The squad- ron’s home is conceded by all who have had the pleasure of spending a few hours within its walls as being as well appointed as the best club rooms in Ameri- ca.

THE PEERLESS CIBOU, wildly scream- ing from the bow and tumbl- ing waters flood- ing the scup- pers, while the white - sheeted craft plunges bravely out into the broad At- lantic. There are nine miles of open bay be- fore the nearest headlands are left behind, and it is seldom that even the hard- iest sailor can cover this out- side course without reefing his big’ sails. To the more timid of the yachtsmen, and particularly the ladies, the in- ner course Of the broad expanse of river offers tempting allur- ment, and every Saturday after- noon during the SHAKING OUT THE SPINNAKERS., summer season, the harbor is dotted with the pleasure craft sailing the racing sche- dule of the season’s series. The Royal Cape Breton Yacht Club was organized in 1899, and during the few years it has been in existence the boats of the fleet have brought home some of the very best trophies of- fered for com- petition in the sailing world of Eastern Canada. The first not- able victory won by the squadron was when the clipper boat Cibou, design- ed by Herrick K. Duggan, and commanded by the late Shirley Davidson, of Montreal, was sent to Halifax THE ST. LAWRENCE, SEWANHAKA CUP DEFENCE. in the summer of 1901,and, pitted against the best yachts in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, fairly ran away with the the Prince of Wales and the Wenonah trophies. In 1902, the Cibou was shipped to St. John N. B. and entered in the race for the Coronation Cup,atrophy do- nated by Com- modore Thomp- son, of the Royal Kennebecasis Yacht “Galab? Again, victory perched on the banner of the fleet Sydney rep- resentative and the valued piece of silverware, the pride of St. John yachtsmen, was taken away to the city by the sea. Courtesy of G. F. Wheeler. HOME OF THE ROYAL CAPE In 1903 the Cibou defended the Coro- nation cup against the Glencairn, a Dug- gan design, owned by a member of the St. John Yacht Club, winning her races hand- ily, and in 1904 she vanquished Cabot, a Prince Edward Island boat that was sent across the strait to lift the cup. The hand of the man that held the tiller and piloted the Cibou to victory in all her races, that of thelate Shirley Davidson, isstilledin death ; but the memory of the best sailor that over trod the deck of any craft will long remain green in the memory of those who wat- ched the master manoeuvre his craft into the premier _ posi- tion. In 1905 the Cibou was sold to: win. Axel Johnson, of Nor- way, and regret jie ROSSHECGLORTA: BRETON YACHT SQUADRON, was general that the owners had seen fit to send the good little craft out of the country. For three years there were no contests for the trophy. In 1906 Mr. Carruth, a native of Boston, who hasa summer home at Baddeck, on the Bras d’Or Lakes, challenged with his tast sloop Micmac, a design from a model by Arthur Benning, the American naval architect. Following a ser- ies of races by boats owned in Sydney the Yen- dys, owned and designed by Herrick K. Dug- gan, was chosen to defend the cup, which she did gallantly, winning the first three races. It is expected that Mr. Carruth will challenge again this season. The Yendys is a min- iature of the 206 American cup defenders, twenty-seven feet on the water line and forty feet over all. The building of such a craft has revived the oft-talked of Canadian chal- lenge for the America cup. Mr. Dug- gan has made a model of a_ninety-footer off the same model as the Yendys, which is at present hung on the walls of the library of Mr. James Ross, President of the Dominion Coal Company, at his sum- mer residence here in Sydney. It might be, that if suffh- cent funds were forthcoming, Mr. Duggan could beinduced to have a boat constructed off a model of his to represent Cana- . daina race for the Internation- al trophy. The blue rib- bon of Maritime waters, the prize most eag- erly sought after by Provincial yachtsmen is the Prince of Wales’ Cup, donated by His Gracious Majesty King Edward VII when he was heir apparent to the throne of England, to the Nova _ Scotia Yacht Squadron of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Under the conditions ot the deed of gift this trophy must always be sailed for in Halifax waters, the club winning the cup being obliged to send it back at the end of twelve months to the capital squadron. For several years the Halifax sailors were not called upon to defend the treas- ured silverware, until finally a Sydney yacht, the Gloria owned by Mr. J. K. L. Ross was sent to the Garrison City and easily lifted the coveted trophy. In 1906 the Gloria again went to Halifax to de- Courtesy of Jimmy Kendall. SHIRLEY DAVIDSON. ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA fend her title, and finished in third posi- tion. The race for the cup that season was an International event, the Sydney yacht being pitted against the two fast- est racing schooners in America, the Elmina and Corona, which finished in first and second places. The same year the Gloria annexed the Shelbourne and Minot cups, winning the two races by large margins. Another craft owned and sailed in Sydney waters forthepast three or four years, that enjoys a Dominion wide reputation is the St. Lawrence which defended the Sewanhaka cup in 1904, This speedy son- der boat is a bit behind the form she showed in those memor- able Fmatches, but with a good man at the til- ler, “titjevre are very few boats in her class in these waters that can sailoverthe finish lineahead of her. Last summer the three big yacht squadrons of Nova Scotia amalgamated for a cruise to be held in July, but the Domin- ion Coal- Domin- Steel trial intervened andas many of the yachtsmen were personally interested in | the litigation the trip was called off. The program, however, will be carried out this season. The Sydney fleet aftera sail through the lower half of the beauti- ful Bras d’Or Lakes to Baddeck, will join forces with the Bras d’Or Squadron and continue the cruise to St. Peter’s Channel, where they are scheduled to meet the yachts of the Royal Nova Scotia YENDYS, CORONATION CUP HOLDER. Yacht Squadron. The flotilla will then return to Baddeck. where two day’s rac- ing will be held, and thence to Sydney where the sailors have arranged to hold high carnival for a week. As an escort to the flotilla of yachts, a fleet of twenty-one, motor boats will make the trip through the Bras d’Or Lakes. It is claimed by the followers of the, “chu” “chu craft in this city that Sydney can _ boast at least of two boats of this description that can give their back-wash to any similar vessel moving in Maritime wa- ters. The ‘‘Buzz” owned by Mr. A. D. Igraham, has a registered speed of twenty HERRICK K. DUGGAN IS SITTING DOWN knots an hour, and is the acknowledged king of the motor craft on the local har- bor. The beauties of the Bras d’Or Lakes have been sung in song and legend, from the time when the wild and unturtor- ed Micmac camped along their silvery, sandy shores, down to the present day, when the tourist from every land and clime journey to this health-giving country to while . away the sum- mer vacation hours in the most salubrious climate on the American con- tinent. Leaving Syd- ney the yachts will cruise around = Cran- berry Head, dis- tant about nine miles from the ON LEFT. home quarters, 208 and reach across the Atlantic some six miles to the opening of the lakes. The entrance is made through a nar- row Gut, one hundred and fifty yards wide, through which the tide runs at whirlpool pace, reaching at half flood be- tween sixteen and twenty miles an hour. When the wind and tide are both run- ning out, it is one of the prettiest sights imaginable to watch either one or more boats beat in through the narrow channel. The flying seas drive clean over the deck and half way up the mast, drenching those sailors who have the temerity to venture in when such conditions exist. Having negotiated this tossing section of water, however, the yachtsman is more than repaid for the dangers he has risked when he beholds the magnificent panoroma of land and water that is spread before him. On theone side mountainous hills clothed with birch, spruce, maple, ashandnumber- less others of the tree species, swathe the almost precipitous hillsides with a crown of green that in the perspective looks like avast emerald set with mightyirregularity between the blue vault of heaven and the shimmering sea _ below. Across the water on the other shore, an altogether different order prevails. Here the magic hand of the planter is in evidence. Large tracts of farm land of therichest and most profitable kind run from the ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA shore far back into the country, and the merry songs of the planters and the women in the fields form a fitting accom- paniment to a scene of Nature at its best, that must be seen and heard before being half appreciated The run to beautiful Baddeck, ‘‘The Pearl of the Lakes’? made famous by the late Charles Dudley Warner in ‘‘Baddeck and that sort of thing” is some sixty miles from the entrance and it is the en- thusiastic opinion of every person who has enjoyed the sail, that the scenery and general environment far excel the beaut- ies of the famous lakes of Switzerland or the gloomy grandeur of the Fjords of Norway. The remainder of the up-river voyage to St. Peters is about forty miles, and is but a continuation of the pleasant scenes through which the yachts have already passed.

The Mountain Goat Breeding in Captivity. N May twentieth, 1908, the first Rocky Mountain Goat ever bred in captivity was born in New York Zoological Park. Its parents were brought from British Columbia by Direc- tor Hornady in November 1905, with three other specimens. All five were born in May 1905, and were captured in the mountains north of Fort Steele. Since the arrival of the little herd in New York, all its members have been maintained in excellent health. They are fed on very clean crushed oats (in the hull), sliced carrots and potatoes, an occasional apple and all the clover hay they caneat. There are three adult males and two females, and they have been given three large corrals and a rus- tic barn in the southwestern corner of the Park. For amusement and excercise they climb all over the roof of the barn, and spend much time aloft. Although very level-headed and calm in times of real danger; the Mountain Goat is shy of being handled, and petted and with nervous impatience flings itself away from an outstretchedjhand. One member of the herd will permit their keep- er to touch it. Although they are not quarrelsome toward each other, they were so free in prodding each other with their skewer-like horns it was necessary to THE FIRST ROCKY MOUNTAIN GOAT BRED IN CAPTIVITY. saw off an inch from each horn tip. Quite a number of goats have come in- to captivity, but very tew have survived longer than a few months. The climatic conditions of the Atlantic coast region have carried off eight other goats of our acquaintance in two years or less, and until now it has been doubted whether it were possible to acclimatize the species onthe Atlantic coast, and maintain it in health and vigor up to breeding point. For this reason, the news of the birth in the New York herd will be hailed with delight by all sportsmeu and nature- lovers. The period of gestation was from No- vember twenty-fifth, 1907 to May twen- tieth, 1908, or four days less than six months. The kid now in the public eye was born at three a.m. At three-ten it arose to its feet; by three-thirty it was jumping about the stall, and climbing up- on its mother’s back, as she lay upon the straw. It nursed for the first time at three-twenty. Two days after birth it was thirteen and a half inches high at the shoulders and weighed seven and a quar- ter pounds. Of course its pelage is pure white, and like nearly all young hoofed animals its eyes now are practically black. It is very strong and capable, and seems to take a very hopeful view of life. In sex it is male, and it has been christened ‘*Phillip’,—for reasons that every goat- hunter will understand. When it sucks it stands directly under 210 its mother’s body, and makes a continu- ous whining noise like a young puppy. Frequently it butts the udder, and the mother patiently lifts a hind leg into the air to give her offspring the best possible Opportunity. The mother is a model of what wild-animal mothers should be,—a good milker, affectionate, solicitous for her offspring, but quiet and sensible to- ward the keepers. The Zoological Park goat herd is in ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. charge of Keeper Bernard McEnroe, who has managed it with great skill and suc- cess. He never permits any of the goats to get thoroughly rain-soaked, but shuts up the herd whenever its begins to rain. In New York it was quickly found that Oreamnos cannot endure the rain. The pelage soaks up water like a sponge, holds it for hours, and the animals have not sufficient vitality to endure it. Salmon Trout Fishing in Ontario. leasant recollections of P| this fine, sport linger in the memories of the Howlers Bowling Club, Brock- ville, Ont. By previous arrangement six of the members of this jolly club made a start the first fine Saturday evening in May for the fishing grounds at Charles- ton Lake. This lake is one of the many beautiful deep in- land lakes that water and drain the rich agricultural country just north of the Up- per St. Lawrence between Kingston and Brockville. Showers threatened at the Start but as the party had plenty of rubber clothing, a covered three seated spring waggon and a smart team they were not to be deterred. The twenty mile drive was made in very little behind the record and the popular resort known as Foster’s Hotel was reached about half past nine o’clock in the evening. It was not too late to complete all ar- rangements for guides, boats, bait, ete. and earnest entreaties were sent Heaven- ward for a fine day in the morning. The morning broke clear and cool with about two inches of snow covering the country. Under the rays of the warm sun the snow rapidly disappeared. After breakfast at half past eight a start was made for the lake, Only a stone’s throw from the hotel. ONE OF OUR FISH DINNERS. With two of the party ‘to each boat and under the guidance of an experienced oarsman the fishermen were spcedily in the waters of the salmon trout. Archer ~ Spinners, copper wires, and silk lines were - all at work with the aid of that’ beautiful - silver shade as bait. = At midday the party gathered on a pic- turesque spot for a well earned fish din- ner. Nine trout ranging from six to nine pounds were the result of the morn- ing’s work Through two holidays the hours passed thus with ever increasing luck and pleas- ant pastime. Cycling Through British Columbia. BY, S. D. H. POPE. Gm HE summer of 19061 was engaged a5 to take a position at Stuart Lake,a = place in the interior of British Columbia, remote from the ordinary mode of travel. There were two ways of reaching my destination that I could take. First, by taking the steamer up the coast for five hundred miles and then travelling on therivers and lakes ; or secondly by taking the train to Ashcroft and journey- four hundred miles by road andtrail. The latter route was the one I select- ed as being the shorter although the more ar- duous. Accordingly on the morning of August, the sixth I was on board the Cana- dian Pacific Railway steamer **Princess Vic- toria” bound to Vancouver, the commercial cap- ital of the Pro- vince. This city, the largest in British Colum- bia hasincreased in size in the last few years, with wonderful rapidity, claiming at present a population of 75,000. I left Vancouver at five p.m. on the Canadian Pacific train for Ashcroft. The train was crowded to its utmost capacity, some people going through to Montreal without a berth. Delay after delay occurred until finally we were two hours late, arriving in Ashcrott at half past three in the morning. This town, situated on the Thompson River and surrounded by huge sand hills, is the gateway to the Cariboo country. From here stages run to Parkville two DEEP CREEK : FIRST NIGHT OUT ON THE TRAIL— THIRTY-FIVE MILES. hundred and eighty miles north, the cen- tre of the mining district. These stages are certainly not the most comfortable vehicles to ride in, especially in hot weatherand I congratulated myself several times on my foresight in trusting to my bicycle. Having in my mind the reputation of Ashcroft for heat I strapped my belong- ings onthe wheel and “hit the trail.” After crossing the river I had a two mile hill to climb to get out. of “5 the Thompson val- ley. The road runs for twenty miles along the Bonaparte Creek through a valley that surpasses any- thing I have seen,once water is run through the ground. About nine mil- es from Ash- croft I passed a sight that is typical in the interior, viz. an Indian ran- cheree compos- ed of a dozen dirty houses hardly fit for a pig to live in anda large well-built Roman Catholic Church. About half past seven I reached the Hat Creek road house fourteen miles from Ashcroft where I stopped for break- fast. After following the valley for six miles further the road branches up among the hills. This is the beginning of Clin- ton hill. The hill itself would not have been bad but the road-gang had been re-gravelling in places with the result of making even walking very hard work. After three hours steady climbing the road be- came better enabling one to make better 212 time. The worst part of this long climb was the heat and also the tantalizing number of little lakes along the road. Fortunately I had been cautioned against the water before leaving Victoria and thus saved myself time and trouble. Clinton, I reached at noon. Here is the junction of the old Yale-Cariboo road with the new. The old road ran directly west from Clinton to the Fraser Lillooet and then followed the Fraser down to Yale at the foot of the Fraser Canon. This road from Yale to Lillooet was abandoned when the railroad appeared and is now impassable. Once I came across an old mile post one hundred and ninety-four miles from Yale, a relic of the gold ex- citement. I stayed all afternoon at Clinton on ac- count cf the heat. At half past six it was on > again. Shortly after leaving Clinton the road begins to climb out of ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA reverse of pleasant. Then I met my old friend, the dust, and stayed with him for an hour. Passing the Seventy Mile House I went on to the Seventy-four Mile House for lunch. The heat was intense but I wanted to make forty miles before night came. The next thirty miles lay over the hills. The road was not excep- tionally hilly but very rough. I passed the Eighty-three Mile House at three p. m. and started on over the summit. On the summit the road was fair and I made fairly good time for fifteen miles. Then there isa three mile drop into the Bridge Creek Valley. On this hill I made exceptionally good time but net owing to any effort on my part. “0! . Here [I found one of the most dismal looking places for a roadhouse viz": the one hun- dred Mile House.

Be- up, having a yond this the splendid road for five miles. Then I came on the dust and it demanded very persistently that I slacken speed and pro- ceed in a slow and dignified manner. I observed however, that it had no objec- tion to my waltzing from one side to the other. Then a hill tempted me and away I went. At the bottom ofthis hill wasa Stone, large and sharp, I have reason to believe. The stone is stillthere unless someone heavier than myself has made its acquaintance. A half hour's plowing through the dust brought me to the fifty- nine Mile House. The next morning came all too quick for me, but I managed to get off at nine o’clock. The road was rough and cut up with huge ruts making wheeling the country was more open and rolling. At the bottom of the hill I ran into a bunch of steers who thought it a good chance to hold an investigation on my steed. Pulling a gun from my bag I let one shot in the air, This stopped them for a short time and then I gave them another. This set them running towards a bend in the road and there wasarace to see who would bethere first. I won out and gradually left the steers behind. A little after dark I reached the one hundred and eleven Mile House. The next day’s ride was uneventful. The road led through the Lac la Hache valleyand along the beautiful lake of that name. For six miles the road was dusty, worse than further back and then it entered the CYCLING THROUGH BRITISH COLUMBIA woods. Here was a piece of road that I would not exchange for any city pave- ment. It was hard, smooth and just level enough for pleasure without being monotonous. For several miles the road led through the pines before enter- ing the open country. In the midst of the woods I came across a little log school house close by the lake. Several road-houses were _ scattered along the road and I remember one par- ticularly through the cows and refuse scattered onthe roadin front of the house. I had lunch at the one the hundred and thirty-two Mile House and then stop- ped at the one hundred and fifty Mile House for supper. After supper I mount- ed again thinking to‘make the Mountain House eight miles up the hill before dark. Abouta hundred yards from the hotel the roads parted and I turned to the left because it led down hill. I had a very pleas- ant ride for four miles to Wil- liams Lake where I turned around and walked back. he? next morning I was up and away at four a. m. After an eight mile walk up hill in the early hours of the morning one feels inclined for breakfast. Consequently I waited an hour for it rather than try to make the next house twenty miles away. This twenty miles was in splendid shape, a great part of the distance being down hill. About half past ten I reached the summit of the Fraser valley and could see far below me a very small river. Down the upper part of this hill I came on wings but the lower part demanded a more careful investigation. At the bottom of the hill is a small village, Soda Creek, where I stopped for lunch. From here a steam boat runs upto Quesnel, sixty miles, twice a week. HUDSON BAY POST 213 The road from here to Quesnel is very seldom travelled on during the summer months while the steamer is running. The freight wagons that pass over it in Spring, before the river opens, cut the road up considerably. I left Soda Creek at one p.m. and reached Alexandria a distance of thirty miles at four p. m, Here I played out for the time having in- dulged too frequently in the water by the roadside, Alexandria is the site of an old post of the Hudson Bay Company, Fort Alexandria, the buildings, which are still standing on the bank of the river. I stopped here fcr the night and the next morning, Sunday, I wheeled into Quesnel. Inthe days of the Cariboo gold excitement, this town, situated at the junction of the Quesnel River with the Fraser, was an active bustling place but now has dropped back until it is used simply as a distributing centre for places to the north and west. Here the wagon road ceases, the rest of the jour- ney being con- tinued over the Yukon Teleg- raph Trail, run- ning from Quesnel to Dawson. This trail was originally cut out by the Wes- tern Union Company before the Atlantic cable had been laid, the intention being to run the line through Alaska and across to Siberia. The work was aband- oned as soon as the Atlantic cable was seen to be a success. About seven years ago the Dominion Government took up the work and now operates the line to Dawson. Cabins are stationed about every forty miles with two men, operator and lineman, to each. Through the kindness and hospitality of these. men I was able to travel without the trouble and discomfort of carrying a pack. At Quesnel I met an operator who had ON FRASER LAKE. 214 been down on leave and was shortly re- turning to his station at Bobtail Lake. On Thursday we were ferried across the Fraser by an old Indian who told me very proudly that he had been Governor Sir James Douglas’s coachman. About ten o’clock we bade good bye to civiliza- tion and turned our faces to the wilder- ness. Fifty miles of trail lay in front of us before we reached the first telegraph cabin at Blackwater River. For ten miles the trail was wide and fairly good for a wheel. Then it dwindled in size, consisting mostly of sharp little rises and pitches. Dick was on ahead on his horse and coming up the hills he had the laugh on me but I gained on the descent every time. A little after noon we reached the sixteen mile re- fuge cabin where I had my first accident. Just as we were pull- ing intothecamp my back tire ex- ploded. This I mended while Dick prepared a lunch of bacon, | bread and tea. — After the horse had a rest we were Off a- gain, From here on the trail be- gan to. climb for about eight miles and to ride up a hill on a trail was an impossibility. However the trail was hard and smooth and we made fairly good time. On reach- ing the summit the scene was changed. The country was fairly level but simply covered with boulders. I ziggagged in between them very slowly. Here we met a couple of men going into Quesnel. One thing that struck me in this country was the behaviour of the horses when the wheel came in sight. They were just as frightened of it as the present horse is of the automobile. This was quite natural as my wheel was the first to be ridden over the trail. STONEY CREEK INDIAN VILLAGE ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA \ For the greater part of the journey the trail follows the hills, keeping out of the low ground in the valleys altogether. The boulders lasted for about five miles. Then we came on a level stretch of good hard trail in the midst of a clump of jack pines. Dick proposed a race and away we went although there was hardly room for both of us. The bicycle took the lead and kept it until the trail became .strewn with roots. Bouncing over these for a hundred yards soon put all thought of a race out of my head. Shortly after we rode into Deep Creek camping ground where the second refuge cabin is stationed, thirty-five miles out. While Dick picketed his horse ina nat- ural meadow near by I rust- led wood. Ina short time we had a good fire and theneagerly stood around and watched the kettle for fear it would boil too soon for our appeti- tes. Two slices of bacon, two slices of bread and tea ad lib was our order for supper, Then we pre- pared to make our bed by the fire but Nature objected and sent her watery minions to drive us into shelter. We slept in the cabin, that is when the mice were not running over us. About six a.m. both of us woke up but anyone who knows the custom in the North will also know that we didn’t get up then. It was after seven o’clock be- fore we finally made up our minds to tumble out. Outside of the cabin was a most dis- mal day, the rain coming down in a steady drizzle that promised to last all day. By eight o’clock we were ready to ‘‘hit the trail’ again. Needless to:say it IN NECHACO idk, WALLEY, AN IDEAL SPOT FOR DUCKS IN SEASON. CYCLING THROUGH BRITISH COLUMBIA. had not been improved by the night’s rain. Roots spread themselves in every conceivable direction across it, the deep- er spaces between them filled with water, the shallower composed of mud. At first I wheeled the bicycle along but soon became tired of that method of progression. Getting a good grip on the handle-bars, | mounted and struck out. It was dirty, wet work, bumping over the roots, splashing through the pools, ploughing through the mud first on one side of the trail and then on the other to dodge some large bunches of roots. After travelling like this for a mile | lost a nut off my front wheel but had the good fortune to pick itup ina mud puddle about a hundred yards back. It was then put : on ‘‘to stay.” About noon we caught up to an Indian pack train at the top of the pla- teau before de- cending to the Blackwater River. It is hard enough to pass a pack train on horse back but when one is mounted on a wheel, well to use a colloquial- ism, ‘‘there is going to be something do- ing.” The horse in front suddenly became aware of the machine and bolted ahead. The rest followed suit as I came up to them with the result that that there was a mass of ten horses struggling and kicking to get ahead. I finally dismounted and walked past. From here we commenced to drop down to the level of the river. This is done in two successive descents, the first leading on to a plateau about a half mile wide. The second descent is about three hundred feet, the trail. winding down the face of the hill. 1 commenced to ride but the impossibility of making an about turn was quickly demonstrated. MY DESTINATION : FORT ST. LAKE, B. C. ESTABLISHED BY THE HUDSON BAY COMPANY IN 1806. 215, Then I began to walk but the steps soon lengthened until I was really on the jump. The Blackwater River runs at the foot of the hill, the trail crossing it at the Telegraph Cabin. The storm broke just as I was crossing the bridge and the in- vitation to come into the cabin was quickly accepted. Here Mr. Waller had a hot lunch for us and even now, although Iam fairly hardened in that respect, I hate to think of the amount we put away. The storm lasted for a couple of hours when the sun appeared bright and strong and in an hour all traces of the down- pour had disappeared. During the afternoon we amused our- selves teasing the cats. After enticing the cat to us we put pussy over a certain crack. A few taps with the heel and pussy would be ten feet away throwing dirt for a hundred yards. Occas- ionally, the tor- turer would drop aie few ‘‘cuss” words, the wasps being very impartial. The next day we were off tairly early, after rounding up Dick’s horse which hadtaken French leave from the stable. Mr. Waller accompanied us for about a mile on our way. After climbing out ofthe valley the trail became fairly smooth and hard. In a short time we caught up to the pack train but this time I was wise, Striking off the trail, I circled through the trees out ahead of the train while the Indians stood with open mouths. Game was a very scarce article on the trail. The only chicken we had a shot at allowed us to empy a revolver before condescending to come down. About half past twelve we crossed Mud River, nineteen miles from Blackwater. The weather was threatening, dark clouds JAMES ON STUART 216 coming up and an occasional drop of rain falling. We hurried through lunch and started off again, thinking we might pos- sibly escape it. About three miles fur- ther the storm broke, a regular old-fash- ioned hailstorm and in two minutes we were both wet to the skin. We halted under a big tree and held a conference as to whether we should wait under cover or keep on travelling. Both of us were in favor of travelling. Wheeling, how- ever was almost an impossibility, and in about two minutes I realized this fact. Mud baths are not the best to take on the trail. After one experience I walked practically all the rest of the way. About five o’clock it commenced to clear and shortly after I was on the shore of Nalkesby or Bobtail Lake. The trail along the shore of the lake is simply a mass of boulders over which I practically carried the wheel as the quickest way out of the difficulty. I remember one particularly steep hill near the lake on account of the marvellous manner in which I slid down to the foot while trying to gain the top. All the hills were covered with hail and sticky clay rendering it very hard to get a foot- held. Just at dusk I reached the cabin where Dick had already started a fire. I was decidedly tired but some dry clothes, a big hot supper anda cigar will make one forget almost any trouble. The next day, Sunday, I laid over, putting in the morning cleaning and oil- ing my machine. On Monday I was off again, this time by myself. The trail was about the same as usual, ride and walk, walk and ride. The only obstacle was a large windfall in adraw. The trees were piled on each other in every conceivable direction, making very poor foothold. Beyond this was a level stretch of country the trail running straight and almost level. At one o’clock I reached the Beaver Dam refuge cabin and stopped half an hour for lunch. Five miles further on the trail rises on to a Hogsback along which it runs for several miles. This mound maintains a height of about seventy-five feet above the surrounding country and is from ten to twenty feet on the top. ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA From the Hogsback the trail descended abruptly to the ordinary level of the country. A few miles of good wheeling — brought me to Tsinkut Lake. There is no bridge across the creek running out of the lake, the only way to cross being to wade out on a bar which makesa semi-circle in the lake. As I was trying to make out the bara rancher came up and offered to ferry me across in a canoe; an offer I very gladly accepted. Beyond this lake the country is more open and grassy, timbered with small poplars. This is the entrance to the Nechaco valley which has been attracting so much attention in the last couple of years. In fact practically all the land in the valley that is of any use has been taken up, either by settlers or speculators. Two or three miles from the lake the trail divides, the new trail running off to the left tothe cabin. Naturally I follow- ed the old trail and as a consequence had to climb about six or seven fences before coming in sight of the cabin. Here Messrs. Charleson and Milne very kindly put me up for the night. The next morning I did not leave very early as I had only thirty-two miles to go to reach Fraser Lake. About nine o’clock I pulled out, Mr. Charleson ac- companing me as far as the Indian village of Stoney Creek. Here everyone turned out to watch me, even the dogs voicing their welcome. The trail runs along Noolki Lake for a ccuple of miles, then branching off to Tachic Lake. At half past twelve I reached the Bearhead re- fuge cabin where I hadiunch. The trail between here and Fraser Lake was good with the exception of a few sandy stret- ches. At haif past threeI crossed the Nechaco River on a ferry owned and operated by an old miner and _ prospector, Vital Laforce. Vital was the first manto find gold in the Omineca country, being the discoverer of Vital Creek. Shortly afterwardsI reached the Hudson Bay Co’s post where Mr. Peters, the officer in charge, gave me a hearty wel- come. | The next two days I spent in idleness around the post. On Friday I started off again. The trail to Stuart Lake strikes off from the Telegraph trail ina CYCLING THROUGH North Easterly direction. For the first eight miles the trail was fairly good, but soon became rather the reverse. Owing toatable of distances I had obtained from Mr. Peters, with descriptions of the various landmarks, Iwas able to tell exactly what progress I was making. Ten miles from Fraser Lake I reached a sandy hill, very appropriately called Mount View. From the summit of this hill one can see for miles to the south and west, a splendid view being had of the Nechaco valley. At noon I reached the cabin on the divide, twenty-three miles from Fraser Lake. Atthis point I started on the down grade to Stuart Lake. After pass- ing Anderson Lake eight miles from the lake shore, the country is level, with small poplars and cottonwoods growing on it and an occasional tneadow where the Indians cut hay. This part of the trail was exceptionally bad, three miles ofit being corduroy, which did not im- prove the wheeling in the least. Bump- ing over the logs and ruts I exploded the back tire, my second accident. This I mended but when five minutes later it did the same trick I dismounted and walked, thinking it only a short distance to the lake. At five p. m. I reached the Stuart River where the Siwashes were engaged in catching salmon. One of them ferried me across to the Hudson Bay Company BRITISH COLUMBIA 217 Fort, St. James on the opposite shore of the lake. This ended my journey of four hundred and twenty miles which if not exciting is remarkable for the few acci- dents considering the character of the last two hundred miles. This part of British Columbia, while new to settlers,is yet old as far as the - Hudsor Bay Company is concerned, the first post being founded in 1806. During the last two years, however, people have been coming in and taking up homesteads chiefly in the Nechaco valley and around Fraser and Francois Lake as the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway will in all probabi- lity pass through that part of the country. For agriculture the country is well suited. The Hudson Bay Company have at their two posts on Stuart and Fraser Lake grown all the vegetables and small fruits they can consume. At Fraser Lake a crop of oats measured seventy bushels to the acre, when thrashed by horses. This year three-fourths of an acre yielded eight thousand pounds of potatoes some of these weighing as much as three and one half pounds, while the yield in the other vegetables was propor- tionately as great. It will only be a few years now until this part of British Columbia has its towns and flourishing settlements as large as any in the present settled part of the Province. The Bnitish Bisley. BY WALTER ROWSON MIITH the approach of the Bisley | Week and the Imperial contest for ~ the King’s Prize—carrying for its recipient the ‘‘Blue Ribbon”’ of the rifle world—the cracksmen of our Canadian battalions will be contemplating a visit to the Old Country, and reviewing their chances for a repetition of the feat of 1904, when the trophy reached these shores after an absence of almost ten years. In England, speculation will be rife as to the final issue of this year’s competit- ion, for in London, especially, the first day of spring would herald the commence- ment of every military man’s joy—the Bisley Season. From this day onward throughout the summer, and in fact, until late Autumn, the Waterloo terminus of the London and South Western Railway is overrun by crowds of riflemen, one would think numerous enough to give hope even to Bobs and his defence programme. Saturday noon, when work has been 218 shut down in the majority of metropolitan factories and offices, is the time when some idea can be gathered of the Britisher’s prowess outside the daily grin of his civilian life. . Crossing old Father Thames by the Blackfriars and Waterloo bridges a long procession of men make their way to- wards the terminus, being there joined by another contingent from the south river side ; and by one o’clock the platforms seethe with an enthusiastic horde, all anxious to board the first train Bisley- wards in order to enjoy the longest poss- ible time at the ranges. In full enjoyment of the cosmopolitan spirit which prevails on Bisley days, off- cers of His Majesty’s crack cavalry regiments rub shoulders with weedy- looking members of Volunteer infantry, and red-coated ‘‘Tommies’’ of the line condescendingly give points in marks- manship to gentlemen of the National Rifle Association. The N. R. A. men turn out to shoot in the most awe-inspiring ‘‘get ups”. Usually their precious rifle is carried ina ten dollar case, they guard very carefully a grip of details necessary to correct sighting, and to cap all adopt a suit of clothes which the shoemaker has evidently tried to make a good job of—and failed. The main design in one of these suits would appear to be a leather patch over every joint, and an extra yard or so for the lower chest. All carriages for the accommodation of Riflemen are turned smoker, the compart- ments for eight somehow manage to hold another eight, and—well by the time Bisley is called the optics are fit for any- thing but potting bulls. The country around Bisley is decidedly flat, and would be almost monotonous were it not that it is well wooded on the outskirts. Many are the poor ‘‘recruities” who tramp the dry scrub in search of that particular target number which is to be honored by their first shots: and given one of the sultry days so common to the south of England during the summer months, the burden ofa regulation rifle and a couple of perambulations of the three miles of ranges on a seemingly hopeless quest, he can justly aspire to ROD AND GUN-AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA prize money who has still sufficient zeal for target work at the finish. It makes an interesting study to pass down the various ranges and note the progress of the rifleman from the time of his appearance at the two hundred yards until his final success at the eight hund- red or thousand yard shoots. At.the short range those who have just mastered the theoretical knowledge of their armoury are put through an exciting ten minutes while they plug at the circle from positions kneeling, standing, and lying down. The riflemen at the longer distances are dotted along the firing line almost shoulder to shoulder. Each man keeps religiously to his own spread of matting, and bores for the black disc with a silence and method almost automatic in its regularity. After firing a shot he waits for the marker to signal his score, jots it down in a note book, and bringing field glasses into play locates the position of the bullet mark. With this as a guide to his sighting he reloads and continues firing. Not until it is too dark to see the tar- gets do the Bisley men leave for home. and as they troop towards the small way- side station the air is full of enquiry and discussion on the afternoon’s scores. Troopers of the Imperial Yeomanry— resplendent in colour, boots and spurs— speak excitedly of their ‘‘highest possibles’”’, and N. R. A. men make plans for little dinners at the Trocadero, to be paid for by the prize money they have bagged. Not the least happy among the throng are those Volunteers whose names are to appear in next year’s list of marksmen. While waiting for the return to London, sounds of revelry float across from club bungalows owned by the more exclusive regiments, mingling pleasantly with the buzz of camp life which rises from the tents on Bisley Flats. And when the train from Aldershot pulls alongside with a merry detachment of regulars on week- end leave, the. spirit of military camaraderie grows so strong that the battling ground of the world’s best shots is left behind with a resolution to speedily share again the delights of a Bisley Saturday. ; A Sull Hunt With a Camera. BY F. B. IS the months of October and No- | vember thrill the sportsman with a desire to hie away to the old camp in the hunting grounds, so the summer months, when Nature has don- ned her glorious garb, fill the lov er of nature and those who hunt with the camera]? with a longing to }f study the natural forces and seek out the beauty spots which can always be found |B with a little ob- |Ka servation. So, one May day, just after alm big rain, which | stopped the seed- ing operations on the farm, myself and Chum—tis a good idea to take your boy or girl along for a companion—hiked off towards Dundas, Ont. About two hours’ drive brought us toCrook’s Hollow, one of Wentworth’s remembered land- miarks. OoHere, behind the paper mill, we sought our first beauty |: spot. Crook’s Creek, | swollen by thei} rain, came run- ning down over the falls, the flume feeding the mill overflowed and splashed down at our feet, |E& the spray blowing |f in our faces while a picture was taken. Across the creek, down close THE RUSH OF WATER BEHIND THE PAPER MILL. THE MILL FALLS. DOUD. below the falls, a picture was taken of the rush of water tumbling perhaps twen- ty feet. ‘*Gee, this is fine !’’ exclaimed Chum. Yes, truly this spot is worth a visit on such a summer’s morn- ing. On along the road through Crook’s Hollow we saw many pleasing scenes. At one place in the road, we turn- =| ed below an ab- B| rupt ledge of rock 8} some twenty feet ai above, and on the top, just at the i) verge, is an im- ~ mense rock rest- ing upon two smaller stones. This seems a curious prank of Nature ! East of Greensville about half a mile we came to Tew’s Falls. That day a good stream of water was tumbling over into the dizzy depths below. We tied a stone on to some binder twine '|which we had ‘| brought along, and tossed it over the falls, and on measuring the length of the string which ran over the edge made the drop one hundred and sixty-five feet. Up along the top of the ravine, much higher than the falls, we fol- lowed a path to a spot where somebody had 220 gone down. By holding on to trees and roots we scrambled down. At one place where there was a sheer broken ledge of rock, we had to use a rope which we had fortunately with us at the time. Chum took a mighty quick slide on his pants down some score of feet. Above, a chill north wind was blowing, but down in the ravine we found the month of August. There the birds were fully alive; the ferns were growing ram- pant, the trilliums, hepatics, blood-roots and bleeding- hearts were in full bloom; yes, the bumble- bees were there too. Up at the foot of the fall a powerful wind was blowing and the water as it reached the bottom was dispersed into spray. If ever a pic ture was well earned it was here. Chum and I, when we regained the top, were in very good hum- or for our din- ner, which was heartily enjoy- ed on the bank of the stream just above the falls, a good spring of water near at hand. After dinner we followed the path along the top of the ravine through the woods perhaps half a mile to Webster’s Falls, where Creok’s Creek takes its mad plunge of eighty feet down to the great rocks below. This place was once a scene of great activity. Above, on the verge stands the ruins of a grist mill. Cut into the stone over the door is the following motto, ‘‘Speed the plow”. Near the foot of the falls are the burn- ed ruins of some power house, but now WEBSTER’S FALLS ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. Nature is slowly at work throwing her mantle over all. To secure a picture we must cross over the rushing stream, but how and where ? Down the ravine we went climbing over fallen trees and great rocks which have tumbled from the heights above. This surely is the forest primeval! No axe has ever been used down in this wil- derness of fallen trees and rank woods growth. At the first bend in the stream we crossed over on a large pine and worked our way back up near to the falls where a snap shot was made. We scrambl- ed back the way we had come—to the top of the falls, feeling we had enjoyed an hour of hard earned pleasure. 2” Back at Tew’s Falls again we went out along the east side of the ravine about a mile to a point over- looking the Grand Trunk Railway above Dundas. Through the telescope we had a good view of Hamil- ton and the op- posite side of the valley. The scope brought up distinctly the water pouring over the Red Mill Falls, near Ancaster village; another of Nature’s beauty spots. As we retraced the well trodden path, we noted where Crook’s Creek and the other that comes down the higher falls ioin together, perhaps three hundred feet (a guess) below us. We here pulled up some evergreen trees, juniper I think, and took them home, where we arrived before sundown, A. STILL "HG WITH much pleased with our day’s hunt. We got some fairly good pictures and enjoyed the views of one of the finest scenic parts of Ontario.

BY W. lank brown youth ina tattered and ink stained office coat glared sav- agely at the back of the last tardy customer leaving the bank, but with the last bang of the heavy door, his mood changed w on- derfully. As he cleaned up his work his tired eyes found time to gaze away into the distance, where waving tree tops showed beyond the hot stretches of brick and mor- tar, and pat- ches of blue sky mocked him at his toil. But somehow the dreary rou- tine of debits and credits, the nightmare of figures, the tire- some drone of the teller call- ing ‘‘deposit’’!, the endless suc- cession of star- ing faces at his little wicket, passed into nothingness before the sweet inrush of thought born of a clear little creek, away off in the woodland, along which his mind travelled in fancy. From over the hills and far away there rollicked a glad little breeze, a soft little tell tale, a mid-summer breeze. It stole TEW S FALLS: SEEN THROUGH A WOODLAND SCREEN, A.

As one who, like Mr. Young, who writes in your June issue of Salmon and Pigeons, begins to feel like an old timer, would you allow me to ’say a few words on these most interesting matters. Of Salmon I know nothing except what I have heard from my late father who was born and lived for forty years on the banks of the St. Lawrence, and who was an angler and sportsman and took a deep interest in all pertaining to fish and game. I have often heard the subject dis- cussed in my younger days as to whether the Lake Ontario salmon did or did not go down to the sea. I have also seen articles written to ‘©Wilke’s” ‘‘Spirit of the Times’’, at that time probably the only paper devoted to sport published in America. My father’s contention was that the salmon did not go down or up the St. Lawrence but went to the deep waters of Lake Ontario after spawning in the small streams that emptied into the Lake from the north. I have seen it also stated that there are salt springs in the deeper parts of the Lake which supplied them with the necessary salt water. My father’s reasons were, I believe, largely formed from the fact that in a lifetime spent on the waters of the St. Lawrence, angling, spearing with torch, seeing sein- ing and gill netting carried on by fisher- men etc., he had never known ofa salmon being taken in the St. Lawrence. Of wild pigeons, however, I saw a lot and also killed a lot both about Chatham and on the shores of Lake Erie. In the seventies the Chatham Gun Club frequent- ly shot matches with Detroit, Windsor and other places and the birds used were the wild pigeons which we got from commis- sion merchants in Detroit. They cost us ten cents each and we could get any quantity we wanted. The last roost or breeding place was near Petosky, Michi- gan. The writer was told by a young man who was in a commission house at Petosky at the time, of the number ship- ped by his firm alone, and although for- gotten it was enormous both in dead and live birds. The passenger pigeon at that time seemed to be reduced to one immense flock which was followed from place to place by the men engaged in netting them and was in the writer’s opinion practically exterminated in two seasons. The last seen in the County of Kent was near the Big Point Club in the spring in 1879, The Club’s game book shows that Mr. J. B. Pike killed in April of that year twelve, Mr. C. J. Moore three and the writertwo. There was a flock of about fifty feeding in a buckwheat stubble near the Club House out of which the birds were killed. That is the last authentic accounts of the wild pigeon being seen in the County of Kent. What apity sucha beautiful, graceful bird should have met such a fate! We must lay the blame on that greedy indi- vidual the market hunter, who cares not whether it be the last bird or the last fish so long as he can make a dollar out of it. If something is not done, and that at once, the wild pigeon will not be the only species of our game and fish that soon will be a thing of the past. It seems impossible to get our law makers to see that game and fish are val- uable assets to the country. The mar- ket hunter and the market fisherman seem to be all powerful. One of them appears to count for more than several thousand lovers of sport. If there is any talk of stopping their destructive work they cry out about vest- ed rights, but forget about the vested rights of the thousands whom they de- prive of sport and recreation on land and water. Hunters’ Experiences in the North Countree BY W. | 18—a jolly party of hunters, of whom I[ happened to be one, lett Toronto for our annual hunt in the vicini- ty of Lake Nipissing. We had our camp at the mouth of the South River, some twenty-two miles west of Callender. About noon of the following day we arrived at our jumping off place and after dinner took our canoe in the hope of reaching camp in readiness for the follow- ing day’s hunt. It fell to the lot of myself and Griffiths to portage a canoe and camp outfit over a rough trail to Wolf Lake seven miles to the West. The task prov- ed a trying one to people fresh from office life. We were told when we left that at half past three on the same afternoon a pair of dogs would be start- ed for our par- ticular benefit. We would be expected to reach our stand by that time and stop any and every four footed beast that came our way. The equipment was too heavy and al- most knocked us up. For all that however we were at our stands at four o’clock. No sooner were our loads off our shoul- ders than we saw two deer going at full speed and heading north. Though it was only a chance shot and I feared I was not steady enough after my exertions I succeeded in dropping the foremost in its tracks and at the first shot. Two shots were fired at the second one but failed to stop it. The fact that at a quarter past four we had a nice fat doe strung up caused us OF October twenty-first in the year OLD LUMBER CAMP ON WOLF LAKE. H. ALLISON. to forget for a time our lame shoulders caused by the carrying of the canoe. We required this canoe for the purpose of reaching an old camp which was half an hour’s paddle from the landing nearest our.runway. At sundown we started out to find it and reached the place as dark- ness came on. It was a wild, desolate place, situate about fifteen rods back from the shore amongst the tall dark pines fit for the home of a hermit. At that time we were nine miles from ail civiliz- ation. We prepared supper as well aswe could, and as neither of us had ever been over the ground previously, we could not but reflect upon the many changes we had under- gone since leaving home, only twenty- one hours be- fore. After a good smoke we turned in on a bed of green boughs and slept, as only sportsmen can sleep, until three o’clock in the morning, when I awoke, feeling cold, and started the fire. We were up at daybreak and after a hasty breakfast, bustled into our can- oe and were at our stands, three miles away, by seven o’clock. No game how- ever called upon us during the whole day. Towards evening we tramped back to the mouth of South River to learn what success the balance of the crowd had had in their hunting. We found that Bart- lett and Arthur, the youngest sportsmen of the party, had wounded a large doe which got away as the dogs refused to work after having been taken off the track at the stand. They had ex- HUNTERS’ EXPERIENCES IN THE NORTH COUNTREE pected to find her dead within a short distance of where they stood but in this they were disappointed. Thursday again found us early on our stands and I was placed on a watch be- tween an old lumber camp and and the narrows of Wolf Lake—without success. Only one deer was seen that day by any of the party and that passed between my brother and the doctor, but too far away for either to Giemec mn. Ac- cordingly we re- turned to camp without any game but four partridges which the boys knocked over on their way home. Luck was against us again on Fri- day although dogs ran well and put a large buck between the stands in the marsh to the east of the South River. Several shots were fired at him but we were all too far away for any ofus to reach him. Rain fell heavily nearly all day and the high wind rolled the waves from the north on old Lake Nipissingin such fashion as to in- dicate that our sport for the week was nearly ended. The stormstill continued on Saturday and we arranged for a run at noon. After reaching our stands two dogs were put out and an hour later the booming of my brother’s gun told us something was try- ing to get past at the marsh. After the third shot a loud halloo indicated that DISTURBED WHILE AT LUNCH ON THE WATCH. 225 the deed was done and a large buck had fallen shot through the head. There was no prouder man in the district than the lucky one who did the shooting, it being his first deer. Every season for the past ten years had he hunted and at last suc- cess had crowned his efforts. No won- der he was proud! One of the party had a camera and we are able to show “‘The Despat- cher at Work’”’, Sunday we spent quietly in writing to the dear ones at home telling them of our good and bad fortunes for the past week. On Monday the dogs were started as soon as we had time to reach our stands. About ten o'clock I saw a fine buck coming my way As soon as he was within range I opened on him with the Winchester and at the third shot he drop- ped, sthta t through the neck. The am- ateur, Arthur, hurried over to me and assisted in hanging: him up. The deer dressed we sat down on a con- venient log to chat oVer my success. Presently [ saw my brother running down towards Arthur’s stand and in a few moments a fine buck passed within a few yards of where Arthur should have been standing. A couple of shots failed to stop him and he soon disappeared over the hills. Two sets of dogs were giving tongue at a quarter past seven on Tuesday morn- 226 ing, and we were all attention at our different stands. Arthur, the amateur, was the first to notice a deer heading for his stand and in a few moments he was throwing lead at it, although it was some seventy yards away and still going. When the gun missed fire his heart almost failed him. After firing eleven shots the deer bounded off through the bushes and on going to look for the traces of blood he found the deer dead within three rods of where it disappeared. It had been shot through the neck and shoulders. The deer prov- ed to be a full grown farrow doe and being his first deer Arthur was very proud of his success. In the afternoon three of us started for Wolfe Lake in order to portage out the deer and canoe. It was seven o'clock before we reach- ed the camp on our return trip, dead tired. An early start on Wednes- day morning showed us the creeks, marshes and rivers were frozen, causing the deer to change their courses. Ap- parently the deer ran north to the open lake and we had no success. On Thursday the dogs again gave tongue as early as half past seven. They were on the hills to the west and soon started deer. The amateur, who seemed to be the most fortunate in hav- ing deer run to him, was the first to open proceedings by firing four shots at a large doewhich finding the bullets come too close turned back; after another lively run on the hills, circled, and attempted to pass my big hrother’s stand. A few shots from his 38.55, one of which broke its hind leg, caused it to stop in the al- ders. I ran for nearly a halfa mile and the dog coming up at the same time dashed into the bushes. From the noise made, it appeared as if the dog has seized the deer. It ran out on the cleared land within three rods of the water, and at the second shot which went through ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. ~ THE DESPATCHER AT WORK. the neck, it fell dead. The most. excit- ing episode of the whole hunt was the sight of the amateur running up to head off the deer knife in hand. His cartridges had given out and in the race he lost his mitts and overcoat. He had posted himself behind a large stump, waiting for the deer to come up to him, and I was sorry I had disappointed his expectations of a fight. That day ended a pleasant hunt_ us we all enjoyed tothe full. Our bag con- sisted of five deer,twenty-seven partridges several rabbits and duck and a large owl.

Mr. M. S. Casson writes from Iro- quois, Ont. :—A pointer to our Chief Game Warden. We hear and read many Opinions expressed by hunters and others of the best methods of protecting deer. The best of all however can be stated in four words: ‘‘Give the hunter snow.” This is the view of one of the oldest and most successful hunters living in Ontario today. Though he is past seventy-eight years of age, he last fall killed two deer running at full speed about seventy-five yards distant. Often do we hear of hun- ters wounding deer and losing them. Why ? Because they have no snow. The same old hunter thinks a good sized book could be written on the many advantages of having snow when hunting deer. | may add that the writer and the hunter referred to have had the advantage of hunting with men like Jack Miner. The Last Panther. BY JAMES E. ORR. ORE than sixty years ago I worked a farm north of Lambeth, Ontario. : I was a strong young man of twen- ty-five and not easily frightened by any of the wild animals then roaming around. On one occasion, however, I met my match. I was returning home at midnight and was about half a mile north of the village when I heard a most horrible yell, an unearthly screeching meow which was re- peated several times and followed by a horrible spitting noise like a cat, only about one hundred times as loud. As I glanced nervously around I saw a pan- ther on the fence. I paused for a moment not knowing what to do. The people in the village would laugh and think I was a coward if I turned back. Home was half a mile away and I determined to make a run for it. I did not follow the road. Jumping the fence west of the animal, and frigh- tened out of all reason, I went at a des- perate pace, knowing that if I were caught there would be one man less in the world in a few minutes. I stayed for nothing and kept up my pace until the house was reached. I don’t think the panther followed me far. Apparently, after about forty rods of a race, he was discouraged and gave up as I heard no more spitting after that. When I reached home I was exhausted beyond the power of words to express. Next day I learned that the panther went a mile further north to Cutler’s farm killing a sheep, eating about half of it and leaving the rest for a fill up anoth- er night. These animals with their im- mense jaws can break almost any bone, even those of oxen. The next day old Mr. Cutler prepared his rifle and expressed his intention of watching all night believing that the panther would return to take another meal off the sheep. The programme was carried out and sure enough about mid- night Mr. Panther made his appearance and prepared to eat a good supper. Just as the rifle was raised the animal gave one of his awful meows—a screech that echoed through the mid-night stillness of the Byron Hills and awakened every dog within hearing distance from his slumbers, causing them to howl in a variety of keys sufficient to upset a man of strong nerves. The result was that the old gentleman ‘was so frightened he had not the nerve to fire, and leaving his sheep unprotected he quickly retreated to the shelter of his house and bed. On the day following the news was spread through the neighborhood: A live panther had been seen on two previ- ous nights by two different men. The story was circumstantial enough to be believed and accordingly two noted hun- ters of the district, Mr. Patrick and his son, decided to try and hunt the marau- der down. For severai hours they made a close scrutiny of the thick woods, going cauti- ously over the hills and ravines of the countryside. It was not until the even- ing was closing in that they discovered the panther in the top of a big chestnut tree. At the moment of discovery the animal was preparing to spring like a cat upon the shoulders of the men. Cool heads and steady nerves were required to conquer that dangerous animal. The elder Mr. Patrick took careful aim and. fired but did not bring the animal to earth. The son fired and registered a hit for the animal fell. As it fell it gave a thunderous roar and grabbing a branch of the tree with its fore paws it hung there spitting like wild fire. The reloaded rifle was used again, the third shot bringing the animal to the ground with a flop. I guess this was the last panther ever seen alive in Westminster. From nose to tail it measured six feet and stood three feet high. The hunters stated that the giitter in the animal’s eyes was most unpleasant to look at. SaseA-!-_ ‘‘Hibernian” writes from Montreal :— “‘In a very interesting article in your cur- rent issue by Dr. E. Sisley there is a statement that rather surprises me. I have been fishing on the other side of the Atlantic and in Canada for the best part of forty years and have up to now always looked upon the Char or Charr as a vari- ety of trout wzthowt the carmine or pink spots, which I have always considered the birth marks of true trout. Dr. Sisley on p 160 says, in speaking of the canna- balistic habits of brook trout, ‘I wish to draw your attention to this habit, for it applies to all the pink spotted variety or charrs.’ Ihave caught charr in Ireland and here, but invariably toa fly, (and a deeply sunk fly too) at least I have always considered them Char-fish with deep pink flesh never much over a pound and abso- lutely without speckle or spot, but vary- ing in colour; generally though, dark olive back,shading into gold on the sides and fading into white on the belly. Will some of your readers kindly convince me of my error or confirm me in my faith. I’m not ‘‘sot’’ in my belief, but I dislike having the ideas of many years shattered at one blow.” Surely it is a sign of the times for dig- nified Senators to discuss fish protection. At a recent meeting of the Senate, Sena- tor Casgrain suggested a parliamentary committee to obtain information regard- ing the inland fisheries. The Hon. R. W. Scott informed the House that the International Committee was considering the appointment of a commissioner to re- port upon the inland fisheries. Senator Ross thought that the difficulties were created by dual jurisdiction. Mr. John J. Huston, a well-known guide of Thessalon, Ont. writes: Pos- OUR MEDICINE BAG | | sibly the following little incident may interest some of your readers. Four years ago I had occasion to take a canoe trip to Wauquematogoming Lake by way of Wauquekobing. As I approach- ed the trail leading from the latter lake to the Mississaga River a sudden scream- ing came from the direction of the hill just back of where the Canadian Club House now stands. My helper in the bow yelled ‘‘pigs’” and I answered ‘‘Mr. Bruin” ! The sounds certainly conveyed the impression that a dozen pigs were in some way suffering tortures. As soon as the bow of the canoe struck the shore I grabbed my pistol— a Mauser—and made off in the direction from which the sounds came. While passing about thir- ty yards from a large tree that had fallen towards the lake*l noticed a black fluff of hair apparently on the surface of the ground, the intervening bushes hiding the view. I stepped up on a knoll and peered over the bushes. There I could see Mr. Bear down ina hole left by an upturned tree root. He was evidently enjoying himself hugely having all kinds of sport with a little white pig. Just as a cat plays with a mouse the bear was playing with the pig, dangling it around in its forepaws and tossing it from one side to the other, occasionally giving it a gentle nip to make it squeal. I watched this for some time but fearing that if my presence were discovered suddenly it would mean an end of the pig’s life I gave a low whistle. Mr. Bruin raised his head to listen and I, taking advantage of the at- titude, shot him in the head the bullet en- tering between the eyes. He dropped sud- denly and I sent a second bullet into him. When I got to the edge of the hole the pig had succeeded in worrying himself from the clutches of his tormentor and hurriedly made his escape towards the lake, bearing with him the tracings of Bruin’s claws visible all over his body. 268 A most attractive folder has been is- sued by the C. P. R. on the Muskoka and Georgian Bay districts. This pamp- let contains an excellent map of the north shore of Lake Huren and the Georgian Bay and also gives an accurate idea of the sportsman’s country that has been opened up by the extension of the Toron- to and Bala Branch up to Sudbury. We hear of several parties who are taking advantage of this new line to be amongst the first to visit the French River country and the map in the pamplet should be a great help to them. This folder can be obtained by applying to Mr. L. O. Arm- strong, Tourist Agent C.P.R., Montreal. This same department issues a leaflet de- scribing the fishing and hunting to be en- joyed in this new country. Several inquiries have reached us late- ly as to the possibility of obtaining guides and canoes on the French and Pickerel Rivers especially in that portion of the French and Pickerel River dis- tricts opened up by the new branch line of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way from Toronto to Sudbury. We are glad to be able to give the information that Mr. Fred Currie, whose address is French River Village, P. O., is able to supply several canoes and guides and we would recommend our readers to commu- nicate with this gentleman should they be contemplating a trip in that locality. He can supply about ten boats and guides. Joe McKenzie, who lives on the Indian Reservation, is also a good guide, is ar- ranging to supply about ten boats and will also procure other guides if neces- sary. We are informed thata letter ad- dressed to him c/o. C. P. R. Agent at Pickerel, Ont., will reach him. A Mr. Wm. Hood is making arrangements to send thirty men into this section to act as guides. They are men who have previ- ously been in the Muskoka Lakes and and Lake of Bays district, and are going in charge of a foreman to study the wa- ter and country. Mr. Hood is also ar- ranging with the Ontario Government to secure lands for them, and they will all settlein that district permanently. All are enthusiastic about the country, and they say that the fishing and hunting there is going to be superior to anything open- edup in Ontario to date. There is no ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA doubt that this country is about as fine as could be desired, the bass having been practically undisturbed and the miaskin- onge fishing being probably as good as can be obtained auywhere. Tents and provisions will probaby have to be ob- tained in advance, at loronto, Sturgeon Falls or somie other place. One of the contingencies to be reckon- ed with by either huuter or fisherman is awetcamp. Sometimes tor days to- gether the heavens spuil their coutents and to those unprovided with waterproof clothing the vacation may be utterly spoiled when time is limited. Ail camp- ers, hunters, and fishermen will be glad to hear of a comparatively new huntsnicn’s jacket that really does what is claimed tor it—shed water. Equipped with a Raino jacket you can not only keep dry about the camp, but can be out in the pouring rain and smile at the heavy clouds, knowing the water will not pene- trate through this protector. ‘Lhen the feeling of supremacy over this inconven- ient watery element gives one such an elation that, combined with the sport on which we are bent, makes us teel we are somebody and thrills us with joy unspeak- able. The jacket has lining of khaki that form game pockets, and pockets in plenty are added. The tabric is neither rubber that peels and cracks, nor 1s it a slicker that becomes sticky. It isa chemically treated cloth and its life is endless it decently cared for, yet it may be pitched about anywhere, and will not spoil before a hot camp fire. For auto- mobilists it has the added merit of keep- ing out the cold wind when caught ina sudden change of temperature as neither wind nor rain can go through it. Thus possessing sterling merits, it still does not handicap one by its weight for the jacket weighs less than four pounds. Equipped with this jacket anda pair of trousers of the same material you can defy the elements, be they what they may.

A great deal of excitement has been caused this year by the fresh find of sil- ver at Silver Centre about fifty miles south of Cobalt and a great many pros- pectors are going in every day. Lately a new discovery has been made south of the Montreal River which is said to be extremely rich in silver and copper. This claim is three miles south of the Matabit- chouan River and one mile from the shore of Lake Temiskaming. The most con- venient way to get into this country is via C, P.R. to Timiskaming station more convenient than going in from Hailey- bury. Those who would like to combine a little silver hunting and prospecting with a hunting and canoe trip could not do better than go to Timiskaming. There is an excellent hotel there called Hotel Bellevue. A beautiful trip through a dis- trict renowned for deer and moose with a chance of finding silver thrown in, could be enjoyed by proceeding up Lake Timiskam- ing and going by way of the Kipawa Riv- er into Kipawa Lake. Such a trip could easily be extended through to Grand Lake Victoria and thence into the Otta- wa River or the railway could be oimed at Kipawa station. Itis not often that one is able to recommend a trip combining both pleasure and profit tothe sameextent as this trip would, and we hope that some of those who take it will let us hear of their experiences.

Red W Cleaning Preparation. The necessity of keeping a gun well oiled and free from rust and corrosives, has always been appreciated by regular hunters and others who wish their guns to do the best shooting possible, and good preparations for this purpose have been in demand. The Winchester red W cleaning preparations, Gun Oil, Gun Grease, Rust Remover and Crystal Clean- er, are the best on the market and with their aid any gun can be kept in the best condition. They are especially necessary at the sea shore, or in camp on the banks of stream or lake, and in moist days of summer, when firearms rust easily. Get a set of these preparations and give the gun a thorough cleaning and oiling. They are for sale byall dealers. Ask for red W cleaning preparations. To those whose hobby is bird shooting we strongly recommend a trip into Sas- katchewan especially the country around Regina, Qu ’Appelle and Moose Jaw which can be reached by the C. P. R. Here is probably the finest wild duck shooting to be obtained in the world. There are over forty varieties of wild duck to be found, about a dozen varieties of geese and brant, wild swan, pelicans, and cranes of various sorts abound, and in addition, for those who prefer larger game, there are both blacktailed deer and antelope (pronghorn) in abundance. Spec- ial attention however is drawn to the wild fowl. During the latter part of August ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. and the whole of September and October it can be said that the flight shooting to be obtained in this district is not surpass- ed anywhere in the world. The grain fields to the south in the neighborhood of Regina, Qu’Appelle and Moose Jaw have just been reaped and twice a day, at sun- rise and sunset, the geese fly from their breeding grounds, literally in thousands, to feed on the stubble. The hunter could thus begin his day at daybreak with geese, and this shooting would be over by about 6.30 to 7.00a.m. It is presumed that one’s tent is pitched on the shore of the Lake. From breakfast-time until nearly sunset one might shoot duck from a punt or from the shore, or go off on ponies to the wocded districts after black-tailed deer, or go westwards into the more open prairies after pronghorn antelope. In addition to all these there are countless prairie chicken which offer splendid sport this being a particularly strong flying-bird. To the collector an endless variety of uncommon birds of the avocet and wader tribes can be promised and also some magnificent species of crane which will tax his stalking powers to the utmost, and there is one large crane in particular, a specimen of which once obtained, should make an ardent collector happy for months. As to fishing all the lakes are teeming with coarse fish such as pike, pickerel and what is locally known in the district as the buffalo fish. The latter grows to an enormous size, up to forty and even fifty pounds in weight, and seems to be a species of carp. The pike also run heavy, fish of twenty-five and thirty pounds being quite common. Then there is the white fish which fre- quently reaches eight or ten pounds. As a rule these are netted but there is un- doubtedly a time in the fall of the year, when they will take the fly though the period is not a protracted one, and varies according to the year, sometimes not oc- curring until late inSeptember, and some- times as early as the middle of August, but rarely lasting more than two or at most three weeks. Any sportsman who spends a couple of months under canvas there will regret leaving the coun- try and will desire nothing more fervently, both on the score of sport and of climate, than to repeat the experiment.

Mr. Bastedo’s long experience on fishery af- fairs and particularly his long study and perscnal experience of these questions as affecting both sides of our international waterways eminently qualifies him for his new position and the interests of Can- ada—highly important as they are—may be safely trusted to his care. A correspondent writes that he has been spending a vacation in the woods less than sixteen miles from Webbwood station on the‘‘Soo’’branch of the C.P.R. One afternoon, while resting from fishing on a smail lake near a lumber-camp, and admiring the magnificent scenery, he saw two large bull moose and several deer feeding in the lake. A return visit to the same place on the following day resulted in his seeing four large bull moose and three cows and again several deer feeding in the lake. On this last occasion he had his camera with him and was rewarded by several fine pictures. It is not often that such luck falls to anyone. Moose are often seen when a camera is not part of one’s equipment and it was an excep- tional piece of luck to go out especially armed with the camera and get better subjects and more of them than anticipat- ed. This section of the country should be visited in the fall by those after big game as there is no doubt that the moose and deer have increased in this section lately. The International Deep Waterway Commission met at Toronto in June and made further progress with the differen- tiation of the boundary line between Can- ada and the States. It is stated that many old maps were gone over and gen- erally found to be wrong. The Commis- 273 sion also engaged in discussing the trou- blesome question of how to prevent poach- ing on the Great Lakes. A bear in church was the strange scene which startled the members of the St. Mary’s congregation at Winnipeg the other Sunday. Naturally there was great excitement for a time and it was not un- til the animal was recognized as a pet that had strolled from its home some dis- tance away that calmness was restored. Evidently Bruin knew it was Sunday and was desirous of learning for what reason the humans gathered in a building instead of remaining Outside in such glorious weather. Many besides the bear wonder- ed at the same thing. “The Flight is on—Duck Shooting’s Good!” This might well be the ttle of the new Marlin Wall Hanger which we have just received from The Marlin Firearins Com- pany, New Haven, Conn.

The skill of the shooters, or at least one of them, bids fair to secure a record bag, for while his companion is reloading, this chap has brought down a Mallard drake and its mate, and is all ready for a third shot. Evidently his gun is a repeater, and probably a Marlin, as the Marlin Company makes quite an assortment.of repeating rifles and shot guns specially adapted to duck shooting. The falling Mallard drake is faithfully and beautifully portrayed in the fore- ground zm all of tts natural colors, with wings outspread and is just striking the water.

THE NEW LONDON MOTOR CO. NEW LONDON, CONN. AND A Constitutional Question. Is it constitutional to exclude the auto? The recent passing of an act by the Prince Edward Island Legislature to prohibit autos in the Province is, as might have been expected, to be thoroughly test- ed as to its constitutionality. Some of the owners have deliberately broken the law and been fined five hund- red dollars. An appeal against these convictions should show whether the law is not ultra vires. If it is good law then the sooner the Prince Edward Islanders receive some enlightment on the subject ofautos the better for the progress of their island.

Without a Gear Box. It is reported that the 1909 Panhard cars will be a distinct novelty. It is ru- mored that the new French invention which has been purchased by the Panhard Levassor Co., and will be introduced in the 1909 models of Panhard cars indicates that the device is entirely successful in its operation and destined to be revolu- tionary in its effects. Although the prin- ciple of the device is a carefully guarded secret, it is known that by some means the change of speeds is effected direct from the fly-wheel and the necessity for the gear box is absolutely done away with. The experiments which have been conducted with the new cars have been concluded, and the invention is scheduled to appear early in the fall. The sweeping effect of such a change in transmission can readily be appreciated. The few automobilists who have heard rumors of the device credit it with being remark- ablv effective. It is said its sim- plicity is its most surprising feature, and that it will increase the efficiency of the AUTOMOBILES AUTOMOBILING | ve car markedly. Aside from simplicity of operation, it is expected to make a material reduction in the cost of produc- tion, which will be reflected eventually in a lower-priced commodity for the public. Automobiles and Hotels. The Ontario Motor League is engaged in arranging with the hotel-keepers throughout the Province to grant favour- able rates to members of the League. In return they will issue signs to the hotels as a guidance to their members and re- commend such hotels as the places at which they will be welcomed when on tour. A Prophecy Coming True. Henry Ford in a recent interview de- clared it to be his belief that the horse was doomed to go, that its period of use- fulness was nearing an end, the automo- bile succeeding, and that this fact com- bined with the recognized danger from a sanitary view point of allowing the hor- ses to traverse the streets, would in the course of ten years cause the horse to be- come a rare animal. Every section of the country has entered its protest again- st this statement in editorial and by letter and because of the general lack of infor- matiou which their protests proclaim Mr. Ford has taken the trouble to present the following facts gleaned from recent ac- counts appearing in various papers. New York City has voiced its sentiment by endorsing the taximeter Cab so enthusi- astically as to swamp the cars in service and force the operators to place rush or- ders for more cars. Horse drawn cabs line the curbs with nothing to do, while hundreds of people, shoppers and business men who have heretofore utilized the horse vehicle, now walk because the gas- oline cars are all in use In Milwaukee the council has decided to replace the 280 horse-drawn fire engines with motor trucks, has purchased amotor police patrol and for sometime has used automobiles in the department of parks, police depart- ment and fire department. From Geor- gia there comes the report of the use of motor tractors for ploughing, the tests developing the fact that with a motor one man can plough three times the acre- age possible with horses. Mr. Ford has been for two years experimenting with farm machines, and has secured patents on a gasoline tractor. On his farm of four hundred acres where nine horses have been required to work it, the motor tractor is being already successfully used, and this fall the horses are to be sold and all the farm worked with the motor driv- en vehicle. Armies abroad are experi- menting with trucks for transportation of troops. Many officers in military man- ouvres instead of riding on the back of a galloping charger now cover more ground with a runabout. The mounted police, in the larger cities, long ago adopted the motor cycle as being superi- or to the horse and now almost every city has part of its force so equipped. Three mail carriers on rural routes out- side of Seneca, Kansas, are using runa- bouts to deliver the mail. Over in Syra- cuse, New York, a gasoline motor hearse isin daily use. In hundreds of cities motor ambulances are in constant use, demonstrating their superiority over the horse-drawn varieties. From the forego- ing it will be recognized that the motor car is fast proving its value for business. For pleasure it has been popular from the first, and this year with all the talk of financial depression, there is a shortage of cars. There are 200,000 automobiles registered in the United States and when you consider that the industry is young, a practical economical car being a possibil- ity only for the last three or four years, you will appreciate how rapidly the horse is being superseded. Of course senti- ment favors the horse, and the majority of the people dissenting with Mr. Ford’s view of the horse’s doom are guided by sentiment. Needless Restrictions. It is dificult to imagine what rural councillors can think of autos when we find them petitioning the Legislature ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. to make it illegal to run autos on the rural highways before eight in the morn- ings and one afternoon of each week. This is the position of the reprentatives ot the Leeds and Grenville counties. Surely these men can know nothing of auto pro- gress or they would refrain from such needless and irritating attempts at re- strictions. Taxicabs in Boston. ' Fifty of the new, handsome Taxicabs have been put into service by the Taxi Motor Cab Company at Boston. For a long time New York, Chicago, Philadel- phia and Washington have been enjoying cheap Taxicab rates, but it has remained for William P. Barnhart, representative of the new firm, to get the Boston public interested in this new method of trans- portation, Although only fifty of the cars have been put into service at the present time, it is the intention of the new company to place at least one hun- dred and fitty cars in Boston as soon as traffic warrants it, The new taxicabs are dark green and yellow very handsomely upholstered. They are a product of the factory of the E. R. Thomas Motor Com- pany of Buffalo, the manufacturers of the ‘‘Thomas Flyer”. The cars cost $3000.00 apiece and are of the latest French de- sign. They can be used open or closed and will seat five passengers besides the driver. Under the new system the French Taximeter will be used to estimate. the charges, and it will be impossible for the passenger to be overcharged. . Further- more, it will make no difference with the taxicabs whether they carry one or four passengers the charges for the vehicle being the same. For the first half mile the car costs 30 cents, 10 cents is added for each half mile thereafter, and 10 cents for each six minutes of waiting. The new Taxi Motor Company will have its sub-stations at all of the popular hotels, clubs, cafes and both railway stations. The Pilot Cars for the A.A. A. Tour. Chairman Frank B.

A 6-cylinder Premier ‘‘45” was used in successfully laying out the 1908 route early in May last, when the heavy rains, deep mud and rough country roads put the pathfinding party and car to one of the severest tests known in the history of motoring. The companion pilot car— a Reo ‘‘20”—is a $1250 model, one of which created the great sensation in the 1907 Glidden reliability touring contest by being the only car of the 83 starters selling under $2250 which finished with a perfect score, and then made its 500-mile official non-stop dash immediately there- after, principally from New York to Jamestown Exposition in twenty-three and one-half hours. In view of the clean bills of health back of these cars it is con- fidently expected that the strenuous work of piloting the 1908 Gliddenites and How- erites will be creditably and satisfactorily performed through the six states begin- ning at Buffalo and terminating at Sara- Bea ver otors WORK LIKE BEAVERS.

Selecting the Olympic Representatives. The most important events since the publication of our last number were the contests for the selection of represen- tatives of Canada in the Olympic acqua- tics to take place in England. The re- gatta at which these events were decided was heldat St. Catharines on Friday, June twenty-sixth and created much interest throughout Canada. Particularly gratifying was the splendid spirit shown by the clubs of Nova Scotia in sending three crews to contest the events. Al- though none of them won, their public spirit was none the less commendable and and the manner in which they took their defeat showed that they are true sports- men. The regatta was favoured with ideal weather, there was a _ spleidid attendance of the public interested in boating and some exciting finishes were seen. The morning was taken up with the heats and the finals were rowed in the afternoon. Inthe fours, the North Stars of Dartmouth won over the North West Arm of Halifax andthe Argonauts of Toronto beat St. Mary’s of Hali- fax. Inthe first case the finish was so close that spectators could not decide as to the winner but in the second case the Argonauts finished three lengths ahead. In the final the Argos had all the best of it and won by five lengths. Time nine minutes, sixteen seconds. For the singles Lou Scholes, who was the favourite having won the champion- ship in England four years ago, showed himself greatly the superior to those who entered against him. He won his heat with ease, Harry Jacobs, of the Dons, being second and John O’Neill of Halifax, third. The second heat was productive of a fine race which was pulled off by Bowler, of the Dons, Cos- grave, of the Argonauts, taking second Edited by LOU. E. MARSH place by only a few inches, and William Duggan of Halifax making the third. In the final Scholes was not av all pushed at any stage. He speedily gained the lead. and maintained it throughout, winning by four lengths. After a number of changes the second place was taken by Bowler who finished one and a half engths in front of Jacob. Time 9.16. The Fours Were Northwest Arm, Halifax—J. Turner, stroke ; A.

R, Pringle IIhthibipihibipipptbibip and Mr. J. R. Pringle, the genial scretary, manipulated the affair and are entitled to due credit or its success. There were not manv shooters from gq distance, but the attendance of the shooters of the locality ws good. G. M. Dunk, Toronto, was there with his usual ‘‘win- ning ways,’’ and was the sole representative of that village. Dr. Overholt, Hamilton, was there. The Doctor tries to hide his vden‘ity at the traps under the shooting name of ‘‘Dr. Wil- son’’ but his good scores and senial manner al- ways give him away. Other good shooters from Hamilton were Messrs. Barnes and Ryan, but there were still other good men from that mountain section’? conspicuous by* their ab- Sence. Straight scores were made in the Vari- ous events by J. R. Pringle, W. H. Hvnseher- Ty, G. M. Dunk, C.Choate, D.Kon"Je, Dr. Wil- son, Barnes and Smith. Bill Bailey near'w did it once, but he slinped up on his last hird and left a cavity in his score th>t will never be filled. The hest shooting of the day was done by Mr. Princle, wh- hroke 149 out of 165.

In camp it always tastes better than a home, even though it is often pretty black and sometimes a bit muddy. The percolator at home makes better coffee—coffee that is more healthful—that we all admit. And now comes the first CAMP PERCOLATOR, one made com- pact like your nesting outfit—made even smaller than the camp pot you have been carrying, with bail for use over the camp fire, and with folding handle—doesn't that sound good to you? A percolator doesn’t boil over, doesn’t spoil the coffee if left to boil, and you don’t have to get it off the fire at a prescribed monfent. This percolator doesn’t need minute description—it embodies the principal and is made following the particular style of the famous ‘*Meteor” which has been universally used for years. The one principal feature of this percolator is that it is made for yow in camp, or en route, wherever you carry your own compact outfit and brew your own beverage. All first-class sporting goods dealers either have this percolator, or can order it for you. If you are not near a dezler send to us direct—by mail.

They fail to consider the fact that the engine that ‘‘glides’’ up-grade would race itself to death on a flat, straight- way run. It’s simply a question of gears. Any motor car can be equipped with a reduced gear adapted to hill-climbing purposes. It is the car constructed for genuine service and that gives genuine satisfaction in running up hill or down dale, across country or on the level, that proves its thorough dependability.
