SPANIEL PRIZES AT PITTSBURGH.— New York, Dec. 

 81.— Editor Forest and Stream: In looking over the prem- 

 ium list of the Pittsburgh show I find that the spaniels are 

 very badly treated, and I consider the classification to be a 

 direct insult to spaniel exhibitors. There are no champion 

 classes, and tbe prizes in the opea classes are $5 and a pew- 

 ter medal! The "Dandy" Dinmont and Irish terriers get 

 the same t while in all of the other classes the first prize is 

 at least $10. Even the black and tan terriers— usually one 

 of the smallest classes — get twice as much as the spaniels. 

 "Why this is I do not know, but I do know that I shall not 

 show my pets at Pittsburgh. — Exhibitor.

W. F. M., Kent's Hill, Me.— A cocker spaniel. He has small 

 blotches or pimples in many places upon his body and upon his 

 legs; there is a peculiar odor to the matter which discharges; 

 scabs have formed in many places. What is it? Is it contagious 

 to dog, or to man? Can it be cured? Ans.— It is one form of 

 mange or eczema, a skin disease. You had better keep the dog 

 by himself. Keep the bowels open by teasponnfnl dozes of syrup 

 of buckthorn or two compound cathartic pills hidden in a mor- 

 sel of meat. Give 5 grains of quinine each morning in pill form 

 and apply to affected parts night and morning an ointment made 

 of equal parts of zinc oxide and diachylon ointments.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



CIVILIAN SOLDIERS' MARKSMANSHIP. 



WHEN a dozen or more years ago attention was called to the 

 deficiency which existed in the National Guard in the mat- 

 ter of shooting ability and the National Rifle Association was 

 started to remedy the evil, there was for a time a great deal of 

 misdirected effort, in getting started a smooth-working, practica- 

 ble scheme of rifle drill. The regiments went down and turned a 

 day on the range into a graud junket. This was the first effort. 

 Then came rules and methods, and about, all they succeeded in 

 showing was the utter want of skill on the part of the majority 

 of tbe men. Those who got into condition to shoot accuratelv and 

 well soon discovered that their skill was far in advance of the 

 weapon in their hands, but for all that the bulk of the men then 

 and now are not by a long distance up to the merit of the State 

 aim. It was not until Gen. Robbins took control of this im- 

 portant department of the State military work that a system was 

 put forth which could he readily grasped, and by which a scale of 

 merit could be established as between one organization and 

 another. 



It is a very simple plan. Each season stands by itself. The 

 men and officers are divided into classes. Those who don't go 

 near the range for practice are placed in the third class. Of 

 course at the opening of tbe shooting season, running during the 

 six months ending by the 10th of November, a man who goes to 

 the range and shoots, even if he fails to score anvtbiug or makes 

 such a poor score that it is really nothing more than a fluke, is 

 enrolled m t he second class in the annual returns. A man who 

 manages in 5 shots at 200yds. to make a score of 25 in the possible 

 50 upon the Creedmoor target, is regarded as a first class man on 

 the returns. A marksman goes further and gets a decoration for 

 making a, total of 25 or more in the possible 50 at 200vds. standing 

 and at 500yds. in a prone position, 5 shots being fired at each dis- 

 tance. There is another class of sharpshooters for such as get up 

 to 12 in the possible 50 at these two last-named distances. The 

 sharpshooters are few in number, and in the First Brigade, in- 

 cluding all the infantry in New York city, number 83 during the 

 past year, and of these 49 are in the Seventh Regiment. In 1887 

 there were PS men reaching this high point of merit. 



In the following tables arc given the record made by the soldiers 

 of the New York city brigade during the six years of the present 

 regime. There are eight regiments in the brigade, and they pos- 

 sess varying degrees of excellence. In the first column is given 

 the strength of the organization at the annual muster, allowing 

 that tbe metropolis now has a total of over fifty-two hundred 

 men in her home guard. The next column gives the number of 

 men who found it possible or convenient to go to the range; about 

 Ml per cent, go down, and in this clumn the season just passed 

 does not appear good in comparison with previous years. The 

 absent column are those who did not practice. The v are the 

 '•dead wood" which gets into all organizations. Possibly there 

 are good marksmen among them, probably there are not. The 

 Seventh this year has reached the proud distinction of having 

 every one of her members report at the range for practice at some 

 date during the season, and so avoid the demerit of absenteeism. 

 The interesting part of the table comes in the fourth column. 

 This shows how many men there were who, firing at 200vds. and 

 again at 500yds., managed to make at least 50 per cent, of a per- 

 fect score. Take the series of years right through and it will be 



nearly 60 per cent.

In looking at those figures it should he borne in mind under 

 what condition they are made. The men go down on days fixed 

 on long in advance: they take the weather as they find' it, and 

 cannot pick a day when everything assists in enabling them to 

 roil up a good score. 



This practice is but one part of the powder burning which the 

 soldier is invited to do. He is put through a brief exercise in 

 volley firing and in skirmish work. In these tests the officers do 

 not participate as they do in the individual shooting already 

 given. In vollev and skirmish work the officers take their proper 

 places as directing powers in the work of the company. In volley 

 firing the no - -commissioned officers are drawn up facing a troad 

 target atlOOyds. This target is 6ft. high and has abroad black band 

 2ft. wide horizontally across the middle counting 5, One foot on 

 either side is another division mark, leaving two areas 1ft., eaoh 

 counting 4. The remainder of the target being a band 1ft. wide 

 along the upper and lower edges, counting 2. At the word of com- 

 mand the company fires a round and repeats this five times, 

 making a possible 25 for each man in the ranks. Out of the 3,019 

 who went down to the range during the past >ear, 2,040 took part 

 as shooters in the volley firing. This would make a total possible 

 score of 51,000 and out of this the score actually made was 31,932. 



The skirmish firing is a test of distance judging and is a close 

 simulation of actual practice in the field, in this the regular 

 second class Creedmoor target with its 2ft. hullseye is used. The 

 men are drawn up at about 325yds. from the target, go forward at 

 the word of oommand, halt and fire at irregular otstauce down 

 tbe range as far as the 100yds. point, and back again to the start- 



ing point. The sound of the bugle is used as a signal when to 

 halt and fire, and eaoh man is supposed to use 5 rounds in his 

 march back and forth. There were 2,035 out of the 3.0 '9 who shot 

 in this drill this year, and out of the possible 50,875 grand total 

 score, the record was 18,424. This shows that at the more difficult 

 test of estimating distances and covering them the men did very 

 well and as, snap shots were able to score about 36 per cent of a 

 possible 50,875. 



All the figures are for the men of the New York City Brigade. 

 They are under special disadvantage, in that & trip to Creedmoor 

 is a matter of some considerable expense and much more diffi- 

 culty. It is a day's work to get inan hour or two of practice. The 

 out-of-town commands have a much better chance for gaining 

 efficiency. The New York city guardsman is generally a work- 

 ingmau or a clerk who finds it difficult to get off. The country 

 guardsman is more the master of his own time, and the range 

 may be so near his place of residence that a trip to the butts may 

 be only a matter of a few momenta' time and no expense. The 

 figures show what one body of willing workers have done and 

 what the laggards in the organization have left undone. On the 

 whole they are encouraging, and if a general in the field had a 

 force anywhere near as effective when in actual conflict, he might, 

 number for number, safely defy any body now under arms. 



WILMINGTON, Del., Dec. 5. -To-day was a Christmas long to 

 be remembered at Healdmoor Rifle Ranee. The day was a 

 perfect one for tbe enjoyment of out-door sports and favorable 

 lor good shooting. There was uot only a general turn-out of 

 active riflemen, but the large crowds of visitors testified the 

 growth of this delightful pastime in popular favor. Tbe good 

 order which characterizes the management of these matches not 

 only attracts good citizens as active competitors, but invites a 

 quiet, orderly class of visitore, Th» Quarterly Continuous match 

 ended, and it represents not only an improvement, but far the 

 best shooting ever done by the Wilmmgton Rifle Club. The scores 

 are as follows, standard American target, at 200yds. off-hand:

SNOW FORTS. — A Norwegian officer reports that he has found 

 tightly packed snow to be proof against musketry at an ordinary- 

 range even when less than a yard thick, and he asserts that snow 

 can also resist field artillery. Norway, in that case, can rely on 

 having a good supply of defensive material for parapets in case 

 of operations being undertaken against her in the dead of winter. 

 The use of snow for stopping rifle halls has been common on the 

 ranges here for some time. It is employed instead of sawdust to 

 catch bullets at short range wnen studying the effect of rifling, 

 etc. 



THE NEW WIMBLEDON— Brook wood, near Wokiug, has 

 been fixed upon as the new location for the British National Rifle 

 Association shoots.
