FOREST AND STREAM. 



[June 25, 1891- 



gate, Sandall obtained miue host's co-operation. The word 

 went round that a show of Yorkshires was to be held, with 

 liberal prizes, and the chance of good sales. Accordingly, 

 on the good Sunday evening thei-e were gathered nearly two- 

 scoi'e dogs, from which the req^uired number were selected, 

 and at a cost, inclusive of prizes and expenses, not more 

 than had been asked for one specimen before. This much 

 for the wit of one man." 



We hear that all Mr. Heywood Lonsdale's setters and 

 pointers will be sold at Aldridge's in July. Several com- 

 missions have, we believe, gone over from this country and 

 Canada. 



At the Leeds show it would seem as if the black and tan 

 terrier Beaconsfield had met his Waterloo, From advices 

 we have seen it would show that English judges are apt to 

 make mistakes as well as the benighted Americans. At 

 Leeds he met champion Pear-l, Derby Bess, Broomfield 

 Empress and Prince Regent, which were placed in the order 

 named. He was, however, not noticed in the money, only 

 getting he. The Field says: "The black and tan terriers 

 are all well known. Hei-e Beaconsfield, who should have 

 won, met ignominious defeat; he was the best in the class." 

 "Sirius," in Canine World, "He may have gone off a little, 

 but his type cannot be ignored, and the decision was as un- 

 accountable as it was capricioiis." Prince Regent is de.s- 

 cribed in Stocli-Keeper as a nice-colored dog, wanting 

 time. He was second in the novice class. In a letter 

 which we have seen the writer expressed his opinion that 

 Beaconsfield had nothing to go against except Derby 

 Bess and ought to have won. The same letter says that 

 George Thomas and Joe Lewis were told by Mr. Ashley, the 

 judge, that he was verj^ sorry about it and he really could 

 not explain it, but he missed seeing the dog (Beaconsfield) 

 or he would have won. 



At last we have heard something of Messrs. Boggs, Rutter 

 and Lewis, who certainly since they left this country have 

 followed out the injunction not to let their left hand know 

 what the right is doing. They have now purchased from 

 Mr. Edwin Powel, Jr., of Shrewsbury, several fox-terriers. 

 They are Divver 111., winner of many prizes and cups: Row- 

 ton Flirt (Rowton Drake— Desir^e)", in whelp to Rowton 

 Warrant (Venio — Sentence), and a promising young bitch 

 in Rowton Safety (Stipendiary— Hatfleld Pansy). This in- 

 formation we learn from a marked copy of Stoek-Kceper, 

 kindly sent to us by Mr. Boggs. The basset Rowton Wags 

 was also purchased. 



Spaniel men in this country will be interested in the news 

 of the death of a dog that cer'tai nly to a great extent founded 

 the excellent strain of cockers in this counti-y, and as a ,«ire 

 and prize winner exceeded all other.s the world over. We 

 reler to Mr. Farrow's champion Obo. .He was twelve 

 years old when he died. His first show was in 1880 at the 

 Crystal Pdlace, and his last the Jubilee show in 1887. As an 

 instance of his merit as a show dog he once beat all classes 

 as the best dog in the show^ at Newmarket. He was inval n- 

 able to his owner, Mr. Farrow, in the stud, as he was the 

 sire of prize winners without number. Lilly Obo, shown at 

 the Agricultural Hall shosv with others Iroin his kennel, is 

 said to be the most typical cocker ever shown. In speaking 

 of this dog's death siock-Kee2)cr says: ''We are often being 

 told of the grand cockers seen at American exhibitions, and 

 we wish bo take nothing from our friends across the water, 

 bub the fact remains that champion Obo is sire and grand- 

 sire of half of their prominent winners; indeed if we go 

 carefully through the list of American winning cockers 

 during the past seven years, certainly 7-5 per cent, of them 

 belong to this strain." Mr. Fareow would never part with 

 the dog, and we are told that an enterprising American 

 when he found he could not purchase him, oflrered $525 for 

 the free use of him for two years and insure him. It would 

 be interesting to know who this was. To show what perse- 

 verance will accomplish, it is said that from eight weeks old 

 to about seven months he was subject to one fit after an- 

 other, but strange to say after that age he never had a day's 

 sickness. He was whelped June 14, 1879, and was bred by 

 Mr. Farrow, who also bred his .«sire and dam. 



IRISH AND CORDON SETTER FIELD TRIALS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



1 desire to call the attention of every one interested in 

 Irish or Gordon setters and field trials to the fact that the 

 clubs interested in the above breeds have just about decided 

 to hold their trials in Norcu Car'olina, and on ground where 

 birds are known to be plenty. 



Judges who c-inaot possibly be .said to be prejudiced in 

 favor of one breed or another will be employed, the rules 

 will be those that have been evolved from years of trial by 

 the large clubs, and in every way the Irish and Gordon Set- 

 ter Field Trials of '9L will he a practical way of demonstrat- 

 ing where the best of these breeds are. It can hardly he 

 expected, though, that a few men, deeply Interested in the 

 success of the trials though they are. will put their hands 

 in their pockets and provide the purse to compete for. Those 

 who intend to run dogs and ot hers who may not run any. 

 but who want to help make the trials a success, should 

 either join oae of the clubs or contribute something (say $5 

 to $23) tosvard the purse. Unless they do, the stakes will 

 ii JO ue worth running for. Now is the time to put the shoul- 

 dtr lo tde wheel: get your entry to work, especially if it is a 

 Derby candidatej and send -?5 toward the trials to Dr. Davis, 

 treasurer Irish Setter Club, Philadelphia, Pa., or to L. A. 

 Van Zandt, treasurer Gordon Setter Club, Yonkers, N. Y. 



If after all the talk there has been from all quarters about 

 "unprejudiced jurges," "our own grounds," "Irish setter 

 trials for Irish setters, judged by Irish setter men," etc., 

 etc., there is not a practical demonstration this year* the 

 owners, breeders and boomer.^ of these dogs had better keep 

 quiet. Come, gentlemen, ante up. L. A. VAN Zandt.

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. 



G. W, H„ New Y'ork City.— Will you please inform me where I 

 can find parties who take dogs to board and train? Ans. Consuli 

 our advertising columns. 



New Man, Albany, N. Y. — Will you please inform me how 

 many people have died in this country in the last ten years fiom 

 hydrophobia? Ans. We do not know. 



A. W. G., Boston, Mass.— I have a fine pointer dog, by Beppo III. 

 out of mv Sal. This Joe is between 3 and 1 years old. He nss :i 

 fine appetite, eats dog bread or scraps, but is almost always sick 

 at his stomach after eating, throwing up a portion of his food. 

 He has a good deal of exercise and looks well, but baa tbi.^ 

 annoying habit. Can anything be done to cure him of tldsdisease? 

 Ans. Give the dog the prescription given in answer to R. A, A. J. 

 in this issue. 



T. G., Vineland, N. J.— Will you be kind enough to refer me to 

 som« pers'-n who deals in dogs or who sells tbem on commission 

 1 hat I could probably get to dispose in this manner some St. Bei- 

 nard dogs, both grown dogs and puppies. I wish to show them 

 for sale (or have them offered) in New York city, but know noth- 

 ing personally of the reputation of the various dealers there. 

 Ans. Your question will be answered by mail, Yuu had better 

 advertise in this paper. 



J. H.. New York.— How many persons have died in the United 

 States of hydrophobia in the last ten years? 3. How many have 

 dii d in England in tenvears from the same cause?. 3. A has a 

 valuable dog who bites B. having never before bitten anybody, 

 can B collect damages? and can B make A kill the dog? Ans. 1 

 and 3. We do not know. 3. No. In the State of New York it has 

 been ruled that every dog is allowed one bite, and in any case 

 there must be a warrant from a court before A can be compelled 

 to kill the dog. 



F. R. G., Laconia, N. H.— What shall I do for a pointer dog, two 

 years old, that is somewhat deaf? I think it may be the effect of 

 distemper. He is not totally deaf, but have to speak louder than 

 to other Aogf. Is obedient when he hears and a very promising 

 (Jos'. Ans. There is little hope of any cure, and without an ex- 

 amination we can hardly prescribe. Keep the dog's system up by 

 nourishing food and provide a kennelfree from draughts. Syringe 

 the ears carefully with warm water and then examine for signs of 

 inflammation, and let us know the result. 



M. O., Annapolis, Ind. — Will you kindly inform me how the 

 name Laverack is spelled or applied to strain of setter dogs, aud 

 whence the appellation? Also whether the red Irish setter is 

 considered the best or favorite dog for hunting purposes. Ans. 

 The name is Laverack, and is derived from the fact that an 

 Englishman named Edward Laverack originated the modern 

 strain of English setters, which was named after him. Irish 

 setters are not thought by the majority of sportsmen to be so 

 amenable to training as either English setters or pointers, owing 

 to their headstrong disposition. Of course there are exceptions, 

 and did they receive as much atteotion at the hands of sportsmen 

 and trainers a.s the more popular breeds, they would no doubt do 

 equally as well in the field. As it is at pre.=ent the breeds men- 

 tioned are the h» st. 



W. D. W., St. Louis Mo. — 1. I have a great Dane dog 16 months 

 old, imported from England last winter. What kind of food 

 would you consider best for him in this warm climate? Would 

 you recommend Spratts dog biscuits? 2. Can you also inform me 

 vV'Ji'ere I could get a copy of Dalziel's work on "British Dogs"? 

 Ans. 1. Y^ou will find either of the different kinds of dog biscuits 

 advertised in our columns an oxcellent and handy food. Feed 

 dfjf if tba dog will GSkt tUeoi, Ifnot, soak theii^ hy pomnnsr bot 



ton broth, in which vegetables should be boiled, and add rice or 

 stale bread. Avoid oatmeal and cornmeal in summer. 3. Dal- 

 ziel's "British Dogs" is out of print, hut is now being republished 

 by him in moraographs, the collie, fox terrier, St. Bernard and 

 greyhounds are the breeds treated on so far. For an all-round 

 book on dogs we can recommend Vero Shaw's "Book of the Dog." 

 Price $8. We can supply it. 



B. A. A. J., Ottawa, Canada.— I should be exceedingly obliged 

 if you would tell me of something that will set my black field 

 spaniel dog to rights again. He is about a year old. Had dis- 

 temper very badly about New Years, and has been more or less 

 sickly ever since. He was in apparently good cordition until a 

 week ago, when he went off his feed almost altogether, and what 

 little he does eat he vomits almost immediately. He is also very 

 costive. He will often stand for several minutes at a time, while 

 his v.hole body will be of a continuous tremor. At such times he 

 very often becomes very red and bloodshot about the eyes. Some- 

 times he has a very bloated appearance about the stomach and 

 loins. Any advice as to how 1 should proceed in the case will be 

 thankfully received. Ans. His stomach is deranged and indiges- 

 tion indicated. Give a teaspoonful of calcined magnesia in milk. 

 Then feed simple and easily digested foods. • Raw^ beef, chopped 

 fine, and raw eggs mixed together. Feed a little at a time, and aa 

 he begins to retain the food feed bread and milk, also broths in 

 which rice a,nd stale bread should be soaked. Feed often and 

 a very little at once, then gradually get down to three and then 

 two meals a day. Also give this preparation:

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



TWO TARGETS. 



BY a mistake this diagram was printed last week as of one made 

 by Mr. Walter Winans. It is a diagram of a target made by a 



14 year-old sharpshooter, of Brewer. Me., with a Stevens' .22cal. rifle, 

 at 12yds.. off hand, la consecutive shots. The target made by Mr. 

 vv inans is given below, and we reprint the letter from our last issue: 



Editor Fore.i!t and Stream: 



This morning the first '-highest possible" of the season was made 

 at the regulation Sin. center at 20yds. (government ammunition and 

 trigger pull), it was shot by Mr. Walter Winans with a Smil^h & 

 Wesson 45cal. revolver at the Sussex County Volunteer Rifle Range, 

 which was kindly put at his disposal by Col. Tamplin, the command- 

 ing ofiicer. It was shot before Mr. Short, the range superintendent, 

 who marked and kept the score. Mr. Winans shot on after making 

 the rise shot, putting on three more sevens, this makes, with two 

 .shots he fired just before, a score of 69 out of a possible 70 for 10 

 shots, the best on record 10-shot score for an amateur (the late Ira 

 Paine having made a highest possible 10 shot score, the writer be- 

 lieves, In 1S89) in England. 



The enclosed diagram shows the shots, those with a cross being the 

 shots fired before and after the rise shot "highest possible.'' The 

 f u'l score stood 69. S. 



Brighton, May 30. 



BOSTON, June 20.— A few members of the Massachusetts Rifle 

 Association visited the range tc-day. Next Saturday all the 

 record matches will close and the following Saturday a new list 

 of matches will he put on. Following are to-day's .scores, distance

THE ST. LOUIS SCHUETZENFEST.— The money receipts of 

 the Schuetzenfest were S7.298, $3,000 more than taken in at the 

 shoot a vear aero. Some idea of the shooting donfi may be had 

 from the fact of there being nearly 180,000 shots flred during the 

 tournament. The winners of the tournament were declared as 

 follows: King target medal, L. Scheigkoffer, St. Louis, who made 

 113 out of 135 points. The S300 prize on union target was won by 

 Martin Kacer making 68 points out of 73. Henry Stockman, of 

 Omaha took the $150 prize. He made 68, but his shots were not so 

 near the center as Kacer's. Dr. M. T. Tibbitts, of Highland, HI., 

 took the third prize .S135 on 65 points. Mat Gendler, of Cincinnati 

 took $100 making 65 points. On the stich target, J. Montgomery, 

 of Cincinnati took lirst prize §60 making three centres in 3 shots. 

 A. Rendeger, of Baljvnlle. HI, won 8.3(). P. Jiendi, of St, Louis took
