 the charge on any one train baggageman's route be over $1.35, 

 and provided further that the charge shall in no case exceed

DOG TALK. 



I VISITED the Bradford dog show to-day and although it 

 is called a small show in this country, I think if Ameri- 

 can buyers had a better idea of the size of these shows they 

 would have a better idea of the value of prizes won at such 

 shows and not put too great a value to some and too little 

 to others. 



The entries at Bradford number 554, divided as follows: 

 Greyhounds 7, pointers 3. setters 4, spaniels 11, retrievers 6, 

 bass'et hounds 5, smooth fox-terriers 10, wire-haired fox- 

 terriers 57 (with a mixed local class of 36), Airedale terriers 

 67, Welsh terriers 9, Irish terriers 6, Scottish and Skye 9, bull 

 terriers 7, white and black and tau terriers 8 St, Bernards 13, 

 mastiff 1, Newfoundlands 3, collies (rough and smooth) 81, 

 schipperkes 3, pugs 35, Yorkshire terriers 33. 



The show is held only one day and as benching would be 

 rather expensive for such a few hours, the dogs are tied to 

 stakes and given an ample supply of bedding. There is some 

 little draft under the marquees but as these shows are only 

 held in warm weather, the draft is agreeable rather than 

 otherwise- 



The judging is done out in the open air, all well enough 

 in fine weather, but I imagine Mrs. Foster found it rather 

 disagreeable when judging the pugs, for it rained full one 

 half the time she occupied the ring. 



The dogs all arrived before 11 A. M., and were doubtless 

 all in their own kennels by 10 o'clock the same night. In 

 fact when the judging finished at 6 P. M. fully one' half of 

 the dogs had gone home, rather rough on the public but 

 good for the dogs. 



As each exhibitor goes into the ring he is handed a large 

 placard with the number of his dog on it in letters full three 

 inches long. When this placard is attached to the button 

 hole, the visitor can tell at a glance which dog is which by 

 comparison with the catalogue. The prize cards are handed 

 to the exhibitor as he passes out, but as they are not half of 

 them placed over the dogs, the visitor must wait until he 

 gets the paper to know who won. 



The only entry in mastiffs was Mr, Crabtree's well known 

 Count Orleans," an excellent all round specimen. In St. 

 Bernard dogs Mr. Sydney Smith's Young Wallace secured 

 an easy victory. In bitches, the winner, Jas. Mellor's Baron- 

 ess Rothschild, should have been second to Mr. Smith's 

 Lady Florin, the Baroness is weak behind, turned in at the 

 hocks and too long in body, though with excellent head. 

 Lady Florin shows much more character and is straight and 

 sound. The setter and pointer classes were not only small 

 but poor in quality. 



Spaniels though a small class were excellent. Mr. Muir- 

 head's team of black fields are about the finest I ever saw, 

 the bitch Sensation is much the best field spaniel I have seen. 

 In Clumbers, Mr. Pratt's Boaz and Boaz II. were the winners. 

 Boaz would beat anything I ever saw in the States quite 

 easily, he has a very good skull, good depth of muzzle, 

 plenty of lip, good sturdy well-made limbs and a good 

 length and depth of body, he is excellent in character and a 

 good mover. As he has been bred to Mr. Mercer's Snow, I 

 took particular notice of him. 



Bull-terriers were only a fairish lot. James Thorpe's 

 Bonny II., byBendigo, and one or two others, showed quite a 

 little merit. 



The only entry in Newfoundlands was a son of Lord Nel- 

 son and a promising youngster he was. It is a shame that 

 Americans have allowed this excellent breed to deteriorate 

 so in the States. 



Mr. Stretch and Mr. Ainscough carried off most of the hon- 

 ors in collies with some very fair specimens. 



The schipperkes were a fair lot, of the type of the winner 

 of third at Boston. 



Airedale and fox-terriers were large and strong classes. 



The gate receipts were something enormous, and I must 

 not close my notes without a word about the lunch given to 

 the judges and press. It was excellent in quality, ample in 

 quantity and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Mr. Jos. Far- 

 well presi wided,th Col . Tibbett, the American Consul, at his 

 left hand. 



It is hardly the proper thing to peach on a friend, espe- 

 cially one that has proved as hospitable as Mr. Sydney Smith 

 but I could never keep a real good thing to myself. Mr. 

 Smith, although a magistrate of the largest borough in Eng- 

 land, was up before the court himself a few days back and 

 fined $1.35 for having his St. Bernards Alton and Lady Floris 

 out on the street without muzzles. 



Speaking of muzzles I cannot help noticing that full one 

 half I see are a mere farce, the dogs can bite almost as well 

 with them on as with them off. 



Just before I left the States, I wrote a short note on that 

 most excellent breed, the Newfoundland. I find that the 

 interest, in the breed is full as great as it was last year, there 

 will be 10 classes at the Crystal Palace show with 10 specials. 



Spratts Patent have a very dangerous rival in this country 

 in The Sanitary Food Co., manufacturers of the Protean 

 Foods. Dr. Andrews is the promoter of the scheme and Mr. 

 S. Deacon, the well known greyhound man, is the manager 



at shows. They are talking of establishing a depot in the 

 States shortly. Competition is the life of trade. 



Over 7,000 people passed through the turnstiles at the Brad- 

 ford show. Not, bad for a one day show. 



The Stock-Keeper states that the smooth St. Bernard Ino, 

 the sire of Keeper and brother to Guide, has gone the way 

 of all flesh. 



I also notice in the same journal, a call for a greyhound 

 club. The United States with two, and old England just 

 waking up! Yea, verily, the world do move, 



I am getting anxious to know what the two English setter 

 clubs have decided upon. I certainly hope they have con- 

 solidated, for there is no room for two clubs, and there are 

 plenty of good men in both the club already formed and 

 the new one, that I suppose is under way ere this.

TORONTO DOG SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



A meeting of the Toronto Industrial Exhibition dog show 

 committee was held this week when arrangements were

 of September next. There were present Mr. J. Wilson in 

 chair, Messrs J. Massey. John Maughan, J. G. Mitchener, 

 H. B. Donovan, C. H. Nelson, and 0. A. Stone, Secretary 

 and Superintendent.

 those already published for the best kennel of four or more 

 owned by one exhibitor or kennel: Mastiffs $20, St. Ber- 

 nards $20, Irish setters $15, greyhounds $15, bloodhounds $25, 

 English setters $15, cockers $15. collies $15, bulldogs $15, 

 pugs $15, fox-terriers $15. great Danes $15, Gordons $15, and

 best greyhound dog or bitcn owned in Canada, value $10. It 

 was also decided to add $10 in the open dog class for mastiffs. 



The premium lists are now ready and can be obtained by 

 any one on dropping a post card to the secretary at Toronto. 



C. A. STONE, Secretary. 



ENGLISH VS. AMERICAN BEAGLES. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I notice in your last issue that "Hibernia" credits me with 

 having expressed certain opinions of the beagle Blue Belle 

 II. , and which opinions he criticises. Please say that I never 

 expressed any such opinion as referred to. I think that if 

 my awards when judging have been criticised more for one 

 thing than another it has been for placing working-sized 

 hounds capable of performing the kind of work required of 

 our beagles in this country over the small or toy ones. I 

 should refer "Hibernia" for my views on beagles to the March , 

 1890, A. K. C. Gazette, and also to articles written by me, 

 copies of which I should be pleased to send him if he desh-es 

 if he sends me his address. Herman F. Scijellhass. 



LORD RAGLAN— WDKTC— Editor Forest and Stream : 

 I h ave swapped the mastiff Edric, by Jack Th yr out of Emma, 

 with Dr. Geo. B. Ayres and Clinton N. Powell, Esq., of 

 Omaha, for the mastiff Lord Raglan, younger brother to 

 Orlando. Of course I got the "beat" on'Messrs. A. & P. in 

 this deal— otherwise I wouldn't mention it. They have a 

 dog with which they say they are going to hurry all the 

 cracks at dog shows, but I have got the very wisest and best 

 watch I ever saw, with an affectionate reservation in favor 

 of my old Gipsey. What Rag don't know about his busi- 

 ness isn't worth knowing, and my pet crank, that show-bred 

 mastiffs are worthless for watchdogs, has got a very big 

 hole through it.— W. Wade (Hulton, Pa„ July 19). 



THE MARYLAND KENNEL CLUB DELEGATE.— At 

 a recent meeting of the Maryland Kennel Club resolutions 

 were passed condemning the action of the A. K. C. in refus- 

 ing to accept Mr. C. J. Peshall as their representative, and 

 Mr. Peshall was unanimously elected as delegate of the 

 club.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



A NEW EXPLOSIVE. 



QAINT ETIENNE, Eranre, .July 9 -Saint Etienne, near Lyons, 

 O is the French Springfield. Here are. tried and experimented 

 Uppn all inventions relating- to the armament of French troops, 

 and designed to work for French defence what the first instal- 

 ments of Springfield guns did fur t he preservation of the Union. 

 There is a Government manufacture of small arms here as well as 

 many private manufactories of sporting guns. The Chamber of 

 Commerce recently granted to M. Paul Giffard, (be inventor of a 

 new gun, a prize of |2,000 and a gold medal, and trials of the new 

 weapon arc about to be made in Paris under the direction of the 

 military inspectors. The Giffard gun uses neither fulmiuate nor 

 gunpowder, not even the so-called 'smokeless powder," so much 

 talked about. These are replaced by a sinule drop oi a Volatile 

 liquid, which, falling into a closed chamber behind the projectile, 

 develops by vaporizing a great pressure and thus gives impet us to 

 the projectile. The fluid is a liquefied gas, inclosed in a steel 

 cartridge provided with an escaping valve regulated by a mov- 

 able screw, tty pressing on tne hammer i he valve is opened and 

 the shot discharged. 



The cartridge contains 100 grammes of the liquid. One-third of 

 a gramme is a sufficient charge for one shot in an ordinary hunt- 

 ing gun like the one, presented by M. Giffard to th" Chamber of 

 Commerce of St. Etienne. The same cartridge is good, therefore, 

 for 300 shots. After every shot a new bullet is introduced, but it 

 is certain that a repeating mecbauism will soon be added by 

 which the supply of bullets will be continuous. There is no fear 

 of overheating the gnu, for the shooting rather cools it, the. con- 

 densation of the. gas absorbing the caloric, just as the ammonia in 

 the ice-making machine. Moreover, the liquefied gas does not 

 evaporize instantaneously, but expands gradually, so that the 

 projectile acquires its greatest velocity only at the moment of 

 leaving the mouth of the weapon. Consequently there is nothing 

 to fear from violent and sudden pressure upon the sides of the 

 guu, and thus the projectile force can be utilized to the maxi- 

 mum. 



The detonation is something like that of the uncorking of a 

 champagne bottle, a sharp, snort pop, and nothing more. Of 

 course there is no smoke and no fouling of the gun. The liquid 

 by its volatilization gives out no disagreeable odor like that of the 

 smokeless powder of the Austrian army, which asphyxiated some 

 of the soldiers during the trials in rapid firing. 



Such is a rough sketch of the new guu. its real value will soon 

 be determined by the trials ordered by the French Government.— 

 N. Y. Tribune. 



THE GERMAN-AMERICAN RIFLEMEN. 



BERLIN, July 14.— Mr. Philips and Dr. Lansing left for Bremen 

 Monday morning, while forty Independents started for 

 Cologne Monday night. They complained of the. scandalous ne- 

 glect of the sharpshooters' committee which by incompetent 

 officinuaness and red tape failed to deliver the entire lot of tro- 

 phies. The Schuotxenfest has lost 100,000 marks by niggardly 

 arrangements and bad management. Captain Diehl of the Inde"- 

 pendents, who is suffering with dropsy, will ;go to the Manheim 

 baths. 



July 17.— The American riflemen arrived at Biugen last night 

 from Oberlohestcin. Despite a drenching thunderstorm that was 

 prevailing when they arrived an enthusiastic crowd was await- 

 ing to welcome them. The city was decorated and illuminated 

 in honor of the Americans. 



July 18.— The American riflemen visited Niederwald to-day and 

 placed a laurel wreath on the Germania Monument. Mr. Weber 

 delivered an address. In the afternoon the Americans drove to 

 Rudesbeim and partook of a kellerfest. 



July 19. —The American riflemen arrived at Nettstadt, in the 

 Palatine, to-day, and were enthusiastically welcomed. The Bur- 

 gomaster, surrounded by the local riflemen and the municipal 

 authorities, delivered an address of welcome. The Americans 

 were heartily cheered. Mr. Herman Weber made an address in 

 reply to the Burgomaster's speech. A grand banquet will be 

 given to the visitors to night. 



Neustadt, Bavaria, July 20. — An immense crowd witnessed the 

 procession here to-day in honor of the New York Independent 

 Shooting Corps. The procession was headed by mounted rifle- 

 men, then came a band of music and t ben the Neustadt Rifles. 

 After these came the American riflemen, Messrs. Weber and 

 Diehl riding in carriages festnorie.d with flowers. The visitors 

 were loudly cheered along the whole route. In the evening a din- 

 ner was given at the headquarters of the Neustadt Rifles, and 

 this was followed by a concert, a display of fireworks and a grand 

 hall. 



BOSTON, July 19.— The regular weekly shoot of the Massachu- 

 setts llifle Association was held at its range to-day amid all kinds 

 of weather conditions, heavy showers, high winds and had light 

 making high scores impossible, except in a few cases later in the 

 day, when the conditions were a little better. Following are the 

 best scores made to-day; distance 200yds., standard American 

 target:
