Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Tune 15.—Ten shooters were 
game enough to come out and face a rainstorm accom¬ 
panied by a strong wind from the east, at the Jersey 
City Gun Club to-day, and while conditions were such as 
to keep down scores, everyone enjoyed a good after¬ 
noon’s sport just the same. State champion B. M. 
Shanley, Jr., of Newark, a member of our club, was 
out and set such a hot pace for the rest of us that we all 
got dizzy trying to keep up, and when it was all over 
he had an average of 85 per cent, for the day, which was 
traveling right along, considering the day. W. Hassin- 
ger, also of Newark, was second with 83 per cent., and 
old reliable Dave Engle captured the third 
average of 82 per cent. The scores follow:

Conde Gun Club.

shooters being on the grounds. High gun was J. E. 
Wilson with 206 out of 220; second, F. F. Slocum, 204; 
third, J. R. White, 198. The scores: 
Are We Breeding Usefulness out of 
Our Dogs? 
Marcel Boulenger writes in the London 
Field: “The man who would talk of coursing 
and field trials to any of those individuals who 
organize dog shows or to those well known 
specialists who breed what is generally known 
as show dogs, or even to one of the redoubt¬ 
able judges who apportion prizes and honor¬ 
able mentions, finds very little encouragement. 
Far better not to mention in their presence any 
practical test, such as getting a sheep dog to 
guide and look after a flock of sheep, a police 
dog to be after evildoers, a sporting dog to 
retrieve game, a greyhound to pursue hares, a 
fox terrier to catch rats or a bull dog to guard 
a house; some habitues of the dog shows are 
fond of sneering at the idea of such sporting 
trials. The point they profess to be interested 
in is what they call the beauty of a dog, and 
thus beauty has become to them a definable, 
measurable and weighable quantity, according 
to an invariable standard, established once for 
all; but what is one to understand by the beauty 
of a dog? Who has determined it? Who has 
established the standard of such single breed? 
Whose authoritative advice, whose master taste 
has been the guiding principle?” 
Sportsmen have found out that certain con¬ 
formations enable an animal to do a certain 
thing better than any other one. Thus it will 
be seen the sportsman’s notions about the shape 
of a dog are well founded. His decisions are 
not accidents: he does not guess, he knows. 
Where has he learned it all? During field 
trials, on the coursing ground, in public open 
air tests, on flat country, on the hills or in the 
woods. The perfect type of each breed has 
been fixed after long deliberations, and the dog 
who has been found the best in public trials is 
also the most beautiful for the true sportsman. 
The standards of beauty in Paris, in London 
and in Berlin, are quite different. For instance, 
judges in Paris prefer the tail hair rather long, 
the London judges only admit short-haired tails 
and the Berlin judges only appreciate exces¬ 
sively long hair. If, however, public sporting 
trials were the guiding principle in the judging 
of dogs, an admirable certainty results. If a 
certain dog works better than his competitors 
he is the finest of them, all no matter in what 
country he may happen to be. 
Mr. Boulenger finishes by saying that, al¬ 
though dog shows are undoubtedly good fun, 
the beauty of a breed is established, maintained 
and controlled by public sporting trials only. 
Show judges are liable to errors, too impres¬ 
sionable and capable of being influenced by out¬ 
side considerations.
