MEETING OF THE NATIONAL BEAGLE CLUB- 



Editor Forest Oil (1 Stream,: 



The execuiive committee of the National Beagle Clur) 

 held an adjonrned meeting at 2f36 Washington street, on 

 Thnrs-day, '.Imie I. The meetingwas called at 8 P.M.. 

 President Brookintr in tbe cbair. The roll call showed 

 Messrs. Berry and W. F. Rntter to he absent. After the 

 readiiit; of the minutes of the last meeting, •which were then 

 accepted, the report of Mr. P.iwer, chairman of the commit- 

 tee to incorporate, was heard and accepted. Communica- 

 tions from J. W. Sleffen, C. A. Stone. C. S. Wixom. H. L. 

 Kreuder and others were read and placed on file. 



It was voted that the N. B. C. donate a cash special of So 

 at the Toronto show to be held next Septembi r for the best 

 beagle in the show. It was also voted that ;i vote of thants 

 be sent to Mr. H. L. Krender of Nanuet, N. Y., for liis ex- 

 ceedingly generous and courteous letter to the club in re- 

 gard to the coining field trials, and that while the club has 

 not yet decided on a place, a copy of the foregoing resolution 

 be forwarded to him at once by the secretary. 



It was moved and carrred that it is the sense of this com-

 providing for dogs 13in. in height and under. Such class to 

 take the place of the 12iu. or ba.sket beagle class frequently 

 made at the leading bench shows, and that the above 

 change be voted f-^r aif the regular quarterly meeting of the 

 club in -Tnly. The object being to bring the classes at the 

 bench shows and field vrinls on an equal footing as regards 

 size. On motion of II. V. .Jainicson it was voted that the 

 secretary get proof of running rule, as ruvi-ed. printed and 

 brought before the next meeting for approval. Meeting 

 adjourned. ~F. W. CHArMAN, Sec'y.

ON NOTES AND NOTIONS.— Bd/for Forcf^tanel Stream: 

 Just one word for "Onlooker." vs'ho abuses me in claiming 

 that a money challenge is not the fairest way of .supporting 

 the alleged superiority of a dog. I agree with him it is not, 

 and as a poor man it is my last refuge, but it was Mr. Laid- 

 law, not I, who made the challenge. He offered to back his 

 dog Oban against Amazement for n)oney. I merely ac- 

 cepted his offer. "Onlooker," in a spirit of antagonism to 

 me and with misguided zeal, has probably slapped a friend 

 in the face. Let "Onlooker" read again Mr. Laidlaw's money 

 bluff in your issue of April 30, and he will wish he had not 

 made himself so ridiculous in a widely-circulated journal 

 like yours.— Geo. Bell (Toronto, Canada, June 8). 



THE GREYHOUND CHARLES DAVIS.— New York.— 

 Editor Forest and Strcaw:—! cannot refrain from referring 

 to the many letters received, as well as personal expressions 

 of sympathv, .since the publication in your columns of the 

 death of mv greyhound Charles Davis. I would especially 

 allude to theletterfrora Mr. A. W. Purbeck, of Salem, Ma.ss., 

 theownerof the famous champion greyhound Gem of theSea- 

 son. His kind words were emphasized by an offer of the free 

 services of Gem of the Season for my greyhound bitch Maud 

 Torrington, all of which illustrates the very kiniily senti- 

 ment existing between the owners and breeders of dogs.—

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



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. B C, Washington, D. C— Will you please inform me if there 

 is an Irish setter bitch registered under the name of Pequoit 

 Squaw? If so I would like to know her number and breeder. 

 Ans. She is not registered. 



D. J. J., Brooklyn, N. Y.— I made an agreement with a person 

 that for the service of my dog I should get the pick of the pups. 

 As the bitch onlv had one pup, is the owner of the dog or tbe 

 owner of the bitch entitled to the pup? Ans. As you are entitled 

 to first choice you ol course take the pup. 



Pointer, Danville. Pa.— I would like, to know the best method 

 of breaking a dog of "gun shyness." Ans. As you have just 

 bought Hammono's "Training vs. Breaking," we .ndvise you to 

 follow the instructions there given, which have proved successful 

 when tried, 



H. F. L.. Lake View, Mass.— Can you give me the pedigree of 

 bull-terrier Flip, resisteredin A.K.R.? Ans, Whtlped July 12, 

 1886. Breeder, F. F. Dole, New Haven, Conn. Sire, Count. Dam, 

 Nellie, hy Paddy ont of (4race. Count, by Marquis out of Kit, 

 by Prince. Marquis, by Taiqnin (Mark-Eyed Victor- Puss) out 

 of Jones's Puss. 



Please give pedigree of English setter bitch Starlight (A.K.C. 

 S.B. 12.272). Ans. Owner, W. Burd Patterson, WiUiainsporr. Pa. 

 Breeder, I. Yeardslev. Jr , Ooatesville, Pa. Whelpe.d Aug. 11. 18s8- 

 Sire, Rock, Jr.; dam. Dashing Kate, bv Dashing Lion out of Queen 

 Anne, by Carlowilz out of Queen Bess; Dasiiing Lion, by Dash 



II. out of Leda, by Dan out of Lill IL, by Dash II. out of Lill; Dan, 



by Duke out of Rhoehe. 



W. H., Chicago, 111. -Is there anv difference between the Great 

 Dane and German mastiff ? Ans. No. All the different names, 

 such as boarhound, Ulmer dog and Great Dans have been abol- 

 ished in Germany, the doz being known now as the German ma'^- 

 litr. and commniily called Great Dane in this country, lou wiU 

 find all the information you require about the breed in a mono- 

 graph published by the Great Dane Club, 505 Stock Exchange 

 Building, (I'hicago, 111. 



L. Van I)., Gloversville, N. Y.— I have a hound pup two montJis 

 old that seems feeble in front feet the last three or four days. He 

 is strong apart from that and eats good. I feed him lots of ^butter- 

 milk and some scraps. I have been told it is from letting him 

 run on the floor. His knees, after running around awhile, seem 

 to swell and he is then almost unable to crawl. Ans. It i.s a little 

 weakness in the pasterns, probably the pup is too fat and heavy 

 for his limbs. Give him a dessertspoonful of bone meal m his food 

 four or five times a week. You can procure the hone meal from 

 Spratts Co., 2i39 East Fifty-sixth street. New York city. 



A. R., Milwaukee, Wis.— If a pointer bilch should have a litter 

 of pnps by a fnU-blooded spaniel (flrst litter) and the nextlit1;er 

 by a pure-bred pointer, would tbe first litter contaminat« tbei 

 second, or, in other words, would tbe second litter be pure bred? 

 Ans. The bitch will be always likely to throw back, and one or 

 more pups may come in future litters marked with spnniel 

 characleristicB. At tbe same time we should consider pups from 

 her, by a pure-bred pointer, pure pointers. It is a very, nice 

 question, with the balance of the doubt in favor of (he pointer. 

 We should advise you to at once diown pups of subsequent litters 

 that show any signs of spaniel cross. 



E. .1. F.. Marksville, Va.— I have a very fine pointer dog, of pure 

 blood and magniflcent build, also a first-class worker in the field. 

 Will his pediiree. which I inclose herewith, entitle him to n placei 

 in the ^J7iericct?( Kemiel Rcoist.cr? Ans. The A nieriean Kennel 

 Bcgister was purchased some time since by the American Kennel 

 Club, and at present the only stud book is t.lie one issued by that 

 club. As your pointer's pedigreo on the dnm's side is wanting, 

 you cannot register it in the A. K. C. stud hook, ms a pedigree for 

 three generations ic required. Should your dog win two flrst 

 prizes in regular clasRes at shows recognized hy the A- K. C. he 

 can then be registered. 



J. L., New York City.— Could you please tell me what ails my 

 bull-terrier? Underneath the right eye the white hair is kept 

 continually red from the water that runs out from his eye occa- 

 sionally. Also his tail, the top of which has hardly any hair on it, 

 looks somewhat like the dead twig of a tree, but-, on tbe under part 

 it is thickly covered with hair. The tip of the tail is also visible 

 where it was clipped. The dog is house broken, and as I keex) him 

 in the house I cannot understand it. Ans, Feed the dog nourish- 

 ing foods; a tonic is also desirable. Drop in the eye every night a 

 drop or two of a weak solution of nitrate of silver, one part to 

 thirty of water. Rub the bare spots on tail with balsam of peru 



W. H. M., Ogden=burg, N. Y.— Please let me know the pedigree 

 of the fox-terriers Trap and Diamond Vic, owned in Hudson, N. 

 Y., about 1884. Ans. Trap, whelped Feb. 28, 1880. Breeder, W. H. 

 Oookson, Hudson, N. Y. Owner, Rev. F. M. Cookson, Glens Falls, 

 N.Y. Sire— Regent Vox, by Tackier out of Sand v Vic, he by 

 Tweezers (Tvrant IV.— Olive, out of Dandy, by (31d Fowhu') ont of

 Brockenhurat Joe out of Fashion. Dam— Nettle, hy Gamester

 tor ont of Vic, by Victor out of Flow. Dam— Gipsey, by Viper 

 (by Prince) ont of Vernon. 



Lurcher, Cambridge, Mass.— 1. Please dpscribe a lurcher. 2. 

 Are they necessarily bred from greyhounds and not from deer- 

 hounds? 3. Are there any in America? 4. Are they always hred 

 from the flrst cross in England, or are thev a separate breed? 5. 

 Would there be any difference if they were bred from a hob-tailed 

 sheepdog bitch and a deerhound dog, instead of from a deerhound 

 bitch and asheeiidog? G. Would it be safe to breed a collie bitch 

 to a deerhound twice her size? Ans. 1. A lurcher is a dog com- 

 monly used by poachers as they wil] run by scent as well as sight, 

 and what is more important are mute on the trail. They are as a 

 rule a cross between a collie and a greyhound. From the collie 

 they get the intelligence so needful and from the greyhound their 

 speed. 2. A lurcher should not be too large, hence a dferhound 

 cross is not advisable. 3 We do not know. 4. They are simply 

 mongrels and may be the result of two or three crosses, but the 

 collie and greyhound is the best and usual cross. 5. Not much, 

 but the latter cross will he better. 6. No. 



A. S , Philadelphia, Pa.— What is tbe trouhle with ray St. Ber- 

 nard bilch? She had her first litter of pups (only five) in March. 

 Just before she whelped I discovered she had worms and gave her 

 Glover's cure, two doses, following it by a homeopathic cure which 

 I have given off and on up to the present time. She only nursed 

 the pnps, which were unusually laree. five weeks She got very 

 thin, her hair came out with the lightest combing in hand fuls. 

 I discovered that she was covered with lic^. She was apparently 

 always hungry, hunting around for something to eat, but when 

 given a hone, meat or snything else that she can carry, she will 

 invariably bury it. I used Spratts soap and washed her daily till 

 the lice were all gore. She is stiU thin, low spirited and seems 

 tired and her hair still comes out. The pups are well and w^eigh 

 301bs. apiece. 3. What is tbe average weight of a St. Bernard pup 

 ten weeks old? Ans. Feed nourishing food, mutton broth, etc., 

 morning and nieht; give a desseilsooonful of cod liver oil either in 

 the food or by spoon. Her system i,s no doubt run down. In a 

 week or so you might try for worms, fasting the bitch for twenty-

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



REVOLVER SHOOTING IN ENGLAND. 



England, May 28.— The revolver shooting season has only just 

 opened in England owing lo the cold and wet spring, making the 

 open air ranges very uninviting. 



The best scores yet made at tfie English distance and target in 

 open air shooting (20yds., 3in. center to bulleeye, highest possible 

 scoie 42) are one of 41 and three of 40, aR made by Mr. Walter 

 Winans during the last few days, at the Sussex County Volunteer 

 Range, and a score of 30 made by Mr. C. F. Lowe, at tlie South 

 London Rifle Club range. 



At the disappearing and sliding targets there has been no prac- 

 tice as vet. , „ , , 



At the rapid firing (sis shots in twelve seconds at 30yds.) which 

 will be the novelty at the Bisley meeting this year, there has 

 heen very little practice, the best scores yet to hand were two of 

 28 points each, made in a high, gusty wind by Mr. Walter Winans 

 at the Sussex County Volunteer range yesterday morning; the 

 best of tbe two scores had all six shots in a 4]/ain. ring, making 

 the English "record" for this style of shooting, it was shot in the 

 presence of Mr. Short, the range custodian, but was not for any 

 competition, merely practice, so does not technically constilute a 

 record. 



BOSTON, June 6 — Tlie regular weekly shoot of the Massachu- 

 setts Rifle Association was held at its range to-day, with a good
