the dog from seeking at all. He may punish the dog for 
mouthing a bird, and thereafter the dog may be afraid to 
take a bird in his mouth ; so that the trainer has suppressed 
the whole of the accomplishment. The trainer whose skill 
is such that he can suppress the undesirable traits and at the 
same time preserve the desirable ones, is the best of trainers. 
He must be patient, intelligent and good-tempered, besides 
having the necessary knowledge of dogs and dog char- 
acter. 
The dog will hunt rabbits or sheep with as great a zest as 
he will hunt birds, in fact, he will hunt them with greater 
zest and fierceness. . Punishment will break him of chasing 
them, and after a time by habit he will become indifferent to 
them. But the punishment which breaks the dog from 
chasing rabbits will also break him from hunting birds, 
hence it is a common occurrence that when the amateur 
punishes his dog for breaking shot or chasing birds, he 
breaks him from hunting them. 
For these reasons, two systems of training have had their 
advocates, one being founded on the theory of no punish- 
ment at all, the other on punishment intelligently applied. 
The true theory is the combination of kindness and punish- 
ment which will humanely and most thoroughly accomplish 
the desired purpose. B. Waters.

POINTS AND FLUSHES. 
The famous pointer Trinket's Bang (Oroxteth— Trinket), 
died several months ago, aged about fourteen years. He 
won first in the Western Field Trial Club's AH Age Stake, 
1885 and divided third with Bob Gates in the National Trials 
of the same year. He was the sire of a number of superior 
performers, among which were Cherrystone, Pearl's Dot, 
Spotted Boy, and he was grandsire of Strideaway and Vir- 
ginia. His owner, Mr. Wra. Titterington, has suffered a 
grievous misfortune in the gradual loss of his sanity during 
the past few years, and a short time since was removed to an 
asyluna. 
The Northwestern Field Trials Club elected recently the 
following list of officers : President, Thos. Stone, Alberta; 
Vice-President Benjamin Gordon, Winnipeg; Secretary- 
Treasurer, Thos. Johnson, Winnipeg.

A brawny Swede visited the city hall the other day to 
procure a marriage license, and a couple of clerks to whom 
he innocently stated his wishes dkected him to the depart- 
ment where dog licenses are issued. He approached the 
license window diOidently, gave his name and address, and 
asked what the documents would cost. "It will cost you 
$1 a year for every dog you keep," replied the clerk. 
'•Dog?" echoed the Swede. "Why,. certainly," continued 
the clerk, "don't you want a dog license?" "Val, no," cried 
the would-be Benedict, "Ay kain't afford to buy dog dees 
yar. Ay vant to get only a vooman now." — Chicago Times-

Tlie "yaller" dog, a term heretofore synonymous with 
everything lowly, worthless and neglected, is about to have 
his day, or bad quarter of an hour, if the tumultuous ap- 
plause bastowed on a song having vogue in the vaudeville 
entertainments of this city is any criterion of it. It is a 
source of regret, however, that even in his ill days the yal- 
ler dog should dawn in literature as the hero in a setting of 
such versification. The chorus is sutflcient for one reading, 
if the reader can imagine a tuue of sufficient pathos to accom- 
pany it : 
"He was only a little yaller, yaller dog, 
The ugliest in all the land ; 
But I'd rather have a wag of my little dog's tall 
Than the grasp of a false friend's hand." 
Three several friends in New Brunswick have been at 
pains to send us a story printed in a local newspaper re- 
specting a moose killed in that Province last autumn by a 
visitor from Massachusetts. The head of the moose .hav- 
ing been left behind him by the sportsman, to be for- 
warded later, was intercepted and confiscated by the 
authorities on the ground that the Massachusetts man had 
not taken out a hunting license. Moreover, the sportsman 
and his guide having fallen out, the guide now puts forth 
the tale, which our correspondents send, that the moose 
was snared and tied fast to a tree that it might 
be an easy and sure victim of magazine inexpert- 
ness. This is not less ingenious than unkind. There 
is very good reason to believe that in the future, 
however, New Brunswick guides who escort non-licensed 
foreigners into the moose woods will be extremely reticent 
about what happens there; for the Province has just 
adopted a law which forbids the guiding of hunters who 
evade the license rules. Its terms are that if any person 
shall accompany into the woods as a guide one who is not 
duly licensed for the purpose of hunting moose or caribou, 
he shall be liable to a penalty of from $20 to ?40 or im- 
prisonment. This is a beginning of carrying into practice 
the Maine system of guide resp onsibility for the conduct 
of the guided. Hereafter the geniuses who tie up moose 
for license-dodging hunters may be depended upon to 
keep exceedingly mum about it.

Schenectady Gun Club. 
• Schenectady, N. Y , June 2.— The Schenectady Gun Club is com- 
paratively a new club, having been organized about a year, and after 
a hard struggle for existence has developea iato a strong, well organ- 
ized club, having on Ids rolls a large number of the principal business 
and professional men of this city. Its membership has steadily in- 
creased during the winter months, and it now numbers ninety. The 
club do^B both trap and rifle shooting, and has been exceptionally 
fortunate in securing a good location for practice, especially at the 
traps. 
The grounds are twenty minutes' ride on trolley cars from the 
busmess center of our city, and the cars stop within 500£t. of our 
shooting grounds. 
Ninety-eight percent, of our members never shot from traps be- 
fore joining our club. The interest in trap shooting has steadily in- 
creased lately, and for the past two months we have thrown over 
8,000 targets. We meet every Satiu-day afternoon, and cordially in- 
vite any members of other cliibs to spend an afternoon with us. 
The following brief report of our Decoration Day shoot will ijive 
your readers some idea of our work at the traps and rifle range: 
Four prizes were offered and the members ot the club were divided 
into three classes: A, B and C. Class A shot from scratch; Class C 
received a handicap allowance of 15 misses as breaks in 100; Class B 
received 25 allowance. The con. est consisted of 8 events at various 
styles of shootmg: Nos. 1 and 8 were at known traps and angles; Mo. 
2, unknown angles, both barrels; No 3, 5 pairs, known iraps and 
angles; No. 4, straightaways; No. 5, 5 pairs trom 1 and 3 iraps: No. 6, 
unknown angles; No. 7, unknown traps and unknown angles Only 
seven members shot through the programme, and all were members 
of classes A and B. Below are the totals:

First prize won by J. Andrews, second by E. Murday; third and 
fourth prizes were tied for by Sauter and Berg, the latter winning on 
the shoot-off. 
The result of the prize shooting at the rifle range was as follows: 
Fifty shots were to be iired at the target at xSOyds range. Out of a 
possible S50 points, the scores of the three leaders are: Clay, first 
prize, 201 points; Turian, second prize, 190 points; WaUburg, third 
prize, 184 points. 
Any communication addressed to Valentine WaUburg, the presi- 
dent,' or O. R. Clark, the secretary, Schenectady, N. Y , will receive 
prompt attention. Madison. 
Missoula Rod and Gun Club. 
Missoula, Mont , May 30.— The Missoula Rod and Gun Club has been 
shooting over an oid set of traps since the season opened on April], 
and those traps have been breaking an enormous quantity of targsts. 
A couple of weeks ag0 we subscribed among ourselves enough to pur- 
chase a full set of new expert traps, and Paul, North s electric pull. 
To-day we shot at 1,000 targets over them, the traps breaking only 
two. Below are the scores made, the poor scores being mainly attri- 
butable to the new trap*, whicii throw a much swifter target than the 
shooters have been accustomed to. 
Medal shoot at 25 targets, unknown angles: Rogers (winner of me- 
dal) 23, Menard 17, Flowers 16, Forbes 14, Mix 14, Eddy 12, Tbompson 
12, Graham 11. 
In another shoot under the same conditions, the following scores 
were made: Rogers and Forbes 17; Menard, Mix, Flowers and Eddy, 
15; Tbompson 14, and Graham 12. 
The oflhcers of the club for this year are: Pres dent, N. W. M. 
Thompson: Vice-President, L. L Hunt; Secretary-Treasurer, W. E. 
Graham. W. E. Graham, Sec'y.

Communications for this department are requested. Anything on 
the bicycle in its relation to the sportsman is particularly desirable 
WHEELING NOTES. 
Leaky lamps are a nuisance on bicycles, but it is a fact 
not generally recognized that they may be a source of dan- 
ger as well. Coming home from a ride in the country the 
other day, a wheelman, crossing one of the ferries to New 
York, lit his lamp, which had happened to be overturned aj 
short time previously, and was surprised to see it at once 
enveloped in a sheet of flame. His efforts to blow it out 
were unsuccessful, and it was only at the expense of a burnt 
hand and a damaged cap that he eventually succeeded in 
smothering the flame. 
A similar accident happened to a rider at Merchantville, 
N. J. He was calling on a friend and had left his bicycle 
outside with the lamp still lighted, when a sudden illumina- 
tion attracted his attention. He ran out and found the eh- 
tire front part of his wheel in flames. The burning oil had 
leaked out over the rim and tire, which were completely 
ruined, while the enamel on the frame was also badly dam- 
aged. 
Lamps should, of course, never be left alight when not in 
use, and it is also pretty generally recognized that they will 
give satisfaction only when conscientiously cleaned and 
cared for. 
Wheeling on the ice, as has been remarked, is the highest 
luxury of cycling, and probably the least known branch of 
the sport. Provided there is no water on the ice, rubber 
tires hold perfectly well for all practical purposes, and no 
better or less fatiguing surface for long runs could be de- 
vised. Last winter a Fokest and Strea]\i wheelman 
hazarded the prophecy that when the North Pole was dis- 
covered it would be through the agency of a bicycle, and 
now in all seriousness comes a proposition to do this very 
thing. 
It is reported that Mr. Hugh Lee, who accompanied Lieut. 
Peary on his famous trip across the ice fields of Greenland, 
believes the North Pole can best be reached by the use of 
the bicycle. He is quoted as saying that the condition of 
the ice fields in the Arctic, although broken in many places 
by leads in summer and by icebergs all the year round, pre- 
sent excellent opportunities for the practical use of the 
wheel. The snow that covers the ice in winter is pounded 
down by the wind until it is hard enough to bear a man, and 
the ice itself at times is as smooth as that found in more 
temperate climes 
"When I was with Lieut. Peary on that long trip across 
Greenland," Mr, Lee is reported as saying, "there were miles 
upon miles of ice and snow, level and smooth enough for 
wheeling. I frequently wished for my wheel. If I ever go 
North again I shall take one with me." 
It is said that Mr. Lee is very likely to have the chance of 
trying the experiment, as he expects to go North again with 
Peary, and is already making preparations for special tires 
and equipment. 
Lieut. Moss, with his black troopers from the 25th Infan- 
try, is indefatigable in his efforts to demonstrate the utility 
of the bicycle for army service. 
In a few weeks he proposes with twenty picked men, in- 
cluding a surgeon and a cycle repair man, to begin a prac- 
tice march from l^'ort Missoula to St. Louis and return, a dis- 
tance of about 3,000 miles. 
The route will extend through southern Montana, the 
Yellowstone Pa.rk, Wyoming, Nebraska and Missouri, with 
possible detours into Colorado and Kansas. As no appro- 
priation for the purchase of supplies is available, the line of 
march will be arranged to take in as many army forts as pos- 
sible where rations can be obtained. When the supplies 
give out at a distance from a fort they will of course have to 
be purchased, but for most of the distance the army com- 
missary can be depended upon. 
It is expected that over poor roads an averlge distance of 
forty-five or fifty miles per day will be covered, while over 
good roads this distance will be considerably exceeded. 
Tents are to be taken along and camps will be pitched at 
night. Much of the cooking will also be attended to by the 
men, who aie provided with light field outfits for this pur- 
pose. 
The cooking outfits, consisting of dripping pans, bakers, 
coffee-pots and tin boiler, will be carried in large tin cases 
fastened to the front of the bicycle. 
Blankets, tents, underwear and personal effects, as well as 
extra rations, will be stored in knapsacks, haversacks or can- 
vas luggage cases, which are fitted In the diamond of the 
bicycle. 
Every other soldier will carry a rifle strapped to the left 
side of the frame of his wheel, while men not so provided 
will carry revolvers. 
The bicycles for the trip have been built under Lieutenant 
Moss's supervision, with a special view to rough service. 
They weigh 301 bs., and are each expected to carry in addi- 
tion to their ridtr, about 401bs. of outfit and supplies. The 
gear is 68^, 19 anti 8, and each bicycle is provided with a 
good serviceable hrake. In selecting tires the factor of 
resilience has been made secondary to strength, and the re- 
sult is a very tough and practically puncture-proof tire. 
The rims are of steel, which, though more apt to buckle 
than wood under strains, are better fitted for wet riding. 
Last year Lieutenant Moss found that after fording streams 
wooden rims frequently went to pieces, owing to the parts 
becoming unglued by the action of the water 
Comfortable saddles have been fitted to the bicycles, and 
every caution that experience could suggest taken to ensure 
against breakdown. 
On the march at times the detachment will move in close 
order, and at times single men or small parties will be de- 
tailed for special service. The object of the test is not so 
much to prove the feasibility of moving bodies of troops on 
wheels— though this feature will not be ignored — as to de- 
velop the adaptability of the bicycle for extended service in 
courier and patrol duty, and reconnoitering. 
Lieutenant Moss has done good service m demonstrating
