KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 There is no charge for answering- questions under 

 this headi we are always glad to give advice on the 

 care and management of dogs: and we shall make 

 this a special feature, 



G. DE R , Hackensa^ck, N. J.— Better consult a ret. we know of 

 no remedy. 



E. J. B.. Washington, D, C— Last November my Scotch terrier 

 puppy had a bad case of distemijer from which he recovered, but 

 it left him with a twitching in the hindquarters and apparent 

 weakness there. He is quite playful and lively, appetite some 

 days good, at others he eats very littl". Bowels are legtilar, dis- 

 charge is sometimes dark, at others light; but there appears to be 

 a kind of mucus with it, occasionally tinged with blood. I have 

 been giving a tonic (prescription inclosed) for the chorea, about 

 half a teaspoonful twice a day, Ans. Your treatment is right. 

 Better give the dog a teaspoonful of syrnp of buckthorn with his 

 fond every day for a week.

AN AUTOMATIC TARGET.~An Australian inventor has added 

 anothfr to the list of automatic signalling targets. The face of 

 the target consi^sflf rings divided Into a total of 23 separate mov- 

 ing pieces for sections, the back of each section being attached to 

 oblicine oscillating levers connected with a horizontal balancing 

 bar. When any of the sections are struck the h v<»rs oscillate, and 

 in so doing raise the horizontal balancing bar, which comes in con- 

 tact with a clutch bar runn'ng horizontally above it. This latter, 

 being forced up, releases a signalling lever, in which is fixed a 

 signalling disk, which instantl.v appears in view. Each section of 

 the target has a different signalling disk, so ttiat it is at once seen 

 from the firing pomt whpre the bullet has struck. After remain- 

 ing in Bight for a few seconds the lever with the disk returns to 

 its place and the target is ready for the nest shot. There are also 

 two attachments which can be fitted to the target. Tiie first 

 shows the position of the shot by means of a recording ins'rument 

 placed at the firing point and connected electrically with the 

 target. The second is an arrangement bv which each shot is regis- 

 tered on a scroll of paper placed inside the tnrgef, and this roll 

 can be compart d with the manual record at the end of the practice. 



NEW YORK, Feb. 7.— The weekly meeting of the New York 

 Pistol and Revolver Club at the St. Murk's Place range is always

THE DEAF-MUTE CHAMPIONSHIP. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



A deaf-mute marksman —how stranee the words sound. Never- 

 theless it's a fact. It has been 10 years since myearswere forever 

 closed to all sense of sound. I am known throughout the English 

 speaking deaf-mute world as the "Silent Rifleman," and I now 

 stand unchallenged as ihe finest living deaf-mute marksman. 

 Thinking my history would interest the readers of Fob est and 

 Strbam, I hope it won't be ont of place: I was born in County 

 Kerry, Ireland, Aug. 3. 1869, Took to the rifle with wonderful 

 naturalness. The last decade of almost constant and persistent 

 practice has made me what I am. I am not vei'y well versed in 

 shotgun or long-range rifle shooting. My forte is as a wing, f ancv 

 and snap-sliot with 33cal. Winchester repeating guns. My record 

 is 174 balls broken in succession. Can also hit coins, marbles, etc., 

 quite well. At 32ft. I have mode the following shots: Rung a 

 one-inch target bell 388 times in succession. Stood on my head 

 and hit same target 23 out of .25 shots. Shot in every position 

 known to fancy shots and rung bell almost wit bout a miss. I also 

 do the following .*ots. and 1 think I am the originator: Lie flat 

 on back, hold gun upside down above my body horizontally (my 

 head to target ) and sight with a small mirror. Stand upright and 

 hold gun at h1p and tie handkerchief over mv eyes in such a man- 

 ner as to enable me to see my feet, in this position I sight with the 

 mirror and hit the bell every time. On July 4, 1889, I fired a 

 Ballard rifle 27 times in 60 seconds and hit a }^in. bell 14 times. 

 Same day I fired tsvo .22 Winchester repeaters .50 times in 27 

 seconds and hit a lOin. circle every time. I can fire the Colt's new 

 lightning .32 15 shots in almost a breath. I shoot coins out of my 

 brother's fingers, and can do many wonderful feats with gallery 

 rifles. I enjoy a hunt as well as my hearing brothers do. lam 

 never discouraged, as I receive complimentary letters from all 

 over theVouutry congratulating me in acquiring so mucli skill 

 laboring under my disadvantages. In these branches of marksman- 

 ship I hold the world's championship among deaf-mutes, and my 

 challenge to deaf-mutes is still unconditional and open to the 

 world. Deijnis J. O'Connkll, 



Champion Deaf-mute of the World.

CHICAGO TRAPS. 



THE proposed prohibitory pigeon law for Illinois is exciting the 

 greatest discussion here. The Illinois State Sportsmen's 

 Association meets Feb. 13 for game law discussion, and action on 

 this pigeon law will then be taken. The bill vriil hardly become a 

 law and if it did the law would not be observed any more than 

 the Pennsylvania law. The men who vote for this measure will 

 he marked men, and if the sportsmen of the State can ever get 

 back at them they surely will. The measure is mentioned here 

 only with the most open disgust. The mover of this bill wants 

 praise and glory from the humanitarians. He will get little 

 enough of that from any one. His reasons are unreasonable, 

 illogical and altogether selfish. They will have small weight.

MACALESTER AT MONTE CARLO, 



The pigeon shooting honors at Monte Carlo for 1891 have again 

 been won by the Italians, as they were in 1888 and 18S9, with Sig. 

 Gti'dicini. The meeting began on Jan. 19, with the usual hirge 

 number of "cracks" from England, France, Belgium, Austria, 

 Italv, with the United Sta'es representfd by Mr. Maealester, ot 

 the Philadelphia and New York clubs. That iVIac wa.s held In re- 

 spect by the "bookies" assembled at Monte Carlo was shown by 

 making him the favorite for the grand prize at ItlO to 6 against, 

 with the next nin" at 100 to 4, the next ten at 100 to 3, and the 

 famous shots, Lord de Clifford and Sig. Guidicini at 40 to 1 each.

 fixtures, the grand PouU d'Essai. at $20 each, with $400 added, at 

 2 birds each, at 35, 26 and 27 meters, Mr. Macalestcr killed all his 

 birds, as did fifteen otliers. In shooting "miss and out'" at 38 

 meters the American held his own up to the twelfth bird. It was 

 then so dark that a postponement had been offered and refused. 

 Macalester missed, leaving the English shooters, Horton and 

 Barker, todivide flrstand second prizes, $1 373, Macalester getting 

 the third prize worth S393. 



The second fixture (shot Jan, 21) was the Prix d'Owt'erfrure, at $30 

 pQCh, with $800 and a piece of silver added, 5 birds, miss and out. 

 It had 87 entries, of which 14 killed their 5 birds. Including Mr. 

 Macalester. In shooting off he missed his ninth bird, and the prize 

 was finally won by Count Ga joli; prize was worth $978. 



The Grand Prize was shot Jan'. 38 and 24. with an entrance of 97 

 shooters, at $40 each, to which was added .WiOO*! and an objet 

 d'art; conditions, 5 birds at 36 meters and 7 at 37 meters. No less 

 than 18 killed all the shorter rise, but only two were fortunate at 

 the 37 meters, viz., the two Italians. Count Lucca Gajoli and Sig. 

 Verri. The latter, a new man, in his first season, missed his thir- 

 teenth bird, and the winner of the Prix d^Ouverture, (liount (jajoli, 

 added $3,958 and the handsome piece of silver to his estate.

BROOKLYN, Feb. 3.— The new shooting rules of the Acme Gun 

 CluD went into effect at to-day's shoot on the Dexter Park 

 grounds. The club will hold ten shoots during the year, and each 

 man must fire at 20 bluerocks each .shoot. The rise will be ISyds., 

 but a handidap of one yard will be added if the mai-ksman sue* 

 ceeds in breaking 13 and not more than 14 targets. The shooter 

 must stand at 18yds. rise, having broken more than 14 targets, and 

 if a member does not succeed in breaking 13 bluerocks he will 

 stand again at 10yds. rise at the next monthly shoot. At the end 

 of the shdoUng season the eight highe.st scores of each man will 

 count, aud in case of any member shooting leps than eight times 

 an equivalent number of blank scores will be added. The men 

 having the three highest averages will be entitled to the three 

 club prizes. Sixteen shooters went to the score to day, and three 

 of them, M. Schottler, T. Short and P. Kunzweller, will shoot 

 from tbe 18yds. mark next month. Vorbaoh, Link, Lindstadt and 

 Landmann will shoot at 17yds. distance in March. The general 

 results were much higher than those of the January mef ting, not- 

 withstanding the fact that the right trap threw the target swiftly 

 and far, and also at a much lower angle than the left trap. 



Feb *.— The cold northwesterly wind that blew across the ground 

 at Woodlawn Park, L. I., to-day when the Fountain Gun Club 

 was out for its usual monthly shoo'', helped a lot of good birds to 

 get awav from the crack shooters of the club. Only one, and that 

 one a n^w member, made a clean score of 7 straight and won the 

 club hadgp — R. Pbister, He shot in excellent form, but was ex- 

 celled by Dr. Schwartz, who, although he only killed 6 from tbe 

 30yds. mark, yet in a subsequent sweepstake at 35yds. he killed 7 

 more siraight, beating such crack shots as Dr. Sheila and 0. 

 Williams. 



A very poor attendance and poor scoi'es prevailed at Dexter 

 Park, L. I., when the Manhattan Gun Club, of New York city, 

 went there for its regular monthly shoot; 7 birds was the allow- 

 ance lor e^ch shooter, but nut one could make a clean score. 

 LUcheuhurger won the club medal with a score of 6, and Bayer 

 and Gennerich divided the second prize with 5 each.
