For_the benofitof those who think the keonel club bench show is to be a local affair it is stated here that such is nov the case. The beneh show dates, October 25 to 28, are being publistied weckly in five of the leading sporting papers 1 the Unitea States and the secretary of tho club has received applications from handiers 1n seven different states for premium lists and assurances that their dogs will be eutered for this show. 1 Check Must Go —To the Sporting Editor of Tue Be: Among tho many pecple who drive their own carriage in this city, how sasy It is to pick out tho heartless ones by ine way they use that soascless contrivance ~the overhead check. It is hard to determine for what purpose 1t was ever iuvented. Not for boauty, cer- tainly | For who can think that the natural grace of a horse is enhanced by curving his neck upward iustead of downward! It con- not have been for comfort, for who has not pitied the poor creature as he stumbles along with his nose bigh in the air, jerking his head from side to side in & vain endeavor to free himself from the hurtful check that gives him so much pam. How long could any man endure such torture even without a load to draw! It is observable that the men who own the most valuaole horses are the ones who donot allow thelr animals to suffer from this ubuse. Their couchmen aund hostlers are chosen for their intelligence, and an intelligent man is usually & bumane one. But'in many cases where only one horse s owned, the care of it is given into the hands of somo ignoraut boy, or 1ts owaor give it slip-shod and indifferent care that at once marks him as bewig, Lo say tho least, lacking in humanity. It 18 the busiuess of the humano society to attend o such cases. Therofore, le each one report to that socioty the namos of those abusing their horses by tho tight overhead check. Can thero not be a particular law enacted forbidding the use of the overnead oheck{ ‘This has been aone in other cities, Why not. in Omahat 2. G.

And the beauty of it is the magnutes haven’t been compelled to call in the Pinkertons. Cincinnati in the first season led every city 1 the lengue in attendance. Tho old Queen City hus nevor turned out such crowds as those that have cheered Caplain Comiskey’s pets in tneir strugzlo for su- premacy Much has been said avout Boston’s piichers, but itis not remembered that the phenominal fielding of Long, Nash, Duffy, Tucker and McCarthy made the pitchers strong. ‘The best pitchers show up wealk when poozly supported. Parrait. Anson’s new thivd baseman, wears a broad grin that neverloses any of its longi- wdinosity. Ho has the appearance of being on good torms xith himself. This is the kind of ballplavers that receive encourage- ment from the average crank. Clausen, the pitcher Mr. Von der Ahe hoped to' et, and who the Louisvilles secured, won seventeen straight games and lost, four for Coiumbus in tho first champio ship season. Stephens did almost as well, winning fifteen and losing eight. It therd is one tning move than anothor which delizhts the soul of Danuy Richardson it is that Washington finished abead of New York. Of course Danny admits that it would be better for all hands if New York had a loading team, but it is baim to know that Lis toam ouipointea his old jov Clarence Duval, Uncle Anson's old mas- cotte, was fata'ly hurt on the Chicago & Alton near Bloomington. He was usleep on the track, and & compauion named John Allon was instantly kiiled. ‘I'he littlo colored Doy was ruiued by the trip around the worla and has been lazy ana worthless ever since. Unless Captain Pfeffor can get some 1dea of base running in the hoads of the Colonels tho Louisvilles will never agam oceupy a high place in the race. Tom Brown is the only first cinss base runner on the team, Tho remainder of the players, with the excaption of Jenuings, do the tiod-to.the-stake uct every time they reach a base. Fielding can be taught, but heavy hitting butsmen, like poets, are born, not wade. 1t 18 impossiblo to teach an old horso new tricks, and it is just as impossible to make a good batsman out of a_player unless he is a natural born mitter, This is easily proven by the fact that the men who now lead tho league have always been hard hitters since they first camo into the business, What under the sun the opponents of & double champiouship season can find that is distasterul is pastall discovery. The most prejudiced base ball crenk cannot help but view with a great deal of satisfaction tne cuance every toam has (o bettor its stand- ing and possibly win out with a good lead. From now on, instead of bemg a pokoy old adwr, runuing in a rut, the race for the champlonship will be nlled with renewed interest. Oue of the most peculiar plays ever scen was made 1n o recent Baltimore-Cloveland gamo by Shoch nod M v in tho eightn, With MeAleer on second O'Connor hita fiy to short couter. Shoch got undor it and Me- Graw was not far away. The shortstop caught tho ball butit boundea out of his hand. There was a yoil of joy in the stand, but it came 1o oarly. MeGraw made a dive for tho ball and before it roached the ground had caught it. 1t was a orilliant and st the same timo lucky play. Six of tha plavers wno have worn the red and battied for Ciucinuati 1o the aays of old are nov: in harsess in the North Pacifie lengue. Singularly enough two who played 1 tho outfield hevd are trying their hand at first buso. “Lefty” Marr i at that corner for Spokano ana Gooree ‘Teveau is with Port- land in tne same wield role, Ollie Board is captain of the Spokaues, who are second in the race, and Joe Strauss, who once played a briet engagement with Ciucinnati, 13 at third, Both Clarence “Kid” Baldwin and Willie Mains ara with Portlund, Along the Home Streteh, Starter Swizart goes to Friena, Monduay to start the races.

A man in the lowa penitentiary named Jamos McDonald has written a lotter to Governor Boyd saring that the horse disease which is prevalont in some parts of this stato is not mala die du_coit. Mr. McDonald, whose other namo is No. 5,320, says ho knows what ho 1s talking about, and probably he does, as he has had some experience with horses, the approvriation_of other people’s norses to his own use befifi the cause of him occupying his present position, and that the disease is spread b ter from diseased hovses, This matter, in striking the aw in small, hard, poisonous specks, is blown away and forms taken up by grains and grasses which become poisoned. He states that 95 per cent of the Biflicted antmals can bo cured and offered to furnish a receiptif the gov- crnor would provide him with the drugs.

The open season, however, aoes not open up until Sep- tember 1. Owing to the thunder shower Jast Thurs- day atternoon the Bemis Park Gun club did not hold their regular monthly shoot. They will shoot next Thursday, a grand all-round shioot besides the club rup, in which live birds will be used. A Sunday or two ago I made mention of reity of woodcock 1 this etato, to h an anonymous correspondent takes cption, Iua orief note ho says: *I re- member the time, not more than ten years ago, when 2ood Cock shooting coula bo of taied not six milos from Omaba. I have shot them ‘myself, as they nave slways been my favorite game. L never learned to under- stand the bird, however, although 1 have studied them hard. As you have probavly nad some experience with them, can’t you give us @ hitlo information tirough Tie Beet 1will ada this much: I have talked with sovesal oldgunners about the city and they suy the day never existed whon any- thing like a good bng of woodeock could bo made hore. Billy Nuson, who hus boen hunt- ing sud shooting off and ou for fifteen or six- teen years in this vicinity and who is a close observer aund u well posted sportsman, has only bagged four woodcock in all that time aud seen provably as many more. He knows, now, the haunts of one old bird, whicih ho and other guuners have futilely endcavorad 10 bring to bag for several years, but says he wouldn't know where to lools for anotner. ‘'he woodcock, on accouat of its solitary lifo during most of the year, is 4 bard bird to Some of 1ts most peculiar and inter- esting habits scom to have escaped the ob- servation of the uaturalists, who have bad Littlo opportunity to wateh thom in their na- tive haunts. I tho western states tuoir feeding grounds avo, as a rule, in low, wet ! iands that are covered with o thick grow/th of bushes aud swamp grasses, recdering it almost 1mpossible to seo them whon they are on the ground. In the wast, however, es- pecially in the hilly parts, I have found them feeding in the comparatively oven woods, where I had littie trouble in seelng thom and maklug note of their move- monts, Early in April the woodcocks arrive in the sheltered valioys of southern Ohio and scattor themselves wideiy fu pairs to spend the nesting scason. The male bird has the habit of rising spirally iu the early morning light, somotimes higher than vhe tree tops, aud bulancing bimself in the air, utteriog o low, drouing sound, which may bo heard tw a considerable distance, Thisis bis ecall to bis wate, and when he fails the fomalo is 5uro to bo near the spot. The birds play in a very droll fashion, running rouud and round cach othor in o' small cirelo on - the ground, their feathers ruffled, delicately lifted, and their long bills pointing directly upward, thew beads resting upon their dacks. Sometimes they hop ou opa foot, holding the other at an odd wngle as if it wero broken, which gives a very comical 8- pearance, the male in the meanwnilo uttoring # low murmuring sound. The fomale bird often carries her youug between her foet when flylug, and 1 have seen the male bird do this. One singular babiv of woodeocks, whick I bave never seen noted by oraitholo- gists, 13 that both male and female sit upon the uest at the same time while incubatin if the weather is cold and wel.
