DOGS TO TREE PHEASANTS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Our principal sport here in the eai'ly game season ii? pheas- 

 ant shooting. These birds are found in great numbers in 

 the river bottoms, where the timber and 'lorush is so dense 

 you can s:c;< rcely see live feet ahead of yon at any time. We 

 only find the liirds after we hear them fly. and maikinp; the 

 direction in which they go by the sound, locate them on the 

 trees on which thty light, and shoot them with a. 33 rifiegeu- 

 erally. Now, what we need is an active, bria;ht dog, suffi- 

 ciently Ions iu le.e and strong enough to enaf)le him to jjet 

 over logs and throiigh the dense salal brush and fern (which 

 grows all over the ground as thick as the hair on the back 

 of a dog to the height of from 3 to -ift. under the trees) 

 rapidly. He must have a goo<l nose, and be easily taught to 

 follow the birds up when thev fly to tree or trees in which 

 they light, and then hark till the gunner comes up. One 

 can only locate the dog by sound. Now, if you can inform 

 us what kind of a thoroughbred or crossbred dog would be 

 best and most easily broken for this kind of work , and 

 where we can get them, you will confer a favor on many 

 readers here of the most excellent Fokest and Strkam.

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. 



P. D., Marion.- 1. What is the safest and surest manner to physic 

 a puppy of lOmos.? 3. Whirh are the best hunters, English, Irish 

 setters or pomter.-? 3. Do you know of any one in this State who 

 hoards dngs and field trains them? 4. What age should a puppy 

 be to comtbence held breaking? Ans. 1; GiA'e him a dessertspoor- 

 ful of syrup of buckthorn every other day for a w'eek. 3. Ail 

 depends on tbe country; for thick, rough couniiy, use a seller; tor 

 open work you will find tlie pointer a good worker. It is to a 

 El eat exient a matter of fancy and proper training. 3. Write to 

 lilberty Kennels, Hyattville, O. 4. About eight months, not 

 younger. 



S. L. W.. Pullman. III.— Some two or thif e weeks ago some e\il- 

 mindud person poisoned several dogs iu Wuid«or,_ Vt,, and my 

 water spaniel got a dose which nearly liilled him, N obrid\ knows 

 yvha-t the poison was. The dog was first taken with violent con- 



vulsions (he had three), and between these convulsions he vom- 

 ited freely. After the last spa^m a man gave him a mixture of 

 olive oil and white of egg, -which relieved him, and he gradually 

 recovered in a measure. Ever since be has seemed weak, and 

 drooling at intervals, wnth occasional hot nose. Appetite vari- 

 able. The dog is fom- years old this summer, and has never been 

 sick except with distemper, for which I treated him according 

 to directions in your columns, and be had alight attack. Ans. 

 Tbe dog no doubt needi toning up. A dessertspoonful of cod liver 

 oil every day in his food would perhaps put him all right. Thongn 

 not knowing the nature of the poison it Is difhculfc for us to pre- 

 scribe. F"eed on good nutritious foods. 



RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE REVOLVER CHAMPIONSHIP. 



'T^UE Winans Trophy, which is to be the emhlem of the American 

 Amateur Revolver Championship, is now on American terri- 

 tory. It came through L ucle Sam's Custom House a few daj^s ago 

 and is now in Ihe offlce of Forest and Stream. It is a spirited 

 bit of work in silver brouz«i, and gives a cowboy in all his trap- 

 pings and regalia, with revolver "bead on" to some unseen victim' 

 while the title '"Hands up!" tells the whole story. When a cut 

 has been made, all our readers will be enahled to judge of the 

 artistic beauty of the very appropriate gift whicli Mr. Winans has 

 so generously placed at the disposal of his American brothers of 

 the trigger. 



In using the targets Are one shot each in order at the targets 

 from 1 to 6. This will make just one round, and by keeping each 

 shot separate there wiU be no possible dispute as to the cutting 

 out of one shot hole by a subsequent shot. In this way, too, it 

 will be possible to do more accurate scoring than by a confused 

 mass of shots on one paper. 



These target sheets have been prepared in quantity, and may be 

 had on application either personally or by mail to this office. A 

 good drill for any one intending to make a record in this match, 

 or for any revolver shooter for that matter, would be to use old 

 postal cards or bits of card board clipped to that size. When 

 shot after shot can be placed at 20yds. on the card, then the man 

 and his arm are in good condition for line scoring. Until that 

 degree of pmliciency is reached there is need of improvement, 

 either in holding or perhaps the arm is not capable of meeting the 

 demands made upon it. In either case it is well to know .iust 

 where the trouble lies, in order to correct the evil. 



From the demand already made for targets and the inquiries 

 made about the conditions of the match there is every prospect 

 that the competition will he sharp and severe, with a fine record 

 as the winning score. We are convinced that the arms now on 

 the market, the regular output from several factories, are fully 

 capable of giving a record of oin. in 6 shots, string measure. So it 

 merely remains for the marksman to make his skill meet the ac- 

 curacy of the arm. and that is merely a matter of intelligent 

 practice and study of the minor points of loading, sighting, etc. 

 Does any one want a proper weapon for the purpose, just consult 

 the advertising columns of Fohest and Stream and you will 

 see the very best makes duly heralded.

THE TRAP. 



REVOLVER SHOOTING IN ENGLAND. 



ONDON, England.— Editor Forf St and Stream: Before the year 

 . I 18S5 there was no revolver shooting of any account done in 

 England, 'here being no clubs for that purijose and the English 

 National Rifle Association not giving any prizes for that arm, so 

 there was no inducement for men to practice. 



In the year 1885 the English National Rifle Association gave a 

 series of prizes for revolvers at their annual meeting at Wimble- 

 don, but they were so afraid of accidenis that it was confined to 

 officers of the army. The scores made were very poor, the top one 

 being 34 out of a possible 30, on a Sin. buUseye (counting fl), at 

 20yds. 



Tbe next year, 1886. the scores were still very poor, 35 points 

 winning the first prize. An American. Mr. Walter Winans, was 

 allowed, as a favor, to shoot a few shots, but not for competition, 

 as the prizes were still confined to English oflficers. In this year 

 several revolver clubs were started in London, the principarone 

 being in cennection with Ihe South London Rifle Club; at this 

 club Mr. W^alter Winans won the championship for the year with 

 a score of 64 ont of a possible 72, at a 3in. ballseve, at 25yds. (whirh 

 still stands as the English revolver record at this distance), and 

 took the gold jewel of the club (using a Colt's revolver) Both he 

 and jSIr C. F. Lowe beat the scores (at 20yds.) made at Wimbledcn 

 by the officers, so they would most likely have won first and sec- 

 ond pris^es there if they had been allowed to compete. 



lu liiS7 for the first time the revolver competition at Wimbledon 

 was thrown open to others than officers, as members of the 

 English National Rifle Association were allowed to compete. As 

 Mr. Walter Winans is a member he was allowed to shoot. 



The target and rules were dififerent this year. The targets con- 

 sisted of the head and shoulders of a miniature man cut out 

 of a wood boaid. with abuUseye 4x5in. marked in the center in 

 outline. The prizes were divided into two series, one at targets 

 moving across tbe line of fire (very slowly), and the second at a 

 target rising and disappearing at intervals of five seconds. Dis- 

 tance as usual 20yds. 



As may be imagined there was no difficulty in making highe<^t 

 possibles at these for any one who could shoot worth s cent (espe- 

 cially as after a few shots at the disappearing target the partition 

 behind it got marked with the bullet holes so lhat competitors 

 could aim at a spot on it and fire when the target appeared be- 

 tween them and it). Mr. Walter Winans made a highest possible 

 score at both targets, dividing the prizes with several otheis who 

 also made highest possibles (the rules not permitting shooting oft' 

 ties. 



There was also a prize given by Kynoch, the maker of a patent 

 revolver, lor the best score made by a pistol of his make at the 

 sliding target. Mr. Walter Winans won it with a score of 2'i out 

 of a possible 34 (the next competitor being two points behind), 

 which is the ta' St-on-record score to this date with this make of 

 revolver. In 1B88, at Wimbledon, in the two revolver series the 

 buUseye was reduced to 3in. (counting 6 points) on a circular 

 target divided into rings, and the di-^appearing target came up at 

 intervals of rhree seconds (which is its speed to the present date). 

 Mr, Walter Winans' possible scores, using a .SScal. Smith and 

 Wesson, gallery ammtmition (the rides said "any ammunition" 

 and Mr, Winans submitted his cartridges and had them p<issed 

 before competing). He also won every competition he shot for at 

 the South Loudo > Rifle Club that year (two shoots a week all the 

 summer), and the championship and gold medal of the club with 

 the same revolver. 



In 1889 the Wimbledon target was altered by having a 2in. ring 

 made in the Sin. bullseye (counting 7), and i-evolvers had to be not 

 less than .45-cal. and to take tbe English service ammunition. 

 Mr. Walter Winans won both prizes again, the disappearing one" 

 with a Smith & Wesson altered to take the English ammunition 

 (making a scoie witliin one point of the highest possihh ), which 

 is the record score up to date; and winning the other with a Colt 

 (which ho used to show that he would shoot with any goed make 

 of revolver, a competitor having declared that it was the revolver 

 and not the shooter that won). This score was 40 out of a possible 

 42, and is the rt- cord for that style of sbooting. 



He also won the revolver championship of the South London 

 Rifle 01 nb and all its competitions (some dozen) he shot in, tising 

 a Colt revolver. 



lu 1889 the English Natirnal Rifle Association removed to their 

 present shooting ground at Bisley. 



The revolver prizes were the same conditions as the year before. 

 Mr. ('. Haig. a very fine English shot, won both with a Colt re- 

 volver, mating 39 points in both (Mr. Walter Wanans, thotigh 

 present, was not permitted by his doctor to shoot, having only 

 just recovered from a severe attack of typhoid fever) Mr. Haig 

 is the gentleman who came next to Mr. Winans in 1887 and ISbS.
