DOG TALK. 



rpHE news from thia section this week Is mostly bad. Mr. 

 X Johu Williams, of Somerville, while taking a walk 

 Sunday, had the misfortune to lose his promising black 

 cocker spaniel puppy Ardell, by Wilkes Obo out of Gypsey 

 Obo. A horsecar ran over her killing her instantly. He 

 has since purchased Mr. E L. Crowell's Alda, a bitch of 

 the same breedingof a former litter, in whelp to Prince Obo. 

 He has sent his English setter bitch puppy Princess Royal 

 (Royal Prince II.— Pansy) to his trainer, Mr. Taylor in Vir- 

 ginia. 



The Fleet View and Reading Pointer Kennels have had 

 the misfortune to lose five of their pointer puppies the past 

 week, three of them being by Nick of Naso out of Belle Ran- 

 dolph. 



The secretary of the English Setter Club reports several 

 more applicants for membership. 



Messrs John and D. A. Williams had the misfortune to 

 lose their beagle bitch Trixie last week. She whs by Kisco 

 out of Lady, and was in whelp to Frank Forrest. She died 

 in parturition. 



Mr. Fred Frazier, vice-president of the Setter Club, and 

 an all-around dog lover, is building and furnishing a room 

 in the rear of his cigar store'under Proctor's Opera House, 

 Lynn, Mass., for the benefit of the Lynn dog men. All the 

 leading papers will be on file there, and dog men who visit 

 Lynn are cordially invited to drop in and make, themselves 

 at home. I made a short call there the other night, and the 

 air was fairly blue with gunpowder smoke, feathers, No. 8 

 shot, etc. As I strolled down the street I could still hear the 

 music of C. K.'s yellowleg call. 



Another bud of promise in the canine world is young Mr. 

 Kent. He has recently started the Merry Mount Kennels at 

 Wollaston Heights, Mass. , and has some excellent rough- 

 coated St. Bernards. Among them Berlin (Hector — Bernie), 

 winner of fourth at Boston; Riola, an orange bitch, and 

 Chequassett Marigold, in whelp to Beauchamp. 



The Woburn Fanciers' Club are talking of holding a 

 bench show in connection with their poultry show at Wo- 

 burn, Jan. 21 to 23, 1891. 



In my note re Divas's puppy last week the printer trans- 

 lated my "best Sir Bedivere puppy" into "best St. Bernard 

 puppy." 



We think the English Setter Club of America made a 

 judicious selection in offering the presidential chair to Mr. 

 F. W. Whitlock, of Waterbury. He is well known as an 

 officer of the Waterbury Fish and Game Club, and of the 

 Connecticut Association of Farmers and Sportsmen for the 

 Protection of Game and Fish, a former member of the Hart- 

 ford Kennel Club, and city surveyor of the city of WatPr- 

 bury. He has been from his youth an admirer "and breeder 

 of the English setter, aud owns at present writing Berkshire 

 (Foremost— Norma). Beauty of Orleans, a fine liver and 

 white bitch in whelp to Paxtang, and a black and white 

 ticked grand daughter of Dashing Monarch, in whelp to 

 Berkshire. 



Lynn is fast filling up its ranks with good English setters. 

 Mr. Henry Wilson has purchased another of the Buckellew 

 —Vic Vic litter, a promising bitch puppy. Mr. Westbrook 

 has left an orange and white dog of the same litter with Mr. 

 Wilson to complete his education. 



When Mr. H. B. Tallman't buff cocker bitch Bessie was 



bred to Mr. C. G. Browning's red cocker Cherry Boy, I had 

 quite a curiosity to know what color the pups would be. 1 

 learn to-day that she whelped six dark red puppies; no blacks 

 or buffs. 



I see by the Hunde Sport of May 7 that the Berlin dog 

 show rivals that of the Westminster Kennel Club. 1 he en- 

 tries number 1,202, of which number the English setters 

 constitute 24, Gordons 26, Irish 12. pointers 58. griffons 20 

 dachshunde 126, fox-terriers 96, Newfoundlands 2o, rough 

 St. Bernards 48, smooth St. Bernards 30, mastiffs 10, bull- 

 dogs 21, Dalmatians 8, poodles 30, spitz 20, schipperkes 2, 

 bull-terriers 8, black and tan terriers 21, schweisshunde 14, 

 windhunde of the various varieties 254. Among the specials 

 I notice one of 200 marks (about $50) for the best hunting dog 

 in WiH-temberg, and others of 100 marks and less. The 

 Germans are not much behind the English in the number of 

 entries. 



« 



About everybody else has had a word to say about the 

 Stud Book, and now I think it is my turn. I like to see in- 

 dependence in all things. I would not like to see the 

 American Kennel Club Stud Book the exact copy of the 

 English Stud Book, but I would like to have my own 

 country come somewhere near the mother country in this 

 respect. Frankly, I think the Stud Book a disgrace to the 

 American kennel world. The English Stud Book not only 

 gives the winnings of the dogs entered, but also the win- 

 nings for the current year of all former entries, together 

 with a complete list of "all winnings at all shows held dur- 

 ing the year under K. C. rules, all winners at field trials, a 

 complete list of recognized shows, a list of regular and asso- 

 ciate members, and the rules governing bench shows and 

 field trials. And again, what winnings are published in 

 our Stud Book are not correct. I can name several that are 

 in this issue that were won at small "hen shows" not under 

 the rules of any kennel club. 



The English Setter Club of America will hold their first 

 annual meeting at the Quincy House, Boston, Mass., on the 

 evening of July 1. There is some very important business 

 to be brought up at this meeting, and every member should 

 be present. The adoption of a standard and amendments 

 to the constitution will be in order. 



When one compares Sir Tatton, Belthus, Bohemian Girl, 

 Roger and Roderigo, does it not look as though an English 

 setter club was sadly needed to at least try to secure a more 

 uniform appearance? A foreigner might well ask, which is 

 the setter? 



Why is it nobody has brought over any Landseer New- 

 foundlands? They are a noble breed, black and white in 

 color, nearly as large as the St. Bernard and full as intelli- 

 gent. 



We are sorry to hear of the illness of Mr. Chas. Ackerly, 

 of the Iroquois Kennels, Tonawanda, N. Y. That he may 

 soon be about again is the earnest wish of NAmquoit.

COLLIE IMPORTATION. — We received a call last week 

 from Gen. Henry Mac Iver, of England, who brought over 

 the collie dog Braukie, a very nice sable and white of ex- 

 cellent breeding, his sire being the well-known Metchley 

 Wonder and his dam Miss Charlemagne. He was not in 

 first-class condition owing to his recent voyage, but still he 

 looked well enough to give some of the cracks a good fight 

 for a place. He should do good service in the stud as he is 

 closely related to a large number of English winners.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE. 



SAN FRANCISCO. May 24.-Philo Jacoby, the well-known 

 sportsman and rifle shot, left this city this evening in com- 

 pany with Mr. John Utschig, both representatives of the Cali- 

 fornia Schuetzen Club. The gentlemen are on their way to the 

 great European shooting festivals which take place in Berlin, 

 Fraunfeld, Hanover and Bremen. They will shoot as the repre- 

 sentatives of the Schuetzen Club of this city, and tboir many 

 friends expect that they will return home crowned with laurels of 

 victory. Jacoby has competed with the crack European rifle 

 shots of Germany before, and distinguished himself on more than 

 one occasion by carrying off first honors. A short sketch of the 

 life, of the man, who is known by every sportsman in this city, 

 will interest the lovers of rifle-shooting. 



Philo Jacoby was born in Pomeraniu, Prussia, and arrived here 

 June 18, 1859, as a sailor on the clipper-ship Whirlwind. He first 

 learned to handle the rifle as a member of the San Francisco 

 Schuetzen Club in 1804, Joseph Hug and John Baoh being his 

 teachers. In nine months after joining the club he took second 

 prize, making most bullseyes in the yearly festivals, Joseph Hook 

 being first. Sever in, Moir*. Schneider, George Schmitt, and other 

 good shots, gave him odds, and were beaten even. 



In 1865 he shot a 600-yard match (the first long-range match in 

 California) with Moirs and Schneider, and won. He also won the 

 return match, the same distance, in 1866. In 1868 he went to the 

 East and Germany. He took third place at the great shooting 

 festival, and won many of the principal prizes. While in Berlin 

 he competed with the needle gun against military marksmen, and 

 won. He received from the Prussian Government a needle gun, 

 the first ever brought to America — which he owns yet— and 200 

 cartridges. In 1870 he went East and became shouting king of the 

 great festival in Washington, D. C; won first prize in the New 

 York prize-shooting festival, making three successive 4-inch bulls- 

 eyes, nnd in Cincinnati. 



In 1873 he went to Europe and won nearly all the first prizes at 

 the Silesian Shooting Festival in Breslau; won third goblet in 

 Solothurn, second grand prize in the honorary target, besides 

 many goblets and money prizes. At the Vienna World's Exposi- 

 tion shooting he won one gold and two silver medals, besides 

 other fine prizes at all distances. In the great German Shooting 

 Festival at Dusseldorf he won the first goblet (the only Ameri- 

 can rifleman who ever got that honor), also became shooting king 

 by making 304 bullseyes in one day against 172, which was the next 

 highest score. He also won many honorary prizes. In 1876 he 

 took a rifle team to the Philadelphia Centennial shooting. His 

 team was composed of Messrs. P. Jacoby, A. Shrecker, A. Hah- 

 wyler, Wm. Konig, Wm. Struell, Wm. Ehrenpt'ort, J. A. Bauer 

 and F. Greiner. The California team won the Champion Centen- 

 nial Cup, beating the next team badly. Jacoby was champion of 

 the team, making 193 rings, or an average at our targets now in 

 use of about 22 rings. 



He commanded the California Schuetzen Club rifle team against 

 the police rifle team, commanded by Copt. Douglass. The Schuet- 

 zen Club team won on all ranges— 200, 300 and 600yds. The Ne- 

 vada National guard rifle team baring beaten the California mili- 

 tiamen three years in succession, P. Jacoby if.su.ed a challenge 

 to them to pit 20 men against 20 men of the California Schuetzen 

 Club, with military rifles. The match came off at Alameda and 

 the California Schuetzen Club team won by about 50 points. A 

 return match was arranged the next year and again Philo Jacoby's 

 team won, with an average of 87)4 points per man. 



P. Jacoby organized the California Schuetzen club for the pur- 

 pose of representing California at the Centennial Exhibition of 

 January 6, 1876. In the last shooting festival of the California 

 Schuetzen Verein, May 11 last, at Shell Mound Park, he took the 

 first prize with 95 rings out of a possible 100. 



New Jersey and New York will also be well represented at the 

 shooting festival of the North-German Schuetzenbund to he help 

 in Berlin on July 6 to 14. This is expected to be one of the biggest 

 affairs of the kind ever held, and shooters from every country in 

 the world will be represented by its most expert marksmen, and 

 the competitions will be very close. Newark will be represented 

 by August Begerow, first shoot ing master of the Newark Shooting 

 Society, Otto Krauss and Fred P. Laute, of the same society. 

 Gottfried Kruegcr will also go, although not as an active shooter. 

 Mr. Krauss sailed on May 23. Mr. Laute sails with the Independ- 

 ents to-day, as will Mr. Krueger, while Mr. Begerow will start on 

 June 19. the first regular excursiou party to start for the. Father- 

 land was 'he New York Central Schuetzen Corps, which left New 

 York on May 27, in charge of Captain George. Litmrg. The New 

 York Independents will start to-day, and the New York Schuet- 

 zens on the 19th. 



With the Independents will go the experts who will be expected 

 to sustain the honor of the American eagle. These will comprise 

 among others, the following shooters who are well known to 

 Newark riflemen: Bernard Waither, president of the Zettler 

 Rifle Club, who now holds th« American record for 100 shots on 

 the Standard American target with a rifle, under N. R. A. rules; 

 David Miller, president of the Miller Rifle Club, of Hoboken, a 

 very fine marksman; Gebhardt Krauss, Williamsburgh Schuetzen 

 Verein; Alex. Stein. Seventh Regiment (N. Y.) Rifle Club, an ex- 

 pert military, sporting and pistol shot; Gustave Homrighausen, 

 Baltimore Schuetzen Verein; Fred. P. Laute, Newark Shooting 

 Society. Messrs, Miller, Stein, Krauss. L i ute, Begerow and Hom- 

 rigbausen will devote themselves to the various targets whereon 

 they can do deliberate shooting, while Mr. Waither will go in the 

 competiuon for the houor goblets, to win one of which it is ne- 

 cessary to score 180 points at 175 meters distance inside of from 14 

 to 18 minutes. 



Gus Zimmerman, of the Bullshead Rifle Club, of New York, 

 sailed on Wednesday, May 28, for (iermany. For rapidity and 

 accuracy with a single-loader Mr. Zimmorman is undoubtedly 

 the champion of America, his record of 846 shots and 60112in. 

 bullseyes in three hours never having been approached. He is 

 booked as a sure winner of the premier honor goblet, this being 

 the prize of all others that is coveted. Recently at Cypress Hills 

 Mr. Zimmerman, while shooting uuder German rules, made three 

 trials on the point target; in his first he scored 180 point* in 13 

 minutes, in his second trial in 1244 minutes, and on his third trial 

 in 13)^ minutes. Mr. August Begerow will take his family with 

 him, and will remain abroad until Oct. 1. 



The Americans will be handsomely received on the other side, 

 and innumerable festivals and receptions have been arranged in 

 their honor. At Bremen they will be received by th<> Bremen 

 Rifle Association. Thence they will go to Hanover, where they 

 will attend a prize shoot on June 23 to 29. On July 2 the severa 

 corps will go to Berlin, where they will have a grand reception 

 The. shooting festival will last from July 6 to 13.
