MEMORABILIA. 237 



A Happy Mixture —In the Haiee Creek, in 1885, Dr. J. Ward Hall, shooting with the late Mr. 

 T. J. Macdonald, got to his own gun in a day — 



15 pheasants 

 4 geese 



3 bamboo partridges 

 2 mallards 

 2 woodcocks 

 1 teal 

 1 deer 

 1 hare 



Total, 29 head. 



A Good Day's Work. — Again, in company with Messrs. F. E. Haskell, J. S. Fearon and E. U. 

 Smith, he individually, bagged in one day at the north end of the once known large 

 plain, II miles from Kashing in 1888 — 



26 pheasants 

 1 mandarin duck 



Total, 27 head 



Chinese Chasseurs. — Two native sportsmen, Messrs. Lo Kingyung and Kum Ayean, in 

 December 1891, in the Sakong neighbourhood, in five days bagged — 



63 pheasants 



20 quails 



11 woodcocks 



Total, 94 head. 



Good Enough. — And in 1893 Messrs. Yang, Lo Kingyung and Kum Ayen, in two days at 

 Towszejow (away from Shanghai 6 days in all) got — 



91 pheasants 

 4 woodcocks 

 11 teal 



Total, 106 head. 



Even Shooting. — In 1876 and 1877, in four shooting trips, Messrs. S. Daly and H. T. Wade 

 shot 1,273 head, of which 1,129 were pheasants — seven head only separating the 

 individual bags. 



At Wuhu in 1894 Messrs. W. T. Phipps and H. T. Wade shot 171 and 172 

 pheasants respectively. 



A Great Shot. — The late Mr. G. G. Hopkins was undoubtedly one of the finest shots who 

 ever came to China. I was with him when he made an extraordinary bag of quail at 

 Nakong, and I have known him to have half-a-dozen snipes on the ground at one time
