 to the advertisement of the Glenmore Kennels in our busi- 

 ness colTirons. O. A. has trained Irish setter for sale; R. G.

The fast-running greyhound bitch Why Not, the property 

 of Mr. Fitzsimtoons, of Toronto, was found in her kennel at 

 a late hour July 2i with the cords of her hindlee;s cut close 

 to the feet. It is supposed that this has been done by the 

 same persons who poisoned White Wines. Of course," this 

 fast greyhound is incapacitated from running again.

Alvino Alaniz, a Mexican ranchman of Eio Grande City, 

 Tex., has undergone a fearful experience that will probablv 

 cost bis life. He was riding after cattle two days ago, and 

 camped at night by a little creek that ran through a tangled 

 niesquite. He tethered the horse, cooked his supper, and 

 was squitted by the fire smoking the inevitable cigarette, 

 when a mad coyote sprang upon Mm from the dark. The 

 little beast, with every hair standing on an end and jaws 

 drooping foam, struck" him full in the face and fastened its 

 teeth in his nose. The attack bore Alaniz backward, and he 

 sprawled at full length. He endeavored to defend himself 

 with bis hands, but to no avail. The coyote snapped his teeth 

 through the skin in a half dozen places and the face of the 

 man was covered with blood. As he struggled to his feet, 

 frenzied with terror, his assailant disappeared. The ranch- 

 man reached Rio Grande City next morning and was treated, 

 but is extremely prostrated and will probably die of hydro- 

 phobia. Mad wolves and coj^otes are by no means tincom- 

 mon. Three years ago G. C. Chamberlain, a son-in-law of 

 the millionaire ranchman, Richard King, was attacked 

 while on horseback by a mad wolf. He went to Paris as 

 fast as steam could take him, was treated by Pasteur, and 

 has not suffered any inconvenience. — St. Louis Glohe-

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. 



F. S. P., New Bedford. Mass.— Can you tell me to whom to write 

 to inquire about a breed of dogs called the great Danes? Ans. W. 

 E. Hagana, secretary of the Grear Dane Clnh of America, 505 

 Stuck Exe.baoge Building, Chicago, 111. 



S, C. W., Brooklyn, N. Y.-One of my dog8, a bull-terrier, has a 

 great many warts upon his lower lip. Will you please tell me 

 DO w to get rid of them? Ans. Remove them with a pair of scis- 

 sors. If you do not care to do this, apply with the end of a match 

 glacial acetic acid every other day till they disappear. 



H. C. C— My terrier has a sore about the size of a quarter on 

 the Inside of ear. There is a small hole in the middle of the ear 

 which matters a little, and this forms a scab round it. I have 

 tried several things to heal it ur. but cannot do it. It does not 

 spread at all, hut just will not heal up. Is there no remedy for it ? 

 Ans. Apply a little of following ointment twice a day: Green 

 iodide of mercury, 3 grains; vaseline, 1 drachm. Also put a cap on 

 the dog, so as to fix the ear and prevent the dog shaking it. 



Canine.— My setter pup,8mos. old, acts very peculiar when I 

 set his feed before him. He will eat a mouthful and then turn 

 away from it and look as if he would like some more, hut dare not 

 touch it. He will attempt to eat and then go and sit down. 

 Sometimes he has vomited after the first mouthful a yellowish, 

 slimy looking matter. After a little while and when coaxed he 

 will begin to eat and seems all right after. What is the trouble? 

 Ans. Examine mouth and see if all the teeth are sound. Treat 

 for worms and then give the following mixture: Bicarbonate of 

 potash, Idr,: compound tinct. of gentian, 3drs.; water, 6oz. Give 

 one tablespoooful tliree t'mes a day. 



W. L. P., Vicksburg, Miss.— I have lost several valuable pointer 

 dogs from disease. All showed the same symptoms. Consider- 

 able slobbering, with guma and tongue much inflamed, the latter 

 around the edge, which toward the last stage extends into the 

 throat. The dog becomes unable to lap water, and eats with 

 great difficulty, and in four or five days dies. I think there was 

 no swelling of the body. What is the disease and what is the 

 remedy ? Ans. From your description it looks as if the dogs had 

 licked some irritant, which set up inflammation of the gums, 

 tongue and throat. Bathe the gums and tongue frequently with 

 the following solution: Boracic acid, 4 drachms; water, 10 ounces. 

 Feed the dogs with white of raw eggs beaten up with milk and a 

 little scraped raw meat. 



RuTHEBFOED.— I have lately been presented with a pointer 

 bitch called Dell, and I am going to trouble you for her pedigree 

 if she has any. She was bred in W^yoming, find is said to he of 

 Sensation stock. As the bitch is a gift, and I don't wish to look 

 too far down her throat, I will be obliged if you will give me su' h 

 information as you can. She was formerly the property of a Mr. 

 Jarvis, who has had her on his farm at Brentwood. L. I., for a 

 year or more. As she comes very nearly up to the pointer stand- 

 ard, I will be obliged for any information that you can give me as 

 to her ancestors. Ans. We are afraid we cannot help you, as this 

 Dell is not registered in either atud book. There is a Dell in A. 

 K.R. (1533), hut this is bv Croxteth out of Trinket, and was bred 

 by Mr. Sterling, of St. Louis, Mo. 



A RE.4DEn.— 1. Please inform me of the best way to break an 

 old dog. 1 have a pointer about 4 years old, and he will break and 

 chase dogs of all kinds. I have whipped him and it does no good, 

 and I have shot him with No. 10 shot and he pays no attention to 

 it. What had I better do? 3. What .amount of shot should a 

 16-gaugB gun put in a 30in. circle at lOvd^., No. 8 shot? and which 

 is bestl3orl6 gauge for trap and field? Ans. 1. When you go 

 out with liim you must attach a cord to his collar, better have an 

 improved spike collar in his case, and when he attempi.s to break 

 shot, pull him down. This is the only way you can manage him, 

 but we are doubtful of success at his age and especially when you 

 have already resorted to such severe measures. 3. A Remington 

 16-gauge gun in the Forest and Stbbam tests gave an average 

 at 40yds. of 373 pellets out of 489 in the SRlected SOin. circle with 

 Schultze powder; at 60yds. the average was 101 pellets. The figures 

 for black powder were, in 367 pellets, 335 at 40 and 100 at 60yds. It 

 is bettei as yet to use the 13-gauge gun. 



L. W. M., Oswego, N. Y.— We have a cocker spaniel 14mos. old. 

 When 6mos, old he had a sliglit attack of mange, and this spring 

 was very siclc with fits. Now he seems perfectly well with the 

 exception of constant scratching which he keeps up all day. His 

 skin looks all right, but is rather dry. We feed him lightly on 

 bread and milk with an occasional bone; no eweets. The local 

 veterinary surgeon can discover nothing the matter with him. 

 Can you tell me what is the matter with bim and suggest a 

 remedy for the scratching, which bids fair to leave him a '•linir- 

 lessdog." Ans. Apply the following dressing all over the dog 

 every other day for a fortnight, then wash off: Best kerosene,! 

 pint, best cotton-seed oil 3 pints. Treat for worms and then give 

 this mixture; 



Sulphate of magnesia 4 drs 



Bicarbonate of soda — IJ^drs. 



Liquor sodte arseniatis.. l dr. 



Water add to 6 oz. 



Give one tablespoonful twice a day and allow two or thi-ee 

 ounces of meat daily. 



RANGE AND GALLERY. 



ENGLISH REVOLVER NEWS. 



BiSLEY. July 18.— The revolver shooting for the first week has 

 ended, but of course there may be many changes in the leading 

 scores before the end is reached next Friday. The top scores, at 

 present are: 

 Series 1, sliding target: 



Walter Winans (Smith & Wesson) 39 



CF Haig (Colt) 39 



Serie8|3, disappearing target: 

 ' ■ Win ■ ■ " 



Walter W inans (Smith & Wesson) 40 



CF Haig (Colt) 39 



Mr. AVinans has made 40 on live different occasions this week in 

 this competition. 

 Serie- 3, rapid-firing: 



C F Haig (Colt) ,38 



Walter Winans (Smith & Wesson) 8G 36 



Smith & W^esson aggregate prize for best scores in above com- 

 petitions: 



C F Haig 39 39 38—116 



Walter Winans 39 40 36-115 



Mr. Walter Winans has a bet nf 5 to 1 on himself that he beats 

 Mr. Haig's 38 score in series 3 during the coming week. (Mr. 

 Winans to-day made a good enough group for a 43 if it had been 

 half an inch higher. 



Plunkye prize, restricted to English officers: Major Williamson 

 and another 37 and 35. 



For all prizes the fight will begin in earnest next week, as the 

 range was strange to most of the competitors and there is no 

 shelter from the wind, which makes high scoring very diffl cult; 

 but after Suoday's rest they will come fresher. Mr. Walter 

 Winans is suffering rather in his right eye from burnt powder 

 blowing into it, but hopes to have it well enotigh to begin shoot- 

 ing on Monday or next Tuesday. 



A curious blunder has crept into the programme book for the 

 Irish Rifle Association prize meeting just published. la the two 

 revolver series ( me restricted to Colt's revolvers and the other to 

 Webley's revolvers) the conditions say: 



"Mi'-iimum bore .4l0cal , ammunition, government, marks I., II. 

 and III. only allowed." 



Now, "mark I." is 453al., "mark II." is .455cal. and "mark III." 

 is.457oal. It will be interesting to see competitors shooting this 

 ammunition out of .44cal. pistols. 



BiSLEY, July 25.— The following are the full details of revolver 

 prize winners and scores: 



REVOLTER— FIRST SERIES. 



Six shots at a target about 30yds. disance, and moving across

BEVOLVEB AGGBBG.4TE. 



A Smith & Wesson engraved gold-plated .38cal. target revolver, 

 pearl stock, to the highest scores in the above three competitions, 

 Gonstituling the revolver championship of England: 



Walter Winans 39 40 89—118 



CEHaig 39 39 38-116 



Dudley Wilson (professiona ) 33 38 35—106 



Major McKerrell 34 36 3.5—105 



Breton 32 36 33-101 



Although there were thousands of entries for the different re- 

 volver series, there were only twelve entries for this aggregate, 

 and only four of them got scores in all three series. Mr. Wilson, 

 the professional, was unfortunate in not entering in time, so 

 could not compete, but, as seen above, his scores would not have 

 won even if he had. 



All the competitions at the revolver range ended at 1:15 on July 

 24. The presentation of prizes took place on the afternoon of the 

 same day before a large audience, but. while many of the rifle 

 shots went up for their prizes, the revolver shots were unable to 

 attend, as they had an important meeting sitting at the time in 

 Mr. Walter Winans's cottage in the camp, to decide on a memo- 

 rial to the council of the National Rifle Association asking for 

 certain alterations at the revolver range for next year. 



As these competitors had no opportunity to meet all together 

 except just at tnat day and hour (as they live some in Ireland, 

 some in England and Scotland, etc.), they had to be excused being 

 present at the prize distrihutiou. The following resolutions were 

 agreed to unanimously except for one dissentant in one or two 

 cases: 



1. Agreed that the revolver 30rds. target should have a 3in. in- 

 stead of a Sin. buUseye, also that this 3in. should not have any 

 subdivision, as these latter give advantages to "fluking" shots, 

 also that the value of the buUseye should not be Indicated by a 

 figure printed in white in it, as that spoils the blackness of the 

 bullseye. 



3. That the rings round the bullseye should be "hair lines," in- 

 visible from firing point, and that these lines should be very close 

 to the bullseye for the first lines and gradually get further on the 

 principle of the American pistol target, not at regular intervals 

 hijethe English target. 



Every one agreed to this except one, who said that he did not 

 approve of imitating America, but that Bisley ought to keep to its 

 own way of scoring. 



3. 'f hat there should be more target accommodation and that 

 "pool shooters" should be put by themselves so as not to imertere 

 with tbo serious competitors. 



4. That there should be competitions at EOyds. at a 6-in. bulls- 

 eye. 



5. That revolvei-s should be divided into two classes, military 

 and "any revolver," and competitions given for each. 



0. That military revolvers should not have "bead" front sights 

 or movable sights, but real practical bolster sights was proposed 

 by Major MacKerrell and Walter Winans, but voted against by 

 all the rest. 



7. "Any" revolver to be allowed any ammunition. Caliber, 

 sight.'), V eight and length of barrel was agreed to unanimously, 

 but most thought that the trigger pull should be the same as for 

 military revolvers, viz , 41b8., so that competitors who shoot both 

 classes of revolvers should not be confused by two sorts of trigger 

 P'jH. 



The meeting was greatly in favor of a lOOyds. range for pistol, 

 as tbrough the kindness of the Association they had been allowed 

 to try a few shots at that distnuce and found they could do good 

 shooting; but they thought 50yds. would be far enough for the 

 next few years till the poorer shots had been educated up to long 

 distance shooting. 



The revolver competitions have been such a success, and the 

 Council of the N. R. A. being so obliging when they know that the 

 bulk of competitors desire anything, it is likely most of these re- 

 quests will be complied with. 



WAT,TEB WIN.iNS ON THE BAKGE. 



A reporter of the 5i(j!St-.r Daily iVetos had a chat with the leader 

 of the English revolver field, and in the issue of July 25 says: 

 The first item of discussion was his position at the present
