THE PUG SPECIAL AT CINCINNATI. — Cincinnati, 

 O., June 29.— Editor Forest and, Stream: Considerable 

 comment has been made lately in the sporting papers by the 

 award of the kennel prize at Cincinnati show for best four 

 pugs to the Eberh art Pug Kennels. An item in FffllCiers' 

 Journal of June 21 is misleading, and if unexplained would 

 do an injustice to the Cincinnati Kennel Club. It states 

 that "the prize not being in the judge's book was not 

 awarded by Mr. Mortimer," and "that Dr. Cryer will pro- 

 test the award, as after Mr. Mortimer left the management 

 gave it to the Eberhart Pug Kennels." This 1 is all wrong. 

 The prize was in tbe judge's book, being on the first page, 

 and was awarded by Mr. Mortimer himself to the Eberhart 

 Kennels. These are the plain facts as the book will show. 

 I was ring steward for Mr. Mortimer, and while assisting 

 him (in that capacity) in awardiug the specials on the mora- 

 ine of the, second day of our show, I saw him write it down 

 in the book to the Eberhart Kennels. I said to him then, 

 "Much obliged, Mr. Mortimer." He replied, "Don't, men- 

 tion it, my boy." Mr. Mortimer's reputation as a judge and 

 of knowing just what he is doing is too well known to us 

 all to need further comment. Dr. Cryer has protested the 

 award, and the Cincinnati Kennel Club at a special meeting 

 June 21 , decided that the award must stand as made.— AL. 

 G-. Eberhart, Manager Eberhart Pug Kennels. 



A FOX-TERRIER COURSING CLUB.— Omaha, June 

 25.— -Editor Forest and Stream: A fox-terrier coursing club 

 is being organized in this city, under the auspices of the 

 old coursing club. There are fine facilities here for such a 

 club— cotton-tails and jacks in abundance and the finest 

 coursing stretch in the world. Nor do we lack gentlemen 

 who thoroughly understand the. sport. Mr. John Short, 

 proprietor of the grand bakery, has had thirty years' expe- 

 rience, and was the first to introduce the grand sport of 

 coursing in Chicago years ago, having been a slipper of 



freyhoundsin England when a lad. Mr, Evans, the County 

 .uditor, is another rare specimen from the old school, and 

 T. H," Lamb, superintendent of Fairmount Park at the 

 Bluffs, is another slipper, having indulged iu coursing ex- 

 tensively years ago in tbe mother country. It is the pur- 

 pose to have a course at an early day, when liberal cash 

 prizes will be offered. There are probably seventy-five fox- 

 terriers owned by gentlemen in this city, and the club will 

 undoubtedly flourish like a green bay tree.— Sandy. 



CORA OF WETHERAL.— This well-known champion 

 English setter bitch died on Monday, June 30, from heart 

 disease. Mr. Wiudholz will have a hard task to find an 

 animal to replace her, as she was undoubtedly very nearly 

 the best of her breed in this country.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE BERLIN SHOOT. 



HAMBURG, June 24.— The American riflemen to-day went to 

 the Schuotzenhof at Baxbeck In the point shooting competi- 

 tion two Americans won prizes, but in the competition for the sil- 

 ver cup they were easilv beaten by the Hamburgers. Fred P. 

 Laute, of the Howard Rifle Club of Newark arrived yesterday, and 

 to-day he took part in a shoot of the Hamburg Rifle Club, winning 

 eighth prize on the honor medal target. Fred W. Hofele was first 

 and Geb Kranss second. E. Fisher, W. Weber, E. Schroeder and 

 Barney Walther, all Americans, were among the leading prize 

 winners. The Americans are giving accounts of themselves in all 

 the contests in the. different, cities. Some heavy bets have been 

 made in New York that Gus Zimmerman will win the first goblet 

 in the rapid-fire contest on July 8. President Weber said that the 

 Independents, although defeated, were not downcast. Jubilee 

 medals of the Hamburg Rifle Association were presented to Presi- 

 dent Weber, Captain Diehl, and the five Americans who competed 

 for the cup. Illuminations and fireworks followed and then there 

 was a grand ball. Most of the marksmen will start for Berlin to- 

 morrow 



Hanover, June 29. — In the shooting in honor of the American 

 riflemen the following New Yorkers were successful: At the field 

 target "Germany," Zimmerman won second prize; at the rifle 

 target "Hanover," Walther took first prize and Zimmerman 

 second; at the hunting target Stein took first prize. Zimmerman 

 and Stein won stars, and Kraus, Busse, Walther. Zimmerman, 

 Simon, Sieburg, Stein and Schroeder won cups. 



The Berlin correspondent of the London Times contributes the 

 following preliminary notice of the big Berlin shoot: 



In the second week of July (6th to 13th), Pankow, a suburb of 

 Berlin, i s to be the scene of a sort of International Wimbledon, 

 for which great preparations are being made. "International" by 

 courtesy, so to speak, for the gathering itself is but the tenth tri- 

 ennial shooting match (Bundesschiessen) of the German Schuet- 

 zenbund, or Federation of Riflemen, which was founded in 1801 

 by the present Duke of Saxe-Coburg with a view to footer the Na- 

 tional idea aud thus hasten the attainment of political unity. 

 Like the British Association, the Schuetzenbund was appointed 

 to be peripatetic, so to speak, in its character, and at intervals of 

 three years since its creation it has held its meetings iu the chief 

 cities and centers of the nation. Last year the place selected was 

 Frankfort-on-the-Main, and this summer Berlin, for the first 

 time, is to be the try sting-place, on which account it was resolved 

 to invest tbe meeting with more of an international character 

 than it has hitherto possessed. Consequently invitations were 

 issued by the committee of the meeting to the riflemen of those 

 of Germany's neighbors with whom she is on a friendly and fa- 

 miliar footing; and to the crack shots of England, too, the cen- 

 tral committee, of which the honorable chairman is Herr Von 

 Forckenbeck, Chief Burgomaster of Berlin, made the following 

 warm, if quaintly worded appeal in the columns of the Times: 



"To the Rifle Shooters of England.— Berlin, the capital of the 

 German Empire, is preparing to celebrate, during the days from 

 the 5th to the 13th of July, a. c„ the X Shooting Match of the Ger- 

 man Rifle Shooters' Union (X Deutsche Bundesschiessen). Our 

 brave fellow-shoolers in England are hereby urgently invited to 

 participate in this national festival, which is intended to revive 

 and to strengthen the bonds of faithful alliance existing between 

 the kindred people of England and Germany. 



"Competing peacefully and without envy for the honorary 

 prizes, valiant, men shall meet filled with the pride and the joyous 

 knowledge of being the sons of the great and powerful Teutonic 

 family, whose members, clear in their aims and well versed in 

 their arms, are using their strength for securing the blessings of 

 peace to themselves and to the world, 



"The capital of the Empire will receive the guests with pleas- 

 ure; a hearty welcome, is waiting them, aud everything that Ber- 

 lin, with its highly-developed life, is able to offer shall be kept at 

 the disposal of our brave English fellow-shots. 



"Once more we invito tho English rifle shooters to prepare for 

 the joyous excursion to the capital of the German Empire, which 

 calls out to them— Welcome, brave English rifle-shooters, in 

 Berlin." 



America has already responded heartily to a similar appeal, and 

 New York alone is to send over 500 of its best shots, selected from 

 the numerous rifle clubs of that city, to compete In Pankow with 

 the champions of Germany. True, it. would seem that tbe major- 

 ity of these, half-thousand Americans are of German origin, who 

 thus seize upon the forthcoming Bundesschiessen as a welcome 

 pretext for visiting, or revisiting, as the case may be, the laud of 

 their origin; and yet the circumstances of their presence here will 

 give the rifle meeting its distinctive stamp and make it a memor- 

 able one. Crossing the Atlantic— 315 of them by the Fulda and 

 210 by the Wieland— these American riflemen, wearing their New 

 York uniforms, are. with all the pomp of music and of bauners, 

 to make their entry into Berlin on the 3d of July, marching 

 through the chief streets past the Schloss, where they will salute 

 the Emperor, and thence to the Rathhaus, there to be welcomed 

 by the Burgomaster, and deposit their colors till they depart 

 again. Next day these American riflemen, with many others of 

 their countrymen, are to celebrate Independence Day (Fourth of 

 July) by a grand banquet in the Kaiserhof, at which the United 

 States Minister will preside. 



The match itself is to be inaugurated (on Sunda5 r , the 0th of 

 July) by a grand procession, to be devised and arranged by the 

 Berlin Society of Artists (headed by the historical painter, Anton 

 von Werner) at a cost of 50.000 marks. This costumed procession, 

 in which all tho competitive riflemen are to take part, will illus- 

 trate the gradual development of the art of shooting from the 

 period of slings to the present time of repeating rifles, and will 

 also contain allegorical presentments of the various cities where 

 the Schtltzenbund has hitherto held its triennial meetings. 

 Forming up on the KOnigsplatz, this historical and symbolical 

 procession will march down the Linden, past the Schloss and so 

 on to the suburban Pankow, where several hundred acres of ara- 

 ble and pasture ground have been rented for the meeting and fur- 

 nished with all the structures essential to its success. These in- 

 clude a Fest Halle, or banqueting hall, capable of seating 5.000 

 persons; a Schiess Halle, or shooting pavilion, 220 metres long by 

 16 deep; several band stands, a gaudy Gabeu Tempel, or pavilion, 

 for the exhibition of prizes, for which the city of Berlin lias con- 

 tributed 40,000 marks, and which comprises 5,200 medals and a 

 large number of very handsome presentation cups (one being 

 offered by the Emperor) and other silver-wrought articles of great 

 beauty and value, which I have had an opportunity of examining 

 and admiring. 



What strikes an English mind as a peculiarity of the forth- 

 coming shootinc match is the shortness of its ranges, of which the 

 longest is only 300 metres. At this distance there are to be 50 tar- 

 gets (in shooting at which the marksmen can have a rigid sup- 

 port for his gun), and the same number at 175 metres range, which 

 the shooter must aim at standing upright and free. In addition, 

 there will be three "running boars" and as niauy "running hares" 

 at 60 and 35 metres respectively, while pistol practice is to be 

 available at Ave targets with a 35-metres range. It ought to be 

 mentioned that the targets are more elaborately constructed than 

 English ones, there being a black bullseye over a foot in diame- 

 ter, graduated off into ten concentric rings, with a corresponding 

 score of points, lessening from the center outward, I believe that 

 any rifle may be used (the Martini-Henry has hitherto been the 

 favorito weapon of the Schlltzenbund), but bullets with a mantle 

 of steel, nickle or copper are forbidden, nor may " professional " 

 shots compete. Unfortunately, this Berlin meeting, in poiut of 

 time, will very closely precede the Bisley one, but it is hoped 

 all the same that soire English volunteers and non-military 

 marksmen may see their way to coming over here, and certainly, 

 whatever their success in prize-taking under conditions new to 

 them, they could scarcely, at least, fail to carry home with them 

 some ideas and methods which might with profit be appreciated 

 in England. If such be the quest of any zealous rifle shots, they 

 certainly could not enter upon it at a time more favorable to 

 their purpose than the present, when the relations between the 

 courts and governments of Great Britain and Germany are so 



friendly, and when they would be sure to receive as cordial a wel- 

 come in Berlin as the Burgomaster promises. I may add that all 

 inquiries on the subject of the forthcoming shooting match may 

 be addressed to the " Central- Ausschuss fttr das X Deutsche 

 Bundesschiessen, 32, Burgstrasse, Berlin." 



BOSTON, June 28.— The regular weekly shoot of the Massachu- 

 setts Rifle Association was held at its range to-day with a good 

 attendance of riflemen. The shooting conditions were good, with 

 a light 6 to 3 o'clock wind. Mr. Kelley won the elegant victory 

 medal- On July 4 there will be no shoot at this range on account 

 of the celebration at Winchester. Following are the best scores

THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN MEET. 



CHEYENE, Wyo., Juno 20.—Editto- Forest and Stream: The sec- 

 ond annual tournament of the Rocky Mountain Sportsmen's 

 Association closed to-day after a four days' meet, which was not 

 only one of tho largest, but also one of the most successful tour- 

 naments ever held in th United States. The opening day of the 

 tournament was one of the fairest in point of weather so far this 

 year. There were about 200 members in attendance aud also a 

 good audience, among whom were many ladies. The arrange- 

 ments by the local committee were most complete, as was attested 

 by the smooth manner in which the shoot progressed, not the 

 slightest hitch occurring. Considering that the first day is 

 usually spent in arranging things, this spjaks well for their 

 efforts in that, direction. 



The big event of the day was at 10 live birds, with an entrance 

 of $10 and $100 cash added. All the best shots were entered and 

 made an e Sort, to capture a portion of the £470 which comprised 

 the pot. Frank Parmalee, of Omaha, killed 10 straight and was 

 disqualified for not being a member of the association, but those 

 in the tie with him very arenerously donated him his share of the 

 winnings in this shoot. Following is the summary of this event 

 and the scores of the other shoots: 



Seventh event, 10 live birds, entrance $10, divided 40, 30. 20 and 

 10 per ceut, $100 cash added, open to members of the R. M. S. A.
