A BIT OF BOG CHARACTER..— That a clog's bark is 

 sometimes worse than his bite is proverbial; it is not only 

 true that very few clogs will attack a man who resolutely 

 ignores thorn or appears indifferent to their presence, but 

 many dogs which when chained will spring on the intruder 

 and act as if they only wanted the opportunity to tear him 

 to pieces, will behave very differently if by any oversight 

 they allow you to conic within their reach unchallenged. 

 As an illustration I once went to a friend's tent unmindful 

 of the fact that he had a bulldog chained near the entrance. 

 With mind preoccupied 1 entered the tent, got what! wanted 

 and left without even noticing the dog iu his kennel, but at 

 the distance of three paces from the tent I was startled by 

 the savage growl of the dog springing at me from behind 

 and struggling. to get at me. I had just time to congratulate 

 myself that I was beyond his reach, when the chain snapped 

 and the fierce brute which had probably never considered 

 what was the correct course to pursue under the circum- 

 stances, turned around and sneaked back to his kennel.— 

 C. F. A. 



A CARD FROM MR. NAYLOR.-Chicago, June U.-Edilor 

 Forest a n d Stream : Hy your permission of space I wish to 

 make an open apology to* Mr. Kirk for the offensive language 

 I used toward him at the Detroit show. While I do believe 

 it has been overdone in some of the papers, I am willing to 

 acknowledge the corn, and do not forget the part of a gentle- 

 man, nor will I criticise any of Mr. Kirk's decisious, but will 

 leave the past dead. 1 canuot bear malice toward man, and 

 aoisorry my quick temper should have run away with my 

 heretofore good judgment. A mule is allowed one kick and 

 a dog one bite before, they can be considered vicious; and I 

 think Mr. Kirk will overlook this one kick of mine, as I have 

 no ill feeling toward him. Bench shows are a kind of family 

 reunion where many friends meet, and sometimes good men, 

 like "Philip," go wrong.— John H. Navlor. 



GREYHOUNDS— Caldwell, Kas.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: I have had quite a number of inquiries from owners 

 of greyhounds through the Eastern States, asking me to take 

 their 'dogs and fit them for the coming meeting of the 

 American Coursing Club, Oct. 17, at Great Bend, Kas. I 

 have all the dogs of my own I can possibly handle, and at- 

 tend to my business at the same time, so it is impossible for 

 me to take any. But I have prevailed on the secretary of the 

 club to take charge of all the dogs that may be sent him at a 

 merely nominal charge. Any owner of greyhounds, by ad- 

 dressing Dr. G. Irvin Royce, Topeka, Kas. , can have his dogs 

 trained to slips and put into proper condition, worked on 

 jack rabbits, entered, run in the races and returned at the 



£ roper time. I have become a citizen Of Kansas, and the 

 .andseer Kennels will be located at Caldwell, Kas., here- 

 after.— Dr. Van Hummkll. 



FOX-TERRIER SHOW. — Long Branch N. J., June 20.— 

 Editor Forest and Sprearlk May I trouble you for space in 

 you'r paper for the announcement by the American Fox-Ter- 

 rier Club of their second annual bench show, which will be 

 held at Newport, R. I., some time early in September. It is 

 proposed by the bench show committee to give even a more 

 liberal premium list than last year, and we hope to receive 

 the support of all fox-terrier fanciers. Arrangements are 

 being made with a prominent judge and exhibitor in Eng- 

 land to come over and officiate in the ring. Until the list 

 appears I shall be most happy to give any information 

 necessary to all who may desire it. On behalf of the club, I 

 am instructed to thank your staff for the kind consideration 

 shown us in our first undertaking. — F. Hoey, Sec'y. 



WESTERN FIELD TRIALS DERBY. — Ed itor Forest 

 and Stream. I inclose corrections for Derby entries of W. 



F. T. A., published June 2 in Forest and Stream. If you 

 will kindly publish you will greatly oblige some of your 

 patrons, and place under obligation, R. C. Van Horn. 

 Trinket's Countess is by Croxteth. Jill was entered by W. 



G. Mellier, Kansas City. Hattie West and Van Horn were 

 sired by Brush, Jr. Laddie, Samuel S. and Ollie S. were 

 entered by W. T. Bowdre, Memphis, Tenn. The dam of 

 Miss Glee is Nell of Efford. Rene S. was entered by Will 

 Davidson. The unnamed English setter • (Roderigo— Lady 

 Rake) is Silk B., owned by J. W Besserer, Bozemau, Mont. 



BOGUS MEDALS.— Horn ellsville, N. Y., June 20.— -Edi- 

 tor Forest, and stream: I wish to say that the statement 

 of C. B. Elben is false and misleading. I have furnished 

 medals for two shows, and I know that, they were gold and 

 silver. I have also won medals at all the prominent shows 

 since 1SS0. I have had them all tested, and none were bogus 

 or counterfeit except what I got at Pittsburgh. One cham- 

 pion badge from Chicago is very light and thin, cost about 

 $2, still what there is of it is silver. I have one hard look- 

 ing medal from the Cleveland Bench Show Association, but 

 it is not engraved and I do not know when or where 1 got 

 it,— J. Otis Fellows. 



A DOG AT THE TRAP— Quebec, Canada.— A gentle- 

 man in this city, Mr. F. G. Verity, has an llmos. old setter, 

 a "blue blood,"' that takes great interest in trap-shooting, 

 retrieves the unhit clay-pigeons, assists in springing the 

 trap, etc. We may expect some good work from him in the 

 field next September.— Stanstead. 



PEDIGREE WANTED.— Chicago, June 9.— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: Can you or your readers give me. any inform- 

 ation as to pedigree, or address of owner, of the mastiff dog 

 Jacob, said to be owned by a Mr. Stevens?— Robert Locke.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



A. B., Little Rock, Ark.— A water spaniel is literally covered 

 with lice. What would you recommend to get rid of them? Ans. 

 Wash thoroughly with carbolic soap. If this is not effective, rub 

 in some ointment of delphine or sprmkle on powder of same. 



J. T. J., Newark.— My Yorkshire terrier is very badly consti- 

 pated, and several times a. day he will start oft* with a sharp, loud 

 cry, as if in great pain. His appetite is medium; food, Challenge 

 dog food and Spratls biscuit in milk. Ans. You must relieve the 

 bowels at once. If necessary, give an injection of soap suds and 

 olive oil. If the bowels move at all, give two or th ice doses of 

 castor oil (tablespoonful each time). After the passages become 

 regular, give a teaspoonful of syrup of buckthorn every other day 

 for a week or ten days. 



C. W. L., Leeshurg, Va.— Will you kindly suggest a remedy for 

 my pointer dog, age tSmos.? He has a rasping or gagging cough, 

 accompanied by choking and vomiting frothy matter. Ho is in 

 fair condition otherwise, seems quite well, full of life, and has 

 good appetite. Have dosed him for bronchial trouble, but with- 

 out effecting a cure. He has had this cough for six or eight months 

 and always seems worse at the beginning of exercise. The cough 

 at times is quite loud and distressing, again short and husky, and 

 I think worst in damp weather, though frequently bad when the 

 weather is bright. Ans. Get the following : 

 B Acid hydrocyan. dil. 



Chloroform aa 3 i. 



Tr. hyocyami. 



Syr. tolutan. 



Mucilago acaciaj. 



Aq Sa5i. 



Mix. Sig. One teaspoonful three or four times daily.

BOSTON, June 18.— The spring meeting of three days' duration 

 at Walnut Hill came to a close to-night. The number of entries 

 have been much larger than was expected. The standard of shoot-

 "crack shots" are pitted against each other. The summary:

 terminated last week at Conlin's Gallery, Broadway and Thirty- 

 first street. New York, included the pick of the best shots in the

 obliged to shoot 4 out of 6 shots within the radius of a silver 5 cent 

 piece. The other two shots of the 6 had to touch the black part of 

 the butlseye, counting 70 hut of a possible 72 on each of the three 

 targets. The highest score possible on the three targets was 216.

MUZZLE VS. BREECH. — Syracuse, N. Y.— An interesting con- 

 test in rifle shooting will take place near this city some day next, 

 fall, the exact date to he appointed. For some time past there has 

 been a dispute between several riflemen as to the relative merits 

 of muzzle and breechloaders. Horace Warner, widely known as 

 a maker of muzzle-loaders, and August Khoeler, in the employ of 

 Win. Malcolm, also known everywhere for his telescope sights, 

 have agreed to meet and test the question for a purse of $100. One 

 hundred shots are to be fired at 220yds. The weight of rifles shall 

 be the same; no restrictions otherwise. "String measure" is to be 

 used in making up the score, which is to be composed of ten strings 

 for each rifle, Each party is to scloct a judge, and the judges will 

 name a referee. Each party will shoot his own rifle, or choose a 

 shooter, as he may prefer. Mr. Warner wiU unquestionably do 

 his own shooting, and the match will, of course, be shot from a 

 rest. The contest will awaken wide and general interest among 

 riflemen, for the test will be very sharp and will have much bear- 

 ing on a disputed question. Mr. Malcolm wiU supply some of the 

 conditions to both parties.— D. H, B,
