking it was one of the worst cases he had 

 ever tried, sentenced Carter to five years penal servitude. 

 The news came like a clap of thunder to all who had ever 

 heard of him. So terrible is the sentence that many of his 

 victims, the most deeply wronged, are struck dumb. The 

 most charitable construction we can put upon the case is 

 that excitement and spleen must have unhinged his mind 

 as they certainly warped his nature and blasted his career. 

 Those who have met him speak of him as the pleasantest 

 and brightest of companions, boundless in hospitality and 

 generosity. The awful penalty of the law should hush un- 

 kind comment, We will only deplore the condition of a 

 state of society in which such events have been possible.

EXPERIENCE WITH REVOLVERS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Allow me a little space in your valuable paper to inform its 

 many readers, and especially the gentleman from New Haven, 

 who, m the issue of Feb. 3, asked regarding the market of a neat, 

 well-balanced,-- well-made and accurate shooting revolver, what I 

 have found out concerning revolvers by actual experience. I do 

 not wish any one to infer from this that I am engaged in a busi- 

 ness that requires a revolver constantly at band, for such is not 

 the case, but I consider myself one of those individuals who can 

 get considerable amusement out of target shooting (especiaUy 

 when I score several bullseyes), and from this standpoint I wish to 

 be viewed. 



I have been on the lookout for several years back for «uch a 



v « ouly after a great many 

 disappointments. First I bought a pocket rifle, and this cheap 

 concern soon convinced me that it was not What I wanted. The 

 barrel only had three rifles, cr what was intended for three rifles, 

 but to nie and my comrades it looked like a three-cornered hole. 

 1 he trigger pulled at between 8 and 91bs. and the balls would not 

 go through an inch board at ten paces and more, three out of 

 every five struck side ways. This weapon was .22-cal. and gloried 

 in tlie name "Essex," and I sold it at "greatly reduced prices." 



From this I turned to a four-barreled Sharps, then to a Stan- 

 dard, te a "Bulldog," next "Rangers," "Blue and Red 

 Jackefs," Czar" and almost any of that sort vou might name, 

 until, anally my comrades and myself determined to invest in 

 Kemmgton s .o8-cal. two cylinder revolvers. 



We soon decided that the cartridge cylinder was a nuisance as 

 none Of us could hit a barn with it, and so we determined to test 

 the loose-ammunition cylinders to the utmost. At first We loaded 

 tnem lull and bad the same result as with the cartridges. With 



those loads the revolvers had an awful desire to wrench them- 

 selves from our hands, so we came down the scale on the powder 

 and were not long in discovering an equal decrease in the recoil. 

 In this manner we experimented for some time and finally de- 

 cided that between 8gr. and lOgr. of powder was the proper charge 

 for our revolvers, and we procured the smallest powder cans we 

 could and "doctored" them so as to measure this charge, and also 

 provided small brass punchers to seat the bullets on the powder. 



Y*e used round bullets and carried them in tin boxes, bullets 

 well. greased in cocoaimt oil, and with this equipment we did 

 considerable shooting, for the simple reason that it was cheap. 



At this time we were not very much on target-shooting, al- 

 tnough tine shooting could be done with these revolvers, for they 

 were well balanced, and not over-loaded. One of my friends 

 could bit a nail-head at ten paces everv once in a while. 



We spent most of our time and ammunition shooting at fruit 

 cans tossed into the air, at about six puces, and we considered 

 ourselves pretty fair shots when we could show five or six holes in 

 a can out of a round of six shots. For a long time I considered 

 this the revolver of revolvers, and the one I had been looking for, 

 but 1 soon tired of its slowness in reloading, its looks, and for 

 these and several other reasons it soon parted company with me. 

 Ono of my comrades purchased a Smith & Wesson .44-cal. Rus- 

 sian model, and after firing It several times I knew that was no 

 revolver for me, it being the same old storv of too much "kick." 

 After considerable time and trouble I managed to satisfy my de- 

 sire to get such a revolver as I had pictured in my mind as a'good 

 one, and I feel confident that I now have in my possession the 

 king of the revolver tribe, at least of the tribe now in existence. 



I wrote an arms company in St. Louis asking if they could fur- 

 nish me with a Smith & Wesson .32-cai. revolving rifle with the 

 barrel cut off to eight or nine inches in length, and their answer 

 was in the affirmative, which resulted in me having the revolver 

 now about to be described and praised. 



This was only intended for another experiment, but I will now 

 say that if I am not able to become an expert shot with this re- 

 volver I never will with any other. 



This weapon weighs nearly 31bs., has rifle sights that can be 

 elevated to suit distances, and in my eyes it is stvlish, and to my 

 hand it seems pretty well balanced. 



The cartridge I use is S. & W's. .32-cal. rifle, which uses 17gr. 

 powder and 100 lead, about as well-proportioned revolver cartridge 

 as there is on the market, One great advantage of this cartridge 

 is that it extends to the mouth of the cylinder thereby preventing 

 the ball from tipping before entering the barrel. Other advan- 

 tages of this shell are that you can load according to the kind of 

 shooting that you want to do, without using wads, the shells can 

 be earned loose in a pocket without greasing it all over, and they 

 are quickly and easily reloaded. I can also use the small ,32-cal. 

 B. & W. cartridge in myrevolver. Regarding the "well-building" 

 or this, revolver I need say nothing, as everybody knows what 

 Smith & Wesson can do in that line. 



As to penetration, I will mention that I have shot through six 

 Jsin. pme boards, which 1 should think would he force enough 

 for a target revolver. The trigger pull can be hardened or light- 

 ened at will by turning a small screw in the hammer. 



Now for the final and most important part of the business— the 

 accuracy of this revolver. I have not had it long enough to become 

 very expert at target shooting, and I know it will never do any 

 remarkable shooting in my hands, as lam none of the best at 

 this business by a long way, but all you have to do is to hold it 

 right on the bullseye, as fine as possible, making no allowances of 

 any kind, and you may be sure the bullet goes straight. Poor as I 

 am ac a target, 1 have made several respectable-looking scores at 

 12 paces, and have hita center at 50yds. on two different occasions. 

 I always stop shooting when the first two or three shots hit the 

 center for fear of spoiling the target, 



Shortly after procuring ray revolver I saw that S. & W. began 

 to make their ,32s and ,38s with extra length barrels, and one of 

 these I would have had, had I not been equipped already. As it 

 is now, I would not trade even, for I think mine far superior to 

 their common revolver, with or without extra length barrels, as 

 to my mind weight is the most important factor in true shooting, 

 and I surely have it in my favorite. What I would like to see 

 would be my revolver, or one similar, in the hands of a good 

 revolver shot, and lam sure the result would substantiate all I 

 have written about it. 



One word about lubricating. I read of a good manv perseus in 

 your paper in search of something to prevent a rifle from lending, 

 aud to such I would say use more lubricant, as most leading is 

 caused by the balls being too dry or shooting too often without 

 cleaning. I use cocoannt oil, which resembles vaseline very much, 

 to grease the bullets of my re volver and rifle. This nil melts more 

 readily than tallow and I have used it for the last five years with 

 the best of success. In greasing the rifle bullets I do as the Win- 

 chesters advise— only dip the ringed edge, but in mv revolver I 

 use the dry ball and then fill the shell even full of the hard oil. 



I take greater delight in shooting at flying objects with a re- 

 volver than at stationary ones and in this pastime the most of mv 

 ammunition has been expended. Expertness with the revolver 

 in this direction is not so easily obtained as one would think, for a 

 good many things have to be taken into consideration. The hit- 

 ting of a silver dollar at 10 paces with a rifle or the smashing of 

 clay-pigeons with a shotgun are easy compared to the hitting of 

 a dollar at 6 paces with a revolver, I have spent considerable 

 time and ammunition in all three of these branches of shooting 

 and I know whereof I write. Stppo

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



.SPRI NGFIELD, Mass., Feb. 12. — The weekly shoot of the Rod 

 and Gun Rifle Club was tairly well attended to-dav, nine members 

 being at the range aud taking part. The r.hooi ingot 'Jr. Z. C. 

 Talbot with his now Billiard .22cal. c. f. was quite a, surprise to the 

 members present. His rifle was not finished unt il noon, and he 

 caUed at the factory on his way to the range and took it with him 

 and a box of Union Metallic ammunition, .22-10-15, his first string 

 of 10 shots being 61, and his second 83 on the Hinmaii target, The- 

 day was poor for rifle shooting, it blowing a perfect gale, some of 

 the marksmen using -U-i points windage, Mr. Talboi used an open 

 front sight, T. T. Cartwright used a ,32eal. Bullard that had 

 never been fired out. of before he shot it at the range. In fact, the 

 rifle was in a rough state. ,ju-,t as it left the machines, lie used 

 48 grains powder and 18.5 grain bullet patched. He made 8 con- 

 secutive bullseyes the first 10 shots, fired off-hand. The target 

 used was the Hinman, at 209yds.. off-hand.
