 son shall not invalidate the action of the quorum, and the action 

 of the quorum shall be deemed confirmed if the necessary major- 

 ity do not vote against such action within three weeks from date 

 of said meeting.

BLACK AND TAN TERRIER IMPORTATION. — Dr. 

 H. T. Foote, New Rochelle, N. Y., received last Thursday, 

 from the kennel of Mr. T. Ellis, Manchester, Eng., three 

 black and tan terriers, one dog and two bitches. The dog 

 BrooDifield Como was whelped in April, 1889, and is by 

 Jackson's Patrick and out of Cosgrove's Pink. He has 

 been shown but once, taking second in the novice class at 

 Leeds last June. Broomfleld Madge, whelped Feb. 24, 

 1888, is by Jackson's Patrick and out of his Queen. She 

 has been shown Four times, twice at Birmingham, once at 

 Manchester and once at Central Hall, London, winning 

 first each time. The other bitcb, Beauty, was whelped 

 May, 1889, by Jackson's Gordon and out of McMee's Bess. 

 She was bred to Broomfleld Sultan June 9. The first two 

 named will make their first appearance in public in this 

 country at the Detroit show next month. 



„ THE MEDFORD FANCY GOODS COMPANY have 

 issued a very handsome catalogue of the thousand and one 

 articles m the dog furnishing line manufactured by them. 

 Ihe catalogue is profusely illustrated, many of the cuts 

 being printed in colors, which adds not a, little to the beauty 

 of the work. The business was established in 1878, and from 

 a comparatively small beginning it has grown to its present 

 vast proportions, with customers in every city of prominence 

 in this country, as well as a large foreign trade. Th e con- 

 cern re the only one in this country that makes the manu- 

 facture of dog furnishings its exclusive business; and a look 

 through their show-room on Duane street will well repay 

 the visitor for his time, whether he is a fancier or not. 



WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 4.— The Wilmington Fair 

 bench show, should the entries so warrant, will divide all 

 classes made for "dogs or bitches" into dog classes and bitch 

 classes. The Baltimore and Ohio and the Wilmington and 

 Northern R. R. Co. will carry three dogs free upon one 

 ticket, to and from the Wilmington Fair bench show when 

 accompanied by owner or caretaker, in baggage car. Simi- 

 lar arrangements are being perfected with the 'Pennsylvania 

 R. R. Co., and will be duly announced.— F. R. CAESWELL, 

 Supt. 



MR. GEO. S. THOMAS, the manager of the North Field 

 Yorkshire Kennel, at Salem, Mass, will shortly return from 

 England with quite a string of dogs, including corded 

 poodles, Irish terriers, King Charles spaniels, pugs, and 

 several noted Yorkshire terriers, with which he hopes to 

 make a clean sweep at the coming fall shows.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE NEW GAS ARM, 



FOR some little time past a considerable amount of interest 

 has been evinced on the Continent, and is now being awak- 

 ened in this country, in respect of a gun in which the propelling 

 agent is liquefied gas. Experiments with the weapon in Belgium 

 were mentioned by our Brussels correspondent two days ago. It 

 is the invention of M. Paul Giffard, a French engineer, whose 

 name is well known in all engineering circles, and who his been 

 at work intermittently upou the principle of this gun for the past 

 twenty-five years. As now brought betore the public the gun is 

 simplicity itself, but this simplicity has not been arrived at with- 

 out long and anxious thought, nor without many changes and 

 variations upon M. Giffard'? original conception. The principle, 

 however, nas always remained the same, and it is the gradual 

 development of that principle into practice which has occuoied 

 M. Giffard's time and has at length been apparently crowned 

 with success. The principle consists in the manufacture and 

 liquefaction of carbonic acid gas, so that it can he safely stored 

 up within a very small compass and will give out SOulbs. pressure 

 per square inch when liberated for actual use. In carrying this 

 principle into practice the liquefied gas is contained, under a high 

 pressure, in a metallic tubular reservoir about 9in. long, which is 

 fixed under and in a line with the barrel of the gun, and which is 

 conveniently grasped by the left hand in firing. Although con- 

 taining an immense store of power, there does not appear to be 

 any danger in a weapon thus equipped. In the first plac % the 

 reservoir is made of Siemens-Martin steel of the highest qu ihty, 

 so that a burst is hardly possible, and, in fhesecond, should a flaw 

 in the metal lead to a fracture, the gas would simply escape much 

 in the same way that it does on the opening of a hott'e of soda- 

 water. Then the quality of the metal used for the g ji.--reco.ver is 

 such that it will stand rough usage without liability lo fracture. 

 It may be, and, indeed. Pas been, knocked greatly out of shape 

 when full of gas without any prejudiced result arising, the gas 

 having been afterward used for discharging projectiles "from the 



gUD. 



So much for the special chare. -tet of the propelling agent, lique- 

 fied gas, which here takes the pla.ee of powder. We now come to
