[July 7, 1887. 



DOGS IN THE CITY.— Brooklyn, N. Y., July L— I have 

 ■just finished reading your editorial ''Dogs in the City," and 

 1" must sav that I feel'strongly with the mayor's correspond- 

 ent. I am the proud possessor of three of the "best dogs in 

 the world," that I value on the average at £150 apiece. For 

 these dogs I pay the city §6.30 per year. When I take them 

 out of doors at 'all, in preference to muzzling them I take 

 them coupled together upon a cash. Yet it was only the 

 other day that a dog catcher was only persuaded not to 

 detach two of my dogs (licensed and leashed according to 

 law, from the leash held by me) by a sound drubbing from 

 the heavy stick I had in my hand; while on the other side of 

 the street, lying in the gutter in front of a livery stable in 

 fall view of the catcher, lay three curs, never licensed, nor 

 muzzled nor tied, but which roam the streets at large and 

 have perfect immunity from the catchers. In my immed- 

 iate neighborhood are eight or ten cur dogs that never are 

 licensed and yet year by year go scot free. My dog catcher 

 friend threatened to make me pay dearly for the bloody 

 knuckles I gave him; but as I never allow the dogs on the 

 street except on the above conditions, and always carry my 

 stick, I have not heard from him yet. I only wish he'd try 

 coming into my kennels to take them, for there's a red Irish 

 dog there that I think would do him.— Elk. 



MR. KIRK AS A SPANIEL JUDGE.— In the communi- 

 cation headed "Non-Sporting Spaniels," page 497 of last 

 week's issue, a correspondent sajd, " I did not exhibit my 

 dogs. * * * I was told they could not win under Mr. 

 Kirk, especially if there were any dogs from Canada on ex- 

 hibition." In justice to ourselves we explain that such an 

 insinuation against Mr. Kirk was permitted to appear by 

 inadvertence only. In the absence of the editor of that de- 

 partment, Mr. Osborne's communication was not read with 

 the care it would have received under ordinary circum- 

 stances. Mr. James Watson writes: Editor Forest and 

 Stream : It is so contrary to the long established custom of 

 Forest and Stream to allow such a sentence as that to 

 appear in its columns that 1 know it must have slipped in 

 without notice. I further know from an experience of years 

 the great amount of care necessary on the part of an editor 

 to eliminate such remarks and others of a like nature, and I 

 bespeak for you Mr Kirk's forgiveness. 



LTJCD7ER.— Mr. August Belmont, Jr. 's fox-terrier Luci- 

 fer, which was sent to the Jubilee show of the English Ken- 

 nel Club, took first and special for best in open class. Mr. 

 Belmont's dogs have won a number of prizes at other shows 

 in England. Mr. Fred Hoey's Valet also came in for a first. 

 Mr. Peshall's trade-dollar Jimmie is yet to be heard from.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



Symptoms.— On the 20th Inst, my dog apparently enjoyed first* 

 class health. He was one of those bounding, unusually aetive t 

 determined spaniels; always ready for a meal. The following 

 morning (21st) ho was totally blind, but otherwise unchanged. In 

 the afternoon he burked considerably, lost appetite* general, twitch^ 

 ing set in, suffered partial deafness, emitted frothy saliva and 

 breathing became labored. Next morning his entire left side was 

 paralyzed, tongue red, foaming had ceased; but blindness, deaf- 

 ness and twitehings were as before. He continued thus, steadily 

 growing weaker until his death in the evening. There was not 

 an y cough, fever, thirst, discharge from nose or eyes. He vomited 

 but Once, and then shortly before his death, consisting of a few 

 pieces of apple and fat wholly undigested although in his stomach 

 forty-eight hours. Stools and urine were natural. I might add 

 that his staple food was Spratts dog biscuits. He also got scraps 

 from table, but no meat. Ans. Symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage, 

 apoplexy or bursting of a blood vessel at base of brain.

 Gun Club: 



The West End Gun Club, of Long Branch, N. J., shot off their 

 ties for the Forest and Stream Decoration Day Trophy on their 

 summer grounds at Pleasure Bay, on 2d inst., a-nd it proved a very 

 creditable affair for the club. This comparatively new club hav- 

 ing tied other clubs for the three first prizes, we were anxious to 

 meet face to face such skillful disciples of the trigger and were not 

 disappointed in our personal acquaintance. We found them, from 

 their Presidont Morris down, not only first-class shots but a square 

 lot of sportsmen from heel-plate to muzzle. Some of them, like 

 Justice W. D. Campbell, Taber and the Prices are live bird shots 

 of considerable local reputation. Will Price has grassed his 38 

 birds straight, and Camnbell nearly as many without a break, and 

 others are not far behind. 



Upon arriving on the ground, which was a pasture lot on the 

 north branch of the Shrewsbury River, some three-fourths mile 

 from the hotel, we found a tent, pitched, traps arranged and every- 

 thing ready for a few hours of solid sport. But alas "the scheme 

 of mice and men"— you know the rest. One of the traps becoming 

 weakened would throw the crockery but about 30 or 35yds., 

 while the new one got from Von Lengerke for the occasion 

 would send the disks 50yds. or more. But the latter required the 

 tongue clay, a limited number of which only were on the grounds. 

 As the boys wanted a fair thing and nothing else, a delay occurred 

 after the ninth round and a member was despatched to town for 

 a fresh supply of birds with a tongue. When they arrived other 

 delays occurred, more or less annoying, enough to throw off any 

 shooter at all inclined to be nervous. The shooting under the 

 circumstances we consider more than creditable. A total of 130 

 out of 135 is very good. It was an honest and closely fought contest. 

 The men stand erect at the score, holding their gun in a graceful 

 and easy manner well below the armpit, and shoot with care and 

 deliberation. Some shoot quicker than others, and again if they 

 miss -with the first are pretty sure with the second. 



That the club was somewhat disappointed in the first team all 

 agree. They expected to equal their Decoration Day shoot and 

 make a clean 45. But Campbell felt too sure and one of his 

 saucers escaped without a scratch, as did one of Tabers of same 

 team. [The scores appear in their regular order above.] 



Where all did so well it seems invidious to made any distinction, 

 but we cannot refrain from speaking in praise of the bearing and 

 the shooting of the Prices. They seem to be natural-born shots. 

 E. H. Price, proprietor of Pleasure Bay Hotel, is one of those old- 

 time pigeon shooters of the days of Jack Taylor, Wm King, Bill 

 Seeds, Miles Johnson and Uncle Billy Hughes. He has not yet 

 forgot bis cunning at the trap, and has brought up bis three boys 

 (''chips of the old block'') in the ways of their father in deliber- 

 ation and adroitness at the score. The old man wants to challenge 

 the world as "a family affair," father and three sous to shoot any 

 other father and three sons for $1,000 a side, a clam roast or the 

 birds and beer. All those who know the old man, and he isn't so 

 very old either, believe he means what he says. Clarence S. 

 Wakely (not Makely as your paper had it) makes a good 

 referee. He has a keen eye and his decisions are prompt 

 and correct. It is but justice to say that, no less than 

 three of the birds scored as killed by the second barrel were really 

 broken with the first, but the shooters, either not hearing the 

 decision of the referee in time or in their anxiety to make sure, 

 got in their second; and as long as it was used it was scored as by 

 the second. It does not change the result of the score, but looks 

 a little better on paper to have more Is than 3s. The West End
