Dr. Carver In England.
London Cor. Batti more San.
I do not remember ever to have heard
or read of any expert in the history of
firearms or fetes that has created the in
terest that Dr. V. F. Carver has done in
his exhibition of marksmanship before
the Prince of Wales and a number of the
nobilitv at Sandricham. and the favorite
country palatial residence of the prince. I
This great success of Dr. Carver has 1
marked him as the champion rifle-shot of
the whole world. What with Mr. Loril
lard's horse Parole winning the British
turf laurels, and Dr. Carver being the
decorated guest of the Prince of Wales,
all England's "sports" just-now have but
"Ameriea" as the prominent word upon
their lips. The Prince of Wales heard
of Dr. Carver's skill with the rifle, and in
order to satisfy himself that the state
ments were not exaggerated, caused his
private secretary and special equerry,
Captain Stephenson, to write to Dr. C
inviting him to the town residence of the
prince. Marlborougb House. The band
some and modest doctor responded to
this invitation in propria personal the
following day. tvery preliminary pre'
paration was made for him. and he was
received in right royal hospitality.
The group was composed of their royal
highnesses the Prince and Princess of
Wales and their children, Prince Albert
Victor, Pnnce George, and the young
Princesses Louis, Victoria and Maud, the
Princess of Hanover, the Duke of Cam
bridge, the Earl and Conntess of Kow
ney, Earl of Oxford, Viscount and Coun
tess Manderville and her sister, Miss
Izuaga (well Vnown in New York ami
"Washinsrton society). Sir William and
Lady Flokes, Sir Henry Keppel, the
Admiral-in-Cbief of the British fleet, the
Admiral the Hon. W. C. Glyn, the Hons
Bernal Osborne and Francis Knolbys,
Hiss Knolbvs. Capt. iludmay, the lead
ine spirit in marksmanship) , Gen. Sir
Ditrhton Probin. the Comptroller of the
Prince of Wales' household, Captain Ste
phenson. R. Ji Revs. t. Hervey and W
Eojrers. Chaplains to the Prince, and
many others whose names at this moment
1 cannot recall.
Cant. Stephenson performed the neces
sary introductions of these distinguished
personages to Dr. Carver, who was near
ly half an hour behind his time, a delay
unavoidable, but in an English subject I
may say unpardonable. The sun shone
out for the first time in several days; the
emerald turf of the lawn in its spring
time verdure and magnificent dimensions
made a superb carpet for the guests. Dr.
Carver appeared attired in a black vel
vet blouse, adorned with many glittering
gems and medals, the trophies of his
American triumphs, his gray sombrero
hat shading his long sunburn locks and
hazel eves of niercinfir power. TJniaue
and picturesque, tall and gallant looking
was this " citizen of the west " amidst
these grand nobles of the east. A buzz
of admiration went up as the doctor first
gracefully bowed to the princess and
ladies present, and then made his saluta
tions to the prince and his guests with a
frankness and simplicity of manner so
typical of prairie freedom that it at once
seemed to charm every one present
After mounting his excellent horse of
true Indian blood, Winnemucca, he
awaited the selection of the testing local
ity on the lawn; his quick eye scans the
deer in their galloping brigades beneath
the mighty oak and tall elms, and he sits
his beautiiul steed like a very monarch
of ease and power.
The Prince of Wales, walking up to
him, says pleasantly: " I have heard so
much of your unrivaled skill that I am
pleased to see yon here.
"And I am pleased to see you, too,
prince, responded the doctor.
" Will you first give the ladies here
present an evidence of what you can do?"
said the gallant prince.
This was so proposed, as the ladies had
pre-arranged engagements, which -were
dispensed with, however, for Dr. Carver's
more attractive entertainments, when his
first feats were seen.
The Prince of Wales held the timing
watch and kept score himself, manifest
ing a delighted interest in the perform
ance. Dr. Carver, for the first time be
fore an assemblage of persons, broke con
secutively, without the slightest inter'
rnption, 100 glass balls in 100 straight
shots of his rifle, following this feat at
once by breaking one hundred balls
with 100 smooth shots from a double
barreled shot-gun, both transactions
being simultaneous, or almost a unit.
with two different weapons under similar
distance and circumstances. The doctor
then, with his horse running at full
speed and he sitting on it like a pic
turesque statue, broke 5J8 out of w bails,
single and double. To prove his pre
cision Dr. Carver, at the Bpecial request
of the prince, broke 14 out of 16 balls in
fifteen seconds. He also discharged 15
out of 16 shots, or cartridges, in four
seconds, to prove rapidity in firing, the
sixteenth cartridge failing to go off.
After that came an exhibition rarely if
.ver seen bo fore. Hie doctor caused a
glass ball to be placed At a considerable
distance on the lawn. He fired at anil
nnder it, so that the communion of the
sod throws the ball up, and before it
falls the doctor again levels his rifle and
breaks the balls, in tbe most nnisneu
and artistia style. This bo excited tho
admiration of the Prince of Wales that,
turning to the Earl of Itowney, in a
most enthusiastic manner he exclaimed,
Bravo! I will bet 1000 that Dr. Car
ver will break one Hundred and utty
balls without error or intermission with
his rifle I " The doctor complied, though
none of the group took up the prince's
bet, luckily for them. I doubt if this
has ever been approached in the history
of shooting. Luncheon was then an
nounced and the royal party, tho guests
and Dr. Carver went to the palatial
dining room of 8andrighain. Though
the feast was identeons and the carviug
good, it could not excite the interest of
Carver on this occasion; so as soon as
the repast was was over the entire gronw
returned to the lawn, and our gallaut
American hero resumed his programme
by shooting at and breaking glass balls
thrown directly at him and across mm in
front, and turning and hitting others
thrown across and behind hiiu shooting
both right and left double allots at fall
ing bolls. Then he shot at a glass
thrown in the air, missing it the first
three shots, but loading the rifle three
times while the ball is in the air. aud
breaking it with the fourth shot before
it reached the ground. 110 snot mar
bles thrown indiscriminately in tbe air
by the guests. The young princes threw
np shillings, and tbe doctor bit uie en
tire sixteen without tbe slightest error or
false motion. In a word, there seemed
no end of variety in the fancy, plain,
scientillo and artistic shots that our won
derful markesman executed. All looked
on with amused interest, and even tne
princes of Wales desired that Dr. Car-
ver sbonid be presented to ner . upon
wuii'U uio avaaeu iuiu luavuy iuwuiki-iii
questions on American prairie shooting,
hunting, etc.
" How many buffalo have you killed in
a dav. Dr. Carver 1 "
To this the doctor responds, " 1 nave
shot a hundred in one day, madam."
The vounir princes then asked iermis-
sion to mount the doctor's horse Winne
mucca, and wanted to know the meaning
and derivation of the name.
He gave correct information to all
their inquiries, and at the same time
laughingly enjoyed their curiosity and
surprise. The prince of Wales then
selected one or. Dr. Carvers rules and
shot with an accuracy that aroused the
American's expressions of approval
" You shoot well, prince. '
No. it is your rifle: for who could
shoot well after beholding your wonder
ful exploits. Dr. Carver? "
" ill you do me the honor to accept
my rifle ? says the doctor.
It is trraciounlv accepted. The prince
then says he will present the doctor with
a souvenir of his appreciation of the re
markable skill he bad exhibited.
After expressing his desire that Dr.
Carver should sptear at Wimbledon this
coming July and shoot before tho great
shots of the kingdom, then tbe prince
gave some instructions to the effect to
Captain Mildmay, and the doctor that he
would wait until he changed his costume
and bode lam good-bye far the present.
In about twenty minutes the doctor re
turned, when all warmly 'thanked him
for the pleasure he had afforded them,
and tbe company tben lUsjjersea.

plants grown irom a buabel of seed will
produce as large a crop as the plants

Ballroad Travel
When you get to the station hunt up
the agent and ask him what time the
next train goes. Never mind about tell
ing him which way. for he can ask you
that. It will show whether he is paying
any attention to your question. Then
ask him what time all the other trains
come, just to see if he knows. If you
think of it, ask him if they stop, if they
are freight or passenger, and other little
things you can think of. For you know
he gets paid for answering questions. It
doesn't matter whether you intend riding
on the train or not. If you are tired, go
and sit down, but do not rest longer than
is necessary, for you have not inquired
if the rood is going to chance time soon.
and what time the train is likely to get
l. iU t .11 r P .
wiuuu I'll bua new uuru. ASK mm Wllfll
time the trains run by on his rpad, and
how much faster that is than Chicago
time, for he knows, and if he does not
tell it is because he is uncivil. Just aa
the train is coming, and the ticket agent
is closing his ticket window to go out to
the train, rush up and tell him you want
a ticKet. von 1 say anytmng about where
you want to go. See how near he can
gaess at it. Give him a 810 bill, and
after he has hurried up to tret out his
change box, if there is any silver among
it, sav to mm, xiere, 1 guess 1 Have
the change," for this is the way to find
out his disposition. Then it is a good
time to tell him that you have a trunk to
check. Tbe world was not made in a
day, and what's the use of being in a
hurry, you know ? Put your ticket in
your pocket-book, and button two or
three coats over your pocket. Don't
make a move to get it ready for the con
ductor tor ne may miss you, and you
may be that much ahead. Then he has
lots of time to wait, but if he hasn't its
not your fault. During your trip ask the
conductor all the questions you asked the
agent, for perhaps the agent has lied to
you about some of them. If the conduc
tor answers you short in reply to any of
your questions, it is because he is mad
at your buying a ticket. He wanted you
to pay to him so he could knock down
the money for they all steal you know.

of a nation's resources by tlis number of

proceods to show some of the character
istics of American sheep husbandry. He
stated that the sheep of the United States
consist, first, of what are called native
sheep: second, dosoendents from Im
proved English races; third, the Mexican
sheep found In Texas, New Mexico, Colo
rado and California : fourth, the merino
sheep, and crosses of thst breed with the
three preceuiitg races, ine merinos con
stitute the principal and characteristic
race of the United mates ; and this Is the
most Important met in the enumeration
of our resources for sheep husbandry and
the wool manuructure. i'.uuiaiid lias no
merinos, except In her colonic. Hussia

9.000.000. Tho merinos and grades in the

wool is for clothlna what wheat Is for

merino wool is the greatest boon the
world has received from tho animal king'
