KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



%W No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



Beagle, New York.— A beagle bitch is in whelp. I w T as obliged 

 to send her to a party to keep for me. She lay over all day Sun- 

 day and was not taken out of the box until Monday, 10 o'clock. 

 She was well March 25. W T ill this close confinement in any way 

 injure her whelps or cause the puppies to be born dead? Ans. It 

 is impossible to say; but if she had a comfortable box, food and 

 water, we see no reason for apprehension. 



L. H. H., Bridgeport, Conn.— My pointer, 2yrs. old, has been out 

 of condition about six weeks, though he does not seem positively 

 sick. He is thin in flesh, appetite capricious, sometimes hungry, 

 sometimes not. Eats grass every time he is let off chain. Bowels 

 rather loose and every day or so discharges dark, tarry-looking 

 fluid. Corners of eyes full of mucus, especially in morning. 

 Ans. Give 5grs. of calomel. Drop 5 drops of Fowler's solution of 

 arsenic in the food night and morning. Give a very little meat. 



E. B., Waterford, Mass.— My setter pup, 4mos. old, has been 

 troubled for the last two weeks with her eyes. It began with the 

 ordinary discharges as in common cases of opthalrnia, and I used 

 sulph. of zinc wash, which arrested the discharge, but the eyelids 

 sweUed and dropped so that the eye looked red. I discontinued 

 rhe zinc and the discharges returned. Since then I have used 

 borax and camphor, and still the eyes are swollen and the lids 

 droop and the animal seems no better. She is in fair condition, a 

 little thin, her appetite is fair, spirits good. "What had I better 

 do*? A.ns. It looks as if the trouble was more than a mere local one. 

 You had better purge the puppy with ogrs. of oalomel or a half 

 teaspoonful of syrup of buckthorn or castor oil. Wait a few days 

 to see result of :this. FeSd very'little or no meat. Give bread and 

 milk and occasionally some beef soup with bread or toast.

THE WASHINGTON TOURNAMENT.— At the request of the 

 executive committee of the National Drill, Gen. Sheridan has 

 detailed Col. S. E. Blunt, of bis staff, to have charge of the rifla 

 competition during the great Washington militia driU. The 

 competition will be open to any regularly enlisted man or 

 commissioned officer of the volunteer militia, not, however, to 

 exceed two from any one company, to bo governed by the rules 

 regulating the annual competitions in the regular army, as con- 

 tained in Blunt's manual." Each competitor will be allowed 10 

 shots at 200, 800, 500 and 600yds. Prizes will be awarded on the 

 best aggregate scores. Eight prizes will be offered. First prize, a 

 gold medal and $100; 3 prizes of a silver medal and $75, and 4 

 prizes of a bronze medal and p0. About 100 entries have already 

 been received, and more are expected. The following entries have 

 been made from the District of Columbia : Lieut. J. M. Pollard 

 and Lieut. W. L. Cash, of the Washington Light Infantry Corps, 

 and Lieut. Jas. E. Bell and W. B. Johnstone, of the Continentals. 



NATIONAL RIFLE CLUB.-Tho spring meeting of the club 

 will be held at Vernon, Vermont, May 25 and 36, 1887. A general 

 invitation is extended to all interested in rifle shooting. Any one 

 can become a member and entitled to all the privileges of the 

 club by paying the $5 entrance fee to the match for prizes. The 

 standard weight for rifle barrels being 151bs., all over must give 

 the following odds to the pound for every 10 shots : From 15 to 

 301bs., Min-; 20 to 301 bs., 3-16in.; 30to 401bs., l-16in. Rifles not over 

 lOlbs., using globe and peep sights and shot from shoulder, will 

 receive Sin. on each string. Match to be 5 strings of 10 shots each, 

 time rules, distance 40 rods. Match called at 2 P. M., May 25, and 

 9 A. M., May 26.— John Williamson, President, N. S. Brocklway, 

 Secretary, HeUows Falls, Vt. 



SCHUTZEN AND CREEDMOOR.— The Dullard Repeating 

 Arms Company has just completed a model of the single-shot 

 rifle made by them, in which two sets of barrels fit upon the same 

 stock. With one barrel mounted the weapon is a Schutzen rifle of 

 141bs., with set trigger, having a .33cal. barrel taking a 40-185 car- 

 tridge, and having the regular 18in. twist. In just one minute 

 and 40 seconds T. T. Cartwright had slipped off the barrel by 

 taking out one screw, and by taking out two screws on the trigger 

 plate a new trigger was put on and the weapon was a Creedmoor 

 arm, lOlbs. weight, .33-40-185. Of course the sights may be cbanged 

 as well. While with barrels dismounted, the whole arm goes into 

 a convenient traveling shape. A clever novelty is a stock taking 

 without change of firing pin a .32 rim fire barrel or a .32 centre- 

 fire barrel. 



THE NEW ARMY RIFLE— The Government officials at the 

 Springfield Armory are pushing on with the plan of reducing the 

 army model to a .44 caliber arm. In a recent test of oue^of the 

 new models, the rifling was the three-groove regular depth pat- 

 tern, 1 turn in 15in.. firing a, 875gr. cast canellured bullet with 

 85grs. of powder. There was a pasteboard disc, 1 l-0in. thick, 

 placed loosely between powder and ball; this disc was boiled in 

 Japanese wax. One score made upon a Creedmoor target stood 

 48 in a possible 50, with two very olose centers. 



MANCHESTER RIFLE ASSOCIATION, Manchester, N. H.— 

 The spring meeting will be held May 18, 19, 20 and 31. For pro- 

 gramme address A. B. Dodge, Manchester, N. H.

GRAHAM VS. CARVER. 



MAY 5 saw a big crowd of sportsmen and sporting men at Erb's, 

 Bloomfleld Road, Newark. There were the old and familiar 

 faces always seen at such places, and many others, disciples of the 

 trigger, not only trap but Held shooters, horsemen, dogmen, and 

 lovers of the main, old veterans in all their different walks drawn 

 together to Sfee the battles bet ween the g'ants, the champion of 

 the old country and the new in the handling of the steel tubes. 

 Dr. W. F. Carver had beaten Wm. Graham, the champion of all 

 England, when the Doctor visited England several years ago. 

 Mr. Graham said that he had improved in his shooting and had 

 come over here for the purpose ot proving it to the Doctor; that 

 he had been here some time and was very anxious for a match or 

 mate hes for the championship of the world 



Dr. Carver arrived on the ground shortly before noon and said 

 to Mr. Graham that "he was hot in trim to shoot, that he thought 

 he had given up pigeon shooting, had been on his ranch in south- 

 ern Kansas and had not fired at a pigecn in four years; that he be- 

 lieved he would be all right in a couple of weeks with practice: 

 that these matches were gotten up in a hurry, but that he would 

 give Mr. Graham $50 to postpone them for a fortnight. But 

 Graham wouldn't have it; said he was there for the purpose of 

 shooting, and if Dr. Carver was "a man of his word" they would 

 be shot then and there. "All right," says the Doctor, "you will 

 beat me to-day and perhaps to-morrow, but I propose to stay 

 around here for a few weeks and then we will see. I will shoot 

 you on the terms proposed to-day, 100 birds each, Hurlingham 

 rules. If you win 1 will give you $100. To-morrow 100 birds each, 

 Monaco rules, and if yon are then the winner I will present you 

 with $200. But for the championship I will not shoot under a 

 couple of weeks. I am not in form. I have not a gun to suit me, 

 but L will do the best I can." 



The result of the first day's attempt shows how well the Doctor 

 had diagnosed his own case. He was off to some extent. His gun 

 did not come, and he borrowed a couple of old ones from Mr. H. 

 C. Squires, of New York, one of them the famous "Old Widow," 

 with which he had done such marvellous execution years ago, 

 defeating Graham a number of times, once, we recall, by three 

 birds, again by one ; winning among the 207 matches on the 

 Continent the 37,000 francs at Bois de Boulogne; afterward gaining 

 the wonderful victories over the champion of the Western world, 

 Captain Bogardus. But the old gun had had its day. After its 

 500,000 reverberations, "rimmed, racked and center shaken." it 

 should have been allowed to rest quietly iu Squires's showcase, a 

 relic of the great victories of the past. It not only refused to go 

 off when called upon, but seemed to carry its load all around th \ 

 birds. In the match Dr. Carver had 33 misstires, enough in all 

 conscience sake to throw off any man but one with nerves of steel. 

 Bur the Doctor only laughed and said, "Well, this is rather rough, 

 but I think we will do better to-morrow." 



Graham was cool and collected, as he always is, and killed his 

 birds clean, but he had it aU his own way from the start, and 

 made his best score in this country, 92 birds out of 100, equaling 

 Brewer's score with him at Philadelphia. 



Carver led off. He stands erect at tho score, holds his gun 

 solidly and gracefully, his left hand well forward, calls "Are you 

 ready'/" and "Pull !" almost at once. Graham holds his gun close 

 up toward the armpit, his left baud grasping the stock close to the 

 guard; takes two or three sightings and calls deliberately, "Are 

 you ready?" a pause and then, "Pull !" and the gun cracks almost 

 the instant the bird is up. He killed many of his biros close to 

 the traps. But the first day showed very mediocre birds, weak 

 and slow flyers. It is difficult to get good birds at this time of the 

 vear. The following is the. score :

 incomers and 1 towerer. Total, 93. Dr. Carver had 14 birds from 

 trap No. 1, 15 from No. 3, 32 from No. 3, 81 from No. 4 and 18 from 

 No. 5. W. Graham had 18 birds from trap No. 1, 13 from No. 3, 32 

 from No: 3. 35 from No. 4 and 23 from No. 5. Time of shoot 2 hours 

 and 30 minutes. 



Friday, the 6th, brought almost the same crowd with many 

 more of the same ilk. They come from every direction, south, 

 east and west. We learn that large sums had been wagered by 

 capitalists in New York city on Carver and some of their repre- 

 sentatives were on hand to look out for things. Rather a major- 

 ity of the sporting men on the ground, we think, favored Graham; 

 the betting was certainly in his favor at first; but after 

 the first 50 birds shot at changed to 5 to 3 on Carver. Several 

 thousand dollars were lost and won. Carver shot in splen- 

 did form, his new gun fitting him, and he did some of his old 

 time clean work. He is certainly a graceful and powerful shooter, 

 the best,we think, in the world when he is at his best ; and tho next 

 lew weeks, if he has an opportunity, will see some marvelous 

 feats of his skill and nerve.
