KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



|£§f~ No Notice Taken ot Anonymous Correspondents. 



M., Baltimore.— On Friday, about 4:30 P. M., I left my 2-year- 

 old setter bitch in perfect health, and about an hour after was 

 called home and found her purging blood. She did not seem to 

 be suffering anv pain and was not tender to the touch, no hawk- 

 ing, nose cold and no desire to drink water. I was thrown off by 

 the blood and suspected some injury. Went to see a doctor, who 

 thought she was injured by a bone or something. On reaching 

 home about 8 o'clock she had not moved out of her house. I 

 brought her in the house and laid her down; she laid this way 

 (passing blood a little every now and then) until about 10:30 P. M., 

 when she began to cry and moan every little while, and draw up 

 and stretch her legs. I gave two teaspoonfuls of laudanum in 

 whisky and water (her teeth were clinched then), and she died 

 about three or four minutes after I gave it. The doctor examined 

 her the next morning and found her insides very much congested: 

 ho said she was undoubtedly poisoned, he thought either by 

 arsenic or corrosive sublimate, as he did not have time to analyze. 

 Will von kindlv give me your views? I don't think there were 

 symptoms of arsenic. Would corrosive sublimate act like this 

 or any other poison? She had not been out of the house that day. 

 How soon does arsenic take effect? Ans. From description, should 

 think bitch was poisoned by some corrosive poison— arsenic, 

 corrosive sublimate, oxalic acid. Symptoms of arsenic poisoning: 

 Great pain over abdomen, vomiting of blood, purging blood, great 

 thirst, collapse. Corrosive sublimate very similar, but less vom- 

 iting. Oxalic acid same, less thirst and vomiting.

ANOTHER NEW CARTRIDGE.— A rifle cartridge has been 

 invented in France, and some surprising results have been ob- 

 tained with it at the Vincennes ranges. The new cartridge, which 

 is similar in appearance, weight, and every other detail to the. 

 Lebel cartridge, is claimed to possess considerable advantages. 

 In the first place, the metal jacket is entirely dispensed with, and 

 the cartridge can be instantly adapted to all military rifles, es- 

 pecially the Grass which is still borne by the French territorial 

 corns. Finally, the cartridge is said to be smokeless, and does 

 not'foul or clog the barrel, while the cost is 70 per cent, below the 

 price of the ordinary cartridge.— Broad Arrow. 



MINNEAPOLIS, April 24.— The Minneapolis Rifle Club held 

 their usual weekly shoot to-day, and the scores were good con- 

 sidering that the wind was strong and the light streaky. The 

 scores were as follows, Morgan winning the badge, being allowed 

 5 points by using a military rifle. 200yds. off-band: Weeks 66, 

 Marshall 75, Mandlin 74, Merrill 73, Morgan 73. Highest score 

 during the day: Weeks 81, Marshall 82, Maudlin 75, Merrill 73, 

 Morgan 73. Total of 5 scores: Weeks 373, Marshall 381, Maudlin 

 355. Total of 4 scores: Merrill 258, Morgan 289. 



TIME MATCH.— Mr. F. Hoefle, of the Miller Rifle Club of H~- 

 boken, and Mr. G. Zimmerman, of the Bull's Head Rifle Club of 

 Harlem, will shoot a match at Morrisania Park for $500 a side on 

 May 7. The. one making the greatest number of bullseyes in four 

 hours will be declared the winner. They will begin the match at 



1 o'clock, and time will be called at 5 P. M. 



LINDSAY, Ont., April 25.— At a meeting of the Victoria county 

 Rifle Association, held in the Council Chamber here last night, it 

 was decided to hold the spring match over the range here on May

by the Forest and Stream Publishing Co. We described it as 

 perhaps the most original, fresh and pleasing contribution 

 made to American humorous literature for years. This 

 judgment was warmly echoed back to us by a number of 

 well-known Canadians who bought the book on the strength 

 of our recommendation. Several of them, including one of 

 our really meritorious poets, were so much delighted by 

 Uncle Lisha that they took the unusual course of writing to 

 thank us for praising it publicly. So far as we know, Mr. 

 Robinson's remarkable talent has not been applauded at all 

 in his own country except by the readers of >orest AND 

 Stream, in which the Uncle Lisha sketches first appeared. 

 He has now issued (Forest and Stream Publishing Co.) a 

 companion volume, "Sam Lovel's Camps." The highly 

 amusing and natural French Canadian "Antwine," who ap- 

 peared in "The Shop" is to the fore again in these camps. 

 He is almost funnier than before. But we sadly miss 

 "G-ranther Hill" — the voluble, toothless, inspiring old 

 blowhard who had been in the Revolutionary War, who 

 boasted that his advice had always made his commanders 

 victorious, and who bragged most vivaciously on every 

 occasion. The sketches of Mr. Robinson, we may explain, 

 are dated away back to the time of the first steamboats. 

 Sam Lovel's camps were on Lake Champlain and tributary 

 creeks. This book is rather less amusing than Uncle Lisha, 

 but still is incomparably more interesting and valuable in 

 any right literary sense than nine hundred and ninety-nine 

 novels in a thousand. — Toronto Globe,
