EDITORIAL HONOR. — Editor Fewest and Stream : Tnrf. 

 Field, and. Farm of Aug. 34 has a communication on Dr. 

 Perry, and an editorial referring to the same. In both Mr. 

 J. Otis Fellows is described in a. manner that, to put it 

 mildly, is very disparaging. I do not know that Mr. Fel- 

 lows 1 reputation will suffer thereby, but it is well to point 

 out that Mr. Fellows is very nearly," if not quite, the oldest 

 breeder and exhibitor in the coiiutry. Wben a man has 

 been before the doggy public as long as Mr. Fellows has he 

 can afford to laugh at attempts of newcomers and brash 

 editors to damage his reputation, which has stood unchal- 

 lenged so long. But in the very same number of that paper 

 is an extract from a letter from Dr. W. W. Boulton, which 

 letter was written to me. As I was then without Dr. Boul- 

 ton 's permission to publish t his letter, I was extremely indig- 

 nant at its appearance, and immediately wrote Mr. Fellows 

 inquiring how it happened, and he replied that he told the 

 editor that the letter was not to be published until I had 

 permission. I may say that I sent Dr. Boulkm's letter 

 to Mr. Fellows, as it strongly indorsed the position Mr. Fel- 

 lows has always held as to cocker spaniels, and was a reply 

 to a letter of Mr. Fellows to me, which I had sent Dr. Bouf- 

 ton. Now mark you, the very same issue that contains the 

 letter of Dr. Boulton, given the editor in confidence, which 

 confidence was shamefully violated, contained an attack 

 on Mr. Fellows in terms 'that 1 need not characterize, as 

 every acquaintance of TJucle Dick's will do that mentally to 

 his heart's content.— W. WADE (Hulton, Pa., Sept. 1).

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



Statistics show, says a London paper, that Austria is still 

 the finest sporting country in Europe. The number of pre- 

 serves in Austria alone, not counting those in Hungary, is 

 stated at 15,761, and on these there were shot in 1887 32 bears, 

 113 wolves, 24 lynxes, 9,490 stags, 60,252 roebucks, 7,709 

 chamois, 2,998 wild boars, 26,411 foxes, 9,739 polecats, 1,055 

 otters, 2,672 badgers, 333 marmots, and no less than 1,439,134 

 hares. Wild rabbits are scarce in this country, and are not 

 counted in the general record, but 27,797 were shot in Bo- 

 hemia, where there are most warrens. The totals for 

 feathered game are: 4,498 grouse, 1,300 wild geese, 102, 74S 

 pheasants, 1,336,934 partridges, 34,448 quails, 12,652 woodcock, 

 7,614 snipe, and 28,914 wild ducks. The birds of prey shot 

 were 561 eagles, 38,610, owls, 1,365 horned owls, and 106,353 

 hawks, kestrels, kites, and vultures. The value of the game 

 shot is reckoned at 1,080,000 fl., or about £S6,800. 



A Dinlnu Car Line to the Pacific Coast— The completion of the all rail 

 line between Portland, Ore., and San Francisco gives the Pacific coast trav- 

 eler an opportunity to patronize the famous Dining Car and Yellowstone 

 Park Line, the Northern Pacific Kailroad. The sportsman traveling in the 

 West, whether a lover of the rod or gun, naturally seeks this road, pene- 

 trating as i t does the lake park region of Minnesota, and running through 

 the valleys of such trout streams as the Yellowstone, Gallatin, Hell Gate, 

 Clark's Fork, Spokane, Yakima and Green Eivers, for a distance of fully 

 1,500 miles, as well as lying immediately contiguous to the finest hunting 

 grounds In the United States, viz., The Big Horn, Snowy Belt, Bitter Root, 

 Coeur D'Alene and Cascade Mountains. Information in regard to this 

 region can oe obtained lay addressing Ohari.es K. Fee, General Passenger 

 and Ticket Agent, N.H. R., P. St, Paul, Minn— Adv.

THE CANADIAN WIMBLEDON. 



OTTAWA, Sept. 3.— A better day for the opening matches of 

 the Canadian Wimbledon meet could not have been desired 

 —a clear sky, a light wiud, which only occasionally was inclined 

 to he tricky, but which tempered the sun's rays, a total abseuce. 

 of smoke from bush fires and every detail of the meet. The 

 number of competitors is somewhat smaller than last year, 

 numbering 318, as against 303, hut the number of entries is 

 slightly in excess. Some old faces are missing, but to compensate 

 therefor there are quite a number of new ones. 



Every province is represented at the matches. British Colum- 

 bia sends a team of rive, Manitoba ten, Prince Edward's Island 

 ten, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick about thirty each, and the, 

 rest, forming the great bulk of the competitors, come from Onta- 

 rio and Quebec, The three hundred men compete for cash prizes 

 amounting to $7,200, trophies in the shape of challenge cups, 

 valued at nearly $3,000, also a. number of handsome medals and 

 badges. There are fifteen individual matches on the programme 

 including the. "extra series," or those in which a competitor is 

 allowed as manv trials as he chooses to pay for. The prizes 

 average about CO to each match. 



The goal for which every rifleman strives is a place on the 

 Wimbledon team, this being the reward which falls to the 

 twenty having the highest aggregate in certain specified matches. 



The arrangements with regard to the camp ground and ranges 

 are much the same as last year. A large number of competitors 

 are under canvas. 



Thirty-eight targets have been prepared for the meeting, and 

 as the firing is done by pairs at eacb, accommodation is thus 

 afforded for 70 men to proceed with their shooting at the same 

 time. 



Lieut.-Col. Matlice, of Montreal, is chief range officer, and is 

 assisted by Capt, McNachton. of the Cobourg Garrison Artillery 

 Capt. Atkinson, Montreal, and Capt. Hodgins, Capt. Aumond' 

 Lieut. Winter and Lieut. Shannon, of Ottawa. 



Col. Bacon, the energetic secretary, is constantly on the ground 

 aud in great demand. Re is assisted bv Mr, L. S. Burpee. Capt 

 Hubbell, Lieut. Todd and Mr. Phillips. Major Walsh, of the 43d, 

 is statistical officer, his assistants being Messrs. C. C. Rogers and 

 P. A. Jackson. 



Three matches were finished to-day, for there was an uninter- 

 runted pop of the rifles from 8:30 to 6 o'clock.

Sept. h.— Fine, clear weather again favored the competitors at 

 the D. R. A. matches to-day. A boisterous wind, which blew in 

 gusts sometimes right down the range, and often from the right 

 rear, prevented any tall scoring. The opening match to-day was 

 the manufacturers'. A score of 33 won the first prize both last 

 year and this. To-day's shooting, however, on the whole was 

 better throughout the match, as is evidenced bv the figures, the 

 lowest score being 34 last year, with 19 24's counted out, while to- 

 day 28 was the lowest, with 8 28's counted out. The shooting in 

 the Ouimet match Was a little better than last year, Staff-Sergt 

 Clarke, 53d, winning with 34 out of a possible 35, whereas the win- 

 ning score last year was 33. Last year there were 18 24's counted 

 out, while this year some 23's came in.

In the eveni ng there was a competitors meeting, at which Lieut.- 

 Col. Wm. White, of the iod Battalion, presided. The feature of 

 the meeting was that there were no complaints in regard to 

 Snider ammunition as in former years. Quite contrary, a re- 

 solution was moved conveying thanks to Sir Adolphe Caron, Min- 

 ister of Militia, who had heeded the complaints of the riflemen of 

 the Dominion, and had moreover succeeded in removing their 

 cause. 



Sergt. Doyle, of Halifax, was anxious that the two sighting 

 shots which were formerly allowed should be revived, but his 

 proposal did not meet with much iavor. 



Capt. Sherwood secured the unanimous support of the meeting 

 for a motion that matches should not be arranged for both 

 Snider and Martini-Henry rifles, and that matches should be so 

 grouped that only one rifle would be required each dav. 



Sept. fl.— The ranges in the Minister of Militia's match having 

 been changed from 500 to 600yds. to 400 and 500, the scoring was 

 consequently much higher than last year. Capt. Sherwood of the 

 Guards, topped the fist in the individual competition with a 

 score of 66 points, which is fifteen points better than the highest 

 score last year. 



The weather on the ranges was uncomfortably cool, and the
