DOG CHAT. 
IN respect to the Northwestern Field Trials Club's meet- 
ing, Mr. Johnson writes as follows: "Mr. George Gait re- 
turned to-day from Europe. I have in consequence to 
rush out to our Western branches to find if they are there 
yet. Consequently I am sending cards to members ad- 
journing the meeting of the Northwestern Club (which 
was to decide on trials) till my return two weeks hence, 
or until the 24th. * * * Our Mr. H. Gait, of Chicago, 
wanted a fox terrier, a good one, for a friend in Chicago. 
I wrote to Mr. Brailsford, who selected one for Mr. H. 
Gait, and very kindly met them with it at the vessel at 
Liverpool. Mr. Gait says it is a 'bird.' Mr. Brailsford 
has also selected for me a young black setter dog which I 
wanted to breed to, being afraid to inbreed too closely. I 
have entered him in the Continental Derby, but he is yet 
at Mr. Lonsdale's kennel." From a clipping we learn 
that Mr. Johnson has purchased the Carveth packing fac- 
tory, which was close by his residence, and has used the 
back part of the lot for additional room for his kennels, 
thereby enlarging them by 50ft. 
Under date of June 10, concerning the Northwestern 
Beagle dub's trials, Mr. Louis Steffen, secretary of the 
club, writes: "The prospects are brighter than ever for a 
large entry." 
which it is hoped past dissensions, which were created by 
local jealousy, will be wiped out. Both organizations are 
of too wide a nature to permit petty feelings to have a 
place. The best class of the genuine true sportsman take 
a big interest in field trials, and this is no doubt occa- 
sioned by the fact that it is a sport that has never been 
c ontaminated with gambling influences." 
St. Paul, Minn., has somewhat recovered from its re- 
cent violent mad dog scare. The newspaper reports 
would indicate that many of the dogs were all going mad 
at once. One newspaper said that "Health Commissioner 
Stone and Dr. Price, the live stock inspector, were kept 
busy all day investigating reports from all parts of the 
city relative to dogs suspected of suffering from rabies." 
But then the mad dog scare becomes emulative, much after 
the fashion of the bicycle craze, etc., and neighborhoods 
vie with each other for the sensation of producing the 
greatest number, the largestjand most ferocious, demonia- 
cal mad dogs and the most bitten people of any place or 
city. 
Complaints of unjust or dishonest treatment in dog 
dealing are heard once in a while, coming either from 
the seller or buyer. There is a sameness in the stories. 
Either the seller sends the dog on approval to a man some 
hundreds of miles away, of whom he never heard prior 
to the transaction, or the purchaser ignores letters and 
fails to pay. Or the purchaser sends his money and re- 
ceives an inferior or worthless dog, one whose deficiencies 
are in sharp contrast to the praises bestowed on him by 
the seller. Whether the cheated one is buyer or seller, he 
is prone to blame some one or something other than him- 
self for his own negligence in observing the most ordi- 
nary business precautions. Men who own dogs are much 
the same as other men. Ownership in dogs does not 
change human nature. While nearly all dogmen are 
good, there are a few who are not. A business transac- 
tion should not be a matter of sentiment. The purchase 
of a dog is quite aB much a business transaction as the 
purchase of anything else, and there should be no effort to 
make it a poetical event. If the seller will let dogs go to 
a purchaser whose only recommendation is that he loves 
to hear the whirr of wings while the rime of the frost and 
glint of the sunlight are on the brown autumn leaves, and 
if purchasers will buy dogs of strangers who write letters 
of embellishment, they must abide by the results, be they 
good or ill. It is not just to blame others for their own 
negligence under such circumstances. 
We are informed the Rhode Island State Fair claims 
September 17 to 20 for its third annual bench show. 
Spratts Patent will bench and feed, and the popular and 
skillful fancier Mr. E. M. Oldham will superintend. A 
revised premium list will be issued in the near future, 
and the names of the judges will be announced in due 
time. 
We are informed that the Executive Committee of the 
New Jersey Kennel League held a meeting on the evening 
of the l^th inst. to determine definitely whether or not 
the league would hold a bench show this year. The mat- 
ter rests chiefly on whether or not a suitable building can 
be secured for show purposes. 
At the Canadian Kennel Club's last meeting Dr. D. S. 
McDougal, Russell, Ont. ; J. W. Churchill, Salem, Mass. ; 
E. Lynge, Toronto; R. S. Steacy, Brockville; George 
Dunn, Woodstock, were elected to membership. "It was 
decided to recognize wins up to the end of 1894, held 
under C. K. C. or A. K. C. rules." 
The first show of the Ladies' Kennel Association (Eng- 
land) had about 1,500 entries. As entries were confined 
to dogs owned by ladies, the total is quite a good showing. 
June 20-22.— Portland, Ore. — Multnomah Rod and Gun Club's 
eleventh annual tournament. D. L. Williams, Sec'y. 
June 24-28. — Saratoga, N. Y,— Annual tournament of the New York 
State Sportsmen's Association, under the auspices of the Saratoga 
Gun Club. H. M. Levengston, Sec'y. 
June 26-27.— Vicksburg, Miss.— Tournament of the Interstate Asso- 
ciation, under the auspices of the Vicksburg Gun Club. 
June 29.— Marion, N. J.— Fifth tournament of the New Jersey Trap- 
Shooters' League, under the auspices of the Endeavor Gun Club. 
DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. 
It would add greatly to the value of the trap reports that appear in 
these columns if secretaries and correspondents would be particular 
in giving the conditions of the various events. All that is needed is a 
note to the effect that the event was shot "everything known," ''un- 
known angles," "expert" (five unknown traps, known angles), etc., 
etc. It is taken for granted that, unless otherwise stated, every event 
is decided "everything known." Where all events are decided at one 
style of shooting, a note to that effect is sufficient. In sweepstake 
shooting at tournaments, the entrance money should also be men- 
tioned. The above details may not be of interest to everybody, but 
they make reports of shoots complete, and certainly are of interest to 
many readers of Forest and Stream. 
The following extract from a letter, dated Grand Rapids, Mich., June 
7, will be read with interest: "At the Valley City Gun Club tourna- 
ment, at Grand Rapids, the total number of targets thrown, official 
figures, was 13,655. The thoroughness with which the office was man- 
aged is evidenced by the fact that, while the total amount of money 
paid in for the three days was $2,077 50, the cash account came out 
within $1.07 at the termination, and the purses in each event were 
ready before the next event was finished. But two errors were made, 
and the amount of these only made a difference of 20 cents. The club 
is out of pocket about $250 by the tournament, but artistically it was 
such a success that it is not disheartened, but will be on deck again in 
1896. In fact, an impromptu tournament for 'all day' on July 4 is al- 
most assured." 
N. E. Money and "TJ. M. C." Thomas called at this office on Monday 
morning, having just returned from the Memphis tournament. Their 
opinions of the shoot, freely expressed, fully bear out everything 
that has been written about it by Mr. Hough, whose interesting ac- 
count of the week's work at Memphis appears in another column. 
One feature of the shoot that Messrs. Money and Thomas pointed out 
to me was the fact that as a rule 15 and 16 out of 20 paid better than 
either 17, 18 or 19. When one comes to think of it, it is only a nat- 
ural result with such a class of shooters as were present. Why did 
not more 80 per cent, men think of this earlier?,' 
The Morgan's Grove Fair Association's trap-shooting tournament 
will be given at Shepherdstown, W. Va., on Sept. 4 and 5, under the 
management of the Interstate Association. 
The ranks of the Interstate Association have been swelled by the 
addition of the well-known gun firm Parker Bros., of Meriden, Conn., 
to its membership. 
It is stated Dr. W. F. Carver ("Evil Spirit") will make his home in 
Chicago, 111., where he has purchased a handsome residence on the 
South Side. 
Walter E. Lewis, secretary of the Naromake Gun Club, Norwalk' 
Conn., writes that his club will hold an all- day shoot on its grounds 
at Dorton's Point on the Fourth of July. Trolley cars run direct to 
the grounds, while shore dinners and refreshments of all kinds may 
be obtained within gunshot of the trap's. 
There will be several local club3 represented in the Dean Richmond 
cup contest at the State shoot next week. Among the clubs repre- 
sented will be the present holders— the New Utrecht, the New York 
County, Emerald, Long Island, Cobweb, etc, The New TJtrechts will 
be strongly represented, a large delegation of members having prom- 
ised to be present at Saratoga on Friday morning. 
The scores made at Memphis show how slight a handicap it would 
be to make experts shoot at unknown angles, while semi-experts and 
novices shoot at krfown angles. On Tuesday, June 11, Rolla Heikes 
dropped two targets during the day, scoring 162 out of 165; Van Dyke 
made four straight scores in eight events, Glover being credited with 
the same number. What chance would tyros have against such high- 
class work? Heikes's record is an extraordinary one. 
•The next New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League contest takes place at 
Marion. N. J., on the grounds and under the auspices of the Endeavor 
Gun Club of Jersey City, N, J. This meeting promises to be well 
attended, as every club in the league will almost certainly be repre- 
sented by a team of five men. 
Annie Oakley's shooting always catches the crowd. According to 
the Boston Globe of June 12, she received a very warm reception the 
previous night, at the hands of a crowd estimated at 20,000. Buffalo 
Bill's show is evidently as popular as it ever was. 
Enoch Miller tells me that the Union Gun Club, of Springfield, N. J., 
will hold an all day shoot on the fourth of July, at live birds and tar- 
gets. Shooting will commenue at 9 A. M. He adds that all who at- 
tend the shoot may be assured of finding plenty of shade and ice-cold 
refreshments. 
Among the tournaments in the near future are the New York State 
shoot, Jpne 24-29: Vicksburg, Miss., Interstate tournament, June 26-27, 
and the Altoona, Pa., tournament, July 10-12. 
Owing to some oversight, no programme of the New York State 
shoot at Saratoga, has reached us. We have had to depend for our 
notice of the same on the kindness of a friend who loaned us a copy 
for a few hours. Hence the shortness of the notice given elsewhere. 
The Dlahoga Gun Club, of Athens, Pa., announces an all day shoot 
for July 4, shooting commencing at 9 A. M. Targets will be charged 
for at the rate of 2cts. each. A cordial invitation to attend is issued 
by the club. 
The Charlotte, N. C, Interstate will be a good shoot. Although the 
club has not advertised any money, I understand that it will add from 
$100 to $200 per day. The tournament takes place on August 27-29. 
Speaking of the State shoot, what a pity it is that such an import- 
ant event as the Dean Richmond Trophy contest cannot be decided at 
some other time of the year. Mid-summer is a poor time to shoot live 
birds, unless they are specially selected. Even then they scarcely ever 
come up to moderate fall or winter birds. 
Next week is the International week in London, At Hurlingham, 
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and at the Gun Club, Tuesday, 
Thursday and Saturday, the crack pigeon shots of Europe will com- 
pete for valuable prizes. There will be a fair sprinkling of Americans 
among the contestants. Edward Banes. 
The Saratoga Programme. 
The programme for the thirty-seventh annual tournament of the 
New York State Association covers the six days of next week, com- 
mencing Monday, June 24. On that date there will be no State 
events, but a card of twelve events, consisting of 10, 15 and 20-target 
races, open to the world, will be shot off. This programme for the 
open events will be repeated on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and 
Friday. 
State events, with a uniform entry fee of $4, will be shot as follows: 
Tuesday— two 25-target races, 7 moneys. Wednesday morning— mer- 
chandise event, 25 targets, 7 classes of prizes; afternoon, a 25-target 
race. On Thursday there will be two 25-target races as on Tuesday, 
and there will also be the team championship of the State contest, 
four men to a team. Friday will see the contests for the Individual 
Championship, the Lef ever Arms Company's diamond medal and the 
E. C. Powder Company's silver cup. This i3 shot at 100 targets, 
unknown angles, the cup becoming the property of the winner. The 
entrance is $5, birds extra; anybody, however, is entitled to shoot 
for the cup on paying the price of the birds. The Lef ever medal is held 
by the winner in trust for the Association; this contest is at 20 
singles and 5 pairs, entrance $3, birds included. As above stated, on 
each of these days there will be a card of open events run off. 
Saturday, June 29, is the day set apart for the Dean Richmond 
trophy. The conditions are: $20 per team, 15 live birds per man, 
three men to a team. The three men on a team "must be residents of 
the town or city in which the club is located, or in a town or city in 
the same county immediately adjoining thereto." 
In all target events the money will be divided on the Levengston 
system. The system is as follows: 4 nearly equal moneys in 10-target 
events, viz. : 28, 26, 24 and 32 per cent. ; 5 moneys in 15-target events, 
viz.: 34, 22, 20, 18 and 16; 6 moneys in 20-target events, viz. : 22, 20, 18, 
16, 14 and 10 per cent. The introduction states: "While the moneys 
are so nearly equal, the expert will still be amply rewarded for his 
superior shooting by the fact that there are fewer tens than nines, 
fifteens than fourteens, and twenties than nineteens, and the amateur 
who shoots a 70 or 80 per cent, will not be shut out," 
A point for shooters to remember is that transportation at the rate 
of a fare and a third for the round trip can be secured by obtaining 
a certificate from the agent when you buy your ticket. 
Mr. W. A. Coster, secretary of the E. F. T. C, writes us 
that the complete particulars of Mr. Ledbetter's entry are as 
follows: "Marie Sport, black, white and tan English set- 
ter bitch, whelped May, 1894, by Gleam's Sport— Marie 
Avent." 
In a letter of recent date Mr. Henry Jarrett, Chestnut 
Hill, Philadelphia, writes us as follows: "I am pleased to 
say my stud dogs have had a most successful season so far 
this year. Fourteen bitches have been sent to Christopher, 
eleven to Wellesbourne Charlie, and four to Domino II.' 
and five to the Irish terrier John Briggs." 
The Pacific Coast Field Trials Club has decided to run 
its next trials at Bakersfield, commencing on Jan 20 
1896. 
Field Sports^'szLjs: "The regular monthly meeting of 
the Pacific Kennel Club was held on June 6. The secre- 
tary-treasurer's report showed the club's assets to be over 
$1,200. The bench show committee submitted its report 
of the late show, showing the receipts to be over $3,400 
and the net loss to be $216. A communication was read 
from Secretary Lelong, of the State Agricultural Society, 
asking the club to take charge of a bench show to be held 
in conjunction with the State Fair at Sacramento in Sep- 
tember next. Amotion to appoint a committee to investi- 
gate the advisability of such action was lost, and the 
secretary was then instructed to reply that the club 
thought the matter inadvisable. A committee consisting 
of Messrs. Barker, Watson and Haight was appointed to 
confer with the A. K. C, in response to a communication 
from the secretary of the A. K. O. asking the club to appoint 
a delegate to act with other delegates from other clubs of 
the coast on all club matters for adjudication west of 110 
degrees. The annual election of officers resulted as fol- 
lows: H. Bier, President; E. H. Wakeman, First Vice- 
President; Herbert Spencer, Second Vice-President; Hor- 
ace Orear, Secretary; C. A. Haight, Financial Secretary 
and Treasurer. The following list was proposed for mem- 
bership: J. H. Debbron, Louis Hagan, Dr. F. W. D'Evelyn, 
F. J. Baxter and L. H. Waldron. T. F. "Williams was 
elected an honorary member. 
The Winnipeg -Free Press of June 8 made the following 
favorable comment on field trial matters: "The North- 
western club and the Manitoba club have not acted har- 
moniously in the past, but negotiations are in progress in 
Tours to the North via Pennsylvania Railroad. 
To provide the most attractive method of spending a summer holiday, 
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has arranged to run two delight- 
ful tours to the North. The points included in the itinerary and the 
country traversed abound in nature's beauties. Magnificent scenery 
bagins with the journey and ends only with its completion. 
The names of the places to be visited are familiar to all and sugges- 
tive of wonderland. No matter how much may be expected, one can- 
not be disappointed in Watkin's Glen, Niagara Falls, Thousand Islands, 
Quebec, Montreal, Au Sable Chasm, Lakes Champlain and George, 
Saratoga, or the Highlands of the Hudson, The dates fixed for the 
departures of these two tours are July 16 and August 20, and the 
round-trip rate of $100 from New York, Brooklyn, Newark, Trenton, 
Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Baltimore, and Washington will cover all 
necessary expenses during the time absent. A beautiful descriptive 
itinerary can be procured from the tourist department of the Pennsyl- 
vania Railroad, 1196 Broadway, New York, or Room 411, Broad Street 
Station, Philadelphia. — Adv.
