ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

 There is no charge for answering questions under 

 this head; we are always glad to g-ive advice on the 

 care and management of dogs: and we shall make 

 this a special feature. 



R. H. C.— Answered by mail. 



O. F. McQ., Amsterdam, N Y.— 'Will you please give me through 

 your columns the pedigree of M". Thos. Mafher's English setter 

 d g Dan, winner in the puppy class of W. K. C. st.ow of 1884 or 

 1885? Ans. The dog won second in the puppy class, but no pedi- 

 gree is given in the catalngne. 



C. M. B., Chicago, 111.— Have you auj' books on beagle houude'/ 

 I want to know all about them, their raising or breeding, training 

 and best breeds, etc. An«. Th«re is no book devoted especially to 

 be^iglps, b'lt you will fl^<l very good ar'icles on the brepd both in 

 Vero Show's "Book of the Dog" and Shield's "American Book of 

 the Dog," both of which we can supply you with. Price $8 and 

 $5 respectively. 



F. H. G., A^sonia, Conn.— W^ill you kindly send mo the pedigree 

 of B^b Gates? Can you also inform me how the dog camp to be 

 named Bob Gates? My father raised dogs not many years ago. 

 and I always have wanted to know if the name catne from our 

 wa^ or how it started. Ads. Bob (ilates. by Count Rapier ont of 

 Belle of H tchie. whelped April. 18S4. Breeder, Dr. Cannon, Som- 

 prvi'lp, Tenn. It is more than likely that the dog was called afti r 

 Mr. Gates, who was a partner in the Memphis & Avent Kennels, 

 Hickory Valley, Tenn. 



H. McF., New York Ci^v.— Acting on your prescription as given 

 on patre 441 m IsFue of June 18. the canker in mv pup's ear is about 

 well, but she still shows want of condittru, as coat is still stary. 

 and he has thrown up his breakfast quite often recently. Blood 

 evidently out of order, as 1 notice a few small eruptions about tbe 

 nosp. Ads. Better try a bottle of Glover's blood puriflpr. ad iress 

 1293 Broadway, New York city. The coat will come all right in 

 t'nie. and give a teaspoonful of calcined magnesia in milk. Rub 

 a little balsam of Peru on the sores. 



F. C. M., Philadelphia, Pa.— Please send me a cure for canker 

 in the ear of a colHe drg. Ans. Cleanse the ear of any matter 

 that may have accumulated by syringing with tepid wafer in 

 which rub a little oastile soap. Then dry carefully with a sol' 

 cloth and dr'p in tbe ear morning and night a little of the follow- 

 ing mixture-: Goulard's extract of lead loz , glycerine and car- 

 Violie acid }4 'Z. (of the strength of ODP par ^ carbolic acid to five 

 parts pure glycerine). a,nd finest olive oil ^}4o7.. Shake well before 

 using and knead the roots of th>' ear well so that tbe mixt,ure 

 will reach every part. Rub a btile on the ear flap if inilamed. 



T.iC, Rome, N. V.— I have a fine red Irish setter dog no' quite 

 two years old. He has had an attack of distemtier, fr im 

 which he has rpcoyered, except that the disease has Ipft h'm witt' 

 chorea. His appef-te is good, and h^is in fairly good flesh. Symp- 

 toms: A twitching of the extremities, with restless sleep and 

 occasionally a fit at Ion : perio-ls. Tbese symotoms have con- 

 tinued for somp time. Ans. Takesulphate of zinc. 24grs,; extract 

 of gentian, ISgrs.: powdered gum acacia, 18grs.; make into 12 

 pills and give one pill twice a day. Feed thp dog on good nourish- 

 ing food and beep in dry quarter'". You must have patience, as 

 the cure of chorea is a matter of time; 



H. H. P., New York City.— Please diagnose and prpscribe for 

 the following case: Spaniel puppy, five months old. has an erup- 

 tion on muzzle, neck, belly and inside of legs. It appears in 

 small, round nodules, which are hard to the touch and feel I'ke 

 split peas or shot, remaining this way for a few diys then thev 

 break and exude a rhin serous pus. The puppy seems liealthy and 

 lively and is in very good flesh, but his con-<tant scratching worries 

 hira. I have u'itd Glover's mango cure and soap (which I swear 

 bA ), but they do not lit Ihi case. Ans. Worms may cause this 

 eruption. U=e one of the vermifuges advertised in our business 

 columns. Also apply a little balsam of Peru to the sores. 



St. Behnard, Ogdensburg, N. Y.— I have a St. Bernard which 

 is troubled with mange, 1 think the result of injudicious feeding, 

 he has been fed almost entirely on meat and will eat nothing else. 

 He has large sores on back and fresh ones are breaking out on his 

 leg. I have stopped feeding with meat, fprcing him to eat bread 

 and milk and corn m^al, have been treating sores with Glover's 

 mangp remedy and dosing him with mild ap 'rients. Kindly tell 

 me what else is necessary to brintr him back to condition and 

 atop ihe sores breaking ont? Ans. Continue treatment but avoid 

 corn meal, it is too heating this time of the year. Give plenty ol 

 exercise. Give him also some of Glover's blood purifier. 



L. C. C Four Mile, N. Y.— I. Will you please give the open 

 season in this State for grou'^e. woodcock, rabbit, squirrel, etc.? 

 2. I wish to register my dog, shall 1 send oedigree to you? 3. 

 Within the past four days my dog's head has been covered with 

 hard pimples about the size of No. 2 shot. They are mostly on 

 top of his head. There seems to be a sort of scab on them. The 

 dog is a lemon and white pointer. Can you tell me what It is 

 from this meager description? Ans. 1. Grouse, Sept. 1 to Jan. 1; 

 woodcock. Sept. 1. to Jan. 1; rabbits, Nov. 1 to Feb. 1; squirrel. 

 Aug. I to Feb. 1. 3. No. Inclose pedigree and one dollar to A. P. 

 Vredenburgh, 44 Broadway, New York city, for registration in 

 the American Kennel Club stud book 3. Eczema, very likely; 

 fellow the directions given in the article on eczema in our issue 

 of June 18.

THE BISLEY MEETING. 



London, July 13~The Rifle Association opened its annual 

 meeiing at Bisloy to-day. A marked dfcrpasn in attendance is 

 noticeable since tbe meetings were transferred from Wimbledon. 

 The Canadians won a match against Cambridge to-day by 38 

 points. 



Jidy Jy.— The sensation of the Bisley meeting has been the target 

 shooting of a lady. This competition is open to all comers, and 

 so afforded tbe lady in question an opportunity to show her skill. 

 To-day's shooting was for the G^raphic rapid flring competition, 7 

 shots at SOOyds, in two minutes, with one sighting. The heroine 

 of the occasion was Miss Leale, of Guernsey, who is a member of 

 the National Riflo Association and of the Guernsey Shoot'ng 

 Club. Miss Leale is a charming sp'^cimen of English young 

 womanhood, tall, graceful and decidedly pretty. With her "sight- 

 ing shot she scored a bullseye, and then, loading and unloading 

 with great rapidity, she sent 7 shots down the range in the re- 

 markable good time of 1 minute 35^5 seconds. The target, was 

 then lowered, and wfipn tho announcement went uo iliat the 

 pretty young markswoman had made two buUseyes, two inners 

 and three magpie.=, a loud cheer went up as the reward of her 

 skill and as a mark of appreciation on tho part of the delighted 

 spectators. Miss Leale is not the winner of the prize, but her 

 good score carries her high up on the list. At oOOyds. 7 shots. 

 Miss Leale adopted the prone posture. Her sighting shot, made 

 in order to judge what allowance should be made for the wind, 

 counted 4. Miss Leale's first shot toward the aggregate was a 

 bullseye. This was quickly followed by two o'hers. Miss Leale 

 then made a magpie and an outer, finishing her score with two 

 bullseyes, making a total score of 33 out of a possible .35. The 

 Canadian team is doing some good shooting in tbe first stage of 

 the Queen's Cup contest. Although the Canadians have not se- 

 ctired thp topmost places thev are well up in the list, as the fol- 

 lowing scores shov^ ; Lieut. Davis has 83 points to his credit, Pvt.

 Sprgt. Armstrong 81, Pvt. Kambeig 81, Sergt. McVittle 80, and

 derson won =-615. Davidson also won the Corporaiion cup and

PHILADELPHIA. July 18.— One of the most interesting, 

 closely-contested and pxciliiig rifle matches that has been shot 

 for many years was the match this afternoon on the Point Breeze 

 Meadows, near the B. & O Station, just across from ihe Point 

 Breeze Gas Works, bet" ten Capt, William Kirshuer and Mr. 

 James Stocks. Captain Kirshner is an American, and is a mem- 

 ber of Post 5, G. A. R. Mr. Stocks is an Englishman, and shoots 

 with tenacious exact nesa. The day was most uupropitious for 

 rifle shooting; both con+pstants sufftred from tbe soaking rain. 

 The conditi 'US w« re lOOj ds. range, .50 shots per man, standard 

 American targets. Capt. Kirshner shot a .iocal. military jifle, 

 while Mr. Stocks haudlpd a .40caL sporting Winchester. Capt. 

 Kirshner shot very evenly throughout, his weakest round being 

 the third, whpn he only scored 82. while his lowest "fieiure" was in 

 the closing round, when a drop of rain obscured his glasHes, at d a. 

 5 was the resulr. Mr Stocks was somewhat rati led in the first 

 round and made the only clean miss of the day, while the round 

 closed for the exceedingly low total of 48:
