A PROMISING PUPPY.— Beaver, Pa.— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: I have an English setter pappy Rob Roy, 

 that was less than six montbs old when the season opened 

 for ruffed grouse. On his first day out he struck a trail 

 and roaded up like an old dog, came to a dead point, with 

 left hindleg up. Gun stepped in, flushed the bird and 

 killed. The puppy like a graven image on point from which 

 the bird had flown, had to be pushed on, and when once 

 started found the bird and retrieved— I was going to say in 

 fine style, which would be about right when we consider 

 the age of puppy, the size of the bird (an old cock) and his 

 first introduction to Mr. Grouse—but truth compels me to 

 say that although be did retrieve to my feet, in a careful 

 examination of the bird the veriest tyro would know that 

 it had been pretty roughly handled, but what is a bird in 

 comparison to his achievement? He closed the season with 

 a record of seven grouse and two quail, all retrieved; flushed 

 one that was not secured and broke shot but once. Iam 

 very proud of my puppy Rob Roy,— G. A. Scroggs. 



SIMONIDES VS. ROWDY ROD. — We have received a com- 

 munication from Mr. D. E. Rose, of Lawrenceburg, Tenn., 

 in which he takes exception to the comments of our reporter 

 in the Simonides-Rowdy Rod heat in the Inter-State field 

 trials, and in order to show that the comments are incor- 

 rect, has mcde the following proposal to Mr. Avent: "My 

 proposition is for him to meet me at Florence, Ala., March 

 20, and I will run Simonides against Rowdy Rod for a five- 

 hour race under rules of the Southern Club, the race to be 

 run over the grounds where the American trials were run. 

 Handlers to go on horseback. As for judges, there are 

 twelve or fifteen gentlemen sportsmen iu and around Flor- 

 ence that we can each select one from and the two select the 

 third. Or if Mr. Avent will agree I am willing that Mr. P. 

 H. Bryson, of Memphis, judge the race, and the loser pay 

 the ju'dees' expenses. Mr. Avent to wire me his acceptance 

 of challenge by March 10.— D. E. Rose." 



LICE. — A ppleton , Wis., March 3,— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: You gave me a remedy for lice on dogs which may 

 be very effective, but after trying another remedy I believe 

 it to be superior. It is simply a strong infusion of tobacco 

 sereenings (to be had at anycigar factory); it seems to cause 

 no discomfort to the dog, and is apparently sure death to 

 lice. Followed with the carbolic soap wash as yon recom- 

 mend I have found it tip top. I have written this in hope 

 it may be useful to some lover of the dog — C. Y. Y. [We 

 discarded this remedy many years ago for the decoction of 

 quassia wood, as the latter is more cleanly and just as effec- 

 tive, and it does not nauseate and make the dog sick as is 

 often the case when tobacco is used.] 



BUFFALO DOG SHOW. — Boston, N. Y., March 8.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: We have received the following 

 special prizes for our first annual show next month in ad- 

 dition to those previously announced: Ten dollars for the 

 best greyhound and SSlO for the best collie in the show. 

 Other cash specials are promised, and will be announced 

 later. Local interest in the show is strong and entries are 

 coming in. Most of the large kennels have promised sup- 

 port. — A. W. Smith, Sec'y. 



MICHIGAN KENNEL CLUB. — The regular annual 

 meeting of the Michigan Kennel Club was held at Detroit, 

 Mich., March 4. Following is a list of officers elected for 

 the ensuing year: Pres., Dr. L. Younghusband; Vice-Pres., 

 Dr. E T. Tappey: Sec, Dr. M. V. B. Saunders; Treas., Mr. 

 J, C. Roycf ; Delegate, Mr. H. E. Cook. Executive commit- 

 tee, the above-named officers and Mr. F. H. Croul. 



WORCESTER, Mass. , March 10.— The Sportsmen's Club 

 has voted to appropriate $50 to be used toward stocking the 

 sti-eams about Worcester with trout, and O. A. Benoit, C. 

 Harry Morse, A. R. Jacobs, William Lawrence and Dr. 

 Charles E. Higgins were appointed a committee for that 

 purpose and given power to act in the matter. 



THE TAIL-HOLDING PROCESS. — We have it from a 

 trustworthy source that the original inventor of the "tail- 

 holding process" at dog shows is again in the ring, and that 

 as soon as he can get hold of a few English setters of the 

 right sort, he will show them for all they are worth. 



AMERICAN GORDON SETTER CLUB.— Baltimore, 

 Md., March 11.— A special meeting of the American Gordon 

 Setter Club of America will be held at the Maryland Kennel 

 Club bench show at Natatoriuni Hallat, March' 19, 8 o'clock 

 P. M. — Isaac T. Norris. Sec'y.

 rather hard. For some time he lias been troubled with, his hind- 

 quarters from weakness. Ann. Give tablespoon of syrup of buck- 

 thorn eas h morning; also a quiniDe pill daily for a week. Put 

 5 drops of Fowlers solution of arsenic in the faod. Rubbing the 

 hindquarters ^ ith chloroform linament or the application of 

 electricity will benefit the weakness behind.

 last four or five days; appetite is gone, don't seem to be costive; 

 no part of body sore to touch; nose cold and moist; weak in hinSJ- 

 auarters, though able to walk; drank a good deal up to yesterday: 

 coupfis a little once in awhile. About a week ago he broke through 

 ice, and might have caught cold; bladder is loose; breathes a little 

 hard, don't moan. The dog is qui"e far, but always eager to hunt, 

 and don't show his age muci : well able to stand an ordinary day's 

 tramp. Ans. Reduce his weight. Do not feed much meat. Give 

 5-grain p'll of quinine each day. Pur 5 drops of Fowler's solution 

 of arsenic in the food daily. The symptoms are those incident to 

 age and obesity. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



REVOLVER SCORES. 



THE shooting at the French target at Conlin's gallery, Broadway 

 and Thirty-first street, has brought out some remarkable 

 tine scores. Five of which are illustrated herewith. They were 

 made by: I.— W. E. Carlin, score 59; II.— Geo. Bird, score 59; III.— 

 E. Washerman, score 58; IV.— A. H. Cohen, score 47; V. — Major 

 W. R. Pryor. score 56. all in a possible 60. The conditions were 6 

 shots at 12yds., position off-hand; the revolver used was the 

 Smith & Wesson .44-cal. Russian model, using 6grs. of powder and 

 round ball, excepting Mr. Bird, he using a S. & W. Frontier 

 model and the plain half-shilling sight. The new target is giving 

 a great deal of satisfaction. 



N. Y. RIFLE CLUB.— The Executive Committee of the New 

 York Rifle Club has allotted the following handicaps for their 

 outdoor match this season: Dolan and Taintor scratch, Herring- 

 ton and Case receive 1, Duane 2. Isbell 3, Todd 4, Shorkley 5, Shep- 

 pard 6, Barker, King, Uhler and O'Donnell 7, Kline and Strong 8, 

 Mac-key and Daly 9, Oshone, Hamilton and Seabury 10, Robbins 11. 

 These allotments are subject to revision by the Executive Com- 

 mittee whenever, in the opinion of the committee, the shooting of 

 anv member has improved or deteriorated so as to demand a read- 

 justment of bis handicap. To-day's weather was well adapted to 

 good shooting, the wind being light and steady, interfering very 

 little, and the light being all that could he desired. The only 

 drawback to an otherwise very pleasant meeting at the 200yds. 

 range in Cypress Park, Newton, L. I., was the small attendance, 

 but five enthusiastic rifle shooters putting In an appearance. 

 There was a noted improvement m the scores, aud those, present 

 shot off a large number of strings at the American standard tar- 

 get, off-hand, 200yds. range. 10 shots to the string, the best score 

 to count in the prize competition. Mr. T. J. Dolan and A. Isbell 

 were tied on 87, Mr. Isbell's handicap giving him first place with 

 90 out of a possible 100. The scores: 



T J Dolan (hdep 0) 9 10 8 9 8 9 9 10 7 8-87 



A Isbell (hdep 3) 6 9 7 7 10 9 10 9 10 10-90

J Duane (hdep 2) 9 69987866 6-76 



V B Daly (hdcp9) , 8 7 6 5 9 9 4 9 10 5-81 



Referee, Mr. T. J. Dolan; scorer, Mr. J. Duane. The handicap- 

 ping in the New York Rifle Club's indoor competition makes the 

 contest not only very interesting, but gives the less experienced 

 shooters as good a chance as the crack shots of the club. Two of 

 the organization's best marksmen, T. J. Dolan and A. Isbell, have 

 at present a handicap of 20 and 1-5 points respectively, the former 

 have won the gold medal twice and the latter the gold and silver 

 medal once. The member who will receive the leather medal at 

 the end of the season will take home a very handsome souvenir. 

 The medals are on exhibition a t the meetings, which take place 

 at Zettler's gallery, 12 St. Mark's place. 



OROVILLE, Oal., Feb. 10.— Lillian F. Smith, the "California 

 Girl," Champion Rifle Shot of the World, is making a very suc- 

 cessful tour of California. At an exhibition given at this place 

 Feb. H, she succeeded in lowering all previous rifle records by 

 breaking 50 balls in 45 seconds,— Levi W. Smith, Manager for 

 Lillian F. Smith 



BOSTON, March 8 —The regular weekly shoot of the Massachu-

WILMINGTON, Del. March 3.— Owing to various delays the 

 shooting at Healdmoor Rifle Range was a little late beginning this 

 afternoon, but after fairly starting everything worked smoothly 

 and all the targets were kept busy until dark. There was a good 

 turnout of local riflemen to have a farewell shoot with -T. S. New- 

 man, who leaves this week for Piedmon', Ala. He was given a 

 good send off a"d goes with the best wishes of his fellow-sports- 

 men. The weather, with the exception of being very cold, was 

 favorable for target shooting, especially toward evening, when it 

 moderated cons'derablv and the wind had calmed down. The 

 scores in detail were as follows, Standard American targets, off-
