94 SHOOTING AND SALMON FISHING 



this bag, but with bona-fide wild ones it was a good score. I 

 shot exactly ten hours, using 998 cartridges, loaded with 

 43 grains of Schultze and i^ oz. of No. 5 shot, the litde squib 

 cartridges used in big warren days being, to my mind, useless 

 with downright good rabbits if you want to make a certain bag. 

 My cousin walked with me the greater part of the day and 

 kept the count, and while he was with me the average was 92 

 out of a 100; second barrels and long shots account for the 

 disparity between this and 746 out of 998 cartridges." 



In coming to the end of the shooting portion of this book, 

 the author wishes to state he has tried all he could to avoid 

 touching on matter mentioned in books of sport that he has 

 read. Hints and recollections illustrating the same are all that 

 he has intended to venture on, and he will be thoroughly well 

 pleased should either the one or the other have been of service, 

 or interesting, to any of his readers.
