this country, and have gone far beyond what is done by our 

 club. The. English Kennel Club would never have ventured 

 upon such an arrogant step as insisting that all judges at 

 shows held under Kennel Club rules should write the reports 

 for their paper. The utmost that they do is to forward a 

 polite appeal to the judges at their own shows for their 

 notes on the classes they nudged. This courteous request is 

 often acceded to and sometimes not. To many men sucli a 

 task is not easy — nay, it is even disagreeable, and we are 

 pleased to say that in this monarchical country we are too 

 independent to be bullied into doing other people's work. 

 Jf our committees with their invitations to judge were to 

 couple the request for a gratuitous report, they would have 

 to create a new breed of judges, for the body of men who at 

 present give their services gratis would draw the line at 

 being compelled to act as reporters at the same time." For 

 the information of the Stock Keeper we -will say that "the 

 honor of the thing" is not, as a rule, the> only compensation 

 our judges receive, as very few of them do not pocket a 

 round fee for their services. 



The amendment to the rules of the A. K. C. proposed by 

 Dr. Perry at the last meeting; of the club, which will com- 

 pel all judges at dog shows to write a report of their classes, 

 is rather too arbitrary, and we fear that the result aimed at 

 will not be accomplished nearly so satisfactorily as it would 

 be were the matter differently arranged. Official reports of 

 the judges are desirable, and their publication iu the Ken- 

 nel Gazette would be useful to the exhibitor as well as 

 gratifying to the public, We believe that this could be ac- 

 complished, in most cases at least, by a courteous request 

 for such report instead of an imperative demand. Man the 

 world over is notoriously a very contrary animal to drive, 

 but a little coaxing will nearly always succeed in accom- 

 plishing its purpose. 



We published iu this column in our issue of Aug. 15 an 

 article from the Stock-Keeper relating to Mr. Hnscroft, who, 

 it will be remembered promulgated the Salisbury pedigree 

 scandal. The article, among other things, slated that it 

 was the belief at the Stock- Keeper that Mr. Hnscroft had 

 furnished other journals with advance news of the doings 

 of the Kenuel Club. Fanciers' Gazette having published 

 Mr. Huscrott's denial of this charge, regards us as " guilty 

 of gross unfairness " in not apologizing for having published 

 the charge. This strikes us as being very, very funny, as this 

 charge was a trivial one compared to the other charges which 

 neither the Gazette nor Mr. Hnscroft disprove or even apolo- 

 gize for. 



The Eastern Field Trials Club has si cured the services of 

 Mr. D. C. Bergundthal, of Indianapolis, Ind.. and Mr. J. R. 

 Henricks, of Pittsburgh, Pa., to judge at their coming field 

 trials. Mr. F. I. Stone, of Chattanooga, Tenn., was also in- 

 vited, but owing to business engagements he was obliged to 

 decline. As already aunounced, Col. Arthur Merriman, of 

 Memphis, Tenn., will be one of the judges in the Pointer 

 Stakes, and we hope to be able to announce the third judge 

 for the Setter Stakes next week.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 PW Wo Notice Taken ot Anonymous Correspondents. 



L, J., Brooklyn.— f have a small King Charles spaniel, 5 years 

 old, and 1 feed on bread and crackers soaked in tea, with sugar 

 sprinkled over it, and very little meat. She is continually scrat ch- 

 ing her.-elf and hack sf ems to itch most, and her breath is very 

 foul. Teeth are iu fair condition, but front upper set is goue 

 Kindly advise me in one of your issues what can be done for tier 

 and Oblige subscriber. Ans. Give 5 drops of Fowler's solution of 

 arsenic in the food daily. Give a 3-grain pill of quinine hidden in 

 a morsel of mea t each day. 



J. E. V., New City, N. V.— I have a poiuter dog, 6 vears old, 

 weight 451bs., that has been troubled for the last two vears with 

 sore feet. Sometimes they seem to be nearly well and then t|v y 

 break out again, and look as if they had been scalded between the 

 toes and on the bottoms around the ball of the foot, I have used 



remedies recommended for mange. I think it must be his blood 

 that is impure. Ans. Wash between toes and after drying dust 

 on dry calomel powder. Do this night and morning. Fowler's 

 solution, 5 drops daily in the food, is an exoellent general tonic. 



M. W., East Hampton.— My pointer dog has had sore eyes since 

 last June: they run matter all the time. We have done all we 

 can for him. He is 15mos. old; is dull and stupid; when I speak to 

 him he. hones his head and seems frightened. When I got him he 

 was all covered with small lumps, but I kept washing him with 

 carbolic soap and they are all gone. There seems to be a skin 

 growing over his eyes. Ans. Looks like distemper, Give 5 grains 

 quinine night and morning in a pill concealed in a bit, of meat. 

 Also give 5 drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic in the food once 

 daily. Feed very little, or no meat. Keep the bowels open by giv- 

 ing one or two blue pills as s°ems necessary.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



REGIMENT VS. STATE. 



rpHE intimation that the 23d Regiment of this State would like 

 X to pit a team against a team from a Massachusetts regiment 

 was not responded to, and now the following correspondence has 

 passed in the endeavor of the Brooklyn boys to get on a match: 



Brooklyn, Sept. 25. 

 Col. H.I. Rockwell, Inspect or-Gcncro I of liiih Practice, State of 

 Massachusetts: 



Sir— I have the honor to submit to you the following proposi- 

 tion: In order to test the relative merits of the Springfield 45cal. 

 rifles and the Remington .SOoal. rifles, the 3od Regiment, N. (■>., S. 

 N. Y., would like to arrange two matches with the Massachusetts 

 Rifle team under the following conditions: First match, the 23d 

 Regiment to use the Remington .5()cal. rifles «,nd the Massachu- 

 setts team the Springfield rifles. Second match, to exchange rifle 

 actually used in former competition, each team to furnish to th_ 

 other the elevations used in former match. Considerations as to 

 distance, number of shots, etc., to be mutually agreed upon here- 

 after. The 23d Regiment will furnish you 15 or 20 Reming- 

 ton .50oal. rifles to use in practice, von to provide the 33d Regi- 

 ment team a like number of Springfield rifles. Wo desire a 

 friendly contest to try and solve the vexed problem of the relative 

 merits of guns aud men. 



The 23d Regiment will accept an v Massachusetts man as referee 

 aud agree to terms that would be fair to all parties. We hope you 

 will give this proposition favorable consideration, and advise us of 

 your decision at an early date. Very respectfully your obedient 

 servant, Heywood C. Brodn. 



Capt. and Insp. Rifle Practice, 23d Regiment, N. G. S. N. Y. 



To this challenge Col. Rockwell replied as follows: 



Boston. Mass., Sept. 28, 1889. 

 Capt. JT. C. Broun, t R. P., SIM Regiment N Y. S. N. <?.; 



Sir— The matches you propose would be interesting, whether 

 successful in sett Hug mooted points or not. I doubt", however, 

 whether it would he practicable this season to get a team to- 

 gether. Our fall drills are yet to occur, and these, added to other 

 State duties performed and rifle matches engaged in, will take all 

 the time that some of the men can possibly spare. There might 

 be a possibility,however,of your getting on a competition through 

 the inspector of the 2d Regiment. 1 would suggest that you ad- 

 dress Lieut S. S. Bumstead. I. R. P., 2d Regiment M. V. M., Spring- 

 field, Mass. He may be able to make up a team from the imme- 

 diate neighborhood, with one or two additions from this part of 

 the State, so as to meet you with 8 or 1(1 men. Permit me to add 

 that whatever has appeared in the public press in the way of 

 undue hoastfulness about our Massachusetts team is not attribu- 

 table to me or to anv other representative of the State. We have 

 for years recognized your New York troops as affording an ex- 

 ample for emulation in rifle shooting, and it has been our ambi- 

 tion to put ourselves on your level. If we have the privilege and 

 pleasure to meet your State team in future years we hope to 

 come off with credit, whether winning or losiiig, but those who 

 speak of any of the team habitually measuring strength at Creed- 

 moor as " invincible " are. badly advised. I am. very respectfully, 

 your obedient servant. H. C. Rockwell, 



Col. and Insp.-Gen. Rifle Practice, M. V. M. 



ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 21.— The second shoot of the St. Louis 

 P'Stol Club on its new tourney took place last Wednesday night 

 at the Laclede Gallery. Although the attendance was rather ligbt 

 several good scores were made by those who participated in the 

 shoot. At a 20yds. Standard American target the following scores 

 were made:

Sept. 88 — Only six members of the St. Louis Pistol Club were 

 present at the last mednl shoot held on Wednesday night at tbe 

 Laclede Gallery. An 86 by Mohrstadr proved high, and" the medal

UTTCA, N. Y., Sept. 23.— The contest between the Frankfort 

 Rifle Club and the Fort Schuyler Rifle Association was held this 

 afternoon at the range in Deerfield. The contest was spirited, 

 and over 200 spectators enjoyed the sport. Although the visiting 

 team made some good shots, the home club won by 39 points. 

 The feature of the contest was the excellent record w-hieh F. 

 Ferris made with his muzzleloading rifle, the only muzzleloading 

 gun used. He easily won first place, while Mr. Stoddard of the 

 Frankfort Club secured the second. Below is the official score, 

 each marksman being allowed 10 shots at 200yds.:

The visiting team was handsomely entertained by the Fort 

 Schuyler Association. 



MARION, N. J., Sent. 25.— At the weeklv shoot of the Marion 

 Rifle Club, which was held to-day, Mr. L. Variek, the youngest 

 member of the club, and who may be termed an amateur along- 

 side of the other crack marksmen comprising this organization, 

 made the highest score that was ever shot on the club's range. 

 Ke scored 210 points out of a possible 230, 



FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Sept. 26.— The annual State shoot of the 

 Massachusetts militia was held here to-day under rather unpleas- 

 ant auspices. The rain which descended at intervals, and the 

 cloudiness of the atmosphere, did not help the shooting, but some 

 remarkable scores were made nevertheless. The general run of 

 the shooting was considerably above that of last year, and with- 

 out doubt, the brilliant trip of the Massachusetts rifle team to 

 England has inspired the younger members of the militia to take 

 up rifle shooting. Each company in the State was represented by 

 a team of seven men, who shot for the company prize. Company 

 A, Sixth Regiment, was victorious, winning the first prize by a 

 score of 201 out of a possible 245. The remainder of the matches 

 were not finished, owing to the rain and darkness, and may possi- 

 bly be shot at some later day. The scores in detail are as follows:

WIMBLEDON'S SECRETARY. — It is with very deep regret 

 that we announce that Captain Mildmay has resigned the secre- 

 taryship of the National Rifle Association, It is now very nearly 

 thirty years since he was appointed to that important office, the 

 very onerous duties of which he has for that long period per- 

 formed with the greatest conscientiousness and the highest abil- 

 ity. Of Captain Mildmay's unfailing kindness and court esv we 

 need not speak— they are well known to all who have had any- 

 thing to do with 'Wimbledon." He is, indeed, weli entitled to 

 his retirement after his long and arduous service, but we fear 

 that the Council of tbe National Rifle Association will not have 

 a very easy task to find a new secretary who will be as well quali- 

 fied for the post as Captain Mildmay.— Volunteer Service Gazette. 

 [We would heartily second the kind words of our English con- 

 temporary with remembrance of the most kindly attention shown 

 us by the retiring secretary upon Wimbledon range.]
