ii4 HINTS FOR YOUNG SHOOTERS 



And so farewell till next season ye guns, cart- 

 ridges, shooting-lunches, muffed birds, lost birds, 

 winged birds, eager dogs, liable to your masters' 

 anger; ye beaters hot in pursuit of the much 

 enduring rabbit ; ye keepers, men of sterling quality 

 both in skill and in the tips ye receive. And fare- 

 well, all ye pleasant companions of many happy 

 days ; good shots, passable shots, and poor shots, 

 farewell, a brief farew r ell to all of you. Next season, 

 I hope, we shall all shoot again, and converse, if 

 aught my humble efforts have availed, even more 

 brilliantly and aptly than before. Heaven prosper 

 all shooters in the interval !
