F. B. D., Woodstock, Vt.— 1 have a pup covered with warts of a 

 flesh color and soft, except on the ends, which are hard and rough; 

 some of them are -Min. iu length; others are large in size and Hat. 

 Can you give me any advice as to the cure of them? Ans. The 

 larger ones can he snipped off with strong sharp scissors and the 

 basis cauterized with strong nitric acid or nitrate of silver (lunar 

 Caustic). The smaller oues may be burned down without cutting. 

 See a veterinary. 



W. G. H., Washington.— Will you please inform me in vour next 

 paper what to do for my pug dog? His skin was red in the first 

 place and now he is covered with little bunches all over him and 

 he is losing his hair and has a bad odor. Ans. Use zinc oxide 

 ointment every day, rubbing it in after washing. Keep the 

 bowels open with a teaspoonsful of syrup of buckthorn every 

 other day, and give 5 drops of Fowler's solution ot arsenic in the 

 food each day. 1 f the dog is very fat get the weight down. Feed 

 once daily, and stop the arsenic at the end of three weeks. 



JP.J. R.,Evanston,Wyo. Ter.— I have a fine Gordon setter puppv 

 six months old. He has had a bad attack of distemper, from 

 which he is just recovering, and is now troubled with a very 

 severe nervous twitching in right foreleg. Local authorities say 

 it is probably St. Vitus's dance. I have been giving him 0 drops 

 of Fowler's solution of arsenic three times a dav for the last 

 week, but it does not appear to do him any good. Will you kindly 

 advise me in your next issue what 1 had better do for him? Ans. 

 Give one-quarter grain of extract of mix vomica in pill form three 

 times daily. You can hide the pill in a bit of meat. Do not teed 

 meat, Keep the bowels easy with teaspoonful doses of syrup of 

 buckthorn. Rubbing with a stimulating linament like chloro- 

 form linament, will benefit. Exercise regularly. From time to 

 time put the puppy on Fowler's solution for a w'eek, as vou have 

 done.

I. P. McK., Detroit.— Please inform concerning the famous 

 brook trout said to have been killed in the Sagueuav River, Can-

 on this by the New York Clipper some ten or twelve years ago- 

 that paper gave the full history of the fish, and declared it a real 

 brook trout. Ans. The above-mentioned specimen was not ex- 

 amined by competent authority, so far as we are aware. The 

 largest brook or speckled trout of which we have a well-authen- 

 ticated record is the 12-pounder taken bv Mr. Seth Green and Dr 

 Hoy in the Sault Ste. Marie; the U-pounder of Professos Agassiz 

 taken from the headwaters of the Androscoggin River, Maine, in 

 1860, and the 10-pounder (probably 11 when taken from the water) 

 captured by Geu. Shepard Page in Rangelev Lake.

THE SEA GIRT SHOOT. 



OCR next week's issue will contain the result iu detail of 

 the Inter-State military shoot: set down for Sept. 4, at the 

 New Jersey State Camp at Sea Girt, It is believed that New York 

 will send a winning (cam to the range. This depends, however, 

 on whether the State of Massachusetts enters its celebrated team 

 in the competition, In such an event the New York team expects 

 to gain second place, since it is h irdly possible under the circum- 

 stances to wrest victory from a team whose members are safely 

 to be relied on to average 45 points at 200 and 5lX)yds. out of a 

 highest attainable of 50, with a corresponding average at 600yds. 

 All is not harmony so far as the selection of a team "to represent 

 New York is concerned. The selection of a team to represent 

 this State has been intrusted by the Commander-in-Chief, through 

 the Adjutant General, to the General Inspector of Rifle Practice, 

 Brigadier General Charles F. Bobbins, who has entered upon the 

 task of choosing the twelve men who are to uphold the shooting 

 repute of the National Guard in a systematic manner. He has 

 decided to invite men to accept places upon the team upon the 

 strength solely of past achievement or reputation. The list of 

 sharpshooters throughout the State who have shown themselves 

 competent to score 73 points or bet ter at 201) and 500yds., 5 shots at 

 each distance, has been scanned, and those men have been re- 

 quested, by letter, to shoot iu a stated number of competi- 

 tions, with a view to demonstrating what they are ca- 

 pable of accomplishing at the present time. From those 

 the twelve contestants will be selected. Th-s course has been 

 found fault with because so-called "reliable" shots have been 

 ignored. It is claimed that the team should be made up in ac- 

 cordance with established precedent; stated days of competition 

 should be designated and no records made in matches of the Na- 

 tional Rifle Association be accepted. As this has not been done, 

 it is claimed that failure will follow. To this the friends of Gen. 

 Robbins say, that if the coming match were a competition of 

 minor importance, the claims of the individuals, and of the 

 organizations of which they are the representatives, might prop- 

 erly be considered. But the event is a contest in which New York 

 is called upon to put forward the utmost shooting strength of its 

 National Guard. There are in the State two score reliable"team" 

 men. Of individual shots, capable of making brilliant records 

 upon occasion, there are a great number, but the latter are not 

 available to the present purpose. From present appearance the 

 majority of the team is likely to be taken from Brooklyn. It is 

 doubtful whether the Seventh Regiment will have a representa- 

 tive. Results at Creedmoor of late years have indicated that the 

 Twenty third Regiment of Brooklyn is possessed of the strongest 

 team shooting organization in the National Guard of the State, 

 and eigut of the twelve men will be cho en, on their merits, from 

 the Twenty-third. The Sixty-ninth will have one representative, 

 and the First Brigade furnish the tenth man, the two remaining 

 members being drawn from organizations in the interior of the 

 State. 



Gen. Bobbins, who will captain the New York team, has an ex- 

 cellent roll to select from. The list of experienced shooters and 

 team men from which the twelve are to be selected comprises the 

 well-known names of Shepherd, Scott, Hamlin, Hamilton, Wells, 

 Elliott, Ball and Stokes of the Twenty-third Regiment, Brooklyn; 

 Assistant Surgeon Linsley, Twelfth Regimeni; Sergt. Frank J. 

 Stuart, Sixty-ninth Regiment; Corp. John F. Klein, Seventeenth 

 Separate Company of Infantry, Flushing; Major Chas. H. Gaus, 

 Third Brigade, Albany; Lieut. Wm. J. Underwood and Pvt. Alex. 

 Stein, Seventh Regiment, New York city, and Pvt. D. H. Ogden, 

 Twentieth Separate Company, Binghamton. With two excep- 

 tions the tifteen experts here named are veterans. 



The following members of the National Guard were selected to 

 represent New Jersey in the. match: 



Col. .lames M. Yan Yalen, Assistant Inspector-General of Rlflo 

 Practice. 



Col. John C. Owens, Assistant Inspector-General of Rifle Prac- 

 tice. 



Oapt. Wm. F. Decker, Co. C, First Battalion. 

 Capt. Thos. A. Curtis, Inspector of Rifle Practice, Third Regi- 

 ment,

Those who have been selected to shoot on the team have been 

 industriously practicing on the State range, the practice having 

 been under the supervision of Col. G. E. P. Howard, who was 

 captain of the last American military team that crossed the 

 ocean, 'the members of the team were quartered in tents on the 

 ground at the Governor's cottage. About 8 A. M. daily the men 

 began practicing at the 200yds. range and then fired at the 500yds. 

 range After lunch the same programme was repeated. 



The New Jersey team have the latest model Springfield rifle with 

 "Buffington" rear sight and improved front sight cover, using 

 the triangular open sight at 200yds and the peep sight at 500yds. 



The Delaware team arrived at the camp on Wednesday, Aug. 

 28. and began practising on Thursday moraine. The team is as 

 follows: Maj. C. W. Cary, Oapt. John S. Willis, Capt. Isaac J.

 uses the improved Springfield rifle. 



On Monday the Xew York team arrived at the range from 

 Creedmoor, where they have been practicing for the last two 

 weeks. 



ZETTLER RIFLE CLUB.— On the 27th ult, was held the six- 

 teenth annual shooting festival of the Zettler Rifle Club, which 

 was held at Charles C. Wessel's Cypress Hills Park, and the 

 crack shots of the vicinity reigned supreme during the day. for 

 the crack of the rifle began at 7 o'clock in the morning, and the 

 last shot was not fired until fourteen minutes past seven at night. 

 Then a brass howitzer was discharged and the shooting termi- 

 nated. The entry lists were all well filled and some excellent 

 scores were made, the average being a very high grade of marks- 

 manship. The club officers are as follows: Bernard Walther, 

 President: N. D. Ward, Recording Secretary; A. P. Hunt, Cor- 

 responding Secretary, and B. Zettler, Shooting Master. The com- 

 mittee in charge of the festival were: \V, B. Hanscom, M. Dorr-

CREEDMOOR. Sept , 2.— The biggest match day this season at 

 Creedmoor took place to-day. There were matches, and the com- 

 petitors from the different regiments N. G., S. N. Y' , were at the 

 range in full force. The shooting began at 9:30 A. M., and the 

 crack of the rifles did not cease until 5:30 o'clock. Tie day was a 

 fair one, but was not termed by the marksmen as favorable for 

 shooting. In the morning the sky was too bright for the shooters, 

 and in the afternoon and toward evening the marksmen com- 

 plained ot a tricky, fish-tail wind that blew on either aide of the 

 range; consequently better scores have been made. But the 

 officers of the National Rifle Association said the scores weie 

 good, and that they were well pleased with the success of the 

 meetinsr. Large representations from the 7th. 23d, 9th, 13th, 13th, 

 11th, 22d, 47th, 69th, 71st, 32d, and the 17th separate company 

 were present The following are the prize winners who previ- 

 ously won medals at 200 and 500yds.. making a score of 45 points or 

 more out of a possible 50:
