be had here at $ 50 . The mechanism of the Fox gun is of the 
simplest character, and must make an arm perfectly close fit- 
tlD S ™ breech. The American Arms Company, from the 
crowded condition of their office, seemed to be doing an ex- 
cellent business. The Fox gun is finding purchasers as far 
off as 1 okohama, some orders from Japan having been traced 
to their advertisement in this paper. 
Whether it was owing to the concourse of sportsmen brought 
to Boston by the Kennel Club, or that the opening of the shoot- 
ing and angling season was fast approaching, all the establish- 
ments dealing in sportsmen’s goods seemed to be doing a good 
business. From personal observation wo are of the opinion 
that the most fastidious of purchasers can be fully satisfied 
with not only the quality of the goods, but the reasonable 
prices we found m Boston.

The Praotio/l Kennel Guide, With Plain Introductions 
n°fi* t K K ^ Qr ? nd Breed Dogs for Pleasure, Show and 
Profit, by Gordon Stables, M. D., C. M., It. N. Cassel 
Petter & Galpin, London, Paris and New York. ’ 
No one In this country can have read the Live Stock Journal and Fan- 
cier S Gazette without having become Interested In the capital articles 
due to Gordon Stables. There are all kinds of atyles adopted by those 
who write on dogs. Heaven save us from the perusal of those ponder- 
ous, massive and pretentious articles, In which a dog is treated in the 
same literary style as if he were a planet. Gordon Stables laughs at such 
heavy concerns. What he teaches you about a dog, and what to do 
with him, Is given In a light, easy, conversational manner. There is a 
pleasant style about Dr. Gordon Stables’ book, which we wish could 
find more Imitators. The volume under review is not tho least wanting 
in thoroughness, as may be seen by its nineteen chapters and the Index. 
The Idea of the book Is, that It shall not only inculcate a love for the 
dog, but that by its perusal, a gentleman can become a fancier, can 
earn bow to select and breed dogs, and having good dogs, how he can 
best show them. A chapter, the fifth, on the points of dogs, might be 
read with advantage by many of our Judges. The chapter on the sup- 
posed origin of the different breeds, with a description of the bones of 
the skeleton, 1 b likely to set at rest many a mooted point. As in all 
T‘!!! W , hlCh the W ° rI " 18 famIllar ’ a number of cant woids (shall 
we offend the dog, and call it slang terms 7 ) have entered the canine 
g ossary. How many people are there who know whai the haw of a 
St. Bernard is? or the stop of a bulldog, or the sting of a polnter 7 
"YaneVdoo'Mq 7 ° U ^ 1Ves a setof word8 ' M'l we suppose what a 
Yaller dog is Is we!) known all over the United States as a term of 
reproach of the sanguc azulot a dog. Dr. Stables gives quite thoroughly 
the reasons for dividing points into two catalogues, and the “wbete- 
fore of It he describes fully. We often have discussions In our own 
Journal as to colors of dogs, and the author gives authority to the well- 
known statement of certain shades of coats following peculiar breeds 
As to the taste In colors, that, of course, Is another thlDg, and the old 
\ De rCCQr8 l<> Dr ’ Stab,ea - The author, who 
certainly has had the fullest experience In buying dogs, devotes partlc- 
w!°? ? ® Ub3ect ’ aml has 8 ca P ltal chapter on this topic, 
called, Hints About Purchasing Dogs." ©f course, never buy “a pig 
in a poke." Yet how many people do Just this kind of thing, and get a 
mongrel for the price of a prize dog, good, as the author states, “for 
the market value of the hide, minus the value of the rope you buy to 
hang him.’ Beware of sharpers ” is the conclusion of this chapter. 
Dr. btables explodes ihe Idea which one often sees in advertisements 
which runs somewhat as follows : “The champion dog So-and- 8 o, will 
serve a limited number of bitches." it is the limited at which we take 
exception. There may be some conscientious owners of stud dogs 
both at home and abroad, who will refuse a man’s fifty dollars or ton 
guineas for the use of their dog, but such singularly prudent people 
are very rare. Says Dr. Stables: •• i candidly confess I never sent a 
bitch away from my kennel unserved, and never sent back a check 
e ther, except twice. In one cose the bitch was diseased ; in the other, 
she had by accident already formed an attachment to a dog of meaner

(a) The Vienna Gambit Is one of Herr Stelnltz’ favorite openings and 
ho has discovered numerous Ingenious ways of carrying on the attack 
notably the remarkable variation called Ihe “ Stelnltz Gambit " 
(b) Black Judiciously declines the gambit. 
(c) K-K B 3 is better. The move In the text allows tho first player to 
n the Kt with advantage. 
(d) This move savors too much of lost tlmo. R-K sq looks preferablo. 
(<) Black has a very bad game, perhaps an Irrotrlevablo one ; still, it 
would have been better to have taken with tho Q. 
(/) Surely P tks P would have been better.
