beagles and dachshunde. The president informs ns that 

 the club fears that the annual show this fall will not be held 

 owing to inability to procure a suitable hall for the purpose. 



Lord Jim is just now the observed of all observers. His 

 offer to bet fabulous sums in support of his theory that he 

 was the breeder of the best strain of pointers for the field, 

 etc., finally brought a response from Mr. Duryea, who, it 

 appears, had become weary of the subject, but the "only" 

 breeder "crawled" and flatly refused to put up a cent, but 

 by talking he induced a friend to back one of his strain to 

 the extent of $250 and if nothing happens to prevent the 

 match will come off the coming season. 



There was no quorum at the meeting of the Eastern Field 

 Trials Club on Tuesday. A few members were present, and 

 matters concerning the coming field trials were informally 

 discussed. Col. Arthur Merriniau, of Memphis, Tenn.. was 

 appointed as one of the judges for the Pointer Stake. The 

 "all day heat" field trial was discussed, and it seems likely 

 that such a trial will be held next February. 



The announcement of the All- Aged stakes of the Indiana, 

 Eastern and Central Field Trial Clubs appear in our adver- 

 tising columns this week. We have no doubt that all of 

 them will he well supported and we shall expect to see the 

 coming field trial season eclipse in brilliancy all of its pre- 

 decessors. 



The Georgia Pet Stock Association will hold a six days' 

 show at Augusta, Ga., beginning Jan. 13. 



Mr. E. K. Sperry, of Hartford. Conn., will judge all classes 

 at the dog show to be held at Bristol, Conn., Oct. 1 to 3.

INTER-STATE MATCH IN NEW JERSEY. 



SE A GIRT, N. J., Sept. 4.— The ping of the rifle bullet has been 

 _ heard here all daylong. The occasion was the inter-State 

 rifle match which riflemen everywhere have been looking for- 

 ward to with interest. The contesting teams were from New Jer- 

 sey. New York and Delaware. 



Prominent people from all parts of New Jersey and from other 

 States witnessed the match. Besides Gov. Green and his military 

 staff there were present Gov. Benjamin T. Briggs, of Delaware; 

 ex-Governor Leon Abbott, Mayor Hayes, of Newark; Col. Mulli- 

 gan, of Elizabeth; Robert S. Green, Jr. and party from Elizabeth: 

 Ad.it. -Gen. Wm. S. Stryker, of Trenton; ex-Senator Frederick S. 

 Fish, of Newark; ex-Assemblyman Fred Walter, lawyer John 

 Rellstab, Editor Briest. Councilman Conrad, Commissioner 

 Joseph Rice. Edwin Fitz George, of Trenton, and many others. 



The following officers had charge of (he range: Executive 

 Officer, Brig.-Gen. Bird W. Spencer; Range Officers. Col. G. De 

 Lancey Walker, Col. Thos. S. Chambers, Major Edward Hovt, 

 Capt. Chas. Y. Bamford. Capt. Henry Johnson, Capt. Henry Loh- 

 man, Capt. J. P. Wickershaw, First Lieut. Geo. P. Olcott, First 

 Lieut. Andrew Derrom, Jr.; Statistical Officers, Col. E. A. Camp- 

 bell, Lieut.-Col. H. E. Hamilton, Major P. B. Holmes, Capt. E. G. 

 Edwards, Capt. James W. Moore, Lieut. Joseph F. Cline. 



A strong wind blew across the range from the south, and this 

 had a marked effect on the scores, both of the individual marks- 

 men and of the teams. The Massachusetts team, the Connecticut 

 and Maryland sharpshooters and the regular army marksmen did 

 not. put in an appearance. 



The match opened sharply at 10 o'clock on the 200yds. range. 

 In the afternoon the shooting was at the 500yds. range and ex- 

 citement ran high. The score between New Jersey and New York 

 was very close all along, and at the flnisn it was "neck and neck." 

 The last man to shoot for New Jersey was Private Gladden, and 

 as lie raised his rifle to aim all eyes were centered on him, as a 

 bullseye would tie the score. He had made two bullseyes in his 

 two previous shots. The hopes" of the spectators, however, were 

 not to be realized, for inttead of a bullseye only two were made. 

 This gave the match to New York by three points. The cheering 

 and applause was deafening. Although the sympathies of the 

 spectators were with New Jersey, they were generous enough to 

 give the winning team a hearty send-off. The full score follows:

The trophy which the New York team have won is a magnifi- 

 cent silver piece hammered by hand. It is in the form of a large 

 punch bowl, and is handsomely engraved and finished. The lin- 

 ing of the bowl and ladle is of gold. It cost 1500, and is the gift of 

 the State to the winning team. Oh one side of the piece is the. 

 coat of arms of the State of New Jersey, and on the other side the 

 following inscription: 



"Interstate and United States Army Military Team Match. 

 Presented by the State of New Jersey to the. State of New York. 

 Robert S. Green, Governor, September. 1889." 



Over each handle is the figure of a rifleman in the attitute that 

 is assumed when firing on tfie 500yd. range. The whole is incased 

 in a large oaken, satin-lined box with ah inscription plate on the 

 top. 



Besides the t rophy a handsome gold medal, inscribed "Inter- 

 state Match Winner." goes to the individual members of the win- 

 ning team. 



In the evening the trophy and badges were presented to the 

 New York team by Gov. Green. Neat and appropriate speeches 

 were made on both sides, and then social pleasures occupied the 

 rest of the evening. 



THE CANADIAN WIMBLEDON. 



OTTAWA, Sept. 2.— The city is a perfect medley of uniformed 

 men. All colors and styles are to be seen, and there is even 

 greater diversity in the headgear. Promptly at 8:30 this morning 

 the boom of cannon proclaimed that the twentieth meeting of the 

 Dominion Rifle Association had been inaugurated on the Rideau 

 Ranges. There was no formal ceremony unless the discharge of 

 this fieldpiece be called such. The echoes of its roar nad scarcely 

 died away when the popping of the smaller arms were heard, 

 showing that the marksmen in the Banters Nursery competition 

 had begun their struggle for the prizes. 



The extra series matches, which, like the brook, go on for ever, 

 were also started, and had not been long in progress before it was 

 announced that T. IMitehell, of the 10th Royal Grenadiers, had 

 made a possible. The wind and light for the. greater part of the 

 day were puzzling, and the result in some cases was unsatisfactory 

 scoring. The most interesting feature of the dav's work to the 

 spectators, although very hot work to the participators in them, 

 was the military matches. The skirmishing and volley firing 

 was eagerly watched by an unusually large crowd. The weather 

 was hot in the morning, but as the afternoon wore on a cooling 

 breeze sprang up which was grateful to all alike. 



The formal matches opened with the Nursery, open to members 

 of the association who have not at any previous prize meeting of 

 the D. R. A. won a prize of 810 or upward, exclusive of team or 

 extra prizes, 77 prizes, value $380. entrance fee 60 cents, including 

 ammunition; range 500yds., rounds 5, Snider rifles, position any, 

 with head to target.

Sept. 8— The second day's meet at the Canadian Wimbledon has 

 been as successful as that of yesterday. The day was very hot, 

 the w'nd unsteady, and the light not very good, with the result 

 that scoring generally was not very high, although the Scores 

 which took prizes were quite up to last year's record. The first 

 prize in the Manufacturers' goes to one of the ambitious city's 

 cracks, Sergt. Goodwin; while the first individual prize in the 

 Minister of Militia's match went to Pvt Simpson, the new man of 

 "A" company. Royal Grenadiers, who is doing some good shoot- 

 ing. Sir A. P. Caron was present the greater part of t he after- 

 noon while his cup was beiug competed for. 



Marksmen complained somewhat, of a hazv light, which pre- 

 vented the. scores being as high as they otherwise would be, but 

 for all this the shooting was good. The attendance of visitors on 

 the grounds was larger than has been customary in the past, and 

 everybody is of the opiuion that the meeting is not onlv the 

 largest, but the best ever held by the society. 



There is a good deal of talk about the 10th Royal Grenadiers 

 and the 43d Battalion. It will be remembered that when it was 

 hinted that the team of the 10th could give the Massachusetts 

 sharp-shooters a brush for victory, the 43d men asked who are the 

 10th Grenadiers that they should pose as the crack shots of the 

 Dominion. Now, as the 10th in two team competitions have beaten 

 the 43d, there was considerable joking to-day. 



The shooting to-day commenced at 8:30 o'clock this morning 

 with the Extra Series, and at 9:30 firing was proceeded with in the 

 Manufacturers' match. There were 412 entries, as against 344 

 last year. This match is open to all members of the Association, 

 7 rounds at 500yds., Snider rifle, 82 prizes, with a total value of 

 $585. The following is the result:

 chairman of the executive committee, occupied the chair. Capt. 

 Hood, of the Roval Scots, and Adjutant of the Wimbledon team, 

 spoke of the team of 1889 as being the best ever sent from Canada.

 that the officer commanding the team should have power to tele- 

 graph the resiilt to any paper named. He said that while it was 

 impossible for the Canadians to get a match with the Americans 

 while in England, he would just say that when the Canadian
