NAVAL COURTS MARTIAL.— The Army and Navy Publish- 

 ing Company, Washineton, D. C, has just issued a pamphlet on 

 Naval Summary Courts Martial, compiled by Lieutenant Lemly, 

 U. S. Na^y, and Lieutenant Denny, U. S. Marine Corps, attached 

 to the Judge Advocate General's Office, Navy Department. The 

 pamphlet treats of the constitution, composition and jurisdiction 

 of summary courts, of the trial and its incidents and includes all 

 the recent rulings and decisions of the Department on subjects 

 that relate to such courts. A complete "form of procedure" is 

 appended. It will be a valuable little reference book, a reliable 

 and convenient guide to naval and marine officers detailed for 

 court martial duty. 



ANOTHER OCEAN TRAMP.-Captain Wm. A. Andrews, the 

 bold and hardy navigator wnose name is familiar in connection 

 with the Nautilus and Dark Secret, is about to undertake another 

 dangerous and foolhardy voyage; this time in a flat-bottomed 

 centerboard dory, 15ft. long, 5ft. beam and 2ft. depth. His inten- 

 tion, as announced, is to sail for Europe and thence to China and 

 San Francisco. 



KATHLEEN.— An advertisement of this well-known 30-foot er 

 will be found on another page, as Mr. Whitlock has decided not 

 to race her this year. She has made an excellent record in each 

 of the two seasons that she has raced, and is still good enough to 

 add to them this year, as she has not yet been outbuilt. 



CASTANET.— We call attention to the advertisement on another 

 page of Messrs. Fay & Co. who have for sale the .59ft. keel yacht 

 Castanet and several other cruisers, also the 2M rater Trouble- 

 some, a fast boat that comes within the new 25ft. corrected length 

 class in New York. 



FORTUNA, schr.. will be towed from her winter berth at Bev- 

 erly to Boston in a short time, where her foremast will he replaced, 

 her headgear removed and a pole bowsprit shipped, and lead will 

 he added to her keel. 



SALADIN.— As usual, Mr. Fowiels the first afloat of Eastern 

 yachtsmen; his 30-footer Saladin was launched last week, and 

 will be cruising about in a short time under a trysail. 



No Notice Taken of Anonymoas Correspondents. 



C. D. S.— We have forwarded your letter to Von W. 

 W. B. J.— We do not know T. Gard aer as a gunmaker. 



P. W. G., Boston, Mass.— Pattie of Portland is not registered. 



D. W. R., Vanceborough, Me.— Consult our advertising columns- 

 F. B., Binghamton, N. Y.— We do not know. You had better 



advertise for one. 



F. J. B., Troy.— Copi's of the moose portrait are for sale stilL 

 and may be obtained by addressing Lucius L. Hubbard, Cam- 

 bridge, Mass. 



J. L. B.— It will be safe to use the powders so far as the material 

 of the gun is concerned, if you do not load too heavily and the 

 powder burns normally. 



R. M. S., Philadelphia.— Can you give me the address of builder 

 of portable houses convenient to the Adiroadacksf Ans. Norman 

 Barbour, 81 New street. New York, is agent for a portable house. 



Constant Reabeb.— In answering your question as to a trainer 

 residing within 100 miles of Chicago, we inadvertently omitted to 

 state that the Riversifie Breeding and Training Kennels, River- 

 side, Ind., are located 90 miles from Chicago. 



J. H. B., Punkapog.— Can yon tell me how it is possible to keep 

 prairie dogs out of a 'sheep pasture? Ans. We know of noway. 

 They can be kept down by trapping and shooting. Perhaps some 

 of our Western sheep herding readers can give J. H. B. points on 

 this. 



J. E. I., Carthage, Mo.— A makes a wager that a dog which had 

 lost an eye would be demerited on that account; B says not. Ans, 



A 18 right. Total blindness disqualifies, and the loss of an eye is 

 certainly a demerit, and under a proper judge will be scored ac- 

 cordingly. 



Beagle.— I see sonae beagle hounds advertised in your paper for 

 $5. Do you think they would be any good at that price? What is 

 a good beagle hound worth? Ans. 1. The breeding is good. 2. 

 All depends on breeding and training, anywhere from SIO to $50. 

 Of course a good bench winner will come much higher. 



J. H. Y. E. B., Cazenovia, N. Y.— I am the owner of two rough- 

 coated St. Bernards; bitch, Francesca (A. K. R. 3.017), and a dog 

 puppy, out of her by a dog called Prince, owned in Boston, said to 

 be a registered animal. I bought the bitch of an old lady's estate; 

 and would like to know how to have proper transfer made on A. 

 K. R. books, also how to register the puppy? Ans. The A. K. R. 

 was purchased by the American Kennel Club, and vour dog must 

 now be registered in their stud book. The fee is $1, and blanks 

 and all information can be obtained from A. P. Vredenburgh, 4i 

 Broadway, New York city. 



Pheasants, Syracuse, N. Y.— Where can I obtain colored plates 

 of the various kinds of pheasants. Where can Elliott's Mono- 

 graph of the Pheasant be obfained and at what price? Please 

 give me an idea of the nature of the work. Ans. This magriflci-nt 

 monograph was published in London by the author in 1873. The 

 subscription price was £37. 7. Only 150 cop-'es were printed and 

 all were sold. It can now only be obtained by chance. It brings now 

 in London £50. At the Ives sale last week a copy was sold for $190, 

 which was cheap. We have a little book called "Pheasant Keep- 

 ing for Amateurs," which has one colored and nine uncolored 

 plates. Price $1.50. 



Aebho, Webb, Me.— 1. Will you please tell me if any town in 

 any State has the right of eminent domain, as regards the 

 streams on private property in said town? 3. Can the State 

 specially legislate, giving towns the right to control the fishing on 

 streams belonging to private individuals? 3. If so, would the law 

 be constitutional? 4. Can the individual have any redress, pro- 

 vided the law is unconstitutional, if he has been fined in accordance 

 with such a law. Ans. 1. As to the right of eminent domain we ad- 

 vise you to consult a lawyer. 3. The State undoubtedly has the 

 power to give towns right to legislate respecting fishing in streams 

 belonging to private individuals, just as the Stato itself legislates 

 directly as to such waters. 3. The constitutionality of many of 

 our fish and game laws can be determined only by carry- 

 ing the test cases to the highest courts. 4. Yes, if he thinks it will 

 pay to fight it out in the courts.
