W. H.. Boston, Mass.— 1. Will vou kindly publish the pedigree 

 of St. Bernards Monastery (E. 3446) and Menthon (E. 3443). 2. 

 Can you tell me any treatment to improve the feet of a two-year- 

 old hound that is a little splav-foote'? Ans. 1. Le Moine (alias 

 MonHsterj) is said to trace back to Old Barry, won first prize at 

 Biiminsham in 1873, and his breeder was Mr. T. Skeale Hooper, 

 Pen-y-Park, Llantarvan, Newport, Monmouthshire. Meuthon was 

 imported from Switzerland by Rev. J. C. Mardona, but no pedi- 

 gree is given in the English stud book. 2. We know of nothing 

 that will improve the feet at that age. 



G. B. O., Bridgeport, Conn.— I have in my possession a black 

 grevhound called Ten Broek, raised at Mr J. W. Jester's place, 

 St. George's, Del. The former owner of this hound referred me to 

 your paper as authority for the dog's pedigree, which was repre- 

 sented to m« as bping registered. Could you furnish me with a 

 list of his recent lineage, provided the above statement be true, or 

 a denial if the former owner has misrepresented? Ans. Themis 

 a grevhound named Ten Broeck registered in A. K. C. S. B., Vol. 

 IV., No. 6 241. Whelped November, 1886, dark blue, by Don out of

J. G. D.. Chestnut Hill, Pa.— I have been trying to teach my 

 spaniels to retrieve dead birds, but they won't look at them, but 

 for a live bird they would go almost crazy, but when dead it has 

 no interest to them. They will fetch a ball or roll of soft stuff 

 very nicelv. What would you advise? I i.ave both Hammond's 

 book and nl^o Mercer's. Ans. You must force the dog to retrieve, 

 compelling him to take the bird in bis mouth and, with a cord at- 

 tached to his collar, compel it to bring the bird to you. Commence 

 •by making the dog pick it up from bis feet, and then further and 

 further away as he gains confidence, he will soon understand 

 what is required of him, especially as you say he will fetch other 

 articles.

 I get a correct h'story and more particulars of the dogs Old Druid, 

 Count Noble and Nell, and their descendants, and what will the 

 expense b ? 3. I suppose I have the only full bred bitch in this 

 section, and as she is from Ned Gladstone 11. 1 should judge she 

 ought to be crossed with some other good line. How is the Lav- 

 erack line? Ans. 1. There is no work that we know of wherein a 

 history of the dogs yon mention can be found. For a history of 

 the English setter we refer you to Ve.ro Shaw's "Book of the Dog." 

 price $8; ''The Setter," by Edward Laverack, price $2.75; The

J. H. M., Harrisburg, Pa.— I have a St. Bernard puppy 6 months 

 old that I wish you would please give me tome advice aDour. He 

 has sores on both ears, they bleed first, then start in as running 

 sores. Do you think it is mange or external canker? He has them 

 on his leg, but they are dry and bare and they don't seem to get 

 any worse or better. Will you please let me know what wiU cure 

 them, and if the hair will grow again? His eyes have matter in 

 every morning, and during the day. His appetite is good and he 

 Is lively otherwise. I am using Rlover's mange cure; have been 

 using it for two weeks; it dries the sore up, but if I let it go for a 

 few davs it starts to run again. Ans. Apply balsam of Peru to 

 sores. Treat for worms, and give the following powders: Sulphate 

 of magnesia 3 drachms, bi-carbonate ot potash 3 drachms; mix 

 and make 13 powders. Give one twice a day mixed with the food. 

 Write again if sores are not healed in a fortnight.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE REVOLVER AT BISLEY. 



AN AJIERICAN WtNS THE ENGLCSH HEVOLVGR OHAMPIONSHrP 

 WITH AMJEBICAN REVOLVER. 



The Bisley meeting is just over, and Mr. Walter Winans has 

 won first prize in all three revolver competitions, and conse- 

 quently the Smith & Wesson prize for the revolver aggregate 

 scores, which constiui'es the revolver championship of England 

 in effect though not in name. 



The first four days of the meeting Mr. Walter Winans shot in 

 series 3 (the target appearing and disuppearing at intervals of 

 three seconds). He made five scores of 40 points, and often retired 



FtRST Series— Score: 6 6 7 7 6 7—39. 



on scores wtiich would have got up to that score, but he was work- 

 ing for a 41 or 43 score, as he had so often been able to do at h's 

 own private range. He discovered though, that owing to its posi- 

 tion, exposed to wind and with the sun in the shooter's eyes all 

 the afternoon, a score of 40 was about equal to a 43 at his own 



f 



Second Series— Score: 7 6 7 6 7 7—40. 



range. He therefore let his 40 score stand for this series, and 

 started in series No. 3 (=ix shots in twelve seconds). He found 

 that Mr. C. P. Haig had bpen hard at work at this series, and got 

 in a score of 777674=.38 with a Colt. Everyone thoaaht this was 

 invincible, but Mr. Winans knew that the "4" was the weak point 



Third Series- Score: 5 6 7 7 7 7—39. 



in the score, and took a bet of five to one on himself that he would 

 beat the score of 38. 



He had very little practice at this sort of shooting at home so it 

 took him a few entries to get into the hang of it. As soon as he 

 got into the swing of nock and pull he made two 36 scores and 

 then the following: 567777—39, winning his bet and making a score 

 which nobody has approached since and which constitutes the 

 reobj-d for this style of shooting. Mr. Wtaans used a single action 



Smith & WesBon, cocked at the recoil after each shot In proper 

 cowboy style. Almost all the English competitors used either 

 both hands in cocking or else double action pistols. 



He then turned to series No. 1 (the sliding target); he found this 

 ran much faster than in former vears and that Mr. Haie had in a 

 score of 39, made up as follows. 777765. In a short time he put in a 

 similar 39 and then a "black" 39, that is all the shots in the black 

 (777666), inslend of one in the "5" ring, like Mr. Haig's, thus beat- 

 ing Mr. Haig's. All this took place early in the meeting and as 

 nobody else approached these scores Mr. Winans did not have to 

 compete any more in revolver during the rest of the meeting and 

 only shot for amusement occasionally. His winning scores are aa 

 follows: Series 1: 



Walter Winans C'black") 39 C F Haig 39 



Series 3: 



Walter Winans (5 times over),40 O F Haig 39 



Series 3: 



Walter Winans 39 OF Haig 38 



Revolver aggregate (championship of England): 

 Walter Winans ....39 40 39-118 O F Haig 39 39 38-116 



A friend of Mr. Winans tried all over the camp to get in a bet 

 of 3 to 5 on Mr. Winans's winning all the revolver competitions, 

 but could not get any one to bet at any price. 



Mr. Winans used a Smith & Wesson. Mr. Haig a Colt (botb 

 single-action pistols). The two English professionals were beaten 

 by these two amateurs. 



As Mr. Winans had finished with the revolver before the end of 

 the meeting he turned his attention to the running deer. He 

 made a score of 23 at the Holland prize for double shots at the 

 deer and of 18 for the Colt single rifle competition. 



After a few attempts he got in 24 for the double rifle competi- 

 tion with a double .4cal. by Purvey & Sons- He then started for 

 the Colt prize (using the same rifle, the rules allowing it to be 

 used if he used each barrel alternately) and made 18, tieing with 

 Hir E. Lodcr, who also used a double rifle in preference to a single 

 shot rifle, which proves that a good double ean shoot equal to 

 ordinary single-shot rifles. 



These scores held to the last hour of the meeting, when Major 

 Williamson put in 25 for the double-shot Holland prize, and 

 almost at the same time Sir E. Loder improved his score for the 

 Colt single rifle prize to 20. 



There was no time for Mr. Walter Winans to try to beat both 

 these scores, so he had to try for the double-shot Holland, but 

 only managed to makf another 24, and therefore he came in sec- 

 ond for each of the running deer prizes. 



Major Williamson shot standing. Sir E. Loder and Mr. Winans 

 sittinsf. Major Williamson and Walter Winans used open hunt- 

 ing signis. Sir E. Lorler a Lyman hind sight. 



July 20.— Early this morning Mr, Waltf-r Winans, whose eyes 

 w^-re better after the Sunday's rest, put in a 3« in revolv er series 

 3 (the rapid firing), the first shot Oeing a quarter of an inch above 

 the buUseve and the other five in it. This makes him lop score 

 for series 3 and 3 and tied with Mr. Ha'g in series I. Mr. Dixon, 

 the professional shot, made 38 in series 3, this being two points 

 heliind Mr, Winans's score. 



There was too much wind in the afternoon for high revolver 

 scores, 



ANOTHER TWENTY- YARD TARGET. 



Here is anothe*' record made by Mr. Winans with a Smith & 

 Wesson .48-cal. English regulation sights and l^lbs. trigger pull. 



British army ammunition, at 30.\ ds., the target disappearing and 

 appnaring at intervals of three seconds, the score being the high- 

 est possible, 7777777=49. 



SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-The range at Shell Mound was 

 well patronizefl to-day. The different companies composing the 

 National Guard feel recuperated after their encampment at Santa 

 CJtuz. »nd have settled down to work. The weather was all that 

 could be desired. A pleasant breeze prevailed for a greater por- 

 tion of the day. Some excellent pool shooting was d'ne by the 

 different competitors on the rnnge. Herman fleeth. of Company 

 B, of the Third Regiment, made an excellent rec rd. He scored 

 13 bullseyes in 15 shots, and 16 bullseyes in 20 -hots, or 96 per cent. 

 He shot a Springfield rifie. with a 6lbs. pull of trigger. 



The rifie shooting at Srhue'zen Park, San Rafael, was far 

 above the average, though some of the champions failed to keep 

 up their record. At the public target the Eintracht Shooting 

 Section did good work, a number of the members breaking their 

 records in rings. There was $200 to be divided in prizes, and the 

 competition was unusually close. The full score was as follows: 

 .John Utschig 95, A. Strtcher 9-5, Wra. Glinderman 95, A. Johnson 

 93, G. Helm 93, D. W. McLaughlin 90, R. Steden 90. A. Eahwyler 

 89. 0. A. Klein 88, Louis Schmidt 88. Chris Maver 88, C. Kuhls 88 

 H. Gumhel 86, J. Dombierer 85. A. Stamer 85, H. Schroder 85, 

 Philo Jacnby 84. John Stanton 84, L. "Parrere 84, R. Stetten 83, C. 

 Waletan 8.3, G. Glinderman 82, H. R. Brown 82. O. Overmole 79. 

 E. Hageruk 80. In the company shots the first ten prizes were 

 won in the following order; L. Stedine first. E. Aner second, H. 

 Stanen third. B. Brenner fourth, C- Kuhls fifth, H. Gumbel sixth, 

 Chris Gumbel seventh, E. Pauler eighth, E. Fisher ninth, M. Ges- 

 sen tenth. 



The bull'seye shoot of the California Schuetzen Club was the 

 closest of the dav, and probably of thesi-ason. About twpnty- 

 two men entered for the prizes, which were finally awarded to the 

 following named members: Louis Schmidt first, L. Letzau second, 

 H. Johnson third, M. Stanton fourth, Philo Jaooby fifth, E. Mc- 

 Laughlin sixth. Captain Kuhls seventh, Geo. Helm eighth. Geo. 

 Glindeman ninth, Wm. Glindeman tenth. 



The Germania Schuetzen Club was present at Harbor View to- 

 day for their monthly medal contest. The successful competitors 

 are as follows: Champion medal. A. Rahw^ler, 408 rings; first- 

 class medal, W. M. Glindeman, 377; second-class. L. Bendel. 391; 

 third-class, H. Cenge, 383; founh-class. P, Hilz, 368. The medal 

 for the first best shot was won by Charles Heeth, with 22 rings 

 out of a possible 25, and the medal for the la^t best shot by W. 

 Kuelber with 33 rings. 



REVOLVER IN DELAWARE.— Lieut. Col. Howard Simpson, 

 the Inspector for Delaware, has recently issued a very interesting 

 circular on the subject of small arm practice, not only dealing 

 with the rifle practice of the men, but also advising the officers to 

 take some trouble to make themselves efficient with the rt'volver. 

 This is the programme he outlines: Revolver practice, which will 

 necessarily be preparatory this year, should be directed toward 

 features which are conducive to the most practical utility, and 

 the following line of practice is advised; Standing position at all 

 distances; at 25,vds., use of each hand in alternate scores, double 

 action trigs-er puU; at 50yds., use of either hand, double action 

 trigger pull; at 100yds., use of both hands, single action trigger 

 pull. Target: that used for 200yds. rifle practice. 



EXCELSIOR RIFLE CLUB.-Jersey City, N. J., Aug. l.-The 

 first annual prize shoot of the Exrelsior Rifle Club will be held on 

 Aug. 31 and 22, at Greenville Schuetzon Park. Hours of shooting, 

 from 9 A.M. to 12 M. and 1 to 7 P.M. BuUseye target will close at 

 5 P.M on Saturday, Aug 22. Shooting Committee: L. P. Hansen, 

 first shooting master; Wm. Weber, second shooting master; J.
