MEET OF THE BRUNSWICK FUR CLVB.-Editor 

 Forest and Stream; The second annual meeting of the 

 Brunswick Fur Club takes place Monday, Feb!" 3, at the 

 Gurnet House. Great Island, Me., and will continue during 

 the month, members coming and going as their avocations 

 may permit. The meet is expected to be a large one, and 

 all members are earnestly requested to be present. All 

 lovers of foxhunting are cordially invited to attend and will 

 be warmly welcomed, well housed and given a royal good 

 time in the chase. We know there are some keen sportsmen 

 on the staff of the Forest and Stream and trust at least 

 one of them will find it possible, to throw pen and ink bottle 

 under the table and take a few daAs in the woods with us. 

 Tickets are bought to Brunswick, Me., and a drive of about 

 a half dozen miles puts one at the Gurnet House, where 

 every comfort will be insured to the hunters at most reason- 

 able, rates. Some purse races between hounds are looked 

 for, and prizes are offered for the man killing the first fox, 

 the man killing the largest fox and the man killiug the 

 greatest number of foxes. If any fox hunter thinks he has 

 hounds that can catch foxes let him come, and we will take 

 good care of both him and his hounds, and give him a prize 

 for every fox his dogs kill fairly and squarely without out- 

 side aid.— A. C. Heefexgee, Director of the Hunt (Ports- 

 mouth, N. H). ' 



BLACK AND TAN TERRIERS. — New York, Jan. 18.— 

 Editor ForeM and Stream: There has been much activity 

 during 1889 in tbe ranks of the few breeders of black and 

 tan terriers in this country, and now that we are starting 

 upon a season of bench shows, I want to arouse all such 

 breeders to the importance of exhibiting their stock on all 

 possible occasions. The true black and tan terrier is little 

 understood or appreciated in this country, and he never will 

 be if the few good specimens we have are kept in their ken- 

 nels. The kennel clubs are inclined to help us, and if we 

 are to raise this superb breed to its proper standing amid 

 the stars of dogdnm, we must help ourselves. The West- 

 minster Kennel Club has set the ball rolling by making for 

 the first time a challenge class and two open classes, one for 

 each sex, besides offering a special for the best of the breed. 

 Other clubs are waiting to note the results, and if we make 

 a good and satisfactory display at the New York show, no 

 less classes will be made for other leading shows. Do not 

 consider the few dollars' cost, the chances of winning a 

 prize or the individuality of the judge; but, if you love, your 

 dog and love his breed, rally to the success of the exhibit at 

 the New York show. Entries close Jan. 27.— Breeder.

 that, when I got him at Christmas, was covered with fleas. We 

 have nearly disposed of the fleas, but the pup continues to scratch 

 and crawls on his stomach, meanwhile yelping and making such 

 a racket that we think he suff ers terribly. He is olayf ul and eats 

 well. Think I will wash (rim to-day with carbolic soap. Please 

 advise me what to do. The pup is a fine one; recently bought 

 him in New York, We disposed of most of the fleas by combing.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



RIFLEMEN AT DINNER. 



BOSTON. Jan. 14.— The annual meeting ot the Massachusetts 

 Rifle Association was held last evening at the Thorndike, on 

 Boylston street, President L. L. Hubbard in the chair. The various 

 reports showed the association to be in a most prosperous condi- 

 tion, with a membership of nearly 200, having added 25 members 

 during the vear. Treasurer Russell's figures in brief were: 

 Balance from old account $3,362.95. receipt-- $5,217.29. total SS7.580.- 

 24, expenditures. $4,"60.62, balance to new account §2,819.62. Sta- 

 tistical Officer H. S. Harris reported 87 shooting days, 16 matches 

 and $2,122,10 receipts from matches, against 88, 12 and $1,340.03. in 

 1888. Frank Cowee, Wm. W. Foster and C. B. Sanborn were 

 elected memoers. These officers were chosen: Vice-Presidents, 

 J. B. Fellows, N. C. Nash; Secietary, H. S. Harris; Treasurer, W. 

 C. Prescott. Di 

 J. 



L. „. 



cbtt, J. F. Rabbeth, H. T. Rockwell. 



After the business meeting was ended the association adjourned 

 to the dining hall, when President Hubbard took the head of the 

 table, while elsewhere about the room were ex-Presidents J. N. 

 Frye and H. T. Rockwell. President J. D» Whitcomb, of the Bos- 

 tou Press Rifle Association; Surgeon Foster, of the Fifth Infantry; 

 Col. Cram, of the staff of tbe Governor of Maine; William Park- 

 man, William Hayes of Newark, N. J., and these members of the 

 victorious rifle team which visited England last summer, of 

 whom several are members of the association: Maj. J. P. Frost, 

 Mai. C W. Hinman, Surgeon Marvin, Maj. S. H. Benyon. Lieut. 

 R, B. Edes, Quartermasters. B. Newton. Lieut. Hussey, Sergeants 

 Merrill, Johnson and Doyle and Corp. Huddleston. 



After the dinner was over President Hubbard opened the exer- 

 cises by reading letters of regret at absence from Governor 

 Bracket!, Mayor Hart. President Eliot, of Harvard College, Col. 

 S. E. Blount, Gen. S. Dalton. Gen. F. A. Walker, and Hon. W. E. 

 Russell, ex-Governor Connor of Maine, and Gen. Wingafe of New 

 York. After reading these letters, President Hubbard spoke of 

 the aims of the association as being the study of problems con- 

 nected with shooting, familiarity on the part of citizens with the 

 rifle for use in sudden emergency, and to encourage in young men 

 those habits which are necessary to success in rifle practice. The 

 president alluded to the prosperity of the association, and added 

 that it marked a point when it, as an organization, should pro- 

 mote scientific investigation rather than leave it to individual 

 members, and should offer facilities to citizens for self-education 

 in the use of firearms. In speaking of the progress of the Massa- 

 chusetts militia in rifle shooting the president gave full credit to 

 the little circle of men who, as members of the Roxbury City 

 Guard, gave the impulse to the movement, and eulogized the 

 work in this direction of Col. H. T. Rockwell, a director of the as- 

 sociation since its formation and for many years its president, 



Col, H. T. Rockwell, who was introduced in this way, said that 

 Massachusetts had made more progress in the militia rifle shoot- , 

 ing than any other State, although it was a work of slow growth 

 at the outset. Col. Rockwell spoke of his pleasure at meeting so 

 many of the old-timers, who, however, could not make tbe boast 

 which is made by many in other branches of sport or amusement 

 that the times have degenerated: paid his tribute to those who 

 had served so many years with him in the direction of the Associ- 

 ation for their efforts at its advancement, and congratulated the 

 Association upon its remarkable prosperity. 



Major Frost was called upon to speak for the militia rifle team 

 after' an introduction which detailed in high terms the reputation 

 which had been given abroad to Massachusetts riflemen by this 

 team. Major Frost told at length the story of the trip of the 

 team, and the causes which aided in the victories, these details 

 having already been published. 



Other speakers were Col. Cram, Wm. Hayes, ot Newark, N. J.; 

 Capt. W. H. Jackson, J. A. Frye and President Whitcomb, of the 

 Press Rifle Association. The dining-room was )adorned with the 

 national flag and the ensigns which were carried to England by 

 the rifle team. The dinner was also enlivened with music by 

 Baldwin's Cadet Orchestra. 



THE TOBIN TROPHY. 



SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 12.— The boys of Company B, Third 

 Regiment, N. G. C M covered themselves with glory and burnt 

 powder yesterday in winning the beautiful Tobin Memorial' 

 Tropbv of the Third Regiment, in almost a walk over, and for a 

 year B's handsome quarters in the armory will be graced with' 

 the prize. Ever since the trophy was presen ted to 3He regiment, 

 several months ago, companies B, C and F have been practicing 

 assiduously, with the determination of winning, and although the 

 winning company was the favorite, it was expected that the con- 

 test would be close. Unfortunately the rain prevented many of 

 the best shots from attending and precluded those who were onv 

 hand from doing their best, still on the whole the shooting was 

 creditable. Tbe shooting began in the morning, and at that time 

 the atmosphere was comparatively clear, but as the day advanced 

 the rain came down harder and the smoke accumulated on the 

 range until the targets were barely visible, and the marksmen 

 were heavily handicapped. 



It was known early in the day that only three companies would 

 compete, and, as soon as tbe targets were assigned, the fusilade 

 began. After a short time Captain Smith of Company F an- 

 nounced that he could only collect 19 men, and that his company 

 would, therefore, be out of the race, as each company was re- 

 quired to shoot 25 men. This left only Company B. Captain Ken- 

 nedy, of this city, and Company C, Captain Levy, of Oakland. 

 After 10 men bad shot on each side it was seen that B was a few 

 points in tbe lead, and from that time to the finish it increased 

 its advantage, winning by 84 points. The excitement at the close 

 was great, and Captain Levy immediately congratulated Captain 

 Kennedy on the victory of his company. The scores were as fol- 

 lows:

BOSTON, Jan. 18.— In two weeks more the shooting tournament 

 for tbe championship of the Boston Athletic Club will come to a 

 close. During the past week the competitions have been spirited 

 and the scores made have been very good. Up to last night the 

 best scores in the tournament were as follows: 

 Rest match, with rifle: 



Appleton 1000 Kingsley 896 Parker. ; » 991 



King 1000 Hubbard 995 



Off-hand match, with rifle: 

 Kingsley 940 Hubbard 93'

Brown 877 



Revolver match: 

 Kingsley 883 Fellows 854 Hubbard 78S 



Championship match: 

 Kingsley 3733 Hubbard .3504 



In the above scores both Messrs. Appleton and King have 

 reached the highest possible mark at rest shooting with a rifle, 

 and considering the fact that they shot at a diminutive target, 

 the shooting is thought by Manager Russell, of the shooting gal- 

 lery to be the best on record.

Captain Smith, who has tried very hard to get his men in trim 

 for this contest, was greatly disappointed at the non-attendance 

 of his men. 



Connlel Richard Tobin, whose memory the trophy is intended to 

 perpetuate, was one of the best known and most popular officers 

 m the National Guard of California. He reorganized tbe Third 

 on June 21, 1883, and in consideration of tbe great interest he took 

 in the matter and his exertions in behalf of the regiment, he was 

 elected Colonel. Upon his death the family sent §100 to tbe Ksgfe 

 and Third regiments. 



The beautiful cup is of oxidized silver and the workmanhhip 

 the finest. It stands about 12in.bigb and is quite heavy. The 

 pedestal, which is 4in. square and about five-twelfths of an inch 

 thick, rests on four cartridges placed at the corners. Upon this 

 rests a stack of arms, which in turn support tbe vase at the point, 

 where the barrels of the rifles cross. In front of the. arms and 

 resting against them is a graceful scroll, on winch will be in- 

 scribed the name of the company winning tbe trophy. Between 

 the butts of the guns are a branch of laurel and a marker's disc, 

 The. cup itself, which is 6in. high, isjin the form of an Etruscan 

 vase, with a slender neck, and long curved handles on each side. 

 At the base of the neck on the front of the vase is the name 

 "Tobin," with a figure "3" below it, and on the back the word 

 "trophy." About the middle of the vase is a band running all 

 round, supporting four raised bears' heads, the principal one sur- 

 rounded with laurel branches. From the mouths of the lv. • 

 are suspended medallions inscribed with the letters "N. G. C." 

 and the figures ' 89." 



The First Regiment trophy, which will be of a different design,, 

 is now in the hands of the silversmith and will be shot for later 

 on during the present month. The Third's trophy can never be- 

 come the absolute property of any one company in tbe regiment 

 and must be shot for annually. The companies are required to 

 shoot teams of twenty men each, and tbe aggregate of points 

 made by each compauy will determine the possession of the prize 

 for one year. 



HIGH-GRADE REVOLVER SCORES. 



AMONG the many features of the World's Fair held in Paris, 

 France, was a grand national shooting festival, at which 

 1,500 Swiss marksmen participated. Among the matches was a 

 gra-id revolver shooting tournament, in which there was a great 

 number of verv fine shots contesting for a large number of very 

 valuable prizes. The distance for revolver shooting was 30 

 metres or 33yds. The diameter of the target was H-Sifin., which 

 after a large number of designs had been submitted to the com- 

 mittee, this one was adopted as likely to bring out the best marks- 



men. The shooting was made with the .45cal. revolver. The 

 winner of the first grand prize whs George Naude, of Paris, with 

 the very good score of 58 out of a possible 60, for which he was 

 awarded the first prize of 200 francs. 



Mr. Jas. S. Conlin, with his usual enterprise, is always on the 

 lookout for something new to give the many patrons of his world- 

 famous gallerv, corner of Broadway and Thirty-first street, 

 secured one of these targets and reduced it to his 12-yard range, 

 to enable the marksmen of America to compare scores with the 

 French shooters. Thus far Mr. George Bird, the expert of experts, 

 has succeeded in makiug the best score ever made on this target. 

 The revolver used by Mr. Bird is the Smith & Wesson .ileal., 

 Frontier model, usiug tbe Russian model shell, loaded with 6grs. 

 of powder and a round ball. The inclosed is a fan simile of his 

 wonderful good shooting on this target at 12yds.
