FOREST AND STREAM. 



LJan. 9, 1890. 



A. K. C. STUD BOOK REGULATIONS.— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: I have bad two mastiff pedigrees sent me 

 lately with a view of the animals being entered in that com- 

 pendium of blunders, the official Stud Book of the American 

 Kennel Cluh. In one case I was able to supply all the links 

 of the three generations required, in the other there was a 

 fatal defect in the animal's grand darn having no ascertained 

 pedigree. Now for the. animals: the first was a fifty cent 

 mastiff owned in the West, and in the entire pedigree, the 

 only animals of the least merit were Hero II. and my late 

 De Buch. The other was none other than the famous Cam- 

 brian Princess, the greatest prize winning bitch that ever 

 appeared in England, a bitch that has beaten every crack in 

 England save Jack Thyr and perhaps Beaufort, a bitch, 

 litter sister to the famed King Canute, said to be the best 

 all-round dog ever seen in England, and to crown all, the 

 dam of Minting. Yet plenty of miserable scrubs and mon- 

 grels, whose pedigrees are nothing but a string of names, 

 can get into the Stud Book, and such a bitch as this is ex- 

 cluded. Volumes could not more clearly show the intense 

 stupidity of the regulations that guide this ridiculous bant- 

 ling and money-making expedient.— W. WADE (Hulton, Pa., 

 Jan. 3). 



COLLIE STUD DOG STAKES.— The attention of the 

 executive committee has been called to the unnecessary re- 

 striction as to date of birth of the progeny, by which the 

 stud dog is to be judged, and it being the object to encour- 

 age and not restrict competition, it is hereby ordered that 

 the date be extended to include any born since Jan. 1, 1888, 

 provided they have not previously competed for the stake. 

 Stud dogs and their progeny may be entered for competition 

 any time previous to Jan. 27. No blanks required: send 

 names and description with fee inclosed to J. D. Shotwell, 

 secretary, Rah way, N. J. 



EASTERN COURSING CLUB MEET. — Editor Forest 

 and Strea.)n: The Eastern Coursing Club's meet was held 

 to-day. The S. P. C. A. officers were there in full force, but 

 did not interfere with the coursing. The result was as fol- 

 lows: Winner of the cup, Mr. P. Hoey's Minnie Staton; 

 runner up, Mr. W. B. Growl age's Zoe: Mr. BT. W. Hunting- 

 ton's Highland Chief and Mr. W. R. Caminoni's Wanda 

 divided third. Darkness prevented further coursing. The 

 Puppy Stakes did not fill. — H. W. Huntingtok, Sec'y. 



RABBITS IN ENGLAND. — Editor Forest and Stream: 

 In your answers to correspondents (Dec. 19) "M. H. C." asks 

 if rabbits are classed as game in England, and if there is 

 any law prot ecting them. Unless the law has been changed 

 of late years, rabbits are not classed as game, nor is there 

 any law to protect them, except that you cannot shoot them 

 without permission of land owner or of tenant. You can 

 shoot them without a game license, but must have a gun 

 license costing about $2 50 per year.— R. 



EASTERN FIELD TRIALS CLUB MEETING.— The 

 adjourned annual meeting of the Eastern Field Trials Club 

 will be held at the office of Mr. F. R. Hitchcock. 44 Broad-

 tion of officers, business of importance will be transacted.

 to the secretary, Mr. W. A. Coster, 44 Broadway, New York. 



ST. BERNARD CLUB MEETING.— The January meet- 

 ing of the Board of Governors of the St. Bernard Club of 

 America will be held Jan. 13, at 7 P. M., at the Hoffman 

 House, Nesv York. A full attendance is requested, as a 

 uumber of applications for membership are pending. The 

 annual meeting will be held Feb. 11, at 7 P. M., at the West- 

 minster Kennel Club show, American Institute Fair Build- 

 ing, New York.— Lorenzo Daniels, Sec'y. 



BELGIAN HARES — Rye, N. Y., Dee. 2Q.—FfJUor Forest 

 and Stream: Will some one kindly give me some informa- 

 .tion through Foeest and Stream. I am at present engaged 

 in breediug Belgian hares for the purpose of turning them 

 loose in the spring. Will they make good work for a dog 

 when hunted:'' How will they compare with the cottontail 

 or the English hare in the chase?— G. W. G. 



FOXHOUNDS LOST.— Six foxhounds, one spotted, two 

 black and three black, white and tan, with collars marked 

 "Myopia Hunt, Hamilton, Mass.," have been lost. Any in- 

 formation regarding them will be thankfully received and

LIVER, WHITE AND IjEMON. -Editor Forest and 

 Stream: I ha ve a fine-bred pointer dog marked in the three 

 distinct colors of liver, white and lemon. Is the marking 

 anything unusual ?— J. F. Wright. [This combination of 

 color is not often seen. We remember but two cases of the 

 kind where the different colors were well defined.] » 



ANDY MCGREGOR. — Editor Forest and Stream: I wish 

 to say through your valuable paner that my dog Audy Mc- 

 Gregor, which showed up so well in the Eastern Coursing 

 Club meet, has really the name Scudding Cloud Li, K, B. 

 6022). The. name of Audy McGregor was a mistake.— 

 Erastus Hopkins (Worcester, Jan. 3).

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



AT CONLIN'S IN 1889, 



During the past year a great many very interesting indoor 

 records with rifle and revolver have been made at Conklin's gal- 

 lery, Tlnrtv-flrst street andiBroadway. this city. Among the feats 

 accomplished with the revolver at 12s r ds. are the following six best 

 scores of a large number on the Standard Decimal target. The 

 possible on this target is 60, size of bullseye is l'4in.; to make the 

 possible it is necessary to hit a circle, of K'in. Major W. R. Pryor 

 and Ed Wassermann have each a perfect score. A. A. Cohen and 

 Theo. E. Beck have 59. Geo. Bird and J. T. B. Collins have 58. C. 

 F. Stagg has 57. 



Shooting at suspended musket bullets is another very difficult 

 feat with the revolver. The four leaders and their records are: 

 Major W. R. Pryor, 8 consecutive 11 in 12 shots; J. T. B. Collins, 8 

 consecutive 9 in 11 shots; Geo. Bird, 6 consecutive; Capt. T. B. 

 Swift, 5 in 6 shots. 



On the Massachusetts target the bullseye is l^in. diameter, bur 

 in OTder to make, a full score or 73, it is necessary to hit a circle of 

 %in. Among the best of the many the leading ones are: George 

 Bird and A. A. Cohen, full score each of 6 shots at 12vds. 

 distance. J. T. B Collins and Geo. L. Garrigues have each 71. 

 W. R. Pryor, Theo. E. Beck and A. L. Brackett have 70 each. 

 Edward Wassermann has 69 to his credit 



What can be accomplished with a double-action revolver can 

 be seen by the following, each shot being fatal at 12vrls. if filed at 

 a burglar: A. A. Cohen and Wm. Kent have each fired 5 shots in 

 Mof a second. George Bird, Pierre Lorillard, Jr., and Capt. 

 Thpo. H. Swift have fired 5 shots in 1 second. 



To split the edge of a playing card with a rifle bullet is a thing 

 most people will not credit, still the following will show what 

 some of Conlm's patrons can do in this line: R. V. R. Schuyler 

 succeeded in splitting 10 consecutively at the word, Geo. Baird, 

 M. Bixby and W. K. Griffin have 9 in 10 shots. P. Lorillard has 

 7 consecutive of 8 in 10 shots, E. H. Wales and Fred Sands have 

 Teach. J. L.Webb and J. B. Blydenburerh have 6 in 10 shots. 

 The size of the bullet used is .22. With the revolver it is more 

 difficult, as you are only allowed the use of one hand, still the 

 following few will show what can be clone with this weapon of 

 defense: The revolver used is the .Ileal. Smith & Wesson, single 

 action. Geo. Bird split 10 in 13 shots. A. A. Cohen has 6 consecu- 

 tive in 12 in 14 shots. 



The silver coin target was designed by Mr. J. S. Confin to give 

 an exact idea of what could be done with the American weapon 

 in the hands of a good shot. The whole diameter of the target is 

 the size of a silver dollar and counts 1, the second ring counts 2 

 and is the size of a 50 cent piece, the third i iug counts 3 and is the 

 size of a 25-cent piece, the bullseye counts 4 and is the size of 

 alO-cent piece, inside of the bullseye is a white ring which counts 

 5, it is the size of the old 5-cent piece. On this target at a distance 

 of 100ft. the following gentlemen have succeeded in hitting the 5- 

 cent piece or center the following number of times: H. C." Stark- 

 weather 35, W. C. Althause and Chas. Mehlig 28. C. F. Stagg and 

 C. C. Hiscoe 21, D. Crocker and C. L. Pottie 7. With revolver 

 this same object has been hit by Geo. Bird, Ed. Wasserman, W. 

 R. Pryor and A. A. Cohen 5 times in 6 shots each; on the "expert" 

 target, which is designed for very close work with rifle and re- 

 volver, the rings on this target are .22in. apart. The best rifle 

 records on this target are H. L. Lee 98, C. C. Hiscoe 98. Mai. D. 

 Crocker and H.C. Starkweather 97, C. F. Stagg, Geo. Bird, Ma J. 

 v\ . R. Pryor and W. C. Althause 90 each. These scores are only 

 a few of the thousands on exhibition which can he seen in the 

 record room of this celebrated gallery- 



_ BOSTON, Jan. 1.— The Massachusetts Rifle Association opened 

 its new matches at Walnut Hill to-day. Only a few shooters were 

 present, but the shooting was lively. The conditions for shooting 

 were poor, it being dark, and a ti o'clock, fishtail wind blowing. 

 Mr. Burnite won the silver military medal. Following are the 

 best scores made:

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



|31?~ No Notice Taken ot Anonymous Correspondents. 



E. E. G., Providence.— A ns. Give the dog 5grs. of quinine highl- 

 and morning in a pill hidden in a bit of meat, and give also a tea- 

 spoonful of syrup of buckthorn each day for fo r days. 



R. O. S., St. John.N. B. — A_ns. 1 . Give 2 teaspoonsful of castor oil 

 and follow this in three hours with lOgrs. areca nut powder made 

 iu a pill. Give 2grs. of quinine twice daily. 2. Letter received 

 and will be published. 



J. B. T., Hudson, Mich.— English setter puppy 3^ months, have 

 had about 10 weeks; when he came from the kennel he was cov- 

 ered with lice and small sores. I have got rid of the lice, the 

 sores are all healed except three or four, which are much better; 

 but when the skin is broken by cat scratches or any other cause 

 the places do not heal readily. Is his blood in bad condition, and, 

 if so, what medicine should be given ? Ans. Give 2grs. quinine 

 pill three times daily, paint the sores with balsam of Peru, give 

 half a teaspoonf ul of syrup of buckthorn. 



C. E. P., Hartford.— Can you tell me what to do for a 9-months- 

 old St. Bernard bitch that is lame ? Seems to be in the left leg, or 

 at the loin where the leg joins backbone. Has been so about 8 

 months; does not affect running or walking, and is only lame 

 after resting. Seems to be in part mentioned, and I think she 

 does not stand full on that leg — think she stands on the toes of 

 that foot. Ans. Looks like rheumatic joint trouble. Give 5grs. 

 salol three times daily. Keep bowels easy with teaspoon.doses of 

 syrup of buckthorn. 



ELLIOTT'S KANSAS CITY SHOOT. 



KANSAS CITY. Mo,, Dec. 24.— The third annual tournament 

 given by J. A. R. Elliott, opened this morning to continue 

 four days. There was not a very large attendance in the moro- 

 i tier, owing to the fact that many were interested in the outcome 

 of the Erb trial and they remained down town expecting it to 

 come off. The weather was somewhat cloudy part of the day, 

 although not enough so to mar the sport. The temperature was 

 exceptionally mild. The park where the shoot was held is a new- 

 one. The shooter faces directly north and a rapidly rising hill 

 acts as a background. This is not so serious for live bird shoot- 

 ing as for targets, still if the shooter is not careful on live birds 

 he is very apt to undershoot, because when tailing or quartering 

 to the lett they are constantly rising very rapidly. 

 Among the prominent trap shots from a distance present, the

Mo., president of the Missouri State Sportsmen's Association; <\ 

 W. Schnieder, Cameron; Ed. Spencer and Chas. McAninch, Car- 

 rolton, 111.; D. A. Swiggett, Towanda, Kan.; Frank Parmelee, 

 Omaha: C. E. Strawn, Jacksonville, 111., and many others. 



Crabiil certainly had on his shooting clothes, for he managed 

 to take a slice of first money in every shoot he took part in. Budd 

 shut very well, but could not forge to the front often. The live 

 birds used were with few exceptions a splendid lot. For the single 

 live bird events ground traps were used exclusively, but for the 

 double events plunge traps were substituted. The rules of the 

 American Shooting Association with a few minor changes applied . 

 Instead of measuring 80yds. from where the shooter is accus- 

 tomed to stand, the boundary was laid off 60yds. from the center 

 trap. 



On the opening day there was no classification of the shooters 

 in the target events. Major J. M. Taylor.manager of the A S. A., 

 had promised to be present to attend to the matter, but for some 

 unknown reason he failed to come. There was some little kick- 

 ing because the announcement had been made in the programme 

 that all target shoots would be held under the classification of the 

 A. S. A. Toward the latter part of the day the 6cheme w as agi- 

 tated to appoint a committee to classify the shooters, which wai-s 

 acted upon immediately, and C. W. Budd, Dr. Underwood and 

 Jim Elliott were unanimously chosen to perform the thankless 

 undertaking. " : 



As a whofe the shooting on the opening day was of a very high 

 class, enough to sustain the reputation of this city as the greatest 

 trap-shoot ing place in all this land.
