mSPLRATION HAS DARK EYES.— Philadelphia, Pa.— 

 Editor ForeH and Stream: It is with much surprise that 

 I note in the report of Baltimore show, prepared by your 

 Mr. Lacy, in which he criticises my pointer dog as follows: 

 "Inspiration, second, has a fair head, though light in eye." 

 Now, stu'ely Mr. Tjacy has never seen my dog, when he states 

 that he has light eyes. No matter what other faults he may 

 hare, his worst enemy, if such a person exists, could not find 

 that fault with him.' On the contrary, he has particularly 

 fine large dark eyes, very brilliant and with much intelli- 

 gence in their expression. He has the dark eyes in keeping 

 with the dark nose, which he has inherited from his cele- 

 brated sire, champion Bang Bang. Errors like these are 

 peculiarly disheartening, and I, for one, think that the gen- 

 tlemen reporting the bench shows should exercise conscien- 

 tious care when they attempt to crit.ici.se a ma.u's dog, and 

 make sure that it "is the dog they are writing about.— 

 ]?RAIfCls G . Tay i-OR. [It is not our intention to do any inan's 

 dog an injustice, and as Mr. Mason's New York report cor- 

 roborates Mr. Taylor, we must apologize for an error which 

 must have been a .slip of the pen. as our notes in the cata- 

 logue make no mention of this dog having light eyes.l 



A FALSE nU MOPx,.— Editor Forest and Stream: A re- 

 port is in circulation to the effect that there area number of 

 sick dogs in and around Lynn. Whether this rumor is 

 started to injure the forthcoming show here or not I cannot 

 say, 'but so far as I know there is not a word of truth in it. 

 —Robert Leslie, President.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



There is no charge for answering questions under 

 this head; we are always glad to give advice on the 

 care and management of dogs; and we shall make 

 this a special feature. 



A. C. H.. So. Manistique, Mich.— What is (he best dog food in 

 use? The best soap for fleas, also best remedy for mangeV I want 

 to be prepared in case my St. Bernard shonld have the disease. 

 Ans. Those ad vertised in our kennel columns are all good. You 

 can take your choice with little to fear, 



J. S. H.— It is cerebral distemper, for which there is very little 

 remedy. He will very likely be dead before you see this, 



If you want a dog we do not know of any better way of trying to 

 get one at your own price than of sending a bid on those to be sold 

 at auction, March 24-28th, at the Tattersall, Philadelphia. You 

 can tell by the catalogue about the breeding, etc., and you can 

 send a bid by mail. If it exceeds your price, money will be re 

 turned to you. Catalogue can be bad by addressing Tattersall, 

 30th and Market streets, Philadelphia.— ..Idu. 



RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE REVOLVER CH AMPIONSHfP. 



The discussion and comment already provoked by our an- 

 nouncement that a formal fixing of the revolver championship 

 was to be carried out under the auspices of Forest and Stheam 

 for the possession of the trophy offered by iRLr. Y'alter Winans, 

 convince us that the affair is to be a success. Some of the minor 

 points are open to criticism perhaps, but that such a match should 

 be held and that it can be held wPh satisfaction to all con- 

 cerned seems to be assured beyond douht. There is no fear that 

 it is to be a repetition of the Tribune match with all its absurdly 

 perfect scores. At the start anybody may shoot and send in their 

 target to this office. Targets for ready measurement will be 

 furnished on application, and the scores properly authenticated 

 duly entered. This trial bout, so to speak, is open to all, but 

 before the troiihy is awarded there will be the finals, tired under 

 the direct or delegated supervision of the editor of Forest akd 

 Stream. As all the scores will be by shot measurement it is 

 really a matter of no moment what target the shooter may 

 practice on, and the scores as printed by us can at once be con- 

 verted into the scores of any target now in use. Anent the 

 matter of distance of which "Picus" speaks. It would be a hard- 

 ship to insist upon a greater distance than that suggested by us. 

 Twenty yards is the range at the outdoor shooting stand at 

 Y^mbledon and Bisley, and for indoor work it is not easy to find 

 a gallery with a tiOft. space for revolver work. In fact we were 

 strongly urged to make the distance 13yds. or the regular old- 

 time duelling distance of 12 paces or 36ft. The targets might be 

 more compact and the shots more nicely bunched, but with a 

 measurement target it is the easiest thing in the world to com- 

 pare the work at another range. 



FoHEST AND STREAM has invited discussion upon the subject of 

 conditions to govern shootin,? for Mr. Winans's trophy, which as I 

 understand It, is to be representative of the amateur champion, 

 ship of America. It goes without saying that Mr. Winans or his 

 representative Forest and Stream should have the privilege of 

 naming the conditions under which the trophy shall be shot for 

 and defended, and the conditions mentioned in the current num- 

 ber of Forest asd Stream (March 12) are certainly generous 

 enough to satisfy any one. But I thiuk that the championship of 

 the United States should not be won at a distance less than 50yds., 

 which is a range "within the capabilities of any revolver or 

 shooter likely to enter such a competition. 



It was decided in 1886 that 21yds. was too short a distance to 

 test skill, using the 8ia. bull, and the re.sult of using that target 

 and that distance was to show that "the possible \vould he secirred 

 so frequently as to make the sport uninteresting." 



Since that time revolver shooting has not declined and there 

 are, no doubt, a number of men capable of making a high score 

 at that distance upon the Standard American target. 



Y''ould it not be wise in instituting such a competition to agree 



upon a distance which should be a standard for other matches and 

 at the same time be fully up to the capabilities of the American 

 revolver, which ia still beyond the ability of the shooter in point 

 of accuracy. I agree fully with Forest and Stream in the con- 

 ditions that any revolver, any sight, any trigger pull and any am- 

 munition may be used. That is a comprehensive width of gener- 

 osity to be appreciated by those who en.ioy a certain weapon, sight 

 or trigger pull without knowing just why, and believe that the 

 ammunition loaded by themselves suits their shooting better than 

 the factory ammunition. 



Restrictions upon trigger pull are and always will be a mistake, 

 from the fact that no two men are exactly alike in muscular or 

 nervous conditions, and defects in trigger pull are to blame for 

 much poor shooting. Beyond a desire to see the range longer than 

 twenty yards, as a lover of revolver shooting and a possible com- 

 petitor, the conditions so far suggested are satisfactory. There is, 

 however, one question not yet touched upon fully. What is to be 

 the accepted deflnitioQ of amateur? PiCUS. 



The Canadian Militia Gazette, a popvilar organ of the active 

 force of the Dominion, speaks of the match: "The growing pop- 

 ularity of revolver shooting has led to the making of scores far 

 beyond what the weapon was thought capable of making. Minor 

 improvements in loading, etc., have brought the arm up to a point 

 of precision v/hicb should satisfy the most critical user. Thus 

 far the scores made have been without any very precise condi- 

 tions, and comparisons have been difficult to make. In order to 

 bring about a definite fixed championship record to determine 

 the amateur having the highest degree of credit as a shot. Forest 

 AND Stream has undertaken the conduct of a formal champion- 

 ship match. This is at the special request of Mr. \Yalter Winans, 

 whose position at the head of the line of English revolver shoot- 

 ers is well known. He will contribute as an emblem of the cham- 

 pionship one of his own artistic pieces of sculpture done in bronze, 

 and conditions will be made as open as possible and an opportu- 

 nity made for all to shoot, in what promises to be a match of more 

 than ordinary importance. While comparatively little attention 

 is given to the use of the revolver in Canada, last year showed 

 signs of an awakening of interest in practice with that arm." 



IMPORTING FIREARMS. 



Judge Laoombe, of the U. S. Circuit Court in New York, has 

 reversed the decision of the Port Appraisers in the Schoverling, 

 Daly & Gales ease. This firm, it will be recalled, imported some 

 gun stocks under alower rate of duty as "manufactures, of which 

 metal was a coinponent part." Another Itottse imported barrels 

 which would fit such stocks, and the appraisers clapped on the 

 full duty of sporting guns. The decision of the Court reads: 



"The question of intention does not enter into this case at all, 

 provided the importers have done no more than what under the 

 terms of the tariff they may do. Whether their object was to 

 make their goods more readily saleable in this way, or by this 

 particular method of importation to secure the entrance of goods 

 here at a lower rate of duty than they would otherwise have to 

 pav is wholly immateriHl, provided that what they have done is 

 within the terms of the tariff act. 



"Now, there is no evidence that these articles were ever 'as- 

 sembled' or brouarht together with the gun barrels on the other 

 side. There is no finding to that effect by the appraisers; and if 

 there were such a finding of fact I should he constrained to reverse 

 it because there is no evidence in the record to support it. I do 

 not by this mean to imply that that single fact would bo control- 

 ing of the case if it were here; it is enough to say that it is not 

 here. For all that appears, the gun stocks may have been bought 

 from one manufacturer and the gun barrels from another. They 

 came here under a provision of the tariff act which lays a duty 

 upon 'sporting breechloading shotguns,' and lays a separate and a 

 different duty upon the parts of which those sporting breechload- 

 ing shotguns are composed, as 'manufactures in whole or in part 

 of metal.' 



"It can be fairly assumed that Congress by that very terminol- 

 ogy meant to allow importers who choose to bring in fragmentR of 

 a combinaliou article by different shipments and then lo employ 

 domestic labor in putting them together to do so. Itmsyhave 

 been intended to induce importers lo employ to that extent the 

 labor of this country instead of having the articles combined 

 abroad. We cannot tell, of course, what operated upon the minds 

 of the framers of that particular passage of ihe act; we can only 

 deal with their language as they h five set it do\\'ii for ue. And 

 under that language it seems very clear that there is nothing in 

 this shipment except "gunstocks mounted,' articles which are 

 properly described in the tariff only by the phrase 'manufactirres 

 composed wholly or in part of metal,' and they should therefore 

 pay that duty and no other. The decision of the Board of Ap- 

 praisers is reversed." 



A NEW BULLET MOULD. 



THE Ideal Manufacturing Co., of New Haven, Conn., have just 

 put on the market an adjustable bullet mould. This is some- 

 thing that will he appreciated at once by those riflemen who pre- 

 fer to prepare their own ammunition. The cut shows the mould 

 open, and also a sectional view of the bullet which is cast with a 



cavity in the base. The 

 cavity is for the double 

 purpose of upsetting or 

 expanding the bullet and 

 furnishing a receptacle 

 for the. twist of the paper 

 patch. Thi!3 mould will 

 cast bullets of .32 caliber 

 ranging in weight from 

 laSers. to 200grs., and by a 

 little regulation of patch- 

 ing, as regards thethick- 

 ne.^B of the paper and the 

 temper of bullet, do good 

 work in tiie .33 caliber 

 Stevens, Maynard, Rem- 

 ington, and other rifles of 

 this caliber. Possessors of 

 the .;!2-20 Marlin and ,33 

 Colts lightning rifles will now be able to get a light-patched bullet 

 for target practice not ciimuing t he shell and aiailmg iremtbe 

 breech. With this mould bullets of great variety of lengths and 

 weights can bo made. An adjustable scr(!W passes through the 

 nut B, which moves t he cavity former E in or out, as is desired to 

 shorten or lengthen the bullet, and the check nut D is to fasten 

 and make the screw immovable and firm at the point desired. 

 The nut B is held in the mould by the screw A passing tnrough 

 the side of themould. This sr-rewhas a slight lateral movement, 

 and when the bullet is cast a light rap on the head of the screw A 

 will lift the bullet up out of the mould and release it from the 

 cavity former. The metal is poured into the mould at the point 

 of the'bullet, thus leaving the base solid and free from blow-boles 

 or hollow places- Further information will be furnished upon 

 application to the Ideal Manufacturing Co., of New Haven, Conn. 



NEW YORK CITY SCHUETZEN.-The Shooting committee

 35 per cent. The corps iias also given four medalf, and J. Schnei- 

 der a fifth one, which will be presented to the marksman making

 target; the red flag counting 8 points is the center ring. 25^§tn. in 

 diameter; the- blue ftag will be shown if the marksman hits the 

 next ring, 3'>iin. from the center ring and he will be credited 

 with 3 pointt.' the rest of the 121n. buUseye will count 1, a white 

 flag being shown.
