FOREST AND STREAM. 



[April 2, 1891. 



writes: "We have some fine dogs down in this neck of the 

 woods, not only in breeding but as fine lielders. There are 

 owned here sous and daughters of the followiTig sires and 

 dams: The pointers— Champion Grapnic, Triuljet's Bang, 

 Croxteth, Fowler and Metfor. In setters— Champion Glad- 

 stone. Bessie A., Gath's Mark and Count Noble. I have just 

 purchased a young dog which can show 4T^4 per cent. Dalse- 

 Rhosbe blood. In Irish setters have a brace by Dick 

 Swiveller and Elcbo, Jr. The Gordons arp represented by a 

 daughter of Beaumont and a son onfc of Becky Sharp. We 

 might at almost anytime bring together enough to form 

 quite a bench show, or get up a field trial at three hours' 

 notice. There is owned here a dog— a grandson of old Glad- 

 stone—who can beat anytning or everything in the dog line 

 west of the Mississippi. Yonr readers will laugh when thej- 

 peruse this, and 1 can hear them say, "If that is so, whv 

 don't you run him in the field trials and stop blowing?" 

 "Bring him out if he is such a ereat doR." "Why haven't 

 you done so before this, etc." I'll tell you why. He belongs 

 to a market-hunter, who puts in every day while the season

one he can be accommodated by running a three days' race 

 for a purse of .$500. Money and dog read'y at any time, field 

 trial rules to govern, We will either give or take expenses 

 and run on neutral grounds. Of conrse I understand thnt 

 the close .season is now on, but we can have the race just the 

 same, we need not kill any birds, which would necessarily 

 bar retrieving, and the dog we refer to is a very tender re 

 triever too. We would be glad to hear from any oue who 

 would like to make this $.500. We will not draw the line at 

 the Mississippi either, but will make it free for all. We pre- 

 fer the owners of Prince Lucifer^ Gath's Mark, Rowdv Rod, 

 Tjillie Burgess, Spotted Boy and Ossian to show their hands, 

 and an^ of the above can be accommodated for the amount 

 named." Now a gentleman well known in pointer circles 

 while chatting in our office lately spoke very feelingly on the 

 merits of a certain dog he owned, and wished to inake a 

 match. _ He refrained from issuing a challenge because the 

 field trials were over, but as the above looks genuine we 

 really think he has the opportunity now. 



The last day of a dog show is generallv a dull one, and 

 many schemes are devised to attract the public. At Pitts- 

 burgh Sir Bedivere was paraded on the stage during the 

 afternoon. Would it not be a good idea, when circumstances 

 will allow of a good view of the proceedings, to have the 

 specials, such as cups, medals, etc., arranged on a table and 

 then coax some lady, or in default of that, the president of 

 the club, to donate them to the lucky winners. The dogs 

 which have won them to be, of cottrse, brought up to the 

 table at the same time. 



GORDON SETTER CLUB MEETING. 



AT a meeting of the executive committee, of the Gordon 

 Setter Club of America, held March 38, at Dr. Glover's 

 office, the following busine.ss was transacted, a quorum 

 being present; Comiuunications from Grott Collins were 

 received and acted upon, and the telegram from Mr. H. 

 Malcolm to the .secretary, appealing to the club from the 

 decision of the committee, was moved to be accepted as such. 

 Dr. Mej'er read the following com Luunication signed by ten 

 members: To the president of the Gordon Setter Club of 

 America: Inamuch as Mr. Harry Malcolm has appealed to 

 the club from the decision of the committee, although not 

 in strict accordance with the constitution, the undersigned 

 members desire that said appeal be duly recognized accord- 

 ing to Sec. 11 of our by-laws. We therefore respectfully re- 

 quest you to issue a call for a general meeting of the club, 

 m accordance with Sec. S of otir by laws, to vote as to the 

 action of the committee. The president therefore ordered 

 the meeting to be called for Monday, Mav 4, at 7 P. M. It 

 was then resolved that H. Malcol m be noti fled at once by the 

 secretary to appear in person at the general meeting of this 

 club to be held at the office of the president, at 1293 Broad- 

 way, on that day, to state his exceptions to the action of the 

 committee in this case. On motion the secretary was in- 

 structed to draft a letter to the Stud Book committee in re- 

 lation to the tia>.< per cent, in GordoQ pedigrees and the 

 term black and tan setters, as per their request. The secre- 

 tary was also instructed to communicate with the Cleveland 

 Kennel Club, .stating that the club's finances do not warrant 

 any further money specials being offered this spring. It 

 was resolved, on motion of T)r. Meyer, that the club should 

 follow the lead of the Pointer and Setter Club, and suspend 

 the list of judges, allowing bench show committees to choose 

 their own. Mr. Blossom was elected a delegate to the A. K. 

 C, and Dr. Meyer was elected a Stud Book committee of 

 on?. The old committee on bench shows and field trials, 

 consisting of J. B. Blossom, Dr. Glover andL. A.VanZandt, 

 was re-elected. The following committee was also elected 

 to draft a new constitution and by-laws: J. B. Blossom, Dr. 

 Meyer and Dr. Lordly. Seven new members were elected. 

 The meeting then adjourned. 



CALIFORNIA NOTES.— The Occidental Coursing Club 

 finished its fourth year on the lOtn inst. The club has a 

 neat balance in the bank and will soon own its own coursing 

 park. The treasurer, S. L. Abbott. Jr , stated that during 

 the club's existence he had expended .?2,000 for fair sport. 

 The railroad company has agreed to give the club reduced 

 rates and to kssue coupon tickets, good for admission to the 

 park. By a unanimous vote of the club, it was decided to 

 strike out from the constitution the section which has 

 hitherto prevented pool selling and bookmaking at the 

 club's cotirsing meetings. After a vote of thanks was tend- 

 ered the retiring secTftary and treasurer, Messrs. Carroll and 

 Abbott, tlie following officers were elected: President, J. F. 

 Carroll; Vice-Presidents, T. J. O'Keefe, T. J. Cooney, E. J. 

 Healey of Petal u ma, and Thos. Hind, of Redwood City. 

 Treasurer, S. L, Abbott, Jr. Secretary, J. R Dickinson.

COLLIES NOT IMPROVING.-Orange, N. Y. -Editor 

 Forest and Sireum: The exhibit of collies at the late bench 

 show at Madison Square Garden, witti a few exceptions, was 

 not equal in qtirtlity to last year. It was evident that bret^ders 

 were not patronizing the best dogs, so the Chestnut Hill 

 Kennels have kindly consented to make a reduction of thirty 

 per cent from tbeir'reguiar siud dog fees to members of the 

 Collie Club. The object of this is twofold: to improve the 

 breed and to increase the membership of the club. It ought 

 to have the desired effect.— J= D. Shotwell, Sec'y, 



A DOG PROTECTIVE UNION.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream-: In your issue of Feb. 19 I notice a communication 

 from W. W. Bradley concerning a Dog Protective Union, 

 and would like to hear from him in regard to what move 

 has been made in this direction. I can add my testimony to 

 his regarding methods of the Associated Fanciers. I wrote 

 them inquiring for a pair of thoroughbred trained beagles 

 last June, and received a prompt reply describing just such 

 a pair as they thought 1 would want. They were recom- 

 mended as being fine hunters, the bitch particularly being 

 described as "hard to beat on rabbits." I sent them their 

 price, $45 for the pair, and in due course of tiate they came. 

 The dog [ found to measure l?in. in height. He was stiff in 

 the hindqttarters, which from careful examination proved to 

 be due to a bad case of fistula in ano. I tried them on rab 

 bits, putting the dog on a hot scent which he followed per- 

 haps two minutes and then gave it up. The bitch stayed 

 closely to heel and showed no desire to hunt. I wrote at 

 once to the As.sociated Fanciers, telling them the dogs were 

 not as represented, and received a reply telling to try them 

 again, and if they would not work they would make every- 

 thing satisfsctory. Several trials convinced me it was use- 

 less to continue, and I wrote them for satisfaction, receiving 

 an offer of another pair, express prepaid, which I considered 

 fair and accepted. They answered that they would ship an- 

 other pair soon. This was in November or JDecemher of la.st 

 year. I have not yet seen the other pair or heard from the 

 Associated Fanciers since. Mr. Bradley's experience has 

 convinced me that I shall never receive the consideration 

 from them that is my due. The dog has recently disau- 

 peared, and as I had another doa poisoned from a wolf bait 

 about the same time, I presume he has met the same fate. 

 The bitch 1 have now commenced to train, but it is uphill 

 work without a pack. She is doing well, and I think by next 

 season she will make an excellent trailer. A dog protecMve 

 union or some similar organization is certainly needed to 

 protect the public Irom such sharp, yes, criminal, practice. 

 I for one shall be glad to subscribe toward such an organiza- 

 tion.— C. P. HUBBAED^

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. 



B. D. T., Fairflel'k Maine.- I have a hound bitch that had a lit- 

 ter of paps on Dec 23. Will you pleasf tell me through your cor- 

 respondence coiumu when she will probably be in heat again? 

 Ans. About the beginning of nexi June. 



T. W. G. J.. Sorel.-My seller bitch after weaningpups had tears 

 considerably i^nl^ii-ged, and alth'-ngn remedies prescribed by local 

 veterin'-ry FnTijeoni have reduced indHmmauor, two teats still 

 remaiu distended beyond the u^um.! siz-and do not appear to get

 Pup' have been Wf aned nine days. Kindly .id vise. Ans. Ruo the 

 ti ats well two or thrte limes a day wiih camphorated oil. A pre- 

 pa'ation of burnt leather and viuegar is also a good thing, Onar 

 ti^e leather, pound into a powder and mis wlcn the vinegar. Try 

 the oil first, 



D. D. B., Blonmington, Ind.— My dog, prior to tbla trou We, bad

 the tumor is probably anabbc^-ss, ■■ischiorectal ahscse," and the

J. W. H„ Beverley. N. J.-My six months old setter puppy, ap-

 Kmdly suggest a remedy. Ans. Your pup has worms. Have 



an hour after give the Ouber half drachm: If in half an hour there 

 is nothicg passed, give a la-ge spnonful of castor oil and watch 

 results. For a week or so afterward feed soft foods, such, as 

 soups, etc. 



RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE REVOLVER CHAMPIONSHIP, 



TN our next issue we shall probably announce definitely the sim- 

 pie broad conditions which will govern the contests for the 

 Amateur Revolver Championship of America, and the competition 

 for the Winans trophy emblematic of that championship. The 

 comments from vaiious p'lrts ^.f the country all go to convince ua 

 that the conditions, as originally outlined, wiU git^e the widest 

 satisfaction, and they will foi-m the bas's of the requirements. 



There is a fear that with the whole country for a shonting 

 ground, possibly some irregularity in scores may result. The 

 large facilities of FoRt:sT and Stream will be amplysufficient to 

 prevent any such outcome. When the match was suggested by- 

 Mr. Winans we did not decline to conduct it, fearing the trifling 

 outlay which it would involve on our part. Where a point of ad- 

 vantage to sportsmen is to be met we consider it our duly not to 

 hold back and carp, but to step forward and carry the projnot 

 through. Several years agn there was much discussion anent 

 rifle trajectories, but an expenditure of over a thousand dollars 

 enabled w to gather a set of data which are now s'andnrd on that 

 point. AU manner of talk prevailed about the shotgun patterns 

 of to-day, but the establishment of onr testing ground at an ex- 

 pense of hundreds of dollars now enables the test of an arm to be 

 made promptly and with scientific accuracy. So it happens that 

 when the open question of a revolver championship is to be 

 answered by the revolver shots of America, it is onlv natural and 

 in accord with prf c^ dent that Foresi and Stream should act as 

 the reliable representative of the sportsmen of America. 



S.VN FRANCISCO. March 32.— The first regimont turned on' 

 strong to-day 'o compete for the Tohin trophv. Every company 

 in the regiment sent over a fall complement of 20 m-^n each to do 

 honor to t^e trophy presented to the rfgiment. The day was a 

 windy and blustery one at the range, and tue guardsmen had their 

 hands full 1" endeavoring to hold thfir r iaces on the bull -^eye. 

 Alt bongh it was conceded that Company O, who carried off the 

 trophy last year, would again bp wiuners. cvetv company m the 

 regiment did their u'most to come in second. Company ti won 

 tbfi honor of second place, and in addition made the highesi indi- 

 vidual score of th" dav. The honor of scoring the highest record 

 of the day belongs to F. O. Young, who made the excellent score 

 of 48 out of a pos'-ible 5U, The shooting was under the supervision 

 and dirpction of tlit» Inspector of Rifle Practice. Springfield 

 rifles, having 6lhs. pull, 200^ 'a, Teams to consist of twenty men 

 from each company. Tie Tobin trnnhv was presented to thcFirst 

 Regiment by the family of the late Col. Robert Tobi eO the Third 

 Regiment as a mark of gra'ii ude to that resrimfnt for the friend- 

 ship they had shown Col. Tohin. A trophy was also presumed by 

 the family to the Third Reginipnt, which was won by Co. Blast 

 month. These trophies ate c-'Titested for e^'pry year. The com- 

 panyin each of these i wo regiments makini? the highest score at 

 the butts ari- di-cbircd the winni-rs nf the year.

The winning company beat its good i-ecord of last year by 7 

 points. 



REVOLVER SHOOTING.-It is a peculiar fact that very few 

 men, even accomplishtd shots, know how a revolver ought to be 

 handled. Nearly all are taught to aim a revolver as if it were a 

 rifle, that is. by bringing the object "imed at and the fore and hind 

 sigblsmto line. Ti'isisaU well, nought r shooting ffalleiy piactice, 

 but should never bi- foUowrd in tlie field. In training troops to 

 u.-e the revolver the<^ are langht. in aiminu, never lolook at the 

 weapon at a'l, but to keen their eyt-s "ui the obj-ct which is to 

 be struck, lu qu'ck firing, and especi«lly in sho ting from horse- 

 back, much er results are oia inaole in tLis «ay. A man 

 ttaowing a stone doi-s not loot at his hand, neither does a billiard 

 plaver sight along hia cue. The Fame rules appiv to the use of 

 short f eapons. I hav^ sefn men tr-iined to shoot excellently at a 

 mai k when ih^-y l ouk) not see their nistcl sights at all. Pieces of 

 pa^txhcird v^ete fasten d juatin front ' f ihe cylindfr. which eff ct- 

 ually prevented ih^- men f r m using their foresights and greatly 

 increased Ihe rapidity, as well as tlie accuracy of their fire. 

 Nearly any one can sight a pistol correeilv, the inaccuracy of the 

 aim being due to tremblim.' of the hands before the trigger is 

 piessed. My hiding tlie sight the temp alion to hold toolongia 

 removed, and the first pim. geoerally the most aceuraie, is pre- 

 served.— Sf. Louis Globe- Democrat. 



BELLE\T:LLE, March 25.— Appended is a brief account nf the 

 winonpoi a vi ry interf sting series of rifle matches which were
