 nato and C. R. Terwilliger. The conditions were 21yds. rise, both 

 barrels, at 20 birds, and Preyer easily secured the first prize by

CINCINNATI, July 30.— AlBaudle, who is matched to shoot J. L. 

 Winston a 100 live-bird match at St. Louis, Wednesday, , I ulv 21, 

 will leave with a delegation of local shooters to-morrow night." He 

 will stop at Belleville, 111., the guest of the gun club there, and on 

 Tuesday will shoot at 100 live birds in practice for his big event. 

 The betting on the result, which was even two weeks ago, has 

 Bow turned to odds in favor of Bandle, this owing, perhaps, to 

 the latter's fine shooting in practice the last two weeks. Tin- 

 shoot will take place at the Compton Avenue Ball Park, and will 

 be at 100 single live pigeons, under London Gun Club rules, 31yds. 

 rise, birds to be sprung from 5 ground traps, and the stake to be 

 $250 a side and expenses. The confidence Cincinnati sheoti rs lay 

 in Bandle, their champion, will make the aggregate Cincinnati 

 money number in the thousands. Mr. Edwin Taylor, an old-timer 

 and experienced live-bird shot, will coach and look out. for Ban- 

 die's interest on the occasion, and steer him on the way to victory 

 and the mighty dollars of the hungry St. Louis pigeon-shooters. 

 Bandle has a hard race before him, but he has had harder ones 

 and won them, and all the boys here think a victory for him cer- 

 tain.

E. A. B.— Will you please inform me whether it is necessary for 

 a person shooting in the. State of New Jersoy to belong to a shoot- 

 ing club or game association of that St ate? Ans. The New Jersey 

 law requires that non-residents of the State shall not fish and 

 shoot ''without complying with the by-laws of the game protec- 

 tive societies, organized, or to be organized, under the laws of this 

 State;" and a penalty of $50 is provided. This is interpreted by 

 the societies to mean that a non-resident must before fishing or 

 shooting become a member of one of the societies, and take out a 

 certificate to that effect; and persons have been arrested for not 

 doing this; and they have paid their fines on the principle that it 

 was cheaper to pay than to fight. 



M. M. M., Ripley, O.— My pug dog was bred by Mr. ,Tohn Green, 

 of Liverpool, Eng., and is registered in the A. K. R. No. 5750. My 

 pug bitch Vixen (A.K.R. 3958) was bred by Geo. Gillivan, West 

 Jefferson, O.; sire, champion Bradford Ruby; dam. Flossy (A.K.R. 

 2250). Now, the secretary of the American Kennel Club refuses 

 to register pups from this pair. He also refuses to register my 

 dog Christy and bitch Vixen, although the siro and dam are reg- 

 istered in the A.K.C.S.B., which, according to their first condi- 

 tion, entitles her to registry. My dog being imported, his sire a nd 

 dam would not be registered in the A.K.C.S.B., as per Condition 

 First. But I furnished him the pedigree as given me when 1 

 bought him, extending back three generations in England, as per 

 Condition Second. Are they not entitled to registry? Ans. Vixen 

 is eligible, as her sire i3 already registered. No. 1970, and her dam 

 also, No. 4450. If , as you state, you have furnished the pedigree 

 of Christy for three generations, he is also eligible.
