show I would respectfully recommend that our nest meeting, 

 being- the annual meeting of the club, should be held on Thurs- 

 day, Feb. 26, 1891, at. the Madison Square GaTrien, instead of at the 

 office of the club, as heretofore. The annual dues of our active 

 members are new due and payable, ard bills were mailed to each 

 member of the club on Nov. 29 last. Bills and circulars have been 

 prepared for each associate number for the pa>ment of the. 

 annual dues of 1891, which are due and payable between Jan. 1 

 and 20 nrxr, and the same will be mailed on the 15th of this 

 month. The Elmira Poultry and Pet Stock Association made 

 application for re admission, hut I was obliged to return the 

 application and dues to ihnt. association, for the reason that not- 

 withstanding plain instructions to ihem regarding the proper 

 manner as required by the constitution to tile its application it 

 did not send ihe papers in proper form. I have rot leeeived anv 

 further communication from them on the subject. I have just 

 received a communication from Mr. E. M. Oldham, requesting a 

 reply to bis Idler of the 28th ult. asking for an extension of time 

 to enable hirn 1o make his defense. This letter of Nov. 28 has 

 never reached me and I would respectfully recommend that Mr. 

 Oldham be granted an extension of two we'^ks before tl e penalty 

 be enforced. Respectfully submitted, A. P. Ybedenbtjbgh, Sec'y. 

 Accepted. 



Secretary "Vreden burgh, also read his treasurer's report, which 

 is as follows: 



New Yojjk. Dec. in. 1890. -To the Executixe Committee, Ameri- 

 can Kennel Club: Gentlemen— I herewith submit my report of 

 moneys received and disbursed by me during- the year 1890 to 

 date: 



Receipts from all sources from Jan. 1 to date $8 679 33 



Expenses for same period 6,192 18 



Balance, on hand.. .82,487 15 



1 beg to report that every obligation has been met, we have no 

 outstanding indebtedness, and we are now closing a satisfactory 

 and prosperous year. Respectfully submitted, A. P. Vreden- 

 burgh, Treasurer. 

 Accepted. 



The report of the advisory committee was also read and ac- 

 cepted. 



Relative to the appenl in the matter of the setter special taken 

 by Max Wenzel against the Westminster Kennel Club, which was 

 acted upon by the advisory committee, held Nov. 1, 18B0, Mr. Wen- 

 zel protested on the ground that the derision was in direct con- 

 flict with a former decision rendered in the Thompson case at the 

 Richmond show, and moved that the decision of the advisory 

 committee be overruled. Motion lost- 



At this point Mr. C. J. Pesball appeared and addressed the 

 meeting and then withdrew, the chair peimitt ing him to proceed, 

 there being no objection made by the delegates, and no further 

 action had in his case, 



Mb. Anthont: I have a resolution to offer. I offer it with 

 great pain, but as a duty. Our President, Mr. Belmont's father, 

 was years ago known to me very well, when I was a younger man, 

 and when the entrance to his house, when Mr. Belmont, Jr. was a 

 mere boy, was thought to be the making of a young man in society. 

 Many years ago I had occasion to be away along time in Europe, 

 and I ceased to have any social intercourse with him; but in 

 course of my business as a banker and broker I have had many 

 business transactions, years ago. not of late years, with him. In 

 all that time I have never known a man of stricter integrity or 

 honor in business transactions, or in any other: a man whose ex- 

 ample, if followed more by men of affairs of the present day. 

 would do more to raise the business standard of the community 

 than auvthing else that could be imagined. I have prepared the 

 following resolutions, which I ask may bo engrossed and placed on 

 the minutes; 



Whereas, It has pleased Divine Providence to remove from 

 this life Mr. August Belmont, the honored father of our honored 

 president, and 



Whereas, We are mindful of the high public character and 

 worth of the deceased, it is fitting that, we should place on record 

 this token of our public appreciation of the man v excellent traits 

 that have rendered his name a synonym for honor among the busi- 

 ness community of the world. 



Resolved, That we tender to our president our sincere sympathy 

 in this the hour of his bereavement. 



Resolved, Further, that these resolutions be suitably engrossed 

 and placed on t he minutes. 



The resolutions as read were unanimously adopted. 



Mr. Watson (withdrawing as a delegate) called attention to his 

 appeal in the matter of reserve numbers against the Rochester 

 Kennel Club and asked for a change in the wording of the decis- 

 ion of the advisory committee, and on motion the decision of 

 the advisory committiee was amended to read as follows: "Re- 

 solved that in the opinion of this committee reserve numbers 

 should be given to all cases, but in the case of the collie, special at 

 Rochester in 1889, the Rochester Kennel Club having declined to 

 accede to Mr. Watson's request for a reserve number for the rea- 

 son that the j'"dge. had not awarded anv reserve number, this club 

 cannot give relief in the case." 



The following applications for membership were read and ac- 

 cepted: Central City Kennel Club. Delaware and Susquehanna 

 Poultry and Pet Stock Association, Indiana State Poultry Associ- 

 ation. South Carolina Kennel Association, and Bull Dog Club of 

 America. 



Concerning the. conflict of dates on which the Central City Ken- 

 nel Club and the South Carolina Poultry and Pet Stock Association 

 have arranged to hold their shows, Mr. Anthony moved that as 

 these clubs hold their shows in such widely separated places in 

 the United States no conflict of dates on this occasion would 

 work any injury to either of them, therefore they be permitted to 

 hold their shows, provided there is no objection made by the 

 competing club. 



The resignation of the Rhode Island Kennel Club was, on motion 

 of Mr. Anthony, accepted. 



The request of the secretary to publish his annual statement in 

 the Gazette for January, and also for the appointment of a com- 

 mittee to audit his accounts before publication, was, on motion, 

 granted. 



Regarding the suggestion of a former presidentof this club that 

 it would be well for the American Kennel Club to take steps 

 toward a bench show at the World's Fair at Chicago, and the 

 recommendation of Secretary Vredenburgh that a committee of 

 three be appointed to examine into the matter, and report, on 

 motion of Mr. Anthony, the recommendation was adopted. 



On motion, the charges filed with the secretary as stated in his 

 reuort against Mr. Frederick Eniken and others, was referred to 

 the advisory committee. 



The recommendation of the secretary that the annual meeting 

 of the American Kennel Club be held at the Madison Square 

 Garden during the Westminster Kennel Club Show, was, on 

 motion, adopted. 



The request of Mr. E. M. Oldham for an extension of time to 

 enable him to make his defense, was referred to, and on motion of 

 Mr. Wilmerding, his time was extended until Jan. 1, 1891. 

 Adjourned. A. P. Vredenburgh, Sec'y. 



MR. PESHALL AND THE A. K. C— At the meeting of 

 the advisory committee of the A. K. C, last September, Pres- 

 ident Belmont announced that Mr. Peshall must be put 

 down. The club presumably put him down, but he refuses 

 to stay put. One of the unexpected incidents at the A. K. C. 

 meeting last week was the entrance of Mr. Peshall, who 

 stood up before the delegates aud addressed them fiercely, 

 denouncing them in unmeasured terms for their action in 

 having disqualified him without a hearing, in secret session 

 and at a time when they knew he was to be put under arrest. 

 Having said his say he departed. The Vredenburgh— Peshall 

 suit is down for next Monday.

THE BOOK OF THE GAME LAWS. 



TN this book of 238 pages Mr. Reynolds ha3 given information of 

 the utmost value to e very man and woman— for women are not 

 exempt from the operations of the fish and game laws— in this coun- 

 try that catches fish or kills game. The different States which go to 

 make up this Republic have in recent years given greater and more 

 serious attention to framing laws for the protection and preserva- 

 tion of animals which serve both as food and game; counties in 

 the States and townships in the counties have procured special 

 legislation in the same direction, until there is a network of laws, 

 general and local, covering the forests, the plains and the waters, 

 a knowledge of which is indispensable to every sportsman if he 

 would avoid fine or imprisonment, or both. 



Newspaper men should join in presenting Mr. Reynolds with 

 the freedom of every sanctum in the laDd, in a gold box, for he 

 has dispelled some of the terrors of joornalism, particularly 

 sporting journalism. Now, when a correspondent in California 

 writes to a newspaper in New York or Boston to ask about the 

 close season for fishing in the mill pond back of the house, the 

 weary editor can turn to the Book of the Game Laws and give a 

 correct reply. The old method was to consult law libraries for 

 the. session laws of the State, look over the newspaper file at a 

 venture, write to the Secretary of State and Chairman of the 

 Board of Supervisors of the county, and at las' find the particular 

 law pasted in the scrap-book: aud its provisions were sent to the 

 inquirer with the fear that the reply would get him in jail, be- 

 cause the law had been amended or repealed. 



The volume before us contains the complete laws, general and 

 local, of all the States, Territories and Provinces that have en- 

 acted fish and game laws, and the laws which govern Yellows'.one 

 Park; and after close examination we are surprised at its com- 

 pleteness and accuracy. Under suitable headings, easy of refer- 

 ence, the different sections of different laws, and their provisions, 

 are made as plain as a turnpike through a forest— provided it is 

 possible to make them plain, for there are a few laws that cannot 

 be made plain by the men who made them. 



This is the first complete work of this kind, that is reliable, in 

 this country and we wish it the success that it deserves as an 

 educator.— Shooting and Fishing. 



Dan'l was the biggest liar in town and Dan'l always 

 appealed to his father to verify bis fearful yarns. Hani's 

 father was old, a little deaf and belonged to the Methodist 

 Church. It was not to be supposed that the old gentleman 

 would indorse lies, and thus the neighbors concluded. But 

 here is how Dan'l got around his poor old dad. "Went down 

 tert' brook yesterday," Dan'l would relate. "Caught tew 

 hundred and four pick'ril, say, didn't I dad?" And the old 

 man, benignantly listening, would hear ''four" and meekly 

 reply, "Yes, Dan'l." Then the able liar would edge around 

 "back to" his father, and with tbe edge of his hand measure 

 off the length of his arm before the eyes of his astonished 

 guest. "Caught one pick'ril, a whopper, longen that, say, 

 warnt he, dad?" The old man would gaze upon the six 

 inches of scrawny wrist and forearm as wily Dan'l whirled 

 and measured for bis benefit, and humbly but firmly assert,

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE BRITISH MAGAZINE ARM. 



THE London Times has opened a most vigorious attack upon the 

 new service arm which has been adopt' d for tbe use of tbe 

 British regulars. The main charges of the Times are, first, that 

 the "bolt action" which is adopted in the new service rifle, is far 

 inferior to the "block action." the only merit of the former being 

 that it lends itself conveniently to the requirements of a, repeating 

 rifle; secondly, tbathowf ver good the original Lee rifle submitted 

 to the Small Arms committee may have heen, it has been rendered 

 very detective by the alterations of an official at Enfield on whom 

 the members of the committee, not being themselves practical 

 mechanicians, were, it is suggested, virtually dependent of 

 guidance. Thirdly, we are to.d that the committee ought, before 

 finally decidine on a new weapon, to have investigated the ques- 

 tion as to the possibility of satisfactorily adapting the block prin- 

 ciple to a repeater, being put upon such an inquire by the admitted 

 pioducnon to them, two years ago, of Major Godsal's beautiful 

 and ingenious rifle, in which this combination is effected. The 

 mam argument of the Times is, however, that which was so vigor- 

 ously enforced years ago against the late Col. Fletcher's com- 

 mittee—viz., that such a committee has no right to take upon itself 

 ' constructive, functions." and should limit, itself to those which 

 are "judicial." It is also asserted that the Government have been 

 fully warned by numerous competent authorities, including a late 

 Chief Instructor of the School of Musketry, that the newrifle was 

 not satisfactory, and that the Indian Government were unwilling 

 to accept it. In answer to these serious charges, the Secretary for 

 War replies in effect— first, that the Small Arms commit tee, 'pre- 

 sided over by General Philip Smith, had rareiullv examined 

 everymagazine rifle that could be obtained, but that Major God- 

 sal's rifle was not at that time produced; that the rifle recom- 

 mended by the committee had been tried in various parts of the 

 world with satisfactory resuite; and that subsequently a large 

 number of officers and officials, including General Anderson, 

 Director of Artillery, Mr. Anderson, Director of Ordnance Fac- 

 tories, and Mr. John Rigby, Superintendent of the Small Arms 

 E artery, unanimously recommended that the manufacture of tbe 

 rifle selected by the committee should he proceeded with. This 

 was done, and exhaustive trials were made bv certain troops. All 

 the reports upon these, including that from the late Chief In- 

 structor at Hythe, were carefully considered, and in consequence, 

 certain alterations in detail were recommended for adoption. Mr. 

 Stanhope then quotes a statement officially laid before him bv the 

 Adjutant-General of the Forces, according to which the continuous 

 trial of about 15,000 stand of the new arm at Aldershot for ten weeks 

 had shown that, although certain defects have appeared, none of 

 them are such as to prove that the rifle is other than a good 

 military arm— being indeed those incidental to early manufacture, 

 and not greater than those which attended the first issue of the 

 Martini-Henry. The Adjutant-General's statement concludes by 

 saying that, "judging from the experience of that issue [that of 

 the 15,000 rifles,], we have every reason to believe that we shall have 

 in the magazine rifle a thoroughly useful weapon." With regard 

 to the objection to the "bolt action," Mr. Stanhope points out that 

 that form of action has been adopted by the experts of France. 

 Germany, Austria. Italy, and Russia. He also denies entirely the 

 allegations of the Times that the rifle was not thought fit for use 

 by the Government of India. Broad Arrow saj s: "Tbe. .303 maga- 

 zine rifle has no friends— other than official friends, culpable ac- 

 cessories before and after the fact. The country is in presence of 

 a failure, a huge, colossal, costly failure. Rifle, powder, projectile 

 are unsmted the one to the other, and unsuitable severally and 

 collectively. The mending process, which at the best is unsatis- 

 fac [ ory, has broken down, and the sooner the end begins the better 

 it will be for all concerned." The Army and Navy Gazette lays 

 great stress upon the exhaustive and damaging criticism made by 

 the Times, and for its own part adds: "There is one matter con- 

 nected with the rifle which 'jumps to the eyes' of every one who 

 sees a soldier of the modern average height shouldering or trying 

 to shoulder it; it is that arms cannot be shouldered nor carried at 

 a slope in consequence of the magazine catching under the man's 

 arm or on his shoulder, and that when the magazine rifle is used 

 the manual diill is all out of gear. In effect, hoping for the best , 

 we have come to the conclusion that, whether as regards the 

 mechanism of the rifle or magazine action, the ammunition or the 

 projectiles, there is reason for anxiety and uneasiness, and that 

 earnest efforts at a satisfactory solution of difficulties are im- 

 peratively and instantly demanded." The British Government 

 has. so far, expended upward of a million pounds on the Lee rifle.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. — At the last meeting of the Cali- 

 fornia Schuetzen Club Pnilo Jaeoby, the well-known marksman, 

 and who has been for many years President of the club, extended 

 au invitation to all members and their families to visit the new 

 park. The. object of the visit was to see the work which had been 

 accomplished by the Board of Park Directors, and that manv of 

 the new members might become better acquainted with the 

 workings of the club. About 200 persons took advantage, of the 

 tine weather and availed themselves of an outing in the country. 

 Ia addition to the dancing and games indulged in a bull's eye shoot, 

 was had by the members, and much sport and merriment was in- 

 dulged in as some of the well-known crack shots of the Coast, 

 would take deliberate aim, Are and miss the black. President 

 Jaeoby had during the week collected several prizes from the 

 friends of the club, and in order to make the shoot to-day success- 

 ful and one to be remembered by the participants, placed the 

 prizes as mementos to be contested for by members. 



At Harbor View to-day George Helm showed that he is not 

 falling behind, and) hat he intends to keep up his recent good 

 shooting. He fired 50 shots at the 2o-ring target and did not at 

 any time miss the black— 12in. in diameter at a distance of 200yds. 

 In his first 20 shots he scored 441 points, and in his second twenty 

 440 points. 



The rifle range at Shell Mound Park was well patronized to-day, 

 it being the occasion of the regular practice and medal com- 

 petition for several companies of the National Guard. The event 

 of the day, however, was a match between the. active and honor- 

 ary members of Company C, Second Artillery Regiment, ten men 

 on a side, the losers to pay for a dinner to be served at the. park 

 immediately upon the close of the contest. Score:
