KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 JS™ No Notice Taken ot Anonymous Correspondents. 



C. H., Erie, Pa.— I have an Irish setter pup, 11 months old, who 

 is out of condition; nose dry and hot, scaling off and filling up: he 

 sniffles a good deal; eye mattery; hair dry and bristling, stands 

 up rough. I think he has had distemper. Veterinary doctor pre- 

 scribed for distemper When he had no appetite, and he seemed to 

 get better. What shaU I give himV He will not go into water. 

 An8. Distemper. Give ogrs. quinine night and morning. Give 

 teaspoon of whisky in water three times daily for a week. Keep 

 him quarantined. Change bedding frequently and sprinkle car- 

 bolic solution in kennel. 



A. C. C, Hartford, Conn.— I have a pointer dog troubled with 

 weak eyes. His eyes run badly — something of a watery nature. 

 What is the proper remedy? Ana. Sponge the eyes each day 

 with borax and water. The trouble may be due to lack of exer- 

 cise, improper feeding or digestive disturbance. These should be 

 looked after. If digestion is poor, give Fowler's solution, 5 drops, 

 night and morning, mixed with the food. Keep the bowels easy. 

 Two or three compound cathartic pills at a dose will do this.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



OUR TEAM ABROAD. 



LONDON, June 39.— Several members of the. English Volunteers 

 met the American riflemen on their arrival here to-night. The 

 men were weary after their long journey. Major Frost said, how- 

 ever, that they were in good health, and after two days' rest they 

 would be read y to meet the team of Berkshire Volunteers on Tues- 

 day. The interest of London centers in the match with the Hon- 

 orable Artillery Company on July 6, when picked men have been 

 arranged to meet them. 



London, July 1.— The Massachusetts rifle team was entertained 

 by the Honorable Artillery Company yesterday. After a drive 

 through Hvde Park and Kew Gardens they dined at the Star and 

 Garter Hotel, Richmond. On returning they drove to Wimbledon 

 Camp, where tents are already pitched and teams are practicing. 



The team practiced in the morning at Murhead, near London, 

 and in the afternoon shot its first match with a team from the 

 Honorable Artillery Company for a prize offered by the company, 

 and won easily by 54 Doints in the total. The shooting was at 2(30, 

 £00 and 900yds. on the" ranges at Nunhead, and the scores made 

 were not on the whole very brilliant. 



Each man had 7 shots at each range, besides 2 sighting shots: 

 Wimbledon targets were used. At the 2O0yds. range the team 

 shot in a standing position. At the other two in a prone position. 



The Massachusetts team used Springfield rifles, as used in mili- 

 tary competitions, with the regulation government ammunition, 

 the' rifles fitted with wind gauge and aperture sight, as allowed in 

 competitions in the United States. 



The Artillery hoys had Martini-Henry rifles with open sights, 

 and ammunition as issued for the volunteer service. Telescopes, 

 spotting and coaching were allowed. 



The day was a very fair one for shooting, excepting for the fact 

 that a trickish, changeable wind was blowing. While the 200yds. 

 range was being shot it blew from the left, the rear, and at times 

 shifted from all points between the rear and the left, and was 

 often gusty. 



The American team pronounced the range a poor one and shoot- 

 ing difficult, on account of the shifting and unsteadiness of the 

 wind, which appeared to be due in large part to the topography 

 of the land immediately surrounding the range. 



After a lunch, which was tendered by the Americans to the Artil- 

 lery men, the match began and lasted nearly four hours. At the 

 200yds. range shooting the Americans showed notably their supe- 

 riority over their opponents in the standing posture. In their 

 work 'at 500yds., reclining position, the Americans did still better 

 shooting. At the 600yds. shoot, however, the home team wound 

 up with a lead of 9 points over their Massachusetts opponents. 



At the conclusion of the match Captain Stohwasser, in behalf 

 of his team, congratulated the Americans on their success and 

 expressed the hope that they might maintain it, and then, with 

 the rest of his men, gave the H. A. C. a hearty cheer. 



In response Captain Frost expressed thanks for such courteous 

 greeting and good wishes, and said that he was somewhat chag- 

 rined at the shooting done by the Massachusetts team. It had, 

 he thought, never struck such a poor range before. With a more 

 decent range and a better day it might hope to do still better 

 work. Then the Americans gave a rousing Massachusetts fire, 

 consisting of three cheers, "M.! V.! M.!" repeated lustily thrice, 

 and "Massachusetts" once. Both teams intermingled in groups 

 ai d were then photographed. They concluded the day's pleasure 

 with refection at the Artillery Company s headquarters. Follow- 

 ing_are the totals by the marksmen at each range:

London, July 2.- The following memorial to the National Rifle 

 Association, and the Council's reply thereto, have been pub- 

 lished: 



"The committee of the South London Rifle Club having ar- 

 ranged to shoot a match with the American "team about to visit 

 this country, and having elected them honorary members of the 

 club duiing their stay here, respecfully request that, they may be 

 permitted to use their reguial ion Springfield rifles in the several 

 M. B. L. competitions at Wimbledon, in which, as matters stand, 

 they will be unable to Are a shot, because the 'Buffington' screw 

 aperture icar sight, which in 1884 superceded the sliding wind 

 gauge buckhorn sight adopted in 1879, is barred by the N. R. A. 

 rules. ' F. H. Short, Captain 3d West Kent, 



Chairman of Committee. 

 "William Tukb, Hon. Secretary." 



From the Secretary, National Rifle Association, 12 Pall Mall 

 East.- London, S.W., to the Chairman of Committee of South 

 London Rifle Club, Nunhead, S.E. 



.Tune 11, 1889.— Sir— I am directed by the Council of the Na- 

 tional Rifle Association to acknowledge the receipt of the Memo- 

 rial from the South London Rifle Club, requesting that the mem- 

 bers of the American Team, who have been elected Honorary 

 Members of the Club, may be permitted to use their Regulation 

 Springfield Rifle in the several M.B.L. Competitions at Wimble- 

 don, in which, as matters staud, they will be unable to Are, be- 

 cause the "Bufliugton" screw aperture rearsight, which in 1884 

 superseded the sliding wind-gauge "buckhorn" sight adopted in 

 1879, is barred by the N. R. A. rules. 



The Council desires me to state that, after a careful considera- 

 tion of the request contained in the memorial, they decided that 

 they could not have the pleasure of acceding to it, and the follow- 

 ing resolution was passed: 



"That, the request of the South London Rifie Club be refused, as 

 it is not advisable that the general regulations of the National 

 Rifle Association respecting the sights of military breechloaders 

 be departed from." I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient 

 servant, Edmond St. John Mildmay, Secretary N.R.A.

WILMINGTON, Del., June 24.— There was a fair attendance at 

 the regular weekly shooting at Healdmoor rifie range, Wilmiug- 

 Del., this afternoon. The weather was very favorable for target 

 shooting, being just cloudy enough to prevent glaring light, and 

 the wind very moderate. The shooting wa.s generally close and 

 even. A new feature of practical value and which .afforded much 

 amusement and rivalry to the competitors was the match with 

 pocket revolvers. The second telegraph team match resulted in 

 a victory for the Camden, Del., team by a narrow share of three 

 points. The shooting of each team shows geat improvement, and 

 as each side has now won a match the next match promises to.be 

 exciting. Following are the scores, standard American target,

NEWARK, June 27.— The fifth match for the member's trophy 

 was shot by the Newark Shooting Society to-day, unaer perfect 

 conditions of weather and light. The match was won by Henry 

 C. Koegel, who scored 225 points. Other scores were: H. Williams

F. C. Dietz 191. G. D. Weigman 187, C. H. Contrell 186, W. YaufT- 

 man 186, S. H. Shackelford 187; the ten men aggregating 1,987 

 points, an average of 198' i . The expert match had another "off 

 day," so far as entries were concerned, though some big scoring 

 was made. H. Williams took first, money with 07, and also secured 

 three G6's, four 64's, a 62 and 61; J. Coppersmith was second witb 

 06, also scoring 65, 63, 63, 63, 60; F. C. Campbell, was third with 63, 



G. I). Weigman fourth with 63, also scoring 60 and 58, which gave 

 him a bronze medal; fifth money went to W. Yauffman on 61, 

 sixth to F. C. Dietz on 54, and seventh to F. A. Freiensehner on 53. 

 The New Yorkers who were expected were conspicuous by their 

 absence. 



FOREIGN RIFLE NOTES.— The Swiss commission appointed 

 to report upon the adoption of anew rifle had recommended the 

 immediate re-equipment of the whole of the Federal troops with 

 weapons after the pattern submitted by Col. Schmidt, of the Swiss 

 Armv. 



A Frenchman, M. Bieunait, is said to have fr und the means of 

 replacing the metal shell of cartridges by one of a vegetable com- 

 position, which will be entirely consumed in firing. This cartridge 

 scarcely weighs one-half of a metal cartridge, the price is con- 

 siderably less, and its use will do away with all the drawbacks 

 attached tJ the extraction of the shell after each shot. As the 

 metal shell, however, secures the closing of the gun, M. Bieunait 

 has invented a new contrivance, which may be easily affixed to 

 every gun at a small expense, and which would gi ve to his vege- 

 table shell the same advantage as possessed by those in use. The 

 employment of these new cartridges would enable soldiers to 

 carry twice the number now allowed, and thereby the difficult 

 problem of the supply of ammunition in battle would be greatly . 

 simplified.

 Newark Shooting Society will be held at the Newark Shooting

NEW JERSEY STATE TOURNAMENT. 



THE New Jersey State Association for the Protection of Fish 

 and Game (so-called) met at tlieirrooms, Continental Hotel, 

 Newark, on Tuesday last, Dr. Pindell, president, in the chair; 

 Wm. Hayes secretary. Nineteen clubs were represented, besides 

 a large gathering of sportsmen from different parts of the State, 

 and much interest was shown. The conduct of the State shoot 

 for 1889 was unanimously awarded to the Jersey City Heights Gun 

 Club if they would accept the responsibility. At a meeting of the 

 last-mentioned club at their rooms, Newark avenue, J. C. H., on 

 Thursday last, it was resolved to accept, the same, and the follow- 

 ing committee on organization and running matters were ap- 

 pointed with full power to act: Chairman, Frederick Quimbv; 

 Milton Lindsley, Albert Heritage; with Wm. Hughes, George B. 

 Eaton. J. J. Maber aud Dr. F. Cummins sub-committee. Any 

 clubs wishing to join the State Association can do so by applying 

 to Wm. Hayes, Secretary, Broad street, Newark. There will be p. 

 four-day tournament, two days at clay (not graven) images and 

 two days at live birds. Sweepstakes at times at both will be open 

 to visiting sportsmen outside of the association prizes and badges. 



One of the marked features of the occasion will be a 5 live bird 

 shoot for old stagers only. No one less than 55 years wiU com- 

 pete. The shooting to be old style and what we have always ad- 

 vocated, gun below elbow until the bird is on the wing. Only 

 bona fide members of regular organized clubs of the association 

 allowed to compete. Five prizes of $15 each have been so far 

 guaranteed. This age limit we fear will bar out Uncie Billy 

 Hughes, as he has recently renewed his age and is not now over 

 40. Also the field editor Jake P., he only calls now for about 35 

 or so. but we have a small matter of old to settle with Jake and 

 we shall insist upon him being allowed in, and we propose to test 

 his sight on the tubes and delicacy on the trigger. We know he 

 used to shoot most as well as he writes, which is saying a good 

 deal, and we rather hope when welcome together at the score to 

 warm him. Dare he accept the challenge? He may find besides 

 "Jacobstaff" such old timers as Lamberson of Midway, Voorhees, 

 Drs. Burdett and Pindell, Leddv, Bedle, Casselis. Heritage, Wm. 

 Taylor, Wm. Hughes. C. M. Hedden and we don't know how many 

 others. It will be a great affair and will rival all these other 

 veteran associations of notoriety or rather associations of 

 veterans like the firemen, Grand Army, etc. Why some of these 

 are veterans of more than 50 years at the traps and tbey have not 

 forgotten their cunning yet by any means. 



The State tournament will take place an the grounds of the 

 Jersey City Heights Gun Club, Marion, N. J., the week following 

 the State fair at Waverly^ probably the last week in September 

 or first of October, due notice of which will be given.
