CHARLES H. LOOMS SAYS

he would like to know how much ad- vertising a man must do to become personally known to his neighbors and the public. He thinks New Haven must be growing for, although he advertises largely, there arescstill people who know his business we'll but who do not know him personally. He says he has been in the piano business in the same vicinity for nearly forty years, yet, re- |cently he went into a store within a block of his own store to order some goods and the clerk asked him, What is your name, please?" He says he came on the train from New York the other day and a New Haven man in the same seat with him inquired of him Are you still working for Loomis ?'
 He says he was with his father, the late c. M. Loomis, from 1865 to 1872 in the store number S19 Chapel street, where Miss Foley's millinery store now lis, then the number was 299 Chapel street. Then in 1872, he with his fa-. ther, moved to Loomis' Temple of Mu- sic, corner of Orange and Center streets, where Brown & Durham now are and was there 1T years; and in. 1889 moved to s33 Chapel street. where he succeeded c. M. I1oomis' Sons and has been in this location ever since. And when his store Is ren1odeled, which is now in progress, will have the hand somest piano and music store in the New England states. Mir. Loomis says that sometimes when at night he goes to the post office the r1ackmen at the corner of Church and Center streets ac- cost him with "Good evening, doctor, :" and the policemen on the streets some- times say Good evening, professor. :" MT. Loomis says he is probably doing the largest music business in New Ha- ven but he wonders how much more 1t would cost in advertising to have everybody know that the man with the mustache and side whiskers and wear ing eye glasses is not 8 doctor or pro- lessor, but Charles H. Loomis the piano dealer, of SsS Chapel street, and nowhere else.

 A draft of articles of association has been drawn up by committee headed by Attorney James H. Webb. This draft will be presented for considera- ton at to-night's meeting which may be the last to be held in Whitneyville, as 1t is the intention of the Whitney, vile members to do all in their power Ito induce men of prominence to inter est themselves so that they will event. |ually fill the offices of the organiza- |tion, and give it weight and stability.

 FIELD TRIAL QUALIFICATIONS.
 The following from 'sThe American Field" of September 3. win interest many hereabouts:
 Wheeling, w. Va.
 Editor American Field:-Field trial qualifications. as stated in last weeks American Field by Judge c. N. Post, meets the general commendation of all true lovers of high-elass bird dog. Please observe that the field trials of 1904 are not up to former years in en- tries. In knocking around among own CTS of high-class dogs, sportsmen who have been patrons of field trials are los ing interest. Why? sSinply from the fact that too many dogs are placed in field trials on speed and range, many of he winners recseiving as much as ninety per cent. for speed and range, leaving ten per cent for bird instinct. No wonder real sportsman gets dis gusted. Speed and range are most es- sential, but of no value to bird dog without bird instinct. Bird work is the whole show.
 Why are the field trials drifting thus? think can answer for a good deal of 1t. A few leading field trial handlers have been for some years creating the same difference between field trial dogs and first-elass shooting dogs as there Is between racehorse and agentle- mans driving horse. The application will never be adopted by the real sportsman; 1t never should be. The two are not of a kind.
 The real sportsman wants real bird dogs, and It is not necessary to go into detail to explain what a real bird dog is, the sportsmen know. and to keep up the standard and popularity of field trials just let the real bird dogs win on their own merits as bird dogs, and you will get all the boys back into the sport
 Last season felt several handlers on the subject at the trials. Tn comment ing on the merits of many dogs, the following answers came from several; He would make a grand shooting dog!" "A high-class shooting dog, but lacks field trial class"
 I we'll recall handler with a brace of field trial winners he was taking out for run. They went like two streaks straight away for at least three-fourths of a mile. A ''high-cIass shooting dog (so-called by the professional field ham dler) was slipped about two minutes later. Working hard and fast, but quartering his ground, he found and pointed three bevies within half mile, and If you would measure the actual distance or ground covered, the quar- tering dog covered as much in the same time as did the straight aways. Never any trouble with his speed and range. If necessary to go to the next county to find birds he went, but what was the use of going to the next county and leaving more birds at home. The pro- fessional would answer he wanted those in his own county to work his Derbys on, and this Is why he encour- aged his All-Age dogs (coursers) to bolt to the next county
 We must have speed and range, but, MT. Judge, please don't place dog un- Qess it has showed bird sense with 1t, and you will revive the sportsman's in- terest in field trials, Instead of few owners and lot of country boys you will have good following at the trials of real sportsmen who are there to see the sport.
