DOG TALK. 



QUITE a little tempest in a teapot has been caused by 

 General Manager Hain's recent order against the ad- 

 mission of persons with dogs in the cars of the New York 

 elevated railways. The order is not a new one; the general 

 regulations prohibited the admission of "persons with bulky 

 parcels or accompanied by dogs," the object of the prohibi- 

 tion being of course to secure the convenience and comfort 

 of the traveling public The generally courteous disposi- 

 tion of the guards has led to considerable relaxation of the 

 rules, both as regards bulky parcels and dogs, the chief of- 

 fenders under the latter head being ladies with their pet 

 dogs. Some of these pets display ill-temper, very much to 

 the annoyance of the passengers. General Manager Hain's 

 office has been inundated with complaints on the subject; 

 but the crisis appears to have been brought on by a pletho- 

 ric pug falling into convulsions in one. or the cars, and dis- 

 play! ug symptoms which were immediately interpreted by 

 the' timid' passengers as evidence of hydrophobia. The ad- 

 mission of dogs into passenger cars, especially in the dog 

 davs, the public believes to be a source of real danger, and 

 Colonel Hain's action in the matter has met with general 

 approval. If the permission to transport dogs by the ele- 

 vated railways were a convenience to any considerable num- 

 ber of the public, boxes could be readily provided, but 

 comparatively speaking very few people care anything for 

 the privilege, and the public has its temper so severely 

 tried by the crowding to which passengers are unavoidably 

 subject, that it would be impolitic to aggravate it by the 

 popular fear of exposure to hydrophobia, however baseless 

 that fear may be. 



Mr. Will A. Bruette, of Jefferson, Wis., has recently 

 imported the Sussex spaniel bitch Sussex Queen. She is by 

 champion Baryta and out of Jill, she by champion Bachelor 

 and out of Dove. She was whelped in June, 1887. Her 

 breeder says of her: "She has much the same expression as 

 her sire, champion Baryta, and is full as long and low, with 

 good bone and quality, and beats him in coat, for she is the 

 correct golden liver in color, and is brighter, Baryta being a 

 sb ade too dark. Her coat is very flat and smooth, and she is 

 a very tine worker and as busy as a bee." Mr. Bruette has 

 presented her to Mr. F. H. F. Mercer, of Ottawa, Can. Mr. 

 Bruette has also purchased another Sussex bitch, which 

 before being shipped will be bred. If she proves to be in 

 whelp she will also be sent to Mr. Mercer. 



Mr. Thos. Johnson of Winnepeg, Manitoba, has recently 

 imported from the kennel of Mr. A. P. Heywood-Bons- 

 dale, Whitechurch, Eng., the English setter bitch Pitti 

 Sing. She was welphed Jan. 26, 1884, and is by Baron 

 Boveridge . aud out of Nora. Her litter brother Woodhull 

 Bruce and sister Woodhull Beta are both winners at the 

 English field trials, and Mr. Johusou expects that Pitti 

 Sing will add to the reputation of hep family at the coming 

 trials of the Manitoba, Field Trials Club. Accompanying 

 Mr. Johnson's bitch was a half sister of hers, Jenny Deans, 

 presented to Mr. S. Becket of Winnipeg. She is also en- 

 tered for the Manitoba, trials. 



wholly untried, having never seen a hare, although they are 

 from fourteen to twenty months old. A large advance offer 

 over the purchase price was made just before they were 

 shipped. They are direct from the kennels of Dr. Walter 

 Tlitre, of Kendal, Eng., a very uoted breeder in the north of 

 England. They were received in fine condition through the 

 kind care given them by Mr. Arthur Massey, the slipper of 

 the meeting of the. American Coursing Club'of 1887, who has 

 just returned from a visit to England. This is the largest 

 and most important importation ever made to this country, 

 and will largely enhance the greyhound interest and add to 

 the stud one of the most valuable dogs ever brought to this 

 country. They will all be placed in training for the meeting 

 of the American Coursing Club, Oct. 15.— Gkeat Bend. 



In response to an inquiry to the Long Island Railroad 

 Company regarding the transportation of dogs over their 

 road, we have received the following reply from Mr. H..M. 

 Smith, Traffic Manager: "Long Island City, N. Y., Aug. 15. 

 —iSditor Forest and Stream: In reply to yours of Aug. 9 

 beg to say that we transport dotes, accompanying passengers, 

 free, by the owner signing a release, which will be furnished 

 by the" baggage master at the starting point. When dogs 

 are shipped by express they must be crated, aud the rate for 

 any distance under 50 miles is 75 cents, 50 miles or over $1.— 

 II. M. Smith." 



Mr. E. B. Sears, of Melrose, Mass., received last week the 

 St. Bernard bitch Lady Wellington, purchased by him in 

 England last June from Mr. S. W. Smith, of Leeds. She 

 was bred July 15 to Plinlimmon. When taken from the 

 steamer, after an eleven days' journey, she weighed llOlbs. 

 Lady Wellington has eleven champions to her credit, and 

 her appearance on the bench in America will excite great 

 interest. 



Mr. J. L. Winchell, of Pair Haven, Vt., has recently im- 

 ported from the kennels of Mr. Edwin Brough, Scarborough, 

 Eng., the bloodhound bitch Ripple Buxom. She is three 

 years old. and is by Triumph and out of Ripple Baroness. 

 She is in whelp to Barnaby, wanner of first at the New York 

 show. With her came a pair of puppies that Mr. Winchell 

 speaks very highly of. 



The Natioual Exposition at Kansas City, Mo., to be held 

 in September and October, will give a dog show as one of the 

 attractions. The date has not yet been decided, but will 

 probably be announced soon. The address of the general 

 manager is C. Ralph Evans, Room 16, New England Build- 

 ing, Kansas City, Mo. 



A correspondent wishes to know if the last Cincinnati dog 

 show was held subject to Rule 2, as a number of dogs shown 

 there have not been rigistered in the "official." He also 

 claims that mongrels are registered in the "official" as be- 

 ing purely bred. 



W. C. Middleton Pitch-Kemp, master of the celebrated 

 Poxbush Harriers in Kent, has been compelled to destroy 

 the whole of that valuable pack in consequence of rabies 

 making its appearance in the kennels at Hildenborough. 



We are advised that the report which came to us of Mr. 

 Hartley's death was premature, and that there is even a 

 hope, in which we most sincerely join, that he may yet re- 

 cover. 



Mr. J. S. Hudson, of Coviugton, Ky., has purchased the 

 English setter Ben Hill, the dog that was "pulled" in the 

 heat with Lillian at Grand Junction in 1886. 



In our issue of Aug. S we stated that Mr. H. T. Drake 

 wished to find Dr. Chas. Neil. This was a typographical 

 error; it should read Dr. Chas. Weil. 



The London dog show managers are bidding for the sup- 

 port of the members of the N. D. C, by offering a valuable 

 prize for the best looking exhibitor. 



GREYHOUND IMPORTATION. — Great Bend, Kan.,

SCORING DEVICE.— Springfield, Mass.— Assistant Superin- 

 tendent Peters of the electric-light company has arranged a sys- 

 tem of electric clocks or indicators which will he used for scoring 

 purposes by the Schuetzeuverain September 3 at their annual 

 shooting festival. Hitherto, whenever a shot has been fired, the 

 man stationed at the targets has indicated the score by raising in 

 the air a large card with the figures printed on it, but under the 

 new arrangement, by which one clock is placed at the target and 

 another at the grand stand, he simply turns the hand on his own 

 clock to the requisite number and immediately by electric con- 

 nections the. same figure is indicated on the other clock, which is 

 at once noted by the secretary. According to the German system 

 of ring target scoring the values of the scores are indicated by 

 figures ranging from 1 to 25, but these clocks will be numbered 

 onlv to 33, so that whenever 24 is made, a white flag will be raised, 

 and an American flag will do like service for score 25. 



THE RIFLE OF OUR DADDIES. — Editor Forest and Stream: 

 I recently purchased at auction a peculiar rifle patented in 1851 by 

 F. D. Porter, of this city. It is very heavy, the barrel be'ng thick, 

 and contains nine chambers for ammunition in a sort of revolv- 

 ing wheel, and as this interferes the sight is taken along left side 

 of barrel. There is a sort of loader affixed to top of barrel, and 

 the trigger strikes at the right side of lock. Can you please 

 give me any particulars about this gun, whether used for sporting 

 or warfare, whether a success at the time it was first made, and 

 original cost. I can scarcely decide whether it is a percussion 

 gun or not,— W. F. (N.Y. City). [The weapon is probably one of a 

 large number which were brought out about this time. Most of 

 them were failures, but all were carefully studied by the designers 

 of the successful breech loaders, which came in large numbers 

 toward the close of the war.]

THE TRAP.

 prepared by the Forest and Stream, and furnished gram to club

 ticidarly requested to write on one side of the paper only. 



NEW YORK SHOOTING GROUNDS. 



THE fact has frequently been commented on that the great 

 city of New York witn its thousands of shooters possesses no 

 convenient public shooting ground. By convenient is meant a 

 resort reached with small expenditure of precious time, where 

 shooting facilities are ever in readiness, and where expenses are 

 light. To provide such a resort an association has been formed, 

 which is in plan and purpose unique. The New York Suburban 

 Shooting Grounds Association, a corporation existing under the 

 laws of New Jersey, was organized for the purpose of equipping 

 and maintaining a public ground, club house, &c, for the benefit 

 and enjoyment of all the shooters of New York city and vicinity, 

 where any one may shoot u score for practice, test guns at tar- 

 gets, or snoot friendly or professional matches at almost any 

 time. The character of the undertaking is set forth in the pub- 

 lished handbook of the association as follows: 



"This association is not a club in the ordinary sense of the 

 word, but a business enterprise which the originators believe is 

 certain of success from the start, as it is a well known fact that 

 there are thousands of gun owners in this city alone who have no 

 convenient place to shoot, and who for many reasons do not care 

 to join an ordinary gun club, where, in most cases, a few ruling 

 spirits monopolize all the prizes, and make their expenses in 

 shooting sweepstakes at the cost of the majority who are less pro- 

 ficient: it is believed that these grounds offer special inducements 

 to the. beginner, and to those who wish to improve themselves in 

 marksmanship. It is the object of this association to elevate the 

 standard of this sport, and make trap-shooting one of the popular 

 amusements of the day. 



"The convenient location of the grounds at Claremont, N. J., on 

 the Central R. R. of N. J., where one steps from the depot right 

 into the enclosure. Time from foot of Liberty street, New York, 

 eighteen minutes. Round trip, fare fourteen cents. It is con- 

 venient for the business man or any one who is hurried for time, 

 and it is believed that a large number of spectators may be ex- 

 pected at all tournaments and advertised matches shot upon these 

 grounds. 



"The emtipmeut of these grounds will be complete in every par- 

 ticular, all the latest and best improvements will be provided. 

 Trappers and pullers will be in readiness on all fair days from 

 it A. M. till sundown. The grounds and buildings will be in charge 

 of a competent superintendent, and good order will be main- 

 tained. 



"A comfortable club house and lunch counters will be pro- 

 vided. A grand stand seating at least 375 persons, besides seats in
