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. 



G. DE C— Will you kindly inform me the bpst way to enrich the 

 color of an Irish setter whose coat is extremely bad V Ans. If you 

 mean in color, we do not know but good grooming every day and 

 plenty of exercise will work wonders toward putting a glo.ss on. 



A. B. C, Washington, D. C— I have a setter bitch that has a bad 

 case of red mange, I have tried several mange tnixtares without 

 any beneficial results; can you recommpud any treatment for hei? 

 1 think that she needs internal treatment, with external appli- 

 cations combined. Ans. Take two tiu^rts of lard oil, half a pound 

 of black antimony, and half a pound of sulphur lac; mix and 

 apply well all over, kepping the dog in a warm place. After two 

 or three days wash off. 



H, R... Saginaw, Mich.— Please inform me through the columns 

 of your paper what is the matter with my two-year-old setter dog, 

 and give treatment for same. He is thin in flesh and his coat Is in 

 poor condition. He acts lively and healthy around the yard, and 

 has a wonderful appetite, but when taken afield he shows his 

 trouble. For the first two or three honrs he hunts well, but after 

 that he begins to slacken up his gait until be is unable to walk, 

 and then lies down refusing to follow. After resting fifteen or 

 twenty minutes he is again able to follow along slowly. After 

 this the spell comes on and he stands still, his bind parts gradually 

 sink to the ground. He has had this trouble for about live months. 

 His ravenous appetite made me think he had worms. I gave him 

 60 grs. areca nut on an empty stomach, but he only passed two 

 thin pinkish worms; they were about Sin. in length and poiated 

 at. both ends. Ans. Try again for worms. Give santonin© in two 

 grain doses in lard three times a day; after the third day give a 

 large tablespoonful of castor oil and report result. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In regard to the pistol competition, the members of the St. 

 Louis Pistol Club, while heartily in favor of the tournament 

 believe that the number of shots should not be le'^s than fifty. A 

 half dozen shots is no test of theaccuraey of a shooter, as most 

 any time good scores are accidpntally made when only a few 

 shots are had. The opinion is also expressed that the shooting 

 should be under cover, so as to have uniform conditions, and that 

 each party who proposes to enter the tournament should forward 

 hisname to Forest and Stream along with tho name of some 

 responsible party who is to act as referee for Iiis shooting and 

 make oath to his report. Only in this vvay, St. Louis pistol 

 shooters think, that sufficient safpguards can be thrown around 

 shooters to prevent a repetition of what has happened at previous 

 tournaments. Aberdeen. 



THE REES RIFLE. 



A FEW days ago an exhibition wi+h ball cartriges was given bv 

 the Kees Automatic Rifle invented by Frank Rpcs. In a word 

 the weapon is wound up much as a time p'ece with a large ooil- 

 main spring in the stock, and then with the weanon at tiie 

 shoulder, the shooter has hut to press and repress the trigger, to 

 have the magazine exhaust itself. The spt ed is ab-ut as rapid as 

 one can count aloud. The trial, wb'ch was with .41 calibre cart- 

 ridges, was a success so far as showing thp workint^ of a wonder- 

 fully rapid arm. In speaking of his invention, Mr. Rees said, 

 "The advantage possessed by this rifle over others now in the 

 market, is that it i-pquires no effort but a single pull of the trigger 

 to load and tire it and eject the empty shell; each successive pull 

 of the trigger repeating this complete operation. The loading, 

 firing, and ejecting of the empty shell is practically instanta- 

 neous, and so quickly done that the motion of the mechanism 

 cannot be seen or followed. 



The automatic action is obtained by simplv inserting a spring in 

 the breach of the gun and by ingenious mechanisms allowing the 

 spring to do the work usually performed by hand. This is a great 

 advantage, as it secures speed, safety, and accuracy; and prevents 

 car^less work under excitement. 



The gun has about the same number of parts as the Winchester 

 and other similar rifles, and it is estimated that with proper ma- 

 chinery it can be manufactured at about the same cost. 



A brief and simple outline of the action of the mechanism is as 

 follows: 



"The mainspring is wound by turning a crank arm about six 

 revolutions, and the gun is then ready to fire twenty-five shots 

 without further attention. 



"When the trigger is pulled, the mainspring is released, and with 

 its box revolves, the sp ockets on this tjox. engneing in a chain 

 belt, cause it to revolve thp sprockpt wheel, which wheel and 

 tumbler by its connecting Imk moves back and forwai-d the bolt- 

 with its extractor hooks. The carrier is made to revolve at the 

 instant thp bolt is drawn back and out of it, by the cog teeth on 

 the tumbler working on a pinion on the cariier fhaft. 



"A cartridge inserted in the magazicelis pressed back into the 

 lower chamber of the carrier, which carrier rt^volving one-half 

 turn, brings the cartridge up to the breech or harrel. the bolt then 

 coming forward, shoves the cartridtre into the barrel, when the 

 firing pin strikes and fires it; the bolt then being drav/n back, 

 draws out the empty shell by its extractor nooks, and the carrier 

 revolving throws out the empty shell. 



"The safety catch, which is the pressure of the thumb in starfing 

 the trigger, is a marked iniprovement on this rifle, rendering It 

 safe at all times, and experts have approved this j-pecial feature 

 of the invention as worthy of being applied lo almost any other 

 form of rifle or shot gun. The gun is also easily cleaned and with 

 no openings when not in use. It is finely bcilanced and with 

 scarcely a, perceptible kick or recoil." 



RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE REVOLVER CHAMPIONSHIP. 



OUGGESTIONS continue to flow in about the revolver test for 

 the determination of the amateur championship of this 

 country. It is not likely that there will be any material change 

 in the conditions of the match. With the distance at 20yds. and 

 a measurement target capable of gauging the dist ances of shots 

 down to the closest fraction there will be but little chance of ties, 

 and there will be opportunity for 1 he closest of holding. Again, 

 at this distance the medium line is struck between the indoor 

 and outdoor distance. It is a poor gallery indeed which cannot 

 give a range of 60ft., and at an open range with any but the 

 heaviest of arms it is a gamble against the weather in the scores 

 which may be made. By indoor shooting it will he possible to 

 have the trial tests and the final record scores all made under 

 exactly the same conditions, even though they should be shot at 

 various times and on differp nt galleries. It is not to be a test of 

 endurance, and it will be .just as satisfactory to have a result of 

 say ten or a dozen inches in the three selected targets of six shots 

 each out of the five scores fired as it would be to have a high 

 sounding total of 900 out of a possible 1,000. 



Dr. Pryor, who is Director of Shooting in the New York M.^n- 

 hattan Athletic Club, stands in the first rank of the amateur 

 revolver shots of the metropolis. He advises as follows: 

 Editor Forest and Stream: 



I offer the following suggestions as to the conditions of the 

 forthcoming revolver match for the championship of America. 

 Distance, SOrds.; number of shots, 60, in strings of 10 shots: 8in! 

 bullseye, American standard decimal target; the match to be shot 

 outdoors on a certain fixed day, and open to the amateur world, 

 as every other championship should be, and as most of them are; 

 the definition of amateur in connection with this match to be 

 made the same as that of amateur in billiards or amateur in shot- 

 gun competitions. The position should be strictly off-hand; the 

 arm used should be a revolver of not less than five chambers 

 length of barrel not greater than Sin., with open sights; any trig- 

 ger-pull, any weight of arm; any kind of ammunition; any 

 caliber. The object of the above conditions being to embrace the 

 kinds of arms most used in this country, and consequently the 

 conditions would appeal to most revolver shots as just. 



I take it that the competition will be held outdoors. If such is 

 the case, the distance at which it is shot should assuredly be 

 greater than the gallery distances. Again, what is the use of pre- 

 liminary trial? Why not have fixed days and ' advertise the 

 event under certain definite conditions, at^a certain known 

 target, and let all shooters intereeted come and compett? Poor 

 shots will keep away. 

 It you limit your shots to 6, or even 20, the endurance of ibe 

 i shooter iB not taxed in any way. I know that the men from the 



SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.— Although the weather was un- 

 favorable the attendance at Harbor View to-day was very 'arge 

 and the marksmen made up in enthusiasm for the lacking pleas- 

 antness of the weather. The atmosphere was very thick and 

 heavy, and as a oonseriuence the fmoke from the marksmen's 

 rifles lay low in the range, and often obscured the targets from 

 view. 



The winners of the first fourteen prizes in the priw shoot of the 

 Germanla did some good work and made very fine scores. It 

 often happened during f^e day that it was impossible to tell who 

 would be high, so close did the scores run. The names of tiie win- 

 ners are as follows: 



AStiecker 96 J Utsehig 91 CHeeth .....89 



FKuhnie 94 R Pinking 90 P O Young ...89 



D W McLaughliu..92 Dr IJotrpr.s . 90 Leo Klotz gg 



GHe'- 93 FAitinRer 89 Ed Hovey 88 



P Jb cojy 91 W Glindeman SO 



The members of the California Club werp. out in force for their 

 last shoot at Harbor View. In a few weeks they will throw open 

 their now park to the public and exp'-ct to show many fine scores, 

 as a result of the change. The contest to-rlay was a bullseye 

 shoot and all shots that were not placed within a circumference 

 of Sin. from the center were counted as misses. 



The California Club cadets were on hand and took part. in a 

 medal and bullseye slioot. The winners of medals for tho cadet 

 class were Gus Glindemann, with 398 ringr, and L. Reubold won 

 the second class medal, with 364 rings. 



The Turners' shmfing section brought out a large number of 

 men to compete for medals. Tho shooting was expellent and 

 many members scored more than 100 poims. The membfcra who, 

 by their good shooting, carried off the mi'dals, with the'r scores, 

 are as follows: Champion medal, George Helm, 426 rings; first 

 clasp, 11. Finking, 398; second class, L. Thierbach, 403: third class. 

 L. Bruner, 3.39. 



The contest for the champion medal of the Turners proved to be 

 one of the most exciting events which has taken place at the butts 

 for some time. Utsehig, Kuhnle and Helm pro>.spd each other 

 hard, and each went to work with the determination or coming 

 out winner. Soclos^did these marksmen keep to each other's 

 score that it could not be told until the last shot was tired who 

 would be the winner. George Helm provf^d to be the lufky man 

 with the good score of 433 rings, Jouii Utsehig scored 425 and F. 

 Kubnle 423. 



Many of the clubs bade a long farewell to Harbor View to-day. 

 In future all the clubs which have made Harbor View their mee't- 

 iug idace will shoot at the new park near San Rafael. 



NEWARK, N. J., March 16.— The Essex Amateur Rifle Club 

 wound up its tournament matches to-night by deleating the Oak- 

 lands, thus giving the Essex team the splendid record of sixteen 

 matches won and none lost. This gives the team first prize in the 

 tourn«ment, besides giving it the right to hold for one year the 

 handsome silver ice pitcner, know n as the "Our Own Trophy," 

 nresented to the United Amateur Rifle Associ'ition by the Our 

 Own Kiflp Club last season. The record of the Es^ex duplicates 

 last season's record of the Howard team in having a clean run of 

 victories, although the Howards had eleven clubs to contend 

 against, winning twenty-two consecutive matt hes. 



BOSTON, March 21.— The regular shoot of the Massachusetts 

 Rifle Association was held to-day in a mild northeast gale. The 

 scores:
