 against anything he can. 1 find nothing the inalterooly an oifen- 

 Bive smell. Please answer bv mail. Ans. If the eyelashes are 

 turned in the watering of the eyes can be only cured by an opera- 

 tion. Apply the following lotion to the eyes three or four times 

 a dav with a piece of sponge: Sulphate of zinc 1 scruple, tinct. of 

 opium 2dr., water 6oz. The shaking of the Khead is due to canker 

 of the ear?. Pour a little of the following lotion into the ears

 Idr., almond oil loz., and cleanse ears before using lotion 



R. H. P., New York.— Six months ago my 21.^-year-old pointer 

 dog had some acute gastric trouble which nae left him with 

 chronic indigestion. His appetite is capricious, he coughs occa- 

 Bionally, and at times has tendency to nausea. It I take him out 

 and exercise him on game, these symptoms are much more marked 

 tlie following day, when his appetite is almost entirely absent. I 

 have been feeding him sparingly on drg biscuit and milk in the 

 morning and table scraps at night. Aug. Give the following mix- 

 ture: Bicarbonate of potash and tincture of nux vomica of each 

 Idr., liquor arsenicalis 48 minims, sulphate of morphia Igr,, 

 water 6oz. Give oue tablespoonful three times a day. Pi'ed on raw 

 meat in t he morning and bread and gravy with scraps m the even- 

 ing, or cod liver oil cakes. You might also treat for worms. Do 

 not give any violent exercise. If no improvement after this, con- 

 sult a veterinary surgeon. 



W. W., Providence, R. I.— My 10 months old bull-terrier bitch 

 puppy has a skin disorder. Have tried several mange lotions but 

 met with only ("mall encouragement. Skiuisverv red and feels 

 lumpy to the touch. Afr^r being washed the lumps and pimples 

 have a yellowish head, as if they contained matter, and some 

 look like a blister. Pace, breast, inside of paws and hindlegs 

 principally affected. Hair all comes ou^ when par's are affected, 

 leaving skin hot and dry. Has been affected for nearly two 

 months. Am now using Buchan's carbolic soap and liquid dog 

 wash externally and the cuticnra resolvi nt for the blood inter- 

 nally. In her stools can be seen numberless little white .specks 

 similar in size and shape to a caraway sepd, which upon being 

 exposed to the air a short time, became alive and resemble mag- 

 got worms. .July 4 I gave her Glover's vermifuge and she passed 

 a lot of worms from 1 Lo 4in. long and about the size of vermicelli 

 in circumference. A week later gave another dose but only 

 three were passed. At limes she smf^lls very foul and her breath 

 is exceedingly offensive. Has a good appetite and sleeps well. 

 Ans. Treat for worms again, using some other vermifuge this 

 time. Also give, as an injection into tho bowels afier a motion, 

 Sozi. of Infusion of quassia. Give the following mixture: 



Sulphate of magnesia Bdrs. 



Bicarbonate of soda 2dr8. 



Liquor scdse arsenicalis Idr. 



Water (Joz. 



Give one teaspoonful twice a day. Apply the following oint- 

 ment all over the dog twdce or three times a week: Best kero- 

 sene, 1 pint; castor oil, 1 pint; best cotton-seed oil or olive oil, 3 



pints. Apply boracic ointment to the sores daily. Give 4 to 6oz. 

 of meat in addition to the present. She is in season, the BweUing 

 will disappear in a week or two.

 tal and battalion organizations of the National Guard of New York, 

 Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, and New 

 Jersey will enter. The teams are limited to six men each, and these 

 matches, which will last for two days, will be by the firing regulations 

 for small arms now in force in the United States Army. Under these 

 regulations a trophy for each match will be competed for, and will be 

 awarded to the organization whose team for the two days' competition 

 attains the highest aggregate in each mat<-.h. These trophies are to 

 be coinjietea for in each year until one organization wins the same 

 trophy three times. There will also be held pool and individual 

 matches, and matches on the standard American target at SOOyds. on 

 Aug. 26. S6. 27, and 2:». Tents, cots, and blankets will be supplied to 

 all teams entering ui the competitions. Gen. Bird W. Spencer. In- 

 spector-General of Rifle Practice of New Jersey, who is much inter- 

 ested in tbis first meet, is making evei-y arrangement possible for the 

 comfort of the National Guardsmen wbo will attend. The following 

 programme has been thus far adopted: 



Monday, Aug. 24, will be devoted to the work of establishing camp, 

 receiviog competitions, inspection of ranges, and the general work of 

 preparation. The names of the principals and alternates, in the order 

 in which they are to fire, both at known distances and as skirmishers 

 will be submitt^id to the officers in charge bv the team captains on 

 or before 8 o'clock P. M. 



Tuesday, Aug. 25, preliminary practice, known distances. Each 

 competitor will be allowed to fii-e 10 shots at 200 and .WOyds. 



Wednesday, Aug. !i6, preliminary practice, skirmish firing. Bach 

 competitor svill be allowed two skirmish runs of 20 shots each, firing 

 to be conducted under the same regulations as in the regular com- 

 petition 



Thursday, Aug. 27, regular competitions, known distances. Each 

 competitor will fire 10 shuts at each of the ranges, 200 and 500y Js. 



Friday, Aug. 28, regular competition, skirmish firing. Each com- 

 petitor will make two skirmish runs of 20 shots each, 600 to 300yds. 

 and back, 10 halts, 5 advancing and 5 retiring, 30 seconds firing inter- 

 val, at each halt. 



Saturday, Aug. 29. Individual matches and such team matches as 

 may be arranged for during the meeting. 



The rifles must be the .service rifle of the State from which the team 

 comes, and it must be shot standing at the 200yd. ranges, and from a 

 prone position at .500yds. 



The skirmish firing will be between 30Oand 000yds,, and any position 

 for firing will be permitted. The targats wiU be ot the second-class, 

 in groups of ten or leas. The competitors assigned to each group will 

 form in hoe in the rear of the 600yd. firing point, with zO cartridges 

 each in their belts. Then the competitors will advance as in the skir- 

 mish drill, and begin firing after the last note of the bugle .signal, and 

 the firing will continue for .50 seconds, when the bugle will sound to 

 cease firing Then the line advances and these signals are repeated. 

 When the 200yd fine is reached the signal. "To the rear, march," will 

 be sounded. The manosuvering lo the rear and firing will continue 

 as on the advance. This will show how well the guardsmen can shoot 

 in field work at uncertain distances.

BISLEY CRITICS.— Now that the annual meet is over the En- 

 glishman is indulging in his delight of e.r post, facto tetter writing. 

 One writer growls at the system which uas too much known dis- 

 tance shooting, arguing that real military work has no range 

 stakes on the shootinE fi^-ld. Another wants the picnic element 

 of the fortnight worked for all it is worth to capture the public's 

 shillings, and in explanation of the generally poor scoring shown 

 many correepondents unite in damning the service ammunition 

 furnished. 



STANDARD-KEYSTONE TOURNAMENT. 



At New London, Conn., on Friday evening last, the fourth 

 annual tournament of the above company was brought to a suc- 

 cessful close. For four davB the meeting had been running, and 

 those in attendance were treated to a disolay of marksmanship 

 that will be long remembered. A large majoritv of the stars of 

 the profession were in attendance, and some of the younger aspir- 

 ants for championship honors, particularly Cady of Nesv London, 

 Root of Tolland, Conn., and Hobart of Newark. N. .1., gave clever 

 exhibitions of their skill, I he last making an average of 97 per 

 cent., the highest ever made in his cdass. 



The grounds of the New L^ndo^ Gnu Club, on whif h the shoot 

 was held, are located at the ba^c of a hill, wLich runs in semi- 

 circular shape from Fort Trumlmll on the north Hudwesttoa 

 small island on the southeast, wbile diioctly in front are the 

 waters of the Thames River. 



The tents of the members of the Manufacturers and Dealers' 

 A.sFoc'aiinn were arranged along the base of the hill, and the dif- 

 ferent colored canvasses and flutteriue tent flags lent yuite an 

 animated appearance io the grounds. To the left was first the 

 t»nt of the Peters Cartridge Co., next the Lefever Arms Co., and 

 then came that of the Keystone Co. Next in order was the natty 

 tent of the Forest and Stream, and then the headquarters of the 

 Colt gnu with VViU Peny, of Boston in charge. The tepee of 

 Wood Powder Lin d si ey with the smilinar countenance of "Wanda" 

 at the entrance was next. Then V. L. & D.'a new tent with W. R. 

 Hobart in charge. Squires's headquaiters was next, and Neaf 

 Aptrar. when nut at the score, wa< kept busy extolling the meri's 

 of his wares. On either side of the path way leading from the 

 club house were the tents of W. Fred t^uimby & Co. and the 

 Hunter Arms Co , the former in charge of the senior member of 

 tlie firm, the latter presided over by Harvey McMurchy, who was 

 kept busy showing up the merits of the new automatic ejector. 

 The last "tent on the line was the headquarters of Jacob Peniz, the 

 representative of the American Field. The Bbootingwas com- 

 menced at 10 A.M. each day aud continued until Friday night 

 without a let up. As a successful meeting it can he looked upon 

 as the best that has so far taken place. Everything appeareii to 

 favor the management, the weaiher, apart: from the heat of the 

 two Brst days, w;t8 grand. Rum threatened a good many times, 

 but none fell excepting just at the close of Wednesday's pro- 

 gramme, when a smart shower drove every one to cover. During 

 the af lernoons of Thursday and Friday there was a lartre attend- 

 ance of ladies, and all seemed very much interested in the sport. 



The iea,turefi of the meeting were, of course, the trophy con- 

 tests. On the fii'st dav the Standard KcvstouR trophy, a handsome 

 silver cup of the vain? of S2.50 was offered. The secoad day wit- 

 nessed the competition for the msguificent trophv of the L- C. 

 Smith Gun Co. This grand trophy t-tands over 18in. in height, 

 and is valued at $1,500. The third day was the race for the hand- 

 some cud. of the value of $300, which is offered for competiiion 

 by the Peters Cartridge Co. The fourth day saw the most spirited 

 of all the competitions, the prizp, a handsome diamond ring, 

 offered by the Siandard Keystone Co.. being emblematical of the 

 indiA'idual championship of the United States. The race was a 

 hotly « ontested one, and when it was found that three men had 

 tied for the trophy there was a perfect storm of applause. As to 

 the management o£ the mi^etiuB: too much cannot be said in 

 praise, it cert.ainlv was the .^est handled tournament I have ever 

 seen. President Penrose was commander-in-chief, and when not 

 busy refereeing the contests, he was looking after the comfort of 

 the contestants and their friends. 



The financial department in charge of Charley Hebbard assisted 

 by Mr. Ben Lee could not have been handled in a more satisfac- 

 tory manner. The scoriug in charge of Jim Ames, M. M. Biiley 

 and George Stillmau was most satisfactory, and above all, the 

 puUiuK ot the traps was in efflcient hands. Few realize how im- 

 portfiut ia the position of trap puller. Chas. Fields, the keener of 

 the New London light (whi :h, oyth'iway, is said to be the best 

 kept light on the Sounu), was in charge oi the pulliny; stand, and 

 few shooters complained of being balked. The targRts used at 

 this meeting were the new drop top bird, and were entirely black, 

 which in the clear background at New Tiondon made a far better 

 target than if they had been painted. The trap-i in charge of John 

 Dunbar, the master macuinist of the factory, worked to perfec- 

 tion, and tae breakage amounted to leas than .50 targets iu the 

 25 000 that were thiosvn.
